The Importance of Comfort in Bike Design
Ever tried riding a mechanical bull and expected a leisurely jaunt? Neither have we. Ever hopped on a bike hoping for a leisurely jaunt, but it feels more like a mechanical bull? Yeah- we've been there too.
At Velotric, we believe that riding a bike should be nothing like that wild ride. That's why we've taken the bull by the horns and developed ComfortMax. With these design principles, the bumps are smoothed out, the jolts are softened, and what's left is just you, the road, and an exceptionally smooth experience that makes you forget you're still on solid ground. And trust us—you'll want to read to the end because we have an exciting surprise that take your comfort to new heights.
For many of us, comfort isn't a luxury; it's an absolute must-have. This is particularly true when the difference between a good ride and a great one can hinge on how a bike feels beneath you.
Our Velo Insider, Martin K., knows this all too well.
It was a dark and stormy night—really, it was—when Martin decided an Ebike would be the perfect milestone marker for his upcoming 70th birthday. After a lightning bolt of inspiration (and maybe a little actual lightning), he was at his local dealership, where it was love at first test ride with the Discover 1 Plus step-through model. The bike's low-step frame offered effortless mounting, the wide cushioned seat provided unparalleled comfort, and the swept-back handlebars allowed for a relaxed riding posture. The smooth ride and immediate comfort made his decision an easy one and the Discover 1 Plus quickly became a staple of his daily routine.
Fast forward to April 2024, Martin faced major heart surgery. With his surgeon's nod (a fellow cycling enthusiast), he gradually remounted his Velotric and eventually upgraded to the
Discover 2. The Discover 2 offered even more with its powerful 750W motor, an even wider seat for enhanced comfort, and an adjustable stem to perfect his posture. Its upright position and nimble handling were key to his recovery, helping him rebuild endurance without overtaxing his heart.
ComfortMax: Where Comfort Meets Clever Design
Stories like Martin's -- where a new bike doesn't just mean a new mode of transport but a new sense of freedom -- inspire us deeply. That's why we developed ComfortMax as our core design principle - to help all our customers feel just as great as Martin, enjoying the utmost comfort when riding.

ComfortMax Features Across Our Models
Get ready to pedal into the sunset—or at least to the coffee shop—with the wind in your hair and a smile on your face. That's the ComfortMax guarantee: Making every ride not just bearable, but downright delightful.
From the drawing board to the street, each of our models is thoughtfully designed around ComfortMax philosophy—a design principle where we selectively equip each bike with the most suitable features to maximize comfort and enhance performance. See how our top models implement the ComfortMax philosophy to align with your lifestyle.
Fold 1: Small in size but big on adventure, the Fold 1 is ready to go wherever life takes you, whether that's a commute to the office or a spontaneous road trip. Its foldable design means you can easily tuck it away in car trunks, under train seats, or inside low storage spaces, making it ideal for mixed-mode travel. Unlike other folding bikes that might make you feel restrained, the Fold 1's frame is designed to allow you to stretch your body as freely as possible. The upright riding position and low step-through frame are engineered for ease, allowing you to mount and dismount with comfort and grace. It's the ideal choice for those who value convenience and comfort in one smart, portable package.
Discover 1 Plus and Discover 2: As Martin can attest, the Discover 1 Plus transforms challenging rides into smooth journeys. With its suspension system that practically makes bumps disappear (now if only it could do the same for traffic), redefines what it means to ride in comfort. The adjustable stem lets you tailor the bike's ergonomics to fit your body perfectly, enhancing comfort on longer rides. Additionally, the hydraulic disc brakes provide superior stopping power, giving you control and safety during your rides. The Discover 2 offers even more ComfortMax features. This model boasts a wider, cushioned seat for unparalleled comfort, cruise control to maintain steady speeds effortlessly, and a deeper step-through frame for effortless mounting and dismounting. These models prove that comfort can indeed coexist with performance.
Nomad 1 Plus: For those who refuse to let rough terrain rain on their parade, the Nomad 1 Plus is the all-terrain champ. This robust model features an advanced suspension system and an adjustable stem, enabling fine-tuning for optimal comfort regardless of the terrain. The fat tires not only provide extra stability but also enhance grip on slippery or rough surfaces, from muddy trails to snowy paths. Built to support heavier riders, the Nomad 1 Plus doesn't just handle the great outdoors; it makes the outdoors great.
