Velotric Packer 1 Electric Bike Review - Accessories and Performance
The Velotric Packer 1 stands out for its wide range of included accessories, from a large rear basket to seat cushions and more. But it also delivers solid performance thanks to its 750W motor.
Loaded with Convenient Accessories
The Packer 1 comes with a huge rear basket that can hold up to 176 lbs. It attaches securely to the frame. Seat cushions allow a second rider. A waterproof bag under the seat protects valuables. Dual kickstands provide stability when parked.
Powerful 750W Motor
The 750W motor provides strong acceleration and a top speed of 24 mph when unlocked. It can hit 24 mph in just one city block. The power also enables it to climb 26% grade hills despite the 75 lb weight.
Smooth, Stable Handling
The Packer 1 handles smoothly at high speeds thanks to the road tires and suspension fork. However, balance suffers slightly when riding no-hands. The adjustable stem provides an upright, comfortable riding posture.
Strong Brakes, Decent Suspension
The brakes deliver quick, strong stopping power. The front suspension smooths out bumps well, but the rear is noisy over large impacts. The 8-speed shifter and throttle provide a quality feel.
Impressive Range
A full battery charge delivers a range of up to 22.5 miles when averaging 22 mph. The range can exceed 50 miles with slower speeds. Recharging the battery takes around 4 to 6 hours.
Overall, the Velotric Packer 1 matches convenient accessories with solid performance and range for an attractive electric bike option.
