Velotric Nomad 1 Plus Ebike

My first E-Bike. I have never had so much joy experiencing a new recreation with riding my Velotric Nomad. I have discovered places that l have never visited in our town and village because of the ease of getting around on the Nomad. I have recently retired and now have a whole new reason to get up early and adventure!

My first impression as I removed it from the box was wow its big compared to my previous fat 26" ebike. It was packaged well and delivery was prompt. Assembly was easy enough mostly pre- assembled the instructions and video are good.

I took a test spin without the battery and it peddled fairly easy for being as heavy as it is.

Once the battery was charged it was off to give it a real test. Right away I noticed the power difference compared to my 500 watt bike. The cadance also operates differently than usual in that it it doesn't have a set amount of power per the pass level selected but instead has a a set speed level per pass level. This means for example, if you approach a hill at 12mph. the bike will automatically boost the power to maintain 12mph instead of having to turn to a higher pass level to climb. And this bike likes to climb. It handles thae rough trails well enough but if you want to ride slower than 10mph you'll have to turn to the level to 0 or peddle and coast. It handles a mild single track ok but it's not a corner carver by any means.

Also keep in mind that it has low peddle clearance so be cautious how you lean when cornering. I encountered a peddle scrape on the asphalt while peddling now I make sure the peddle is in the up position if I lean into a turn. And somthing else I would not recommend yanking on the handle bars to jump a curb or obstacle due to the adjustable handle bars. The front end is heavy and you could pull the adjustment loose.
