Structural Safety
To ensure the durability and strength of our bikes, we subject our bikes to harsher tests than the standard
requirement.
-
Velotric bikes are tested to- Carry 440 lbs loads >2x the standard- Crashed into 10 mm high obstacles- At 20 mph 25% faster- 300,000 times 3x the standard
-
Standard bikes are tested to- Carry loads around 155 - 190 lbs- Crashed into 10 mm high obstacles- At 15 mph- 100,000 times
-
The result is that Velotric's bike frames and the components nested within or attached to them retain structural integrity beyond most competitors, and definitely in most wear and tear situations.

Brake Safety
For a superior braking performance, Velotric's motors cut off after the rider stops pedaling. This not only
improves the braking efficiency but also minimizes potential electrical hazards.
Velotric’s motor cutoff is tested at 20 mph and can assure a complete stop under 6.56 ft (2m) upon activating
the brakes.
As one of the most important safety feature, a reliable braking performance is something all Velotric bikes
share.
Waterproofing
E-bike electrical systems must be waterproofed to some degree to ensure safety from the occassional splashes to
heavy rain. Velotric's bikes are all IPX6 and IPX7 rated, which is beyond the
standard IPX4.
Velotric's e-bikes --in addition to UL2849 certification-- have IPX6 and IPX7 rating for the bike
and battery respectively. As such know that our e-bikes are designed to withstand anything from the
rain to a hose down to clean after those grimy rides.

motor safety
E-bike motor safety testing is essential to minimize failures, especially when under stress such as heavy loads
and riding uphill.
Velotric's motor goes through testing which simulate motor stalling 10 times and increasing payload to reach
overload state.
Even under these extreme testing conditions, the motors will never exceed the 392°F despite continuous
stalling nor 284°F despite overload, i.e. the motors will never reach danger levels of operating temperature.
The result? Expect reliable motor operations with your Velotric e-bike.
