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.
The Importance of Comfort in Ebike Design
At Velotric, we believe that riding a ebike 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 ebike doesn't just mean a new mode of transport but a new sense of freedom -- inspire us deeply. When we say riding should feel better, we mean it. ComfortMax™ is our comfort-first engineering system designed into every Velotric electric bike. From your first push-off to the way your body settles into the ride, ComfortMax™ helps you start easier, sit naturally, and cruise smoothly — exactly what riders expect from a comfortable ebike built for everyday use.
What is ComfortMax™?
A signature comfort system, engineered into every bike. Our comfort system is developed directly into each Velotric model — not as an afterthought. The goal is simple: give riders a more natural, upright riding posture and reduce pressure points so every electric bike ride feels steady, relaxed, and easy to enjoy.
Whether you're commuting through the city or heading out for a longer weekend ride, ComfortMax™ supports your body where it matters most, making every Velotric model a true comfort electric bike option.
Design Elements of ComfortMax™
Comfy Mount: Easily get on and off — smooth starts, effortless stops.
A deeper low step-through makes the bike easier to mount and dismount, especially in stop-and-go environments. By reinforcing the frame where it counts, we maintain strength without adding unnecessary weight — helping riders of all ages feel more confident at every start and stop.
Engineering Highlights
- Lower step height reduces strain on the knees
- Reinforced frame structure keeps the bike stable while mounting
- Ideal for daily commuting and relaxed city riding
Comfy Posture: A tailored upright position that keeps you relaxed.
ComfortMax™ supports a natural, upright position that reduces pressure on your back, shoulders, and wrists. This riding posture is one of the most important parts of any comfortable electric bike, and it’s built into every Velotric frame.
Engineering Highlights
- Cruiser-style handlebars keep wrists in a neutral position
- Adjustable stem lets you fine-tune height and reach
- Balanced rider triangle keeps your weight centered
The result: riding feels lighter, easier, and far less tiring — even on longer routes.
