Velotric Discover Class 2 e-bikes — pedal assist to 28 mph, 65-mile battery range, integrated lights and lock. From $25/hour, 4 minutes from Central Park's south entrance.
The Cathedral Hill climb up West Drive. The North Woods grade. The Great Hill. All effortless with pedal assist.
Central Park's 6.1-mile loop is mostly flat, but there are three meaningful climbs that catch most first-timers off guard: the West Drive ascent past Strawberry Fields, the North Woods stretch above 90th Street, and the East Drive return at 102nd Street. On a classic bike they're a workout. On a Velotric e-bike they're a stretch.
Where the e-bike really pays off:
Pedal assist up to 20 mph in Class 2 mode (NYC legal everywhere). Switchable to Class 3 (28 mph pedal assist) for private property only.
Class 2 means you can ride throttle-only — no pedaling required for the first 20 mph. Or pedal for a workout with motor help.
Full battery covers about 10 Central Park loops. Even on heavy throttle you'll get 35+ miles. No range anxiety.
Integrated front + rear lights, phone holder, bell, kickstand, and rack. The cable lock is in the included U-lock.
The U.S. federal classification system divides electric bikes into three classes based on top assisted speed and whether throttle is allowed. NYC follows this system.
Our Velotric can switch between Class 2 (street legal everywhere) and Class 3 (28 mph pedal assist, private property only) — we set it to Class 2 by default for everyone.
Helmet, lock and lights always included. Phone holder built in.
Pick up at 873 7th Avenue. Helmet, lock and lights included.
