Living off campus a few miles out?
Tempo's the lightest way to make that commute a non-issue — no insurance, no gas, no parking permit.
Living off campus has its perks. Your own space. A little more freedom. Until an early class turns a few miles into a daily transportation problem.
Walking means leaving much earlier. Driving means paying for more than the car itself — and a parking permit doesn't always put you anywhere near your lecture hall.
If most of your day happens within a few miles of campus, you may not need to buy a car to make it all work. You need a ride that fits your routine.
That's where Velotric Tempo comes in →
Keep the freedom. Skip the car payment.
A car takes a cut of your student budget every month — even before you drive anywhere. Then come the gas stops, campus parking fees, and maintenance bills.
If your daily commute is bikeable, choosing Tempo instead of buying a car means no car payment, no gas, and no expensive campus parking. Routine bike maintenance costs less, too — no oil changes or engine servicing to budget for.
Those savings keep adding up throughout the semester, leaving more room for rent, groceries, and weekend plans. You still get the freedom to head to class or meet friends on your own schedule — with fewer bills attached.
Make the ride to class the easy part.
An uphill commute with a full backpack shouldn't leave you worn out before your first lecture. Tempo's 350W motor and 45Nm of torque give your pedaling a helpful boost, making hills and everyday campus trips easier to take in stride. With pedal assistance up to 28 mph where permitted, it can also help you cover longer stretches between your apartment and campus.
With up to 60 miles of pedal-assist range on a single charge, shorter commutes can mean several days of riding between charges. There's room to plan for the ride to class and a grocery stop on the way home.
Light enough to make everyday life easier.
A lighter ebike makes a difference even when you're not riding. From a few steps outside a campus building to the stairs up to your apartment, Tempo is easier to lift and carry when your route calls for it.
At 39 lbs with the battery, or 34 lbs with it removed, Tempo means less weight to manage when navigating stairs, lifting it onto a bike rack, or moving it into storage.
The removable battery makes charging more convenient, too. Leave your bike securely parked and bring the battery to a permitted indoor charging area — no need to carry the whole bike upstairs just to reach an outlet.
It's everyday convenience you'll appreciate long after the ride ends.
Fits in on campus. Ready for everyday weather.
Tempo has the slim frame and clean lines of a regular bike, so it fits naturally into campus life. Its quiet motor keeps the electric assistance discreet — you can enjoy the extra help without feeling like you're announcing it every time you ride past.
Parking your bike outside class or the library for a few hours is easier when you're not just hoping it's still there. Tempo works with Apple Find My and Google's Find Hub, so you can check its last known location right from your phone.
When you're ready to go, skip digging for keys. With IPX6 water resistance for the bike and an IPX7-rated battery, a passing shower doesn't have to derail your commute. Easy to blend in, easier to keep track of, and ready for the everyday trip to class.
Back to school, with a little more left in your budget.
