Velowave Forest XM
Full Suspension. Full Send.
"Trail Ready From the Factory."
The Velowave Forest XM is a 1000W full suspension electric mountain bike built for riders who demand real trail capability without the five figure price tag. With 133mm of rear suspension travel and a dual crown hydraulic fork, this bike absorbs roots, rocks, and drops that would rattle lesser frames to pieces.
A 48V 20Ah Samsung cell battery delivers up to 75 miles of pedal assist range while the 1000W hub motor pushes you up technical climbs with authority. Shimano 10 speed shifting, hydraulic disc brakes, and 27.5" x 2.8" tires give you precise control on every surface. Available in two frame sizes and two colors, the Forest XM fits riders from 5'5" to 6'4".
"133mm of rear travel with a four bar linkage. That is real mountain bike suspension, not a hardtail with a seat post shock. The Velowave Forest XM handles rock gardens and root sections that most electric mountain bikes have no business attempting."
THIS RIDE IS FOR YOU IF...
- You ride singletrack, fire roads, and technical terrain that punishes rigid frames
- You want full suspension performance without spending $4,000 or more
- You need a powerful motor for steep climbs and long backcountry rides
- You prefer a real mountain bike geometry over a commuter frame with knobby tires
BUILT FOR REAL TRAILS
Full Suspension Engineering
The Forest XM uses a four bar linkage suspension with 133mm of rear travel. This is the same suspension architecture found on dedicated downhill bikes, tuned here for all mountain riding. The rear shock absorbs square edge hits while maintaining pedaling efficiency so you do not waste energy bouncing on smooth sections.
Up front, a dual crown hydraulic fork provides matched suspension performance with adjustable preload. Combined with the slack head angle and long wheelbase, the Forest XM electric mountain bike stays planted and predictable when the trail gets steep and rough.
1000W PEAK CLIMBING POWER
Samsung Cell Battery
The 1000W hub motor does not just assist your pedaling. It transforms what trails you can access. Technical climbs that would force you to walk become rideable. Long backcountry loops that would exhaust you become afternoon adventures. The motor delivers smooth, controllable power through five assist levels.
Backing that motor is a 48V 20Ah Samsung cell battery pack. With 960Wh of capacity, the Forest XM long range electric bike delivers up to 75 miles per charge. The battery locks securely into the downtube and removes for convenient indoor charging.
