Find it anytime with Apple Find My.
Instead of being concerned with vanity, this new bike is focused on function and purpose.
One aspect of the design I did love was the lower, step-through bar.
It felt odd on the left instead of the right.
Another oddity was the underneath, dual-sided kickstand.
Its a more stable option for a bike that could have a lot of gear attached to it.
The same was true for the Go 1.
This one is rated for 48 to 55 miles of range.

I really didnt care for the Go 1s throttle being connected to the level of pedal assist.
This method of power delivery isn’t enough of a deterrent to not recommend the bike.
There are reasons why people might like this method.

I just didnt care for it.
This cargo bike can handle a total load of 440lbs, including the rider.
But really thats all that the feature is.

The bike connects to an Apple gadget in the same way an AirTag does.
It also functions in the same way, for better or worse.
But I wouldnt buy this bike solely because of this feature.

Currently, the bike is on sale for $1,599.
The Go 1 comes in either green or gray colors.
Another 10% to the bikes price isnt crazy, but it does present another consideration.

Their feet needed a place to rest.
Holding onto my waist was inconvenient.
The padded cushion was also invaluable to prolonged comfort.

(Therear handlebarsare not pictured because they arrived later and separate from the bike.)
I used the bike multiple times to take one of my kids to an appointment a few miles away.
They had no problem holding on and riding at the 20 to 25 miles per hour speed.

In fact, they loved it.
Most of the time, I found the Go 1 more convenient to useinstead of a car too.
If you want to ride with multiple kids at once, Velotric also has the largerPacker 1 ebike.

Should You Buy the Velotric Go 1?
Ive had great luck with multiple Velotric bikes.
I have been impressed with the quality over time.
Its a small piece of how its bikes can generally be a solid value in comparison to competitors.
In terms of theGo 1specifically, its a utility ebike.
If your objective is to be able to haul something on two wheels, then its a great choice.
I loved transporting my kids via bike instead of always having to use a car.
It had enough range to traverse a meaningful distance.
It also had enough power and speed to always feel peppy.
Its not made for off-roading and rough terrain as much as other options are.
Its also less stylish and design-focused than even theVelotric Discover 1is.
