UPDATE on 9/7/24 - Velotric updated the controller firmware (version v078). Happy to say that they have made a huge improvement in the power delivery, particularly on hills. I can now very much recommend the bike.

[@user-op2vt1ke1j]

I got mine yesterday and yes I feel the hesitation in pulling hills , I prefer a mid drive feel instead

[@EMTBReview]

Exactly my experience. Mid drive is definitely better on hills.

[@tomolryify]

@@EMTBReview While I don't disagree that mids are generally better on hills - I have a hub drive Aventon Aventure that currently puts the Summit to shame on hills in pedal assist. Like you, I find myself using the throttle on the Summit more than I would like. Not sure they will be able to fix with firmware alone.

What budget dropper post do you recommend for this bike? Thanks… Like your vids!

[@CloverMind]

Excellent relevant review from someone very knowledgable.

[@EMTBReview]

Glad it was helpful! That is music to my ears.

[@benitezjosem30]

Wondering if you can do a review on Super Human Bikes Weapon or F5 Trail?

[@EMTBReview]

I'll be on the lookout for these.

[@jeanmarc_in_Hudson]

Nice review! Are you allowed class 2 e-bikes on the local trails?

[@EMTBReview]

Usually not as Class 1 is the common allowed emtb on trail networks. Fire roads and private property or small dirt path systems are best for Class 2-3.

[@stevenjennings233]

Nobody is policing trails to check your class, not sure why ppl think this???

[@russgordon5399]

On the video it sounds really loud on ascent.

[@ebaake]

I thought it sounded loud on the video too. I just got this bike a week ago and haven't noticed it being this loud in person on inclines.

Velotric Customer Service does not recommend that mods or changes be made to the Summit 1 bike. They will not advise as to any changes and will void their warranty if the customer makes any mods or changes . Velotric Customer service takes forever to resolve even the smallest warranty claims and ships parts by the slowest methods possible. I would not buy products made by Velotric. The bike is not dropper-post ready and they contract out their customer service, so you do not speak with a real Velotric employee and they are not helpful
