    Velotric Discover 1 Plus Step-Through Carry up two sets of stairs?

    I'm sure that if you need to get it up there after a few times of trial and error, you can work out a system and get comfortable with it. Don't let it deter you from doing something, try different methods of holding and gripping the bike as you go up, you'll figure out what works best.

    Velotric Discover 1 Plus Step-Through Carry up two sets of stairs?

    If you were to take the battery out of the bike, I'm guessing it's about 55 lbs, then that would make another trip for the battery though. It all depends how fit you are, I'm sure it would be awkward carrying it up 2 flights of steps, but doable. I own it's little brother the breeze 1 which is...

    Can't Get My New Urtopia Bike to Work

    Quality to me, but maybe not to you. They get me through the day and every ride so far, but everyone has their own level of quality to uphold. Shimano Tektro Zoom Kenda

    Can't Get My New Urtopia Bike to Work

    I bought a Urtopia carbon joy about 2 months ago for my wife and it has been a great bike, no issues at all. My LBS picked up the Urtopia line and carries them in stock, he's had good success with them and selling them fairly well and being problem free. The one we have has 20" wheels and is...

    The Universal Ebike!

    My first ebike was a 20" fat tire bike, loved that thing. Everyone I spoke to said the bigger wheel bikes like the 27'5 and up are more efficient and smarter to be riding around on. So I took everyone's advice an bought one and rode it for several months and it is more efficient and faster, but...

    Where do you keep your bike?

    Mine stay inside my attached garage, I don't store my bikes outside at all. In the garage I have 3 ebikes and 2 analog bikes, and I can still get my small car inside there also, need be.

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    I can only imagine with 8 broken spokes that rear wheel must have been wobbling bad, luckily no one got hurt. Velotric really needs to get this corrected, refusing to fix warranty claims is a recipe for disaster with future return business. I own 2 Velotric bikes and they have been awesome, no...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    I'm in PA and where I live it is a rural setting, no bike lanes or bike infrastructure of any kind. If you visit the larger cities like Philadelphia, Pittsburg, or Reading there are some bike lanes through out. Where I live we have a few rails to trails paved or smooth bike paths, that's it. I...

    I thought I rode a good e-bike until I read this thread, now I feel cheap?:confused:

    When your looking at the rear rack supports from the back, it looks not much difference. But when riding behind and the brake lights are applied there is a good bit of difference. I believe Velotric made this change as a temporary fix, and a better design is in the works for the next Breeze bike...

    It's just a small bend on each side of the bottom of the rear rack support, very subtle but noticeable on the brake lights. I'm going to try and tweak my original one to copy the new design.

    Velotric changed the rear rack bracket design to show more clearance for the brake lights, it's just a small change but apparently they are listening and improving their products. Both bike were bought from the same LBS at the same time, the one I upgraded with a Velotric rear rack and fenders...

    XP Lite 2.0 gearing

    My wife has the XP lite 2.0 and she has no problems pedaling it, we live in a fairly hilly area and she surprised me on the hills and did great. It's all in the pedal assist that makes that bike very capable at moving right along.
