Velotric GoMad
The GoMad is Velotric's utility bike: 802Wh, 85 Nm, 20×4.0 tires and a 500 lb total load rating on a 77 lb frame. Right now Velotric prices the passenger-kit bundles at the same $1,999 as the bike alone — the kit is effectively free — and we match that, so the bundle costs you nothing extra here either.
- 750WMotor · 85 Nm
- 802 WhBattery
- 75 miMfr. PAS range

Every figure above is Velotric's own published specification for the GoMad, read from www.velotricbike.com/products/velotric-gomad-utility-ebike?country=US on 2026-08-24. Manufacturer claims, not Redtail test results — we label them that way rather than dress them up.
Price and availability
Price matched
$1,999 against a $2,283.99 list price. Matched to Velotric in USD and re-checked every day, so you are never paying more here than at the manufacturer.
Stock matched
3 of 3 colorways can ship today — Dark Amber, Obsidian, Sage. We mirror Velotric's live availability, so a color you can add to the cart is a color that exists.
Sold and supported by Redtail
Free shipping on every electric bike within the contiguous United States (lower 48). Redtail is the seller of record, and warranty claims come to us — not to a factory inbox.
Who the GoMad is for
Buy it if
- Carrying people or cargo — 500 lb total is the highest rating in the range
- School runs and grocery runs where a second seat matters
- Riders who want the passenger kit while Velotric is including it at no extra cost
- Stability under load: 20-inch wheels and 4-inch tires keep the center of gravity low
Skip it if
- You want a fast or light bike — 77 lb and 20-inch wheels is an unhurried machine by design
- Your storage is tight; this is a long bike as well as a heavy one
- You want the biggest range — the Summit 2 and Discover M both quote 95 miles
- You never carry anything, in which case you are paying for capability you will not use
The GoMad in detail
500 lb, the highest here
Velotric rates total load at 500 lb — rider, passenger, cargo, rack. That is 60 lb above the Discover 2 and 170 above the Breeze 1. On a utility bike the load rating is the specification that matters most, and this is the range's answer.
The passenger kit is currently free — and we match that
Velotric lists the GoMad, the GoMad + Passenger Kit and the GoMad + Young Passenger Kit all at $1,999, against compare-at prices of $2,178.99 and $2,283.99. In other words the kit is being included at no charge. Our page follows their live pricing daily, so if that promotion ends this page will move with it — and if you are reading this while it holds, take the bundle.
20-inch wheels, and why for cargo
Small wheels put the load lower and shorten the bike. Combined with 4-inch tires you get a machine that stays planted with weight on the back, which is exactly the failure mode that makes some cargo bikes unnerving.
Torque and cadence sensing
Velotric specifies a torque and cadence sensor here, so assist scales with effort. On a loaded bike that is worth more than on an unloaded one — the bike gives you help in proportion to the hill and the cargo rather than in fixed steps.
802Wh, 75 quoted miles
The largest pack Velotric fits, shared with the Summit 2, Nomad 2X and Discover M. On a 77 lb bike carrying cargo, expect the lower end of any quoted figure — weight is what drains a battery.
The honest ledger
Green flags
- Velotric states UL 2849 certification for the complete electrical system, UL 2271 for the battery and UL 2580 for the cells, in this model's own spec sheet.
- Velotric states a Class of “1/2/3” for this model and a rider-selectable speed limit, so the class it runs in is a setting you choose rather than a fixed property of the bike.
- Velotric publishes throttle range and pedal-assist range separately — 50 Miles on throttle, 75 Miles on assist — instead of one blended number that flatters the bike.
- Sensor: Torque and Cadence Sensor. A torque sensor responds to how hard you push rather than merely that you are pedalling.
Red flags
- No certificate document is published for any Velotric model — the UL claims on this page are Velotric's own wording, not a certificate we have read.
What Velotric publishes about certification
Velotric does not publish a certificate document for any model — no certificate number, no issuing laboratory, no PDF, on any of its twenty bike pages. We checked all twenty. What it does publish is the wording below, taken from this model's own specification sheet. We quote it and label it a claim, because that is what it is.
