For years, I didn’t understand the appeal of an e-bike. As a guy who didn’t get much exercise, bicycles were one of the few ways I could “work out” – and an electric bike sounded like it would take that exercise away from me.

But as more electric options started to creep into the Citi Bike stands surrounding my south Brooklyn home, I started to understand that e-bikes don’t eliminate exercise; they just let you choose how much work you want to do. So when a company called Velotric invited me to test out a new e-road bike designed for “urban and beyond”… I decided to see just how far beyond I could go – with a two-day bike ride from my New York City apartment to my childhood home.

I’m Michael Fisher and this is MrMobile’s 100-Mile Review of the Velotric T1!

NOTE: Velotric changed the name of the e-bike following production. The official name as of 12 July 2023 is the “Velotric T1.”
