Velotric Nomad Plus

What the Velotric Nomad Plus is built for

The Velotric Nomad Plus is a fat-tire e-bike whose wide tyres grip on sand, snow, gravel and rough trails.

It has a 750 W motor, 75 Nm of torque and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 691 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 55 miles (88 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Velotric Nomad Plus carries up to 441 lb (200 kg) including the rider and has front suspension.

In the United States the Velotric Nomad Plus sells for $1,899.

Where the Velotric Nomad Plus may be ridden

Velotric Nomad Plus is sold as Class 1 (pedal assist only, up to 20 mph) and Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) under the three-class system most US states use. Riders can switch between classes in the settings, and the class it is ridden in decides where it may go.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit, its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Velotric Nomad Plus safety certification

The brand states that the Velotric Nomad Plus is certified to UL 2271, UL 2580 and UL 2849.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

UL 2580 is the safety standard for batteries used in electric vehicles.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
