I took my Velotric Summit 1 ebike to the Pacific Northwest and did a range test along with some single track mountain bike trails. This Velotric Summit 1 review will show you real world range expectations as well as a fun a little adventure around Tacoma Washington which is just a bit south from Seattle.
✅ My #1 Favorite Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't preparred to drop $2k today:

✅ My Favorite "Cheap" and Legal 26" x 4" Fat Ebike (Think of this ebike is the Ford F150 of ebikes: popular, reliable, big, strong, not as polished as a G-Wagon but it can do 95% the same thing at a fraction of the price)

Cruising through my home town. Love the views. I ride my wired freedom through Pr. defiance all the time. I live right above Pt Ruston. Cool to see, glad you did a vid in a new town.
How does the wired freedom do on technical trails like this? In relation to a eMtb, it doesn't seem as nimble.
FIRST! Will be my very first e-bike ever this coming winter!
Perfect step up over my Apollo Go electric scooter in every way, shape and form!
This is awesome seeing you come up north. Definitely ride more cities.
26:13 would've been fatal for an electric scooter!
Happened to somebody already!
Perfect reason for me to upgrade to this bike this coming winter!
I love your comedic commentary and reviews.😊
Great video! Would love to see more vids of you biking in different cities/locations.
bro tailhappytv and I both have gt500s and ebikes, this guy is the coolest
Great to see you out in my neck of the woods!
Would love to see more new city/place exploration!
Very cool!
Great video. I've always enjoyed mountain biking and singletrack at home. Even though it's not gilly here it gets windy. My fat tire ebike has been amazing at helping with both and bringing more enjoyment. Honestly the best way I describe it to people is it makes riding a bike feeling like when you were a little kid again
The most prominent memory from your stay there, is there's no' stop signs'. Lol
great video like always. I live in the PNW also and we have some great places to ride. No so much fun in the winter time since is does get really cold. Glad you had fun.
more vids like this! epic! thanks for sharing. looked super fun!
Definitely be cool to see what your trails were like over there! All I watch for really is love the ride around video's! I've got my emtb bosch full suspension 7k bike so these are not my kinda bikes but the video's are awesome!
Yes,let's see more videos like this😊
Woah interesting seeing Matt in my neck of the woods
Welcome to the PNW!!! Looking forward to using your promotion code to get this bike soon!
Awesome video. Need more like this.
Great video! More road trips!
Great video! Very entertaining.
DUDE!!! that's your first time on single track? Nice job. fun, isn't it?
Great video.
I’m from SEA, would often bike/trail run at Point Defiance in Tacoma. Recently moved to Nashville; enjoyed this little trip home
P.S. roadtrip with my eMTB in an old VW bus for the move; explored every city I stopped in by ebike, it was great fun!
Great video man this was different
The deer is hungry. They Thinking you might feed em'
And now you are a mountain biker 😜
"Oh deer"
@maximumchargeEV
The funny thing is no squirrels crossed him trying to delete themselves while he was in the woods 😆
More other town videos, yay.
This is perfect for me. I really don"t want to hit a tree at 25 mph.
I like these traveling videos. You should do more. You could probably write off all the expenses on your taxes as well. 😅
0:51 these types of intersections without any signs or traffic lights are fairly common where I'm from and you just give priority to the vehicles that are on the right. You also learn in driving school how to handle different situations like multiple vehicles all going in different directions etc.
Why not just make a 4 way....
You are now a mountain biker! Welcome. I'm a mountain biker who watched your spin bike videos. subsequently purchased a used sunny spin bike that I love. I also have a passion for E Bikes. E-bikes are the absolute best! Cool video.
Dude. It's not his first bicycle ride.
grinn
your in a city, just not LA :)
Tac has some great things to do & see. [about 400 miles from here]
for some more fun rides,hikes,views, go out the peninsula & the farther out the better it gets.
Sequim, Port townsend, Port Angleous on up to the park area & Be wowed on hurricane ridge!
look one way & mt Olympus w/glaciers - look North into Canada [Victoria - I have family there]
and when you go to Victoria? take an ebike as there are some super things to do & see around there too.
LA has some fun stuff, But in the PNW there is a different range of things to do & see.
uh Stop signs? we dont need those on every street. some ppl are nice & know how to yield :)
Funny to hear how foreign non-city life is for you. 😂Glad you’re on a working vacation 😮.
When there are no stop signs or traffic lights at an intersection, the vehicle to your right has the right of way....Yes, it's dangerous....Hoboken NJ use to be like that back in the 70s and 80s.
Careful, those deer can have your arm off in one bite! ahhahaaa.
Matt, thanks for the ride! Why didn't you ride a Wired Freedom? AND I grew up playing in the areas you're riding in this video, YOU DIDN'T GO TO FORT NISQUALLY? You should have gone there!
Living in Pacific Palisades at the beach has IT'S advantages, but Washington State is beautiful!:)
Ride some WA State islands!:)
Have fun up there!
