Conquer Any Terrain: Why VELOWAVE’s Full Suspension EBikes Are Built for Adventure
Daisy Ye
This summer, adventure begins where the road ends. VELOWAVE full-suspension EBikes are engineered to conquer every trail—delivering power, comfort, and freedom on demand.
1. “Can an EBike Really Handle Rough Trails and Steep Hills?”
Absolutely—if it’s built with the right suspension and power.
When you’re tackling uneven trails, rocky descents, or root-covered paths, a robust suspension system is non-negotiable. VELOWAVE’s full-suspension EBikes like the Brawny XM and Forest XM are equipped with front and rear air suspension forks offering up to 139mm and 140mm of travel, respectively. Paired with Rockshox rear shocks, these bikes absorb impacts smoothly, keeping you in control and comfortable even on technical terrain. The Brawny XM features a Rockshox RS-MNR-R-C4 rear shock with external rebound adjustment, while the Forest XM offers a similar setup with 133mm frame travel. Both are designed to maintain traction and stability on unpredictable surfaces.
2. “How Far Can I Really Go on One Charge?”
Range anxiety is real—but it shouldn’t hold you back.
With VELOWAVE EBikes, you can explore further without worrying about running out of juice. The Brawny XM and Forest XM both boast a 48V 20Ah LG battery, delivering up to 85 miles on pedal assist (PAS) and 60 miles on throttle-only mode*. Even the more affordable Ranger 3.0 offers up to 90 miles on PAS, thanks to its efficient 48V 15Ah battery and torque-sensing motor. Imagine riding from Vancouver’s Stanley Park to Deep Cove and back—or exploring the rolling hills of Vermont—all on a single charge. With VELOWAVE, long-range adventures are within reach.
*Range tested under specific conditions. Actual range may vary.
3. “Is There Enough Power for Climbing and Acceleration?”
Yes—especially when you need torque, not just top speed.
Steep climbs and quick accelerations demand instant torque. The Brawny XM and Forest XM both feature a 1000W (peak 1200W) motor producing 160Nm of torque. That’s enough power to climb gradients up to 30° without breaking a sweat. The Ranger 3.0, with its 750W (peak 1000W) motor and 85Nm torque, is no slouch either—perfect for moderate off-road and hilly terrain. If you’re into mountain biking or backcountry exploration, the Brawny XM or Forest XM will be your best bet. For lighter trail riding and commuting, the Ranger 3.0 offers a great balance of power and efficiency.
4. “Will It Feel Stable at High Speeds or on Loose Surfaces?”
Stability comes from design, weight distribution, and tire choice.
VELOWAVE EBikes are built with reinforced 6061 aluminum frames and wide, grippy tires. The Brawny XM rolls on 26” x 4.8” fat tires, while the Forest XM uses 27.5” x 2.8” tires—both offering excellent traction on sand, snow, mud, and gravel. Hydraulic disc brakes with cut-off sensors ensure safe stopping power in all conditions. Descending a loose gravel road? The Brawny XM’s fat tires and dual suspension keep you planted. Carving through wet forest trails? The Forest XM’s slightly narrower but still aggressive tread pattern offers confidence and control.
5. “What If I Want to Use It for Commuting Too?”
Versatility is key—and VELOWAVE EBikes deliver.
While built for adventure, models like the Forest XM and Swift M are also sleek and efficient enough for daily use. The Swift M features a mid-drive motor for a natural riding feel and comes with fenders and a rear rack—perfect for urban commuting or grocery runs. The Swift M is for the rider who values agility and elegance in the city but still wants capability for weekend light trails. The Forest XM is for those who prioritize off-road performance but also ride on pavement regularly.
