Great review, thanks Micah! EBikes For Good is a great initiative and we're glad that the Nomad 1 here is going to a good home and get some proper use. Good luck to everyone joining the giveaway!

[@ggebhard1]

How kind of you to give bikes to others who could really use one. I hope you find all honest people. You’ll be rewarded for your kindness, many times over!

[@Jim.e.Whitten]

I have owned my Nomad for awhile now and Love It! I have a Mango Step-Thru. I love the bright color! People can see me a lot easier.

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

Don't let them push you around, I like the Yellow too!!!! :) I also like the top loading of the battery. I use to think that the bottom was better because water would be less likely to collect, but a friend had his bottom battery fall out which caused him to have a really bad accident. He hit the ground hard and ended up with a broken collarbone.

[@PantherU]

Holy crap I hope he's ok

[@ggebhard1]

I agree, that yellow is sharp! I like your reviews, because they’re quick, honest and to the point! Thanks!!

[@tymill]

Bright colours are the way to go. I'd also advocate for marine solas rated reflective tape too.

[@doningle9352]

Oh man what a beautiful bike! A bright bike is easier for motorists to see, making it inherently safer for its rider!

[@IAMSatisfied]

I agree, of all the bright ebike colors this yellow is perfect. Thanks for the review, Micah!

[@speedstrn]

Pro tip: since you don't need to really carry an all-in-one tool like someone going on a long bike ride, a great way to save your wrists and time would be to get a cheap electric screwdriver and a bit set that includes at least 3, 4, and 5mm hex bits.

[@RidingDirtyAdventures]

I really like this ebike... love the yellow and black combo... this thing is sweet looking.... the UL listing is great to see...

[@GreggPolicari]

Just started watching your videos, pretty extensive on your testing, keep up the good work!

[@Coweyes2069........]

Good review mate like always and great looking bike too....And i like the bright colours myself.......That yellow really pops mate.......

[@singlespeed2760]

Your unboxing videos are always entertaining. Would love see a video of you repacking/reboxing a bike for shipping to the new owner! Nice bike and video.

[@NerainerRidgeway]

Yellow is such a happy colour, i t looks fun and bright! A real advertisement for Ebikes as it stands out. I like your reviews, they’re quick, honest and to the point! Thanks!!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Micah! Thanks for making it.

[@googleuser2170]

Nice to see some affordable e-bikes with style. Clean design, no tacked on looking battery pack, cool colors.

[@newbie101]

Great color and good visibility for safety.

[@kiriakosmelissinas81]

This is a pretty decent one! Nice video. Always look forward to your videos, including chang Li truck videos! The boat was super dope as well 😅

[@BrienDunn]

Yah! Always enjoy your vids and find the information super useful. Wondering what your absolute favorite is nowadays?

[@joannwelch6991]

Love the color.. Like a ray of sunshine ..

[@osomugroso1]

Good job on this review! Yes the color makes that bike pop out!

[@riyamandal5836]

Really like the concept of E-bikes and solar power use, these kind of knowledge will help us to build a sustainable future someday!

[@sebas90250]

Construction zone yellow makes the bike 125% safer

[@VelotricEbike]

🚧💯

[@deansmits006]

Yes. But that's less true in areas with real bike infrastructure. That's a whole other video though

[@saber1able]

I like the fact that the price of Ebikes is coming down, although still a bit over my budget. I wouldn't normally buy a yellow bike but this one actually looks really good with the yellow/black color scheme.

[@wayne-oo]

Love the yellow bike !

[@KD-nj4fj]

really cool bike ! Looks very well built .

[@TurboEverything]

Seems pretty good. I've been looking at these to buy at some point. Definitely cool.

[@Hazdazos]

That's a sharp looking bike and love the color.

[@BretGlissmann]

Always enjoy your videos. Great review.

[@patrickvernae]

Informative quality content as always. I hope you can review the dual motor Vanmoof V when it releases. Thanks for all you do

[@EBikeBuilder_]

Seems like a good value, i Like the yellow. I think the 'fake mid drive boxes' are becoming popular because downtubes with internal batteries are so chunky. Seems like its easier to build and more structurally sound with the fake mid drive box. I'm not a big fan of that look either but theres a reason they do it i suppose

[@SaucySpecial]

I agree with you on the bright colors for bikes

[@GG-ud1ib]

I love the color as well.

