[@AmayaMilton]

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.

[@maschwerer]

Juiced Bikes also selects which reviews to post online. Mine didn’t make it as a fairly critical review.

[@anooseholay]

That being said, a lot of reviews on KZbin have been quite positive at this price level.

[@antonioiniguez1615]

[@sunnydays3476]

Hill test difference was really surprising. I didn't consider that although a bike may go fast, it's not something you should consider doing often as it'll drain your battery. Thanks for that. I didn't consider that. Very important. I'd rather have longer range. Therefore, top speed becomes less important decision making factor. Your videos are incredible!!! Thanks for much for your expertise

[@verbal]

I'm considering getting my first e-bike and have narrowed it down to Adventure 2 and NOMAD 1. Your video is very helpful. Now it comes down to test driving both.

[@TailHappyTV]

Nice! Glad this helped. Don’t wanna mess ya up, but I’ve got something coming soon that might have you considering a third test ride to your list.

[@Nick-hz8wx]

@@TailHappyTV What was the 3rd?

[@blackburgundy1659]

​@Nick-hz8wx comsidering the similar price tags of both, the third choice was probably the radpower bikes

[@diffizzle3072]

So did you end up getting one of them? Which one and how happy are you with the purchase?

[@gurjitsingh1243]

Watch fusion bike review on this channel i really like that it got so much torque

[@jackmiller5147]

Nice comparison. I would like to add though that the Nomad 1 can be "unlocked" to achieve Class 3 capabilities, including 28 mph and greater. Velotric does not "push" this feature but if you contact them they will give you the code.

[@TailHappyTV]

good point!

[@mawarco7399]

When I contacted him they said only 25 mph. Is that just what they had to say?

[@iStemjay]

Looking forward to your review of the Aventon Aventure 2

[@robertyoungs6360]

I don't know about the cadence sensor, but my Aventure.2 with the torque sensor is amazing for instant power. As soon as I start to pedal the power is there. It feels like it could pull the bike from under me because it grabs and moves so fast.

[@TomWinKC]

Riding an ebike with a torque sensor is a much more responsive experience and feels similar to riding a conventional bicycle. It is a smoother ride and more subtle when the motor engages. Therefore, torque sensors make a great option for those who enjoy and are used to the feeling of conventional cycling. It is the perfect transition from a traditional bike to an electric bike. Those who are regularly riding in hilly areas will immediately notice the benefits of an ebike with a torque sensor. On an incline, a torque-sensing ebike will automatically provide more assistance as you pedal harder and level out once you get to flat terrain. Alternatively, if you are going downhill, it may not provide any assistance. As a result, ebikes with torque sensors are much more efficient, have extended battery ranges and only deliver power when needed.

[@TailHappyTV]

I love torque sensors

[@jh338117]

Hi Matt, awsome review thanks for your hard work.👍👍

[@TailHappyTV]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@AmayaMilton]

Velotricbike It seems that this bike is not suitable for shorter individuals. I purchased the bike that is recommended for Rider Heights between 5’1” and 6’4”. Unfortunately, my wife and I, who are respectively 5'1" and 5'2", have to hop off the seat every time we come to a stop, which is uncomfortable and inconvenient. I tried to return the bike, but Velotricbike wants to keep $200 plus 20% of the purchase price, which is not a fair deal for me. Additionally, I have to pay for shipping, which only adds to the problem.

[@spartancaptain5691]

I am thinking about getting the velotric nomad 1 plus. Would you say this is a decent ebike?

[@southernebiking]

Really good job on the comparison. Much appreciated.

[@TailHappyTV]

glad you enjoyed! thank you

[@user-jl4rk6oz8u]

Have you actually tested the Aventon Aventure.2? Would love to know your thoughts as to where you think it stacks up among the myriad fat tire offerings out there.

[@MrPerrisC]

I got the velotric discover, there's a "butt" over-all nice, disappointed no handlebar adjustment, I mean, if you're gonna raise a seat you need to be able to raise handlebars, like what are they thinking?

[@mellight9705]

Do you still recommend the Nomad 1 as your favorite. Love your reviews.

[@jefflawford1832]

Good comparison, but you really need to review the Aventon Adventure 2.

[@MichaelSmalleyMPA]

Does the display shown on the Nomad 1come with the bike or is that a phone or other device you've added, if so, what is it? TYIA

[@ShadowPupGaming]

Do you plan to review the Aventure 2 anytime soon? Would love to see how it stacks up against the 1

[@intothebreak571]

Hey great videos. What color is the nomad? Also the is there a difference in strength with the step through versus step over? I would guess so but that big down tube gusset seems beefy enough? Can you explain if the strength is the only rational concern with step through or is that just old thinking not as applicable with the designs of these?

[@saltiest_ocean1839]

I was wondering if you had any information on customizability? I'm considering the nomad due to how hilly my town is, but I'm not a fan of cruiser style bikes. Would it be fairly easy and safe to change out the handle bars on something like the nomad? Or would it be harmful to the electronics?

[@TwoBitTony]

Why haven't you done a full review on the adventure 2!!??

[@JD-vh1qd]

Good review. I think I would like the Nomad

[@hanyuzh]

Nice video. I would like to add that from my little research, the Nomad 1 is IPX6 waterproof and the Aventure is IPX4. If you live in a rainy climate, Nomad 1 is just much better to own than Aventure.

[@mawarco7399]

Hey thanks, great to know. I live in an area with regular rain

[@SS-ln3dg]

The velotric is slower, Aventon is a lot more visually appealing to me, but id personally have to chose Vel for the hill ability

[@jerbsherb4391]

I am curious if that top speed can change if it's unlocked.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Yes.. "Fast kills". Battery goes quick over 25 mph. Good to think about 20 ah plus battery size if you can go 25 plus on your bike, AKA my Kepler. Even 52V and 20 ah seems tiny on a 1,000 watt 35 mph bike. But no fear, you do 15-20 mph and only using bursts of throttle on occasion to cross intersections or getting out of the way of cars speeding up behind you and you can nicely do a 40 mile trip. 👍😎

[@TailHappyTV]

Even on my 72v Sur Ron I usually only go 15-20 with bursts like you mention, despite the massive 72v 38ah battery and it’s max speed of 70mph. Thanks for the comment!
