So when Velotric rolled out the Summit 2, the only question was whether they would protect a winning formula or rewrite it. They rewrote it. And every change is one the rider actually feels. Watch: Zeus co-founder Milad riding the Velotric Summit 2 in Waterloo, Ontario — motor, tested range, and who it's for. 100 Nm of torque from a redesigned 750W inner-rotor hub motor that peaks at 1,300W — ten more Nm than the Summit 1, on the same kind of climbs where Summit 1 already wasn’t stalling. 801.6 Wh from an LG 21700 pack (up from 705 Wh) — 14% more cold-weather buffer, which in Canadian February is the difference between making it home and ending the ride in a Tim’s parking lot. Shimano CUES 9-speed with an 11–46T cassette replaces the old 8-speed Acera — one more gear, dramatically lower granny gear, smoother shifts under load. RST Vibe air fork with adjustable rebound and full lockout replaces the Summit 1’s hydraulic fork — you now tune the fork to your weight and your surface, not the other way around. Three switchable speed modes from a single button (Velotric’s Class 1/2/3 designations — see the Canadian PAB note below). NFC card unlock, Apple Find My + Android Find Hub (both ecosystems — the Summit 1 was Apple-only), full 500-lumen headlight + integrated turn signals + brake-actuated taillight, full aluminium fenders, kickstand, removable throttle, two water-bottle mounts — all standard, all in the box. Electric Bike Report logged 78.1 miles (125.7 km) in Eco and the fastest climbing time on every test hill they put it on this year — faster than every other eBike they tested in 2026, regardless of type or power rating. Ebike Escape titled their review “The Ultimate Trail and Commuter Hybrid?” and ran the bike through trail, gravel, and city pavement to answer that question. Their conclusion lines up with ours: this is a hybrid hardtail in the same way a Subaru Outback is a hybrid wagon — built for commuting all week, taking the gravel road to the cottage Friday night, and dropping onto light singletrack Saturday morning without ever feeling out of its element.

Financing options explained → ⚡ What's New vs Summit 1 Velotric raised the launch price about $100 USD for everything below. Same DNA, materially better hardware on every axis that affects the ride: Upgrade Summit 1 Summit 2 Peak torque 90 Nm 100 Nm Battery 705.6 Wh Samsung/LG 801.6 Wh LG 21700 (+14%) Drivetrain Shimano Acera 8-speed Shimano CUES 9-speed, 11–46T Front fork 120 mm hydraulic 120 mm RST Vibe air, rebound + lockout Speed modes Default 32 km/h (adj to 45 km/h) 3 modes — one-button switch Tracking Apple Find My only Apple + Android Find Hub + NFC unlock Lights Basic / aftermarket 500-lumen integrated + turn signals + brake light Fenders & kickstand Sold as $79 add-on Standard, in the box If you want the trail-first hardtail with wider 2.6″ tires and a larger 2.8″ display, the Summit 1 is still in our catalogue. Why the Summit 2 Sits in a Category of One Every hybrid eBike under $3,000 makes you choose two of three: commute features, trail capability, or premium tech. Pick commute — you get fenders, lights, and racks but the fork is a 50 mm spring with no damping and the tires are 2.0″ slicks that wash out on the first gravel road. Pick trail — you get a real fork and grippy tires but no fenders, no integrated lights, no rack mounts, and your commute becomes a chore. Pick tech — you get Apple Find My or NFC unlock or a colour display, but the battery is 500 Wh and you’re plugging in every night. The Summit 2 is the first sub-$3,000 hardtail that refuses to make you pick two. The RST Vibe 120 mm air fork is a real air-sprung suspension fork with tuneable air pressure, adjustable rebound damping, and a lockout switch on the crown. On smooth city pavement, flip the lockout and pedal without bob. On gravel, open it up and let it absorb the chatter. On light singletrack, drop the air a few psi and the front wheel tracks roots and rocks the way an actual mountain bike does. Tune it to your weight with a shock pump (anywhere from 100 to 250 lbs) — this is the kind of fork you find on $1,500 mountain bikes, not on hybrid commuters. Kenda 27.5″ × 2.4″ puncture-resistant MTB tires with an aggressive knobby tread roll fast on pavement but bite when the surface turns to crushed limestone or hardpack. They are narrower than the Summit 1’s 2.6″ tires — that’s deliberate. Velotric traded a sliver of off-road float for lower rolling resistance on pavement. Combined with a battery that grew from 705.6 Wh to 801.6 Wh (+14%), the net effect is more usable