About This Model
The Velotric GoMad is a compact utility e-bike for riders who want one bike that can handle errands, groceries, gear, child-carrying setups, and daily transportation without feeling oversized. Its 20" x 4.0" fat-tire platform, 500 lb max payload rating, and 176 lb rear rack rating make it a practical choice for people who need more carrying ability than a standard commuter e-bike.
For New Orleans riding, the GoMad makes sense because it keeps the utility-bike idea manageable. It is built for riders 5'0" to 6'3", uses Velotric's SensorSwap system so riders can choose torque or cadence sensing, and includes Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with a 203mm front rotor and 180mm rear rotor for confident stopping when the bike is loaded.
Velotric lists the GoMad with a 48V, 801.6Wh battery, up to 75 miles of range with one battery, and 75 to 150 miles of range when equipped with a second battery (sold separately). It also includes modern convenience and security features such as NFC keyless access, Apple Find My, Android Find My Device / Find Hub integration, a 3.5" TFT full color display, USB-C charging, a rear light with brake indicator and turn signals, and a 500-lumen front light.
