velowavebike

Husband & I purchased the Prado S ebikes & really enjoying them especially when RVing. Bikes get lots of positive attention. Really nice sturdy construction with fat tires. Had positive experience with Velowave customer service for replacement part. Highly recommend to others!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be Lee Majors from the Six Million Dollar Man? Well the Prado S from Velowave delivers.
1. Ordering was smooth
2. Delivery was spot on 4 days from Cali to Wi
3. Customer Service responded in a timely manner, same day
4. Packaging was spot on
5. Putting the bike together while watching the Velowave videos was simple. 1.5 hours for a mechanically inclined individual. Paper direction came with the bike but I like the videos better. It is a personal preference.
6. The add on items like baggage racks fit like a glove. Less than 10 minutes to install.
7. Other bling that I added came thru Amazon and also installed quickly and a nice match. Everything complimented the bike.
8. Easy ride, for a 50 year old with bad knees, and only on level 2 of five
9. I’m buying another soon for my wife.

Reason for buying:
1. Top line motor
2. All specs maxed out the Wi state laws for a bike
3. Hydraulic shock
4. Disc brakes
5. Beautiful welds
6. Aluminum Frame
7. Fat 4” tires
8. Walk thru design
9. Just an awesome looking bike
10. As advertised. 40 plus miles before first charge.

Bike arrived on time and easy to assemble. No rear light and loud tire noise.

It was so easy to set up and get started. My wife and I both now each have a Velowave. Got her the Rover and I have the Ranger. She Got on it and loved every second of it. Smooth ride and so fast! The step through and it's so comfortable and love the fat tire feel. We can't wait to go around town showing off the coolest things on 2 wheels! So happy we decided to get them!

This bike was beautifully packaged, easy to assemble (if you have some experience with bikes) and made with quality parts.
We have been riding the bike for a week now with no issues.
I own other ebikes and the Prado S is a very good bike. Happy with the purchase.

Overall this bike is an excellent value. One would be hard pressed at the writing of this review to find a bike with these features at this price point. The battery size tires, wheels and fork are all very nice. However, you may want to upgrade a few items. The Seat is not very comfortable. I would have preferred a more unisex shaped seat. The throttle is pretty much on or off and overall lacks a dynamic range that one might find on a more expensive set up. The bike has a forward leaning position, which I did not care for, but this was easily remedied by replacing the handle bar stem with a a shorter one. The motor lacks torque in comparison to a 85nm or greater and much more expensive motor. Again, for the price this is still a good buy. The gearing of transmission is more akin to a road/adventure bike and I found myself wishing for a lower gear to get steep inclines. The brakes are my least favorite part of this bike set up and needed quite a bit of adjusting to be safe. I'm still undecided as to whether I will upgrade the brakes as of yet, but have been considering it.

This is really amazing bike also I think I’m invest my money to right place, so soft and smooth ride , charge capability is so good

I've worked in bike shops, and have a good grasp on bike mechanics. I bought two of these bikes for my kids. One child is a teen and the fit is well. The other is 11, and is a bit too short for the bike. He does know how to ride e bikes, and is getting comfortable as I closely watch him for his safety.
The bikes seem well built, and are well packaged for shipment. Getting them out of their boxes seems to be easiest done by cutting the box bottom and lifting the box up over the contents. I chose the other route and struggled to pull the bikes out through the top of the box. This isn't fun when you're alone and trying to minimize chips or scratches to the bike.
Setup was easy, although I've built several hundred bikes out of the box. The bikes included tools, but I would be suspect of the tri-sided allenwrench. The size isn't true, and will strip out your hex headed bolts if you torque them too much.
The bike includes a headlight which is a nice bonus. Adding a flashing red tail light would have been a better addition for safety, but I'll keep the headlight.
Front fork suspension is OK. My 100lb child is compressing the fork about 50% on all around rides without any real off road riding. I haven't messed with the front fork, but it is a no name with limited adjustment. My guess is my 200lb body would easily bottom out the fork if I wanted to play on the trails.
The brakes are cable/mechanical accuated disc brakes with 180mm discs. They seem to work well with the weight of the rider. The brakes on both bikes have a grinding sensation and a squeal, and I hope this will dissipate as the brakes are broken in. The brakes are cable actuated, and the cables stretched a lot while I was building the bikes. If you don't know how to adjust these brakes, please visit a bike shop to have them brakes adjusted after the cables stretch.
Charging of the batteries was simple.
The frame is large enough to add a water bottle cage with easy access.
The power lags a bit, but is predictable when engaged. The bikes are fun to ride and bring a whole new dimension to mountain biking.

I got this bike about 2 weeks ago. I'm 52 and live in Utah and have always been very athletic but had some major health issues issues the last few years. I started feeling better and wanted to get back into riding and hiking. After all, I live at the mouth of one of the most scenic canyons in the state. That said, I wanted something that I could do the work on, but also would assist me when I couldn't... This bike does all that and too my surprise it also allows me to kick back and just feel the wind on my face and refresh (and maybe pedal a few more miles) when I use the throttle! It's awesome! So that's my take... Just make sure you fill those tires up if your riding on the road (seriously... for steering safety). Enjoy!!!

Just received my Velowave Ranger E Bike and I couldn’t be happier. Way Phatt. Easy to assemble. If you can’t assemble the bike you shouldn’t be allowed to drive an automobile. Really it is pretty much assembled when you get it, very little assembly. Smooth ride. The seat is very comfortable. The derailer is perfectly installed and will not twist into a pretzel as a couple reviewers reported, that must have been a rare fluke. Well built with nice frame welds. I own a pickup because I own a boat and need to haul the boat, last time I filled it with gas it cost me 120$., that is nothing short of highway robbery. Not paying that to drive a pickup to work. Love my work commute on my Velowave Ranger, it is a beautiful thing. Love this bike! Well designed and built. Great quality. A Phatt cat. Get you one!