range on a real commute, not just a bigger spec-sheet number. And then there’s the Shimano CUES 9-speed drivetrain. CUES is Shimano’s newest groupset architecture, designed specifically for eBike torque loads — stronger chain, wider-pitch shifting, smoother under-power gear changes than the old Acera that came on the Summit 1. The 11–46T cassette gives you a low gear that lets you climb a 15-degree grade at walking cadence without dipping into Boost mode, which directly extends battery range on hilly routes. How motor type affects hill performance → Key Features 750W Inner-Rotor Hub / 1,300W Peak / 100 Nm Torque — The inner-rotor architecture runs quieter than a conventional outer-rotor hub and delivers more responsive low-end pull from a standstill. 100 Nm is 10 Nm more than the Summit 1 and roughly 20–25% more than most hybrid hardtails at this price — the difference between needing to drop two gears on a steep grade and just easing off the throttle. Electric Bike Report logged the fastest climb time they recorded all year on their test hill: faster than every full-suspension eMTB, every cargo bike, every commuter they put against the clock in 2026. 48V 16.7Ah / 801.6 Wh LG 21700 Battery — LG’s 21700 format is the same cell architecture used in premium EVs and high-end mountain eBikes — higher energy density, longer cycle life, better cold-weather performance than the older 18650 cells most budget eBikes still use. UL 2271 + UL 2580 certified. IPX7 waterproof (submersion-rated). Removable with key lock and carrying handle. Velotric’s claim is up to 153 km (95 mi) in Eco; Electric Bike Report’s independent test logged 125.7 km (78.1 mi) in Eco Class 2 with a balanced profile and 56.5 km (35.1 mi) at max power. In Canadian winter below –5°C, plan on 25–35% less — still ~90 km Eco / ~40 km Boost. SensorSwap — Cadence + Torque, Switchable — Velotric’s signature feature: toggle between a cadence sensor and a torque sensor from the display or the Velotric app. No hardware change. No app menu safari. Cadence mode kicks in when you spin the pedals — effortless cruising for flat commutes and tired Mondays. Torque mode responds to how hard you push — more natural ride feel, real exercise, and 20–30% better battery efficiency. Most riders end up using torque for daily commutes and cadence for leisure rides. The Summit 2 lets you switch per ride, not per purchase. How pedal assist and throttle work → Pulse Mode — Heart-Rate-Linked Power — Pair a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (chest strap or compatible wrist sensor) and Pulse Mode automatically adjusts the motor assist to keep your heart rate inside a target training zone you set. Want to ride at 130 bpm regardless of terrain? The motor adds power on climbs and pulls back on flats to hold your effort constant. This is genuine fitness-grade ride control — the kind of feature that appears on $5,000+ premium eBikes. RST Vibe 120 mm Air Fork — Adjustable Rebound + Lockout — Air-sprung suspension means you tune the fork to your weight, not the other way around. Adjustable rebound damping controls how fast the fork rebounds after a hit (slower for big hits, faster for trail chatter). The lockout switch on the crown stiffens the fork for smooth pavement so you don’t lose pedalling energy to bob. The 120 mm travel is more than enough for gravel, light singletrack, and pothole absorption — and matches the original Summit 1, just air-tuned now instead of hydraulic. Shimano CUES 9-Speed / 11–46T Cassette / 40T Chainring — CUES is Shimano’s newest eBike-optimised groupset architecture, with chain and shifter engineering designed for torque loads that would chew up a traditional road derailleur. The 11–46T cassette range is enormous: an 11T at the top for high-speed cruising on flats and a 46T granny gear at the bottom for crawling up grades that would stall a 32T-cassette commuter. Compared with the 8-speed Acera on the Summit 1, this is the single biggest mechanical upgrade. Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brakes / 180 mm Rotors — Hydraulic brakes self-adjust as pads wear, maintain stopping power when wet, and require less hand force than mechanical disc brakes. The 180 mm rotors front and rear give you the leverage you need for a 63-lb bike carrying a 200-lb rider down a mountain descent. Reliable, serviceable at any bike shop, and the right brake spec for a 100 Nm motor pulling 27.5″ wheels. Three Switchable Speed Modes (Velotric’s Class 1 / 2 / 3 Designations) — One-button toggle between three speed/assist modes: pedal-assist-only at 32 km/h (Velotric calls this Class 1), pedal-assist + throttle at 32 km/h (Class 2), and pedal-assist at ~46.7 km/h (Class 3). The throttle is removable for jurisdictions that require pedal-assist-only operation. Important Canadian context: the Class 1/2/3 framework is the US classification system. Canada regulates eBikes under the federal Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework (Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations SOR/2000-180): 500W nominal motor max, 32 km/h assisted speed max, pedals required. The Summit 2’s 750W motor exceeds the 500W PAB nominal limit, so the bike is not a federally-classified PAB at any mode setting. In practice, provincial enforcement across Canada is overwhelmingly speed-focused (the 32 km/h limit) rather than wattage-focused, so 750W bikes ridden in the 32 km/h speed mode are commonly used on Canadian roads. Set the bike to the 32 km/h speed mode for street use; the ~46.7 km/h mode is for off-road or private property only. Full Canadian eBike laws by province → NFC Card Unlock — Tap and Ride — Two NFC cards in the box (up to three bindable per bike). Tap the card to the display area and the bike powers on. No phone required. No app login. No Bluetooth handshake delay. In a Canadian January morning with thick gloves on, this is meaningfully faster than fumbling with a phone — and it is the kind of detail that turns the Summit 2 into a bike you actually use every day in winter. Apple Find My + Android Find Hub — Both Ecosystems — A real upgrade over the Summit 1, which only supported Apple. The Summit 2 now reports its location through both Apple’s and Google’s global Bluetooth networks — wherever there is a phone within range (which in urban Canada is everywhere), your bike pings location to your phone. Works even when the bike is powered off. Genuine theft deterrence without a monthly subscription. eBike theft protection → 500-Lumen Integrated Headlight + Turn Signals + Brake Light — A real lighting system, integrated into the bike, powered from the main battery. The 500-lumen headlight is bright enough for unlit Canadian roads in November dark-by-4 PM conditions. The handlebar-mounted turn-signal controls click audibly and show on the display. The taillight illuminates harder when you grab the brake levers — cars behind you see your stop signal the same way they see a brake light on a car. No aftermarket lights to buy. No handlebar clutter. The whole system is engineered together and powered from the bike’s main battery. Full Fenders + Kickstand + Removable Throttle — Standard — The Summit 1 sold fenders as a $79 add-on. The Summit 2 includes them in the box. Aluminium full-coverage front and rear fenders. Aluminium kickstand. A removable trigger throttle for jurisdictions that require pedal-assist-only operation. Two water-bottle mounts in the main frame triangle. Everything you would have bought as an accessory is in the box. UL 2849 + UL 2271 + UL 2580 / IPX6 + IPX7 — The full safety stack. UL 2849 certifies the complete eBike electrical system. UL 2271 certifies the battery pack. UL 2580 certifies the battery cells themselves. IPX6 on the frame (rated for high-pressure water spray — rain, slush, road salt). IPX7 on the battery (submersion-rated). In a Canadian market where budget eBike batteries have caused enough fires to warrant CPSC warnings, this triple stack is the clearest signal that Velotric is not cutting corners on the most expensive and most dangerous component on the bike. 440 lb (200 kg) Total Payload — Inherited from the Summit 1, which already carried more weight than most hardtails in its price range. The Summit 2 holds the same 440 lbs — rider, gear, panniers, and anything strapped to the rack mounts — which take the Velotric Summit 2 Modular Rear Rack we stock. For heavier Canadian riders who get told they are too heavy for most hardtails, or for anyone hauling fishing gear, hunting equipment, or loaded panniers to a campsite, this matters. Best eBikes for heavy riders → Everything Included — No Hidden Costs The Summit 2 arrives ready to ride. Velotric folded everything that used to be an add-on into the box. Box contents: Velotric Summit 2 eBike (3 colours, 2 sizes) 48V 16.7Ah LG 21700 battery (801.6 Wh) — removable, key lock, carrying handle (spare pack available) 48V 3A fast charger (replacement available) RST Vibe 120 mm air-sprung fork — rebound adjustable + lockout Aluminium full-coverage front & rear fenders Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes (180 mm rotors) Shimano CUES 9-speed shifter + derailleur (11–46T cassette) Kenda 27.5″ × 2.4″ puncture-resistant MTB tires 500-lumen integrated LED headlight Integrated rear light with brake-actuated stop light + turn signals Handlebar turn-signal controls with audible click 2.0″ left-mounted full-colour display (replacement available) 2 NFC unlock cards Battery key(s) for the removable battery lock Removable trigger throttle Aluminium kickstand Two water-bottle mounts (main frame triangle) Saddle and grips Platform pedals 🧰 The One Thing Not In The Box Velotric lists the rear rack as optional on the Summit 2 — it is the only piece of commute hardware that does not ship with the bike. If you plan to carry anything, you want it, and you can add it to the same order rather than hunting for it later: Velotric Summit 2 Modular Rear Rack → Velotric’s own part, built for the Summit 2 frame. Rated to 66 lb (30 kg) and MIK HD compatible, so baskets, crates, rack bags, panniers and child seats click on and off without straps or tools. Free Canada-wide shipping, same as the bike. 🔧 Every Genuine Summit 2 Part We Stock Velotric makes five parts for this bike. We now carry all five, at Velotric’s own Canadian prices — so a part you need in two years is a page on this site, not a support ticket with a manufacturer in another country: Modular Rear Rack — MIK HD, 66 lb rated. The one above. Extra Battery Pack — a second 801.6 Wh pack. Carry it charged and the 153 km range question stops being a question. Charger — the one that ships with the bike. A second one lets you charge a spare at home while you ride, or keep one at work. Display — the replacement unit. Displays take the weather and the parking-rack knocks. Battery Cover — Ocean Blue, Galaxy Purple or Glacial Silver. Velotric ships the spare pack without one. What You Should Know (Honest Take) Hardtail only — no rear suspension. The 120 mm air fork absorbs everything the front wheel hits, but seat-transmitted impacts (square-edge potholes, expansion joints, hardpack root sections) still go straight to your lower back. For pavement, gravel, and light singletrack, the hardtail is the right call — lighter, more efficient, more reliable. For aggressive downhill or rocky technical trail riding, the Summit 2 is the wrong bike — look at the Himiway Cobra D7 or the Eunorau Specter-S for full suspension. Canadian PAB context — read this before street use. Canada regulates eBikes under the federal Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB) framework: max 500W nominal motor, max 32 km/h assisted speed, pedals required. The Summit 2’s 750W motor exceeds the 500W PAB nominal limit, so the bike is not a federally-classified PAB regardless of mode setting. The Class 1/2/3 labels on the display are Velotric’s US-system speed-mode designations, not Canadian regulatory categories. In practice, provincial enforcement across Canada is overwhelmingly speed-focused (32 km/h), so 750W bikes ridden in the 32 km/h speed mode are commonly used on Canadian roads — but legally, the bike isn’t a federal PAB. The ~46.7 km/h mode exceeds the federal speed limit and is for off-road or private property only. Provincial rules vary; Quebec has stricter triggers above the PAB limit. Complete Canadian eBike laws by province → 63.3 lb is not light. With fenders, kickstand, pedals, and the battery installed, the Summit 2 weighs 63.3 lbs (28.7 kg). That is normal for a 750W hardtail with an 801 Wh battery and full integrated accessories — but it is worth knowing if you carry the bike up apartment stairs or load it on a bus bike rack. Without the battery (about 8 lbs removable), the bike is closer to 55 lbs. The 2.0″ display is smaller than the Summit 1’s 2.8″ display. Velotric traded display size for an integrated NFC card reader and cleaner cockpit. The smaller screen is still high-brightness, full colour, and angle-adjustable — readable in sunlight — but if you specifically prefer a larger readout, the Summit 1 still has the 2.8″ unit (and is still in our mountain eBike collection). Plastic platform pedals at this price tier. When the rest of the build — fenders, kickstand, fork stanchions, drivetrain — is genuinely premium, the plastic pedals stand out as the one place Velotric cut cost. Common across the industry at every price point. A $30–$50 set of aluminium pinned platform pedals from any bike shop is an obvious day-one upgrade for year-round riding. Assembly takes 30–45 minutes and includes air-fork pressure setup. Multiple reviewers noted that setting fork air pressure to your weight requires a shock pump (small, Show more
