City riding should feel easy. Not heavy. Not complicated. And definitely not like you’re dragging around a 60-pound machine.
That’s exactly what Velotric Tempo was designed to fix!
Tempo blends the simplicity of a classic bike with the power and intelligence of an electric bike. The result is something surprisingly rare in the category! A lightweight city ebike that feels natural to ride, looks beautiful on the street, and adapts to your lifestyle.
Whether you’re commuting, cruising around town, or squeezing in a workout after work, Tempo makes every ride smoother, smarter, and more enjoyable.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes it different.
A Lightweight Ebike That Still Feels Like a Real Bike
Carry It Like a Backpack. Ride It Like a Road Bike.
At just 39 lbs (34 lbs without the battery), the Tempo is one of the lightest ebikes you'll find at this price. That's the difference between actually using your bike every day and leaving it downstairs because you can't face the stairs.
Toss it in the back of your car. Roll it onto the bus rack. Carry it up to your apartment. The Tempo is light enough that none of those things feel like a chore. And if your battery ever runs out mid-ride? The lightweight frame means pedaling home doesn't feel like pushing a shopping cart uphill.
It Looks Like a Bike. Because It Is One.
No chunky tubing. No exposed wires. No motor bulge that makes strangers ask if you're cheating.
The Tempo's frame is clean and slender, styled after a classic city bike with hidden cable routing, and an integrated rear light tucked into the mudguard. It's the kind of bike you actually want to be seen on.
Ride with your friends who have regular bikes and you'll blend right in. No speed awkwardness. No weird energy. Just a group of people enjoying a ride together.
Go Farther With Power and Performance
60 Miles. One Charge. Take It Anywhere.
The 374Wh battery is fully removable and lockable. It means you can pop it out, bring it inside, and charge it at your desk or kitchen counter. No need to drag the whole bike to an outlet. No worrying about leaving it plugged in outside.
With up to 60 miles of range, most people will only need to charge once or twice a week. That covers commutes, weekend loops, and the occasional "let's just keep riding" moments.
A Motor That Moves You.
The 350W motor (with a 650W peak) delivers 45 Nm of torque. Enough power to handle everyday hills with ease, and still comfortable to pedal even if the battery runs low. And the motor runs whisper-quiet, so you can just enjoy the ride without a constant hum in the background.
And when your legs need a break? Hit the thumb throttle and let the ebike do the work. It's especially handy at intersections, on slight inclines, or at the end of a long day when you just want to coast home. The thumb lever design gives you predictable control, easier and safer than a twist grip.
Grip the Road. Any Road.
The Tempo rolls on multi-terrain gravel tires with deep tread and reinforced side knobs. That means you're not limited to perfect pavement. City streets, park paths, light gravel, damp roads after rain—the tires handle it confidently.
Turn Every Ride Into a Smart Workout
Two Riding Modes. One Simple Switch. (SensorSwap™)
The Tempo gives you a choice most ebikes don't have. You can switch torque sensing or cadence sensing in one click.
Want a smooth, natural ride that responds to how hard you pedal? Use torque mode. Want consistent, predictable assist without thinking about it? Cadence mode's got you. The Tempo lets you decide based on your mood, your route, or how your legs are feeling that day.
Your Workout, Dialed In Automatically. (Pulse Mode™)
Here's where the Tempo does something genuinely new. Pulse Mode™ connects to your heart rate monitor or Garmin watch and uses real-time heart rate data to automatically adjust how much assist the ebike gives you.
Want to stay in your cardio zone? The ebike handles the math. You just ride.
It comes with a high-precision heart rate armband right in the box, so you're ready to go from day one. This matters if you've ever felt like indoor cardio was slowly killing your will to live. With Pulse Mode™, your workout happens outside. Whether you're just getting into fitness or you're training with intent, the system keeps you in the right zone without you having to babysit it.
Smart Technology That Makes Riding Easier
Always Know Where Your Ebike Is.
The Tempo is one of the first ebikes to support both Apple Find My and Android Find Hub (built right in). Your ebike shows up on your phone's map just like your keys or AirPods.
Up to 35 family members can connect the ebike, which makes it genuinely useful for households sharing one ride.
Unlock It With NFC Card. No Keys Required.
NFC unlocking means you can tap a card to unlock the Tempo and go. No fumbling for keys. No worrying about losing them. And since there's no physical lock to pick, it's more secure than a keyed system anyway.
Switch Ebike Classes Instantly.
Riding on a shared bike path? Multi-use trail? City street? Each has different legal speed limits for ebikes. The Tempo lets you switch between Class 1, 2, and 3 with one button press—no app, no settings menu, no hassle. Stay legal wherever you ride, without thinking about it.
Built for Everyday Durability and Safety
The Tempo carries a full IPX6 waterproof rating—meaning it can handle rain, puddles, and the kind of weather that makes you question your life choices. The 500-lumen headlight keeps you visible in fog, rain, or after dark.
And it's UL 2849 certified, which is the gold standard for e-bike electrical safety—a certification most brands don't bother with. It means the battery, motor, and electrical system have been rigorously tested so you're not rolling the dice every time you plug in.
The Bottom Line
The Velotric Tempo is for people who want to actually use an ebike—not just own one. It's light enough to live with, smart enough to train with, good-looking enough to ride anywhere, and reliable enough to trust in any weather.
It doesn't ask you to compromise between performance and style, fitness and fun, or convenience and security. It just delivers all of it, every ride.