UL 2849 — complete e-bike electrical system
Not establishedVelotric's own specification for this model states: “UL2849 & UL2271”.
UL 2271 — battery pack
Not establishedThe battery row reads: “UL2849 & UL2271”.
UL 2580 — cells
Not establishedThe cell row reads: “Samsung/LG 21700 cell, UL2580 Certified”.
ISO 4210 — bicycle safety
Not establishedVelotric states: “ISO 4210”.
Certificate documents
Not establishedVelotric publishes no certificate document for any model — no certificate number, no issuing laboratory, no PDF, on any of its twenty bike pages. We checked all twenty. The claims above are Velotric's own wording in its spec sheet, and we present them as claims rather than as documents we have read. Velotric's own guidance is to search UL's public certification directory, and we will do that for you in writing on request.
Velotric's own certification page says “most Velotric e-bikes are both UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified”. We do not apply that sentence to this bike: “most” is not “all”, and Recognized and Certified are different UL statuses. What is above is this model's own spec sheet, read 2026-08-24, plus velotricbike.com/pages/ul-certification.
Class, speed and where you can ride
Built to the US three-class framework — the class is a setting you select
Velotric states a Class of “1/2/3” for this model, which means the class it operates in is a setting you select rather than a fixed property of the machine. Velotric ships it at 20 MPH by default and states an adjustable range of 12~28 MPH.
The motor is specified at 750W. The federal low-speed electric bicycle definition at 15 U.S.C. § 2085 tops out at 750W, so this sits at that ceiling rather than above it — which is the reason a bike like this can be ridden as a Class 1, 2 or 3 e-bike where those classes are recognized.
What the classes mean in practice: Class 1 is pedal-assist only up to 20 mph; Class 2 adds a throttle up to 20 mph; Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28 mph and is the class most often restricted on shared-use paths. Which classes are allowed where is set by your state and often by your city or park district.
We are not going to tell you this bike “is” a Class 3 e-bike, because that depends on how it is set and where you ride it. Tell us your state and we will put the answer in an email you can keep.
We publish a state-by-state e-bike law hub, and if you want your own state answered in writing before you order, ask us and we will put it in an email you can keep.
How to read this spec sheet
Nominal and peak are different numbers
Velotric publishes a nominal motor rating and, on several models, a peak figure alongside it (“750W (1300W Peak Power)”). Nominal is the continuous rating that the federal low-speed electric bicycle definition and state statutes are written against; peak is a short-burst ceiling. When you compare against a brand that quotes only peak, you are not comparing like with like.
Two range figures, not one
Velotric quotes throttle range and pedal-assist range separately rather than blending them into a single flattering number. The assist figure is the higher of the two and assumes you are contributing. Plan around the throttle figure if you intend to use one.
Class is a setting, not a fact about the bike
These bikes ship at a default speed limit and can be adjusted within a stated range. What is legal where you ride depends on that setting and on your state and city — which is why we will not print a class badge and call it done.
Size and fit
Velotric quotes a rider-height range of 5'0'' ~ 6'3'' for the GoMad. If you are near either end of it, send us your inseam and we will tell you honestly whether it will work rather than sell you the wrong frame.

What we counted
Measured by Redtail
We pulled Velotric's entire published catalog on 2026-08-24 — all 125 products and every variant — and counted what could actually be bought that day. Velotric could sell 80 of its own 102 published bike configurations on the pull date — 78%. 6 of its 20 bike models had no buyable colorway at all.
Across the accessory and parts range, 152 of 166 variants were buyable. We mirror that availability daily rather than list a color nobody can ship — which is why some options on this page may be greyed out today and back tomorrow.
Warranty
Buy the bike from Redtail and Redtail handles the claim. Send photos or video of the issue with your order number and we take it from there — we file and manage it rather than sending you to a manufacturer inbox. Velotric also keeps its own customer-service line open to every owner for troubleshooting, for the life of the bike, whoever sold it.
Who covers you
Velotric's warranty states: “Only applicable to United States e-bike purchases from velotricbike.com. Bikes purchased outside the Velotric official website shall contact their original dealer for after-sale service.” Redtail is a dealer, so after-sale service on this bike is Redtail's and the claim comes to us. Velotric adds that “All Velotric bike owners are entitled to contact the Velotric CS Team for troubleshooting service throughout the lifetime of bikes.” — that part is open to every owner, whoever sold the bike.
