Fit Impression:
Fit Impression: At 5'10 I'm right in the middle of the geometry chart on Velotric's website. The bike I rode was the regular which felt like the right option as the bike is already fairly large and bulky. The stem allows for some adjustments which kept me comfortable and relaxed in my riding position.

Overall Impression
The Velotric Nomad 2 is a HUGE step forward from Velotric. It's clear they listened to feedback both from us as a retailer and from their intended customer base. The true torque sense puts Velotric on the map as an electric bike manufacturer that can make a bike that rides like a bike with a true to effort power delivery and the computer interface and app connectivity was designed with the end user in mind. This bike will put a smile on anyones face and at this price point it punches way above its weight class from a value perspective. If the bike holds up, which the build quality points toward it being able to, this bike could be a real disrupter in the electric bike market!
