The Velotric Go 1 is a compact cargo e-bike: a 500W hub (900W peak, 65 Nm), a 691.2Wh battery with up to 55 miles on assist, a 440 lb load rating with a 120 lb rear rack, and four-piston hydraulic brakes, which Velotric lists as a Class 2 at its 20 mph default. No colorway is orderable at Velotric today, so none is orderable here; the GoMad is in stock at $1,999.

Every figure above is Velotric's own published specification for the Go 1, read from www.velotricbike.com/products/velotric-go-1-e-bike?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
$1,699 against a $1,699 list price. Re-checked against Velotric in USD every day.
Stock matched
Every colorway is out of stock right now — all 2 of them (Indigo Gray, Forest). That mirrors Velotric's own availability rather than hiding it: we would rather show you an honest zero than take an order we cannot fill. Email us and we will tell you what we know about the next run.
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 Go 1 is for
Buy it if
- Riders who want the Go 1 specifically and will wait for it to return
- Errand riders who want a 120 lb rack on 20 × 3.0 in tires
Skip it if
- You want to buy today — the GoMad is in stock at $1,999
- You carry heavier loads — the GoMad is rated for 500 lb with a 176 lb rack
The Go 1 in detail
440 lb total, 120 lb on the rack
Velotric rates the Go 1 for 440 lb in total and 120 lb on the rear rack, on CST 20 × 3.0 in tires with full fenders.
500W, 900W peak, 65 Nm
A 500W hub with a 900W peak and 65 Nm, per Velotric, with a cadence sensor and a removable thumb throttle. Velotric quotes a climb of 18% on pedal assist and 14% on the throttle alone.
Four-piston hydraulic discs
Four-piston hydraulic disc brakes and a 60 mm hydraulic fork with lockout, per Velotric, on a frame with a lockable down-tube battery.
20 mph as a Class 2
Velotric lists the Go 1 as a Class 2 at its 20 mph default, and 25 mph when unlocked. Check the rule where you ride before you raise it.
Apple Find My built in
Velotric builds Apple Find My tracking into the Go 1, with a 130 lux headlight and a brake light built into the rear rack.
The honest ledger
Green flags
- Velotric publishes throttle range and pedal-assist range separately — Up to 48 miles on throttle, Up to 55 miles on assist — instead of one blended number that flatters the bike.
Red flags
- No colorway is buyable at Velotric today, so none is buyable here.
What Velotric states about certification
If certification matters to your purchase, ask us and we will confirm this model's certification with Velotric in writing before you order.
Source: this model's own specification sheet on velotricbike.com, read 2026-08-24.
Class, speed and where you can ride
See below
The motor is specified at 500W. The federal low-speed electric bicycle definition at 15 U.S.C. § 2085 tops out at 750W, so this sits below it.
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.

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 Go 1 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
What are the specifications of the Velotric Go 1?
Velotric's specification: a 500W hub (900W peak, 65 Nm); a 48V 14.4Ah, 691.2Wh battery on LG 21700 cells; up to 55 miles on pedal assist and 48 on throttle; 65 lb; a 440 lb load rating with a 120 lb rear rack; CST 20 × 3.0 in tires; four-piston hydraulic disc brakes; 20 mph as a Class 2, 25 mph unlocked.
Has the Velotric Go 1 been discontinued?
Velotric still lists the Go 1 with its full specification, and we will tell you when a colorway is orderable again if you ask us.
Is the Velotric Go 1 UL certified?
Velotric's certification page says most of its e-bikes are UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified. For the Go 1 specifically, ask us and we will confirm with Velotric in writing before you order.
What class of e-bike is the Go 1?
Velotric lists it as a Class 2 at its 20 mph default, and 25 mph unlocked. Above 20 mph it no longer rides as a Class 2, so check the rule where you ride before you unlock it.
Can I still buy the Velotric Go 1?
Not today: no colorway is orderable at Velotric, so none is orderable here. The GoMad is in stock at $1,999.
The bottom line
The Go 1 is a compact cargo bike with a 120 lb rack and four-piston brakes, and it is not orderable today. The GoMad at $1,999, rated for 500 lb with a 176 lb rack, is the cargo Velotric to buy now.