[@sspence65]

Very cool! Love that color.

[@gregsmith1116]

Thanks for the Video! Nice Bike. I really like fat tire bikes, but I don't have an e-bike with fat tires. The Velotronic bike seems really good!

[@blautens]

Another great review - I agree with you - more colorful bikes would be nice. I don't need a free ebike, but I'm super impressed you do these giveaways.

[@johnbowser2612]

i LIKE THE yELLOW ALSO same color as my favorite bike growing up. I plan on putting together a e trike eventually to get around town.retired, then had a stroke i could possibly use a step through bike .I still have 1 good leg to supprt myself with

[@BryanLWeier]

I clicked on the link, but only got the "Something went wrong" message on YT... Thank you Micah for your videos, always enjoy seeing the different styles colors and drive trains... L'Chaim

[@turkeyssr]

Great video! It's nice that you're having a give away contest. Thanks!

[@stanschloesser6725]

Cool that you’re giving e-bikes away. Good for you!

[@danjarrett]

That is a very Nice Bike. Thanks for Sharing.

[@einblutwolf5356]

Very cool what you're doing.

[@ranig2848]

Would love to see a new video for entry level (cheap?) ebikes. Your last video is 2 years old and it's very likely many thing have changes (esp considering covid supplies etc). Thank you and Toda! 🙏

[@Xtrafix2015]

It’s a great mango adventure bike, but you read my mind about the awkward controller box in the middle and I love the color and the price is good enough

[@hemaccabe4292]

I like the hydraulic disc brakes, UL battery and front fork.

[@pennyanderniedogplay1628]

Great review! Maybe you could a Vedic on E-bike fat tire for Short 5 ft 2 or below? There are not many options, keep up with the good work!

[@hemaccabe4292]

Lotta nice tools come with the bike.

[@DLRich1]

That is so cool to just give a bike to someone. And a free book. Sweet!

[@sproutdaplanet1518]

I used to have a car that color. I'm so glad bike manufacturers are adding more choices.

[@junaidtariq612]

Seems like a fun bike and I love that 🥭 yellow colorway!

[@josephpiskac2781]

Love the Yellow!

[@chuckles470s9]

Love the color 👍

[@jaybae4770]

This e-bike looks awesome.

[@andreheinz1942]

That's a real sweet bike!

[@kgsalvage6306]

That sure is yellow. I wouldn't mind that at all. I love that you are giving away some Ebikes. I got my fingers crossed.

[@kylepriest6245]

I agree with you about the bikes needing to have colors

[@markreagan5071]

Nice Color....keep giving them away

[@joeminter]

Nice bike, nice color!

[@paulbouldin6677]

I also love that color...is there any way to upgrade the speed limit via programming? Another great video!!

[@Madbika]

Great vid , and also real cool bike the Nomad 😁👍🚴🚴

[@tutoch]

Nice Bike would be great to have to get back and forth from work Great channel

[@MortyFoodReviews]

I love the color of this bike.

[@ImageMaven]

I have to say one of the selling features of my Elby was that it came in orange!

[@hemaccabe4292]

Nice bike, but I’m looking for more of a cargo bike with a mid drive. Love that yellow.

[@michaelbedard7859]

Great color. 100%

[@gobenny3348]

The yellow looks nice

[@jfarmer7]

Great video!

[@Doc1855]

I bought an electric assisted bike last year. We live 5 miles from town (down the mountain). We live so far from town that we have to drive to the post office and pick up my 85 year old dad’s medicine. We bought the bike so I can ride it into town but need assistance coming home. Some of the “S” curves are blind so I have to change into oncoming lane to stay safe.

