Velowave

Velowave sells electric bikes direct to US riders from its own store, shipping from California warehouses to the lower 48 states. The line centres on 48 V fat tire bikes with 750 W rear hub motors, alongside a torque-sensing commuter, a mid-drive commuter without a throttle and a full-suspension trail bike.

Most models pair hydraulic disc brakes with a removable 720 Wh battery, and several ship with a throttle and 28 mph pedal assist. The brand’s two warranty pages disagree on electronics cover, so buyers should keep the order date and read both before making a claim.
