Originally created to celebrate Velec's 10th anniversary in 2015, the R48 has proven to be a timeless bike that still occupies a lot of space on bike paths to this day. The R48 is designed as a powerful and comfortable electric bike. Its 500W brushless motor will allow you to climb any hill and face any headwind while comfortably seated on the oversized R48 saddle. Two battery choices allow you to achieve up to 110km of range.

To accompany its robust frame, the R48 is equipped with a thumb throttle, a front suspension fork, Tektro hydraulic brakes, a color LCD console, front and rear fenders, and a suspension seat post. Available in red and titanium.
