How many times have you been stuck at a truck stop and taking your rig to run some errands is not a practical solution? Well, now you have another option – the VeloMini electric folding bike. The VeloMini is very well-built, compact in size, lightweight, and can be easily folded-up and stored in your truck. Weighing only 33-36 pounds, the folded-up bike is only 18” high and 45” long. Everything works just like a full-size bicycle, but this bike also comes with an electric motor. These power-assisted electric bikes make riding easy and effortless – you can pedal if you want or sit back and relax if you don’t – and with a top speed of around 12 mph and a battery that can take you 8 to 13 miles, you are sure to get to where you need to go – and back! The range you achieve, of course, depends on how much you pedal. The motor has a relatively-modest 180 watts, but the bike has power beyond what the rating implies. While just pedaling, the motor feels strong and quickly takes you up to full speed, but with a simple twist of the throttle you can add even more speed. Or, if you just want to let the motor do all the work, you can ride at a comfortable speed at full throttle with no pedaling. And although the VeloMini is no speed demon, it can climb hills a lot better than you might think. There are two VeloMini models to choose from – a single speed and a 3-speed model. The folding bicycles come in four colors – silver, black, red or blue. There are also non-folding e-bikes available, as well. Stay active and healthy and get your mobility back – even while out on the road.
