FAQS
Ordering & Shipping

Product
1. How long does an electric bike battery last?
The lifespan of an electric bike battery typically ranges from 500 to 1,000 charge cycles, which translates to 3 to 5 years of regular use. To extend battery life, it's important to avoid overcharging, avoid letting the battery drain completely each time, and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping the battery charged between 20% and 80% can significantly help maintain its long-term health.
2. How far can I ride on a single electric bike battery charge?
Velowave ebikes typically offer a riding range of 40 to 120 miles per charge, depending on the specific model and battery capacity. The exact mileage can vary based on several factors, including terrain, rider weight, assist level, and even weather conditions. Whether you're commuting across the city or cruising on a weekend trail, Velowave offers options to match your distance needs.
3. What is an electric mountain bike?
An electric mountain bike (often called an e-MTB) is built for trails and rugged terrain, combining a sturdy frame with a motor and battery for extra power and range. If you're looking for a great option, the Velowave Forest XM offers strong performance, long range, and full suspension—perfect for off-road adventures.
4. What are the 3 classes of electric bikes?
Class 1: These bikes provide pedal-assist only, meaning the motor kicks in while you pedal, up to a maximum speed of 20 mph.
Class 2: Similar to Class 1, but these bikes also have a throttle that can power the bike without pedaling, also up to 20 mph.
Class 3: These bikes provide both pedal-assist and throttle, and can go up to 28 mph, making them ideal for faster commuting.
All Velowave bikes, except the Prado S, Pony, Ghost, and Swift, fall under Class 3.
5. Can I ride my e-bike in the rain?
Yes, you can ride your Velowave e-bike in the rain. All Velowave bikes are equipped with IPX6-rated batteries which makes them well-suited for wet weather riding. However, we still recommend avoiding deep puddles and minimizing prolonged exposure to heavy rain. After riding in wet conditions, be sure to dry your bike thoroughly to keep it in top shape.
