How fast does the Velowave Rover Step-Thru go?

The 750W motor gives a top speed of up to 28 MPH. That is at the high end for a fat-tire e-bike and may exceed local limits for some paths.

What is the real range per charge?

Velowave rates the 48V 15Ah battery at 50+ miles per charge. Expect less if you rely on the throttle, climb hills or carry cargo.

Is the battery removable?

Yes. The Samsung battery is integrated into the frame and removable, so you can charge it off the bike.

Who is the step-thru frame for?

It suits riders who want easy mounting and dismounting, including shorter riders and anyone carrying gear. It does not require swinging a leg over a high top tube.

What kind of terrain can it handle?

The 26 x 4.0-inch puncture-resistant fat tires and hydraulic disc brakes make it suited to pavement, gravel, dirt trails and sand.

How does it compare with a standard commuter e-bike?

It is heavier and bulkier but far more stable and comfortable on rough ground, with a stronger motor and wider tires than most commuter models.

About the Velowave Rover Step-Thru All Terrain Electric Bike

The Velowave Rover Step-Thru is a fat tire electric bike with a low-step aluminum frame. The step-thru design makes it easier to get on and off and gives an upright riding position. It has a 750W geared hub motor and a 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery that removes from the bike.

The 26" x 4.0" puncture-resistant fat tires add grip and absorb shock on sand, snow, gravel and other surfaces. A front suspension fork with hydraulic lockout smooths out bumps on uneven terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes handle stopping.

A backlit LCD display shows speed, battery level, pedal assist mode and mileage. A Shimano 7-speed drivetrain handles gearing. The bike can reach a top speed of up to 28 MPH and a range of 35 to 50+ miles per charge, depending on terrain and assist level.
