Vello Bike+ | Lightest Electric Folding Bike | Video Review

[@donjr.m]

This bike is exactly what I’m looking for.... unfortunately, the price isn’t.

[@eh1702]

15mph is the limit because that’s the European legal limit. Above that you have to pass your road test for a moped and wear a crash helmet. Usually European ebikes concentrate on using the rest of the battery power to keep up torque.

[@kjm-ch7jc]

Nice bike, but no lights, fenders and how do you service the hub with new batteries.

[@Norcalflat]

Sad to hear NYCe closed down. Anyone know what happened? I bought a couple bikes from them a few years ago and they were great to deal with.

[@Mark_135]

Sad to hear.

[@snazpizaz7706]

Hope you get to review the other Vello models - also maybe any negatives ??

[@siaseeds8950]

motor and battery are in the same piece. If one of them breaks down you WILL pay a pretty penny to replace both.

[@GustavoM90]

So let’s say u ride the bike for 2 hours pretty hard in the plus charging mode can you get the battery charged up at least like at 75 percent or something

[@telepresence]

I was ready to buy and then you guys went out of business. Now there is no where in the US to get this bike.

[@davidsonshine9678]

Nice video, Connor!

[@nycewheels]

Thanks David!

[@christmasisawesome9348]

Your calves should have their own channel

[@bluepawn]

is there original fenders and original rear and front led lights ? how can we take the batteries out to charge it at home or in a restaurant ? where can we buy it in Europe or Switzerland ? Thanks for your great review but miss all those details.

[@nycewheels]

The bike does have integrated lights. We're a US dealer so we do not have information about how to purchase in your country. The batteries cannot be taken out to charge separately since they are integrated in the motor.

[@jsurfin1]

Hi Connor, nice video. Gonna be in NY in a week's time. Do you have the bike available in store cuz I don't see it on the NYCe website.

[@gavrielpapas773]

I love the bike and I would need mudguards, but unfortunately I don't have 3.8k$ for it.,😔

[@fatguy2697]

Hello question do u guys still do the set up for the Brompton to make them electric.. And how do we order them. And are you working in another store at this time. I know nyce..on 58th street shut down :( u guys were great

[@Lynekin]

Easy to install, works well

[@tnzet4025]

How long the battery gonna last before need to replace?

[@twistoffat]

in fairness at that price I´d expect titanium or carbon fibre. As to no lighter bike? Have you seen thew Hummingbird bike, okay ts price is heavier but....

[@justinmagnolia3886]

I paid for this bicycle on October 10, 2016 and still have not received it!

[@AlanJames]

Did you ever get your bike?

[@jieli731]

With that tiny battery and slow top speed, might as well get one Qicycle to ride and another one for backup, and save 2000 dollars.

[@nycewheels]

You'll need 2 more Quicycle's eventually when they break down beyond repair after a year ;) You get what you pay for, top quality/design/service does come at a price.

[@canadianroot]

NYCeWheels Can you support that claim with data on their failure rate and customer dissatisfaction? Sure, the Vello looks great, but it is ungodly steep.

[@kengruz669]

You lost me at "your phone becomes your display." No way I would want to depend on my phone to ride the bike or change options.

[@oliveralonso2173]

Can you use it without pedaling?

[@anthonyofarrell513]

No, in Europe no pedal bikes are classified as motorbikes

[@naqiongtradingllpnaqiongtr8035]

how much ?

[@agungnopriansah]

I clicked bcoz "lightest folding electric", and then i saw 3.8k. it became "heavier" somehow, like a lot!

[@First_Principals]

The way it folds is too complicated it should be simplified.

[@nycewheels]

It's actually very quick and easy once you get the hang of it. We found that it's even easier to just undo the front fork hinges and fold the back and front wheels at the same time.

[@LawAbidingCitizen117]

Yeah, but the mini velo style looks much nicer compared to other foldies like Dahon's or Tern's.

[@andersongianini8825]

So confuse for folding.

[@nycewheels]

There's a good trick to doing it more quickly, but we wanted to break down every step. If you loosen the fork up first, then release the rear frame, you can bring both wheels down together at the same time and do the seatpost afterwards.

[@tarawhite986]

great product, but who wants to pay that for a bike.. please develop a bike that is $500. That is what an average person would want for an ebike, unless they're rich

[@Norcalflat]

That price is unrealistic for an ebike, that would barely cover the battery cells needed to make an ebike with a decent usable range. Maybe with ebike gaining popularity combines with new battery technology(Tesla has some new cells in the works that would be great if they deliver as promised, and it trickles down to ebikes). Even looking at ebikes in the low $1000s you will see they are lacking on features, and the components they use are garbage. I would be scared to ride something of that quality at 20+ mph.

[@mannydom3162]

In the market there are many ebikes of 500 bucks and even less, pf course made in China and weigh twice as much ;-)

[@holyshit2709]

These prices leave me blank...

[@s.bruyere8496]

Enventually try to buy a replacement car mirror to relativize! ;)

[@profitglen]

There is no way in hell that an electric bike with 250-watt motor, 15 MPH top speed, and 30-mile range is worth $3800.

[@TikkanenP]

It seems that this electric motor is expensive. This bike has the same system - and the same price tag... aoicycle.com/online-shop/classic/pedelec/

[@NoZenith]

I'm not even going to research the titanium versions price 😆

[@fender1000100]

You are clueless. Electric bikes usually weight 40lbs plus. This is a miracle. A bike that can be ridden as fast as any bike with some upgrades. And you can go electric on hills if you want a rest.

[@haamishmcgarry]

Can I win one? I'm in Australia

[@marcingp5]

Battery in engine ? WHATS ?

[@nycewheels]

Fancy eh?

[@gavrielpapas773]

Yeah, it must be miniaturized; but if it gives a range of 30 miles and 15 mph then who cares? And most importantly it's lightweight.

[@nikolsan15]

Lost me at $3,799. Good looking bike but I’m not willing to pay that much for it I might as well buy a used car.

[@nycewheels]

Sure, you can also buy really nice lawn mowers, televisions, and sound systems for that price too, but they also have nothing to do with bikes. We offer plenty of other products at more affordable prices, but this is top of the line in terms of frame construction and components.

[@tarawhite986]

@@nycewheels please make a $500 option. People would love it

[@jomaresalagan6412]

Hi

[@sweetchange7273]

Not crazy about the folding / look / style / For that price I expected a OH WOW ! But instead it looks thin,and flimsy all in the name of Light Weight. Just my opinion.

[@goldberg1174]

nah 😜

[@PhantomPanic]

$3,800? 😂😆😂😆😂😭

[@DocJones2020]

That bike is way overpriced!!!

[@redlkb]

Worst folding system I've ever seen

[@letterandtomato]

Best folding system yet! I have one and is easier than a brompton.
