The Velowave Prado S is a city e-bike on 20 inch fat tires: a geared hub motor in the rear wheel, rated 750W with a 1275W peak and 55 N.m of torque, and a removable 48V 15Ah battery of LG cells, 720Wh. Velowave quotes an average of 40 miles on pedal assist and 23 on the throttle.
A thumb throttle and a cadence sensor run the motor, with up to 25 MPH on pedal assist and 20 MPH on the throttle. Kenda 20 x 4.0 inch fat tires, a hydraulic suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes on 180mm rotors and a Shimano 7 speed handle the daily run. It weighs 77.2 lb with the battery and carries 330 lb.
A rear rack built into the frame, fenders and swept back bars come fitted, and a 10W LED headlight comes in the box. One size, an 18.9 inch frame, fits riders from 5'5" to 6'5". Want bigger 26 inch fat tires and 28 MPH on pedal assist? That is the Rover Step-Thru.
Built to be lived with
A 6061 aluminium frame with a removable battery, internal cable routing and the rear rack built into the frame, a hydraulic suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes on 180mm rotors, a Shimano 7 speed with a long cage derailleur, 160mm alloy cranks on a 52 tooth chainring, and Kenda 20 x 4.0 inch fat tires on aluminium wheels.
Fenders, a colour display, swept back bars, a wide comfort saddle, alloy platform pedals and a side kickstand all come on the bike, and a 10W LED headlight comes in the box. Velowave covers the frame and electronics for two years, the battery for two years or 300 charge cycles, and mechanical parts for one.
Swept back bars bring the grips toward you for an upright, comfortable posture, the way Velowave built the Prado S for commuters. A widened, enlarged saddle and a hydraulic suspension fork take the sting out of rough city streets.
Kenda 20 x 4.0 inch fat tires add cushion on broken pavement, the 750W geared hub makes 55 N.m of torque, and the thumb throttle gives you power without pedalling. Velowave quotes up to 25 MPH on pedal assist and 20 MPH on the throttle.

The rear rack is part of the frame, so there is a place for a bag or a box from day one, and the fenders keep mud and dirt off you and the bike. A 48V 10W LED headlight lights the way home.
The 48V 15Ah LG battery comes out of the frame to charge indoors. Velowave quotes an average of 40 miles on pedal assist and 23 on the throttle, calculated for a 165 lb rider; hills, wind and cold bring that down.

Velowave quotes an average of 40 miles on pedal assist, up to 40 in level 1, and 23 miles on the throttle alone, calculated for a 165 lb rider. Hills, headwind, cold, a heavier load and more throttle all bring it down.
Yes, a thumb throttle. Velowave quotes up to 25 MPH with pedal assist and 20 MPH on the throttle. E-bike rules vary by state and by path, so check where you ride.
The Prado S comes in one size, an 18.9 inch frame on 20 inch wheels, and Velowave fits it to riders from 5'5" to 6'5". The seat adjusts from 840mm to 1050mm.
Yes. The rear rack is built into the frame and the fenders come fitted. Velowave does not publish a load rating for the rack, so treat it as a place for a bag or a box rather than a passenger seat.
Velowave lists 77.2 lb with the battery and a 330 lb payload. The 48V 15Ah battery weighs 7.7 lb and comes out of the frame, so you can carry it inside to charge.
Velowave covers the frame and the electronics (motor, controller, display, charger and throttle) for two years, the battery for two years or 300 charge cycles, whichever comes first, and mechanical parts for one year, against manufacturing defects. We are an authorized dealer, so it applies.
