We've spent countless hours designing and testing our T1 series bikes to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance, convenience, and safety. This is the first time we're using a torque PAS sensor and developed our Smart+ Hub system, which is packed with IoT sensors, making T1 our first ever 'smart' bike—complete with smartphone features. Eric Xiao, Co-Founder and Head of R&D

T1 is powered by the brand's E35+ system and operates in conjunction with a smartphone companion app to control a multitude of intelligent features, including automatic Bluetooth or fingerprint unlocking, and real-time tracking of riding data. It also works with Smart+ Hub, which ensures anti-theft protection via GPS tracking. Meanwhile, T1 ST is powered by the brand's E35 system and works with the Apple® Find My™ network to prevent bike loss.

The E-series drive system features an inner rotor 12.6:1 high reduction ratio motor that delivers a max torque of 45Nm and a top speed of 20 mph. The compact system battery uses 36V 9.8 Ah 21700 Samsung cells (one of the most reputable battery manufacturers in the industry) and is UL2271 Recognized and delivers a max range of 70 miles on T1 and 52 miles on T1 ST. The torque sensor mirrors the rider's power input through the pedals, ensuring a smooth ride and conserving energy. The system also features a proprietary algorithm that records charging data and sends reminders to users.


At Velotric, we believe that every ride is an adventure waiting to happen. With our T1 series, we're providing riders with a sleek and versatile way to explore the city and discover new routes. Our e-bikes are not only smart and intuitive, but they're also fun to ride and perfect for anyone looking to experience the joy of cycling in a whole new way.
