    Great review, thanks Micah! EBikes For Good is a great initiative and we're glad that the Nomad 1 here is going to a good home and get some proper use. Good luck to everyone joining the giveaway!

    How kind of you to give bikes to others who could really use one. I hope you find all honest people. You’ll be rewarded for your kindness, many times over!

    I have owned my Nomad for awhile now and Love It! I have a Mango Step-Thru. I love the bright color! People can see me a lot easier.

    Don't let them push you around, I like the Yellow too!!!! :) I also like the top loading of the battery. I use to think that the bottom was better because water would be less likely to collect, but a friend had his bottom battery fall out which caused him to have a really bad accident. He hit the ground hard and ended up with a broken collarbone.

    Pro tip: since you don't need to really carry an all-in-one tool like someone going on a long bike ride, a great way to save your wrists and time would be to get a cheap electric screwdriver and a bit set that includes at least 3, 4, and 5mm hex bits.

    Bright colours are the way to go. I'd also advocate for marine solas rated reflective tape too.

    @saber1able ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I like the fact that the price of Ebikes is coming down, although still a bit over my budget. I wouldn't normally buy a yellow bike but this one actually looks really good with the yellow/black color scheme.

  • @singlespeed2760

  • @EBikeBuilder_
    @EBikeBuilder_ ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Seems like a good value, i Like the yellow. I think the 'fake mid drive boxes' are becoming popular because downtubes with internal batteries are so chunky. Seems like its easier to build and more structurally sound with the fake mid drive box. I'm not a big fan of that look either but theres a reason they do it i suppose

  • @Doc1855
    @Doc1855 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought an electric assisted bike last year. We live 5 miles from town (down the mountain). We live so far from town that we have to drive to the post office and pick up my 85 year old dad’s medicine.
    We bought the bike so I can ride it into town but need assistance coming home.
    Some of the “S” curves are blind so I have to change into oncoming lane to stay safe.

  • @mikemathis3936
    @mikemathis3936 ปีที่แล้ว

    The festive Mango color does make the bike seem a little happier than a bike wearing dour colors. One aesthetic that I kind of enjoy on that bike is how they have stylized the stem to look very sleek . So much so that until you tightened the headset I thought that they were using threaded forks. Most threadless headset bikes still tend to look more industrial and chunky above the headset than the Nomad does.
    Im not a fan of the way they made the seat tube in the shape of an Alsace wine bottle though. It just looks like there would be less engagement with the seat post than I want to see or think about.

    Velotric has a policy of not posting negative reviews on its website. However, I purchased two bikes and left a one-star review for my purchased. After that, Velotric sent me an email stating that they reserve the right to select which reviews to post and which ones not to post. Thus, it is important for buyers to be aware of this policy.

  • @DesuVR
    @DesuVR ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Something that slightly bugs me, why do pretty much all ebike makers mount the headlight on the lower part of the suspension where there's the most amount of vibrations? Why not mount it to the upper part where most impacts are dampended out? I've been dealing with my 'upgraded' headlight coming loose because of how heavy it is so little things like the mounting location have become more apparent to me.

  • @tubaman66
    @tubaman66 ปีที่แล้ว

    The older of us here in the UK might call that colour 'corporation yellow' as it's pretty much the colour that a lot of public utility vehicles used to be. I think it's a great colour by the way.

  • @bellyacres7846
    @bellyacres7846 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    hey I actually prefer the brighter color.
    my bikes have been black od the last bike is dark green/black and it can be hard to find when left by the trail as walking is often a way to step out there to see the lake, river or whats under that tree over there?
    Ive actually lost my bike a couple times and required a bit of looking to find it again. lol

  • @Stryford1
    @Stryford1 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There are many other e-bikes that are less expensive that are class 3 (28 mph) bikes so I don't understand what Velotric is afraid of. Maybe there's a code to unlock the higher top speed? Either way, it's a good looking bike and it's nice that it has hydraulic brakes.

    • @deansmits006
      @deansmits006 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, 25mph is odd. Not much difference in safety, I doubt that it would add that much more wear and tear to drivetrain components. Considering the size of the bike and it's a "dual-sport" style, maybe they don't think customers will hit that door much anyway?

  • @ursanbear
    @ursanbear ปีที่แล้ว

    Between this and the Fucare Libra, which would you prefer? I'm looking to get my first ebike and I've narrowed it down to these two. I have the double whammy of an auto accident several years ago and a hip injury repairing said car. An ebike seems to be the best way for me to get out and see the nature sites around my home.

    • @EbikeSchool
      @EbikeSchool  ปีที่แล้ว

      They def prefer two different environments. For city riding the Fucare Libra is probably better. If you do more off-road riding, then the 26” tires and better pedaling geometry make the Nomad better, in my opinion.
