The e-Moto Velocity 2.5 step-through bike provides an extra boost of powered assistance to get you conveniently around town, to the store or through your daily commute.

  • Electric-assist design utilizes a battery powered motor to take the strain off a long commute, haul groceries or simply make quick, easy work of hills
  • Powerful 36V 9Ah Panasonic lithium ion battery powers the 250W high-torque brushless rear hub motor; battery can be quickly and easily detached from frame
  • VPAC torque sensor intelligently senses the amount of pressure being put on the pedals and automatically adjusts the amount of power input from the motor
  • This means that when you start to push harder on the pedals to get up a hill, the system knows to drive more power to the assist motor, taking the strain off of you
  • Maximum range of the pedal-assist feature is 35 miles: if you run the pedal assist constantly while pedaling for 35 miles, the battery will be drained
  • Motor assist tops out at a safe speed of 15 mph and also instantly cuts power to the motor once you stop pedaling, keeping you in control
  • Keep tabs on how much battery power you have left with the handlebar mounted charge indicator; battery cycle life is 600 - 1,000 charges
  • Recharging the battery is quick and easy: plug charger into 110 - 240V outlet and connect the battery; if battery is fully drained it will take 3 - 4 hrs. to recharge
  • With a quick flip of a switch above the battery pack, the electric power assist feature can be turned off if you wish to pedal the bike without it
  • Upgraded aluminum step-through frame stands up to the demands of urban use while providing comfortable, stable handling with easy mounts and dismounts
  • Suspension fork soaks up the bumps and jolts of rough urban roads or unpaved trails
  • Shimano Altus rear derailleur quickly shifts through the 7 different pedaling gear combinations; chainguard keeps clothes tidy and out of the drivetrain
  • Tektro disc brakes supply smooth, dependable deceleration
  • Kenda K Series puncture-resistant tires and self-sealing tubes ensure solid protection against flats
  • Suspension seatpost and Velo Sport gel saddle with springs keep your rear end supported and comfortable; angle-adjustable stem offers a precise fit
  • Rear rack and fenders are included for excellent utility right out of the box; integrated kickstand keeps bike upright for parking and storing convenience
  • Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.