[@rrich52806]

Nice review

[@LifeandDarknessAura]

I'd probably go for the DIY solar. Interesting stuff. - John G

[@o1ecypher]

i have been waiting for this video for a while ♥ ♥

[@o1ecypher]

Thank you lord

[@brett19890]

Looks great 🍻

[@twokosher]

This is very nice e-bike , love the color 12:56

[@mikemathis3936]

The festive Mango color does make the bike seem a little happier than a bike wearing dour colors. One aesthetic that I kind of enjoy on that bike is how they have stylized the stem to look very sleek . So much so that until you tightened the headset I thought that they were using threaded forks. Most threadless headset bikes still tend to look more industrial and chunky above the headset than the Nomad does. Im not a fan of the way they made the seat tube in the shape of an Alsace wine bottle though. It just looks like there would be less engagement with the seat post than I want to see or think about.

[@jimmyonealandlandon6206]

As alway great review

[@ronrae4029]

Nice touch in giveaways.

[@tonysamples840]

I ALSO LIKE THE COLOR CHOICE.

[@DaarkCloud]

It's beautiful!!! 💛 💛 💛

[@ZERUS1648]

Black bikes are great for eluding zombies. The bright colors scream out, eat me!😂 Thanks for the review.👍🏼

[@ramonpadilla2607]

That yellow looks amazon on that e-bike! The contrast between the black and the yellow, yellow jacket hornet e-bike...

[@hemaccabe4292]

Don't worry about the grounds crew. It's cool.

[@TheFeist77]

congrats ricardo

[@SLIMMY93]

I love the channel!

[@bellyacres7846]

hey I actually prefer the brighter color. my bikes have been black od the last bike is dark green/black and it can be hard to find when left by the trail as walking is often a way to step out there to see the lake, river or whats under that tree over there? Ive actually lost my bike a couple times and required a bit of looking to find it again. lol

[@yehoshua2099]

Can you make a video about how to calculate the range of an electric skatebored?

[@DesuVR]

Something that slightly bugs me, why do pretty much all ebike makers mount the headlight on the lower part of the suspension where there's the most amount of vibrations? Why not mount it to the upper part where most impacts are dampended out? I've been dealing with my 'upgraded' headlight coming loose because of how heavy it is so little things like the mounting location have become more apparent to me.

[@Familyadventure369]

This bikes color is awesome

[@cruzingmax]

I'd ride that bright yellow!

[@mrc1436]

The Velotrics can be turned up to 25 mph in throttle and pedal assist!

[@hemaccabe4292]

They make any of these things not crazy fat tire and with a mid-drive?

[@tubaman66]

The older of us here in the UK might call that colour 'corporation yellow' as it's pretty much the colour that a lot of public utility vehicles used to be. I think it's a great colour by the way.

[@MrMeow-iq7kq]

it looks like caution tape to me.

[@BrandonSmith-ox1pw]

That yellow in that bike looks good but im sure it looks better in person

[@nunofontes3936]

Hello I have a 3000wts 50a controller kit and I have a 72v 100a battery is ok to can i use the battery is it possible to give me this information please thankyou best regards.

[@ursanbear]

Between this and the Fucare Libra, which would you prefer? I'm looking to get my first ebike and I've narrowed it down to these two. I have the double whammy of an auto accident several years ago and a hip injury repairing said car. An ebike seems to be the best way for me to get out and see the nature sites around my home.

[@EbikeSchool]

They def prefer two different environments. For city riding the Fucare Libra is probably better. If you do more off-road riding, then the 26” tires and better pedaling geometry make the Nomad better, in my opinion.

[@MercuryOneOne]

E-bikes for good = Micah is awesome. Very nice!

[@larrycox6614]

Velocity + Electric = Velotric? Love the yellow... like bubble bee transformer 😂😂

[@woodroemitchell2848]

I'm looking for your diy ebike products list

[@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.

[@biredbison]

I like the bike but in my case need step thru. I been watching you and other here on You tube I am trying to save up enough to buy an ebike. I will be 65 in few days being on fixed income its hard yet the bike will be my main wheels to get around. The Car market is beyond affordable for me now. I need a cargo so can get food and other things. Till I got enough funds still exploring all bikes to educate self on them. For me its not the speed like some want I want something with good distance good hill climing cause alot of hills in my small town of 8000. Also hope one that can get me to city and back 20 miles from my home. Thanks for all you do!

[@joshuamcbee6061]

Looking for a mid drive 1000w ebike. Any you recommend from Alibaba
