⚡High-Powered 750W Bafang Rear Hub Motor (Peak 1275W) w/ Max Torque of 55Nm
⚡48V/15Ah Seat Tube Mounted Removable Lithium-Ion Battery w/ LG Cells
⚡7-Speed Shimano Drivetrain w/ 5-Level Pedal Assist System (PAS) & Left Side Thumb Throttle
The Prado is a unique electric bike, equally suited to street riding and off-road adventures. It has been designed with a low-step frame for easy boarding, and fat tires with blade rims for excellent traction and stability. Look closer, and you can see that the Prado features ape handlebars, a thick cushion saddle, and hydraulic front shocks, giving you an upright and extremely comfortable ride.
The Velowave Prado is equipped with a powerful 750W (nominal output) Bafang rear hub motor, which will make climbing the steepest hills possible. You can ride the Prado like a conventional bike, using the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, but when you need a boost from the motor, you will not be disappointed. You can get the power you need by using the 5-level pedal assist system (PAS) with cadence sensor, or ride without the need for pedaling by engaging the left-side thumb throttle. The motor has the capacity to get you up to 28+ mph by pedal assist and 20 mph by throttle.
The Prado electric bike comes with a removable 48V/15Ah lithium-ion battery with LG cells. It is capable of covering a range of 25-40+ miles per full charge. Removable and waterproof, this battery is safe and convenient to bring home or to your office to recharge. It supports fast charging, charges to about 80% in 4 hours, and fully charge in 8 hours.
The Prado is all about comfort, and having a hydraulic suspension fork (aka a front shock) really helps smooth out the bumps in the road. When engaged, the front shock will reduce the vibration of the frame, reducing stress on the arms and shoulders. It allows the Prado to provide a more stable, comfortable, and safe ride, especially on rough surfaces.
The Prado features Kenda brand 20" x 4.0" fat tires mounted on rigid blade rims. The benefits of fat tires are many: they absorb bumps in the road and provide a wider footprint (more surface contact area) increasing the traction and stability of the tread. Fat tires are ideal for off-road riding and can help cut through soft surfaces like sand and snow. Learn more about fat tire electric bikes on our blog.
The Velowave Prado is outfitted with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain and twist shifter, allowing you to shift smoothly through the gears as you ride. You can use the gears with the motor turned off, and get a nice workout. However, one of the benefits of ebikes is that you can also use the mechanical drivetrain along with the pedal assist system and throttle, maintain comfortable pedaling regardless of terrain.
The headlight on the Prado is super bright and provides a safer and more enjoyable environment for night riding.
The Prado is designed to accept front and rear baskets, so you can use it for daily trips to the grocery store or regular commutes to school or the gym. Select these sturdy accessories when adding the bike to your shopping cart.
Velowave focuses on important details, and for a more comfortable riding experience, they choose a wide and cushioned saddle for the Prado. This will help provide a more comfortable ride, especially if you have a sensitive lower back like many older adults.
The Prado S is designed with a 6061 Aluminum alloy frame with an integrated rear rack. It comes with a matte-colored body which is available in 3 classic colors. With DIY space on the side of the racks allows you to add stickers or graffiti. You’ll love it!
Display readouts include power assist levels, battery indicator, riding speed, and mileage. These data help to better control your riding status and to achieve better exercise results. The thumb throttle provides that extra boost of speed whenever it's needed.
These hydraulic brakes offer very a smooth and effective braking system under any conditions. Suitable for persons with less strength or beginners, they are able to easily stop this e-bike with a light touch of the brake lever.
The swept-back handlebars provide a neutral wrist position and create an upright posture that is comfortable and makes it easier to see, which is great for commuters.

This is my second Velowave ebike. They are well made, affordable, and are packaged such that protects them while shipping. Performance is outstanding. My other bike is the Ranger FMTB3. Both are excellent!
Thanks for the review James, it's appreciated.
I required a low-step frame that is easy to get on and off of, because of hip surgery and general aging. The Prado-S worked out perfectly for me. I love the smooth ride that fat tires provide, and the motor is very powerful when needed. So far I can give this a very high rating, both for the bike and the customer service I received.
Thanks for the review Tam, it's appreciated.
I'm not a reviewer or anything, but I can tell you that this was a big purchase for me and Steve really helped me understand ebikes and what might be the best one for me. I got it now, and while there is some getting used to time involved, I really think that this will be a life changer for me. It will let me go to the store without my car and stuff. That's really important, so thank you.
Thank you for the kind review Erma. It's truly appreciated.
I like the frame design of this ebike very much, as it is very easy to get on and off of. There is a lot of power when you need it, and the battery seems to last for at least 2 rides.