What Velotric stands behind, on a direct purchase
- 2 years — Electrical — motor, throttle, PAS panel, controller, wiring harness, lights, IOT module, sensor, fingerprint module, FindMy module, charger, display
- 2 years — Battery — designed to retain up to 75% of original capacity over the period
- 1 year — Other essential components — suspension forks, stem, handlebar, headset, brakes (excluding pads), bottom bracket, crankset, pedals, kickstand, rims, hub, freewheel, cassette, derailleur, shifter
- 1 year — Accessories
- Runs from the date of delivery of the original purchase.
The five-year structure tier names T1, T1ST, T1ST Plus, Breeze, Tempo. The GoMad is not among them.
Velotric publishes three warranty documents, and they disagree
- velotricbike.com/pages/warranty: 5-year structure row naming T1, T1ST, T1ST Plus, Breeze and Tempo; battery 2 years, designed to retain up to 75% of original capacity.
- Velotric support-center policy (updated 2026-08-21): the same structure row narrowed to 'T1 & T1ST only'; battery expressed as 2 years or 'up to 300 charging cycles, whichever occurs first'.
- Velotric owner's manual, p.100 (PDF deposit copy held): a flat 2-year term whose Covered Components include frame, forks and brake — no 5-year tier at all.
We quote all three and present none as governing, because Velotric has not said which one wins. It matters less than it looks here — your cover is Redtail's — but you should know the manufacturer's own documents are not consistent.
What is excluded
- Consumables and wear parts — tires, tubes, brake pads, cables and housing, grips, chain, spokes, bearings, free hub bodies, sprockets
- Paint and graphics; suspension forks and suspension parts are excluded from the frame definition
- Third-party components such as drivetrain, brakes or suspension — refer to that manufacturer
- Improper assembly, crash, neglect, improper repair or maintenance, corrosion
Velotric's warranty terms as published at www.velotricbike.com/pages/warranty, read 2026-08-24. Reproduced as context for what the manufacturer stands behind on a direct purchase; your cover is Redtail's. First owner / original purchaser only. Subsequent owners are not covered, though Velotric invites them to contact its CS team.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Velotric GoMad passenger kit really free?
At the time this page was last checked, yes. Velotric prices the GoMad, GoMad + Passenger Kit and GoMad + Young Passenger Kit identically at $1,999, against compare-at prices of $2,178.99 and $2,283.99. We price-match Velotric daily, so this page follows whatever they actually charge — if the promotion ends, the price here changes with it.
How much can the Velotric GoMad carry?
Velotric rates total load at 500 lb including the rider — the highest figure in its range. The Nomad 2X is next at 560 lb total but is not set up for passengers in the same way.
Can the GoMad carry a child?
Velotric sells both a Passenger Kit and a Young Passenger Kit for it, which is what the bundle variants on this page are. Ages, weights and fitting are Velotric's specification — tell us the rider's age and weight and we will confirm the right kit with Velotric in writing before you order.
Is the GoMad a Class 3 e-bike?
Velotric states a Class of 1/2/3, so the class is a setting, with a 20 mph default and a 12–28 mph adjustable range. Whether Class 3 is permitted where you ride depends on your state and city — and with a passenger aboard, local rules on carrying passengers apply too. Ask us and we will answer in writing.
Is the Velotric GoMad UL certified?
Velotric states UL 2849, UL 2271 for the battery, UL 2580 for the cells and ISO 4210 in this model's own spec sheet. No certificate document is published for any Velotric model, so those are the manufacturer's claims and we present them as claims.
How heavy is the GoMad?
77 lb before any cargo or passenger kit. Plan your rack and your storage accordingly — this is a bike you park, not one you carry.
The bottom line
The right bike if you actually need to carry people or things, and currently the best value in the range because Velotric is throwing in a passenger kit worth up to $285. Five hundred pounds of load rating, torque sensing and a low, stable 20-inch platform is a properly designed utility bike rather than a commuter with a rack. Take the bundle while the pricing holds.
