Great product

Very fun to ride, stable, strong, easy to handle. We went to get blessed for our upcoming season at the old cemetery of Carignan, a 55 km ride. It was very easy, good seat, good pedaling aid...I recommend it ??

Very happy

I have had my R48 now for about 6 weeks maybe 8. It is rugged and a pleasure to ride. The bike is sharp looking and looks substantial. Very happy that I was able to buy an e-bike from a Canadian company. I would highly recommend buying this bike if you are looking for an e-bike.

My parents love them

I gave my elderly parents two R48s given how they were marketed as being "safe". Well, I asked for their opinions and they love how smooth and instinctive the bikes are. My mother loves the idea of exercisizing at her own pace and doing an activity with her husband. Good job Velec

The best

Me and my spouse acquired this type of Velec R48 bike in 2021 and 3200 km later It's the best: autonomy, power and comfort. Today 70 km and still 5 bars out of 5. Who says better....
