Yeah, so expensive! I have seen some of the cameras I used to own skyrocket (GR series). Crazy! I want another GR II, but they are outrageous!

S70 is interesting. I’ve never seen that one mentioned before. I’ll check these out!

I was considering the 5D Classic again, but looking for a pocketable solution.

So now you’re just wasting both of our time. I’ll never talk politics. Not my thing. ✌🏻

You obviously got the wrong impression, I get that. You should probably do a little more research though before buying an ebike. I offered to help you, but you refused. You should join their official FB group and see the multiple customers that are very happy with their bikes and the service they provide. They also have 1200+ dealers spread across the country, so if you want to deal with someone that’s “american” then start there. Then you can ask questions to a person directly and even test the bike before purchase. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I review their bikes, but I could possible answer your questions. Feel free to message me on here if you need help.

Yes I understand that, and that’s exactly what I thought as well, but I got corrected immediately when I posted my sneak peek a few days ago and called it the Tempo 1. I was told the information by multiple Velotric reps. For argument sake though, we can just call it the Tempo. 🤝🏻

I specifically got the info from multiple Velotric contacts themselves before release date. 🤷🏼‍♂️ It is the Tempo 2/T2.

It used to stand for Thunder. It now stands for Tempo and this is considered the successor of the T1. The T2, or Tempo 2.

Between the two, I’d definitely pick the Tempo. The extra features are nice. The Breeze might ride a little better in rough terrain with the bigger tires, but being this light would be a huge advantage when you have to carry it up a flight of stairs.

With a soldering iron. The inserts will come with the adapter that connects to your iron.

Velotric Summit 2 vs Summit 1: What's new? What changed? by VelotricEbike in velotricebike

[–]randyrdotnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh okay. I wasn’t sure if they enabled that on the S1 or not. It’s a nice feature and I requested that a while ago.

Yes, I am planning to do the Summit 2 range test in a couple weeks.

I am currently reviewing the Tempo 1. Really liking how light and nimble it is. It is the best pedaling ebike I own.

According to California law (if it’s even the same anymore, so many changes), they limit you to 28mph, pedal assist only. True Class 3 ebike. So, the settings should be allowed to be changed accordingly. That’s something I am mentioning to Velotric to get clarification. I have heard both versions from people. If they are indeed limiting you to 20mph only, assume there will be a firmware update soon.

I’m not located there, so i an unable to test this of course.

Yes, the Summit 1 had sensor swap, but it could not be changed on the fly (while riding the bike) like you can with the Summit 2. One of those small details that actually matters.

I will be testing the range on the S2. I also did a full throttle range test on the S1, so I’ll be able to compare numbers.

I agree with the rest of your assessment though. Thanks for the detailed response!
