The price above is for the bike as shipped, matching Velotric’s online pricing. For a complete professional setup — final assembly, professional setup and adjustment of all components, a free 200-mile adjustment, and priority warranty service — add the “Pro Setup & Assembly” item ($99) to your cart, and we’ll have it dialed in and ride-ready when you pick it up. This is required if you are using a WE-Bike Rebate.
The Tempo is Velotric’s lightest e-bike yet, and it’s built around a simple idea: keep the feel of a real bike and just add a little boost when you want it. At only 39 lbs (34 lbs with the battery removed), it rides beautifully even with the motor off, and it’s light enough to carry up stairs or lift onto a car rack. A quiet 350W rear hub motor (650W peak, 45Nm) delivers smooth, natural assist up to 28 mph, while the removable 36V 374Wh battery is good for up to 60 miles of range — and well beyond that in eco riding. It’s the e-bike for people who didn’t think they wanted an e-bike.
What sets the Tempo apart is the tech. Velotric’s SensorSwap™ lets you switch between a torque sensor (responsive, fitness-style support for hills and stop-and-go) and a cadence sensor (steady, effortless cruising). Pulse Mode™ pairs with the included heart-rate monitor to automatically adjust assist and keep you in your target zone — a personal trainer built into your downtube. Add Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, integrated lights with brake light and turn signals, a throttle, cruise control, NFC unlock, Apple Find My and Google Find Hub tracking, and over-the-air updates, and you’ve got one of the most sophisticated city bikes at this price.

From Velotric:
Light. Natural. Active. Meet Tempo — a lightweight city e-bike that looks and feels like a real bicycle, not a gadget. Hidden cabling, tan-wall tires, and a built-in rear light keep it clean and understated, while SensorSwap™ and Pulse Mode™ quietly tune the ride to you. Up to 60 miles of range means the freedom to commute, cruise, and explore without a second thought about the battery.