Wife to the Rescue!!
Good it's a 15x110mm boost through axel can get good set suspension forks on it later if need be! I've seen this bike on these trails with a friend and these shocks stuck down into the tyre completely failed so be carful! They do say not for trail riding or something but it was similar fireworks n 2ft jump the gave way on! He did get a new bike out it and they took it back to see what went wrong so they upheld the warranty!
Its intended to be a hybrid bike with an MTB chasis and wheels for excellent handling.
Perfect for rough urban commuting involving plenty of potholes, bumps and bunny hopping off sidewalk curbs if necessary, not for off-road trail bombing!
Its powered by a hub drive motor for a reason...
unfortunately flashing modes on tail light only work when headlight is on as well. i guess its for night mode only
another one bites the dust !...come save me....
Now that you are a big time TH-camr 😊why not buy that 1.4 million ocean front property?
Haha too bad they are 10x that
I have a Tacoma guitar !
More cities
I put a mid drive on my mountain bike . Something this simplistic should not be expensive.
What's with these brake cut off sensors they are on that baffang motor to not a thing we have on emtbs likes bosch etc that would be a hindrance for sure!
Matt, uncontrolled intersections, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. FYI....
I love my summit 1, but I've noticed the throttle drastically drains the battery in no time, I'm talking 5 miles on the throttle will eat up 50%
& Tacoma is a dangerous city! Like a 1 in 12 chance of being the victim of a property crime and thats just the reported statistics
21:55 hmmm. I wonder why 🧐
crazy, they didn't accetp cash at the kiosk.
Is there still the tacoma aroma?
Definitely would like to see other places. So sick of L.A. content. Not just from you but it seems like everyone and their brother does content in L.A.
Next time use a mid-drive. 🙂
I have a nomad 1, discover 1 and discover 2. I also have an aventon level and an aventon pace.
I can say with confidence my velotric discover 2 is my favorite bike by far. I have over 3k miles on it already. Just an all around phenomenal bike. I do wish the boost mode was a bit more powerful, but I get they want to get as many miles on a battery as possible. But the nomad absolutely rips... Boost mode on discover 2 should feel like the nomad.
your elevation changes were actually less numerous and less drastic than where I live. Not sure why my city has such fucked up hills rofl.
Skate park and bike= recipe for disaster.🤣🤣
STOP CALLING THIS A MOUNTAIN BIKE FFS
The one guy who broke his fork after four small jumps got a reply from Velotric admitting this is 'more of a trekking bike'.
IT IS NOT A FFIN MOUNTAINBIKE.
ha ha I see your point and agree :)
the city folk have a different definition of whats a mountain lol
some go across a lawn and call it off road [yup kind a funny - I smile]
my ebikes advertised as off road too, but thats a flat landers POV ;)
it does a grassy flat filed "ok" so to them, that is off road :o
for city trails [like in this vid] are ok for these ebikes, just dont jump dem roots, rock as the ebike just isnt designed for real trails.
But in its purposed path it does well :)
be a good ebike for park roads n trails.
just dont jump a curb and your ebike will be fine.
there are ebikes that "can" do that, just research before you buy.
My next [well additional] ebike will be for mountain roads & some trails [within reason]
IMO an ebike just hast been made that will go where my dirt bikes take me, Im aware of that.
and one day I will find it :)
until then . . .
I walk or ride the ATV or dirt bike [Ive not skills to be a real mtn biker] it sure is fun to watch those that can do that tho.
Its a hybrid bike with an MTB chassis and wheels for excellent handling in rough urban environments, especially in snowy and slippery conditions.
Perfect for dealing with plenty of potholes, bumps and occasionally bunny hopping off sidewalk curbs if necessary, not for off-road trail bombing!
The hub drive motor should give gullible people a clue...
@@bellyacres7846 Ow yeah this is an excellent commuter bike, it will handle potholes a bit better then having no suspension at all. And yeah, you got wide tires so you should have some grip 'off road'.
But even a real mountainbike from decades ago with it's measly 80-100mm travel and 'narrow' 2.05 - 2.20 tires, will not break if I take it on trail right now.
I'm so sick of the deceptive marketing, it's like taking some sedan, take the rear doors off call it a sportscar kind of thing. No, this doesn't have the parts to call it a mountainbike.
In fact I would call it even a dangerous misrepresentation. The factory supplied brakes are great... for commute and XC use... on not to heavy bikes. Not knocking on those mt200's I have them to, great XC brakes. But for a bike weighing as heavy as that, and calling it a mountainbike... I wouldn't want to do a downhill section, I know those brakes will start to fade real quick.
If people want a capable real and affordable emtb, buy a Polygon T6 slap a tsdz8 and a framepack on it. Boom, capable real mountainbike with real reliable not going to break and have manufacturers claim 'ow it's not a real mountainbike, sorry' ... and with the DIY motor you get way more power with a much better delivery... this thing has a freaking hub motor ffs, mountainbikes do not have hub motors PERIOD.
