There’s a growing category of electric bikes that seem designed less around raw power and more around simply being pleasant to ride. They’re lighter, cleaner-looking, easier to pedal, and more focused on enhancing the cycling experience instead of replacing it.

After spending time testing the new Velotric Tempo, I think this bike fits squarely into that category.

The Tempo isn’t trying to be a high-powered fat tire monster or a pseudo-motorcycle disguised as a bicycle. Instead, it feels like Velotric intentionally built a lightweight, approachable commuter and fitness-oriented e-bike that still rides like a bike first and an e-bike second.

I’d say that it’s an approach that works well here.

But seeing is believing, so feel free to check out my video review below, then keep reading for even more on this fun e-bike!
