This bike is amazing. I didn’t realize I was getting a different bike than all the videos I’ve seen on YouTube. This bike is an updated version with upgraded features that’s not on the first one. For $1200 you get a bell, front and back fenders, a rear rack, and several other components. This is my second e-bike I’ve owned. My first is a 2016 Radrover which I still own. My Velowave Ranger is really more advanced than my Radrover. The Ranger motor is much more responsive than my Radrover Bafang motor. The Ranger battery life is amazing. I can only get around 20 miles now on my Radrover using mostly the lowest level pedal assist. On my Velowave I have gotten 50 miles using mostly pedal assist with still 20% battery life remaining. Awesome.

I have had my bike for 1 year and a half now and it has been great. The stock mechanical brakes weren’t great so I upgraded them to hydraulic brakes. I have put so many miles on this bike and it is so reliable. I just wish it had a little more torque and had more amp hours but it’s fine. Overall the Velowave ghost is a great bike and I am very glad I purchased it.

Great deal for the money

This is a very early impression of the Spirit ebike. I've been researching ebikes for a year or so and the ones I wanted were in the $1500-2000 range. I wasn't ready to make that kind of investment. When I came across the Velowave Spirit it checked enough boxes for me: light weight so I could bike without the motor if I wanted, a reasonable price, road bike looks with thin tires. It was the lower cost that got me to make the purchase and thankfully the reviews about it were good. It came very well packaged and I was able to put it together in about 20 minutes. I think it's good looking and the green color is very nice. It's clean without a lot of extras and bulk. Even though the motor is small it does a great job for my needs. I have some hills to climb in my area and one long hill with about a 25 degree incline. Using pas 3 I climb it fairly easily using a little pedal effort. It's a surprisingly capable bike and I've been having a lot of fun with it so far.

There's a few issues: the frame came with a couple of noticeable scratches. One on the handlebars and one on the frame. It's not a big deal but it's worth mentioning. The saddle is pretty uncomfortable and after a couple of rides the cushioning started separating from the plastic underneath. I'm planning on replacing the seat anyway but it's not good that it started to fall apart so quickly. The battery is integrated into the down tube which I like a lot but it's not removable. Velowave said they can sell me a replacement battery set when I need one but that I should find a bike shop that can do the actual replacement since it's not an easy project. It would have been nice to have a removable or better designed battery replacement system. I've been struggling to get the front wheel disc to stop rubbing on the brake caliper. I've tried adjusting it a few times and it's improving but I still can't get the brake disc to sit in the middle of the caliper. I'll take the bike to a shop to have it done. The brakes squeak quite a bit but they're still in the first miles so hopefully that will go away eventually. I expected there would be some issues on a $500 ebike like this but for the price I can overlook it.

This bike is a blast to ride and because it's so lightweight it doesn't feel like an ebike. I can maneuver it easily and I'll ride it without the pas at times because of how light it is. The pas integrates really well with pedalling. I ride it mostly on pas 1 or 2 but pas 3 for big hills. I think this is a great ebike for around town transportation and it's a lot of fun.

This is my second Velowave Range step through. This new 2.0 version is well reengineered with some great improvements. The area the rear wheel attaches to on the frame has been reinforced and beefed up. The handle bars also have new bracing attached. The hand grips are absolutely a vast improvement, so much more comfortable and you have better control over the bike. I do not know if any other improvements we made ,if they were they are not visible to me.

The bike is very solid, ride is very comfortable you feel in total control of this bike. The bike ships 80% complete all you have to do is attach the front wheel and handle bars and plug in the wire connectors which are all color coded. The pedals also just screw in and attach simply. You show be able to fully assemble it in a little over an hour.

Battery life is great I can get over 40 miles and still have 30% in reserve. Speeds up to 28mph and very easy to more through the power assist 1-5 and the throttle is great getting started if you are in traffic or need to accelerate quickly. With throttle alone you can ride for some time at 20mph if needed.

I had the occasion to contact customer service on issues not related to this particular bike. Even though no one answers the phone they will immediately return to you a text. They seem to prefer text and e-mail as contact.

I can not say enough good things about customer service, top notch, very responsive and will work to resolve any issue you may have.

Love the bike, a very sweet ride. I am 71 years old and this bike is perfect for me. I live in southern Utah and my city has over 70 miles of paved bike trails. For off roading the possibilities are endless between off road trails and open high desert vistas, red rock trails everywhere.

