Originally made for our 10th anniversary in 2015, the R48 withstood the test of time and is still a very prominent e-bike on bike paths to this day. The R48 is designed for power and comfort. Its 500W brushless motor will take on any steep slope and any headwind while you sit on our very comfortable R48 oversized saddle. Two battery choices will give you up to 110km range.
To go along with the bike’s sleek yet robust frame, the R48 is equipped with a thumb throttle, a front fork Suntour suspension, Tektro hydraulic brakes, a colour LCD console, front and rear fenders and a suspension seat post. Offered in red and titanium.
The Velec R48 was designed for long, comfortable rides. The power of its 48Volt 500W motor will accompany you to face headwinds and steep slopes.
