Thanks for including Velec in your reviews Cort. A year into my Velec R48M, I can say the bike has definitely met my expectation for a comfortable-mileage (my ass gives out before the battery does), responsive bike. (180 lb rider, usually level 1/2 assistance, live in Vail, CO - valley flat...

For the record, my USAA homeowners policy covers replacement less the deductible. They recommend keeping a receipt for purchase to verify the cost of the bike. In addition, the liability portion of the policy and the umbrella policy covers personal liability. Can't speak for other...

Thanks! Velec is based in Montreal, but I beleive the bikes are sourced in China, I used "made" inaccurately. oops. Older models (three) have the battery behind the seatpost, newer ones (five) embedded in the downtube. Seem to be nicely featured; I'm most interested in any user...

I'm new to ebikes, and looking at a Velec, made in Canada and sold in CA and the US. Anyone have experience with these?

Hi Cort - John here, Vail CO - I'm new to Ebikes, but having tried out a few, I think there's one in my future! I'm interested in a Velec , but, sadly, missing in your very informative reviews one of a bike of that brand. I'm sure you've heard it before, but your site it invalueable to ebike...