For the price this bike competes on an even plane with many well known name brands at a much higher price point. You can not go wrong with Velowave, I am very satisfied with the product and their customer service.

Ranger 2.0 Fat Tire All-Terrain Electric Bike

Everything was good once Mini figured out I had to press and hold the power button.
Might want to put that in instructions.
Time difference is a pain and wish I new it.

★★★★★★★★★✩ 9/10 (highly recommend) My rating of the #Velowave Spirit Hybrid #ebike
I love jumping on this bike for a workout or quick trips to ASU. 😍🚴‍♀️
Pros: Lightweight, Stealth, Long Battery Life, Bottle Cage Mount, Instant Acceleration, Easy Assembly, Great Price, Fast Uphill & FUN!
Cons: 16mph Max Assist

The bikes we purchased for Christmas are awesome! Customer service is even better. Thanks Velowave!

I recently received two Ranger step through bikes. I use them to hunt and thus far they have performed well. A friend has a more expensive bike and I see no difference thus far. I highly recommended the upright handlebars, particularly for those who are getting a little “long in the tooth”. My only complaint is battery life. After a tad over 10 miles yesterday I had 35% left. I weigh 205 and hunt flat ground with minimal gear.

Wife loves her new ghost

This is our first experience with an e-bike and so far it’s been great. This was a Christmas gift for my 14 year old and he has ridden it every day. Bike was shipped and packaged very well. Assembly was very easy although I have years if experience assembling toys etc for my now teenage son. Instructions were easy to follow. It’s a solid bike so far and have nothing negative to say about it.

We purchased the Ranger 2.0 step thru and the Pony as well. Both bikes arrived. Packaging was great. Put them together and rode them, absolutly love them. If you are an older person that loves the outdoors these are the way to go.

Vroom and zoom, these bikes have great pep! We’ve had other e-bikes, but none handle as well as our Ranger Step Thru bikes.

Very happy with the product easy to put it together love this bike
Would recommend this to anyone

The bike is overall nice but could use some improvements. The throttle is in an awkward position under the left side handle bar. After a long ride your thumb starts to get tired (if you use the throttle a lot). The screen could be updated and larger, compared to completive brands the screen is small and dated. The thing I like the least is the color description. I purchased a black bike but the color is a very sparkly green/silver color. I even had to call to verify I got the right bike.

We just received our Ranger pass through bikes and were able to take them out for a ride today for a few miles to see how they do. Having never owned an electric bike, but have an e-board and many other engine powered rides, it was kind of surprising how quickly it would get you up to speed. The speed limiting thing is not my favorite, but it seems like pedal assist is the best option anyway since it does help with battery life.
So far so good! The quality seems very good on these bikes, very sturdy and with the taller bars, a very comfortable riding position.

Easy assembly, easy charging, easy riding with the step thru design and it’s built like a tank . Rode 33 miles on my first day , up two very big bridges twice with ease. Excellent purchase and very satisfied. Thank Velowave !

I am a 52 yr old woman who has had an absolute blast on the Velowave Prado S e-bike. In 4 months of use I have riden 1600 miles on it. All e-bikes are on the noisy side and honestly, it's not bad at all. Customer service is top notch. Every time I ride my bike people stop me to compliment how nice my bike is. Honestly, don't hesitate to buy this bike. It's worth its weight in gold!

This bike was easy to assemble, carefully packed, and the components are top notch. My wife is absolutely tickled with it!!

Great bike awesome riding!
We have already put almost 100 miles on this in a couple weeks. We live in very hilly terrain and avg around 20 miles per charge

My husband loves his new bike ..

purshcase another battery pack tht bots onto the water bottle connection such as a 48v 20ah get a dual battery connector and you are not running over 52v and for a long time (you need the offroad controller

I highly recommend this ebike after riding it for going on 2 years now. I have added some personal modifications to make it mine I crank it around 20MPH on average with no problem. I came packaged well and I had it up and running in about 30 minutes. This bike puts a smile on my face every time I get on it.

It’s an amazing electric bike. The experience so far is great. I didn’t like the instruction book. Recomend look the video from YouTube for the assamble. The only part that I’m not happy about, was getting in touch with the company. I had one doubt with the lights(how to turn it on) try to reach on the chat website no luck. I had to send an email, get the respond the next day wich is fine.
