This innovation sets a new benchmark in the category by combining exceptional compactness and lightweight construction with the performance and ride quality of a full-sized e-bike. VELLO BIKE's Bosch HubLine motor delivers up to 45 Nm of torque and 400 watts of peak power, alongside specially developed intelligent sensor technology that includes an integrated incline sensor. These features enable an exceptionally smooth and natural riding experience that adapts seamlessly to varying terrain. This means that riders can enjoy the power and efficiency of a premium e-bike without sacrificing the convenience of a folding design. The patented VELLO diamond frame eliminates the need for a folding hinge in the main frame.
