Velotric Breeze 1 — Lightweight Step-Through Cruiser eBike

Velotric Breeze 1: a 22 kg Step-Through Cruiser With a 380 mm Step-Over, Switchable Torque or Cadence Assist and Apple Find My

The Velotric Breeze 1 is a step-through cruiser e-bike built around a light frame and a low step: Velotric lists it at 22 kg, with a 380 mm step-over on both frame sizes. A 750 W rear hub motor (65 N·m) runs from a removable 48 V, 13.4 Ah (627 Wh) battery certified to UL 2271, the bike is certified to UL 2849, and Velotric’s SensorSwap switches the pedal sensor between torque and cadence from the handlebar.

At 22 kg it is 6 kg lighter than the Velotric Discover 3 (28 kg) and 6.6 kg lighter than the Fold 1 Plus (28.6 kg); of the Velotric bikes compared on this page, only the 350 W Tempo (17.7 kg) weighs less. The trade is suspension and battery: the Breeze 1’s fork is plain aluminum, where the Discover 3 has an 80 mm air fork, and its pack is 13.4 Ah against the Discover 3’s 15.2 Ah, both at 48 V.

Velotric pitches it at first-time e-bike riders and smaller-built riders. The Regular frame fits riders from 150 cm (4′11″) and the Large up to 193 cm (6′4″), in five colours: Violet Haze, Ocean Mist, Classic Scarlet, Satin White and Slate Gray.

Watch Velotric’s Breeze 1 Unboxing and Assembly Video

We have not filmed our own Breeze 1 review yet, so this is Velotric’s own video: four minutes on unboxing the bike and the at-home assembly steps listed under How It Arrives below.

“Velotric Breeze 1: How to unbox and assemble your Breeze 1” (4:07, uploaded 18 March 2025), from Velotric’s own YouTube channel, not made by Zeus.

What the Combination Does for a Canadian Rider

• A low step on a light frame — 380 mm to step over on both sizes, and 22 kg to lift onto a car rack or up a step: 6 kg less than the Discover 3.
• Two ways to ride — torque mode follows how hard you pedal, which Velotric suggests for mixed-pavement paths; cadence mode gives steady assist once the cranks turn, for relaxed cruising. You switch between them from the handlebar controls.
• A battery that comes inside — removable and locked with a key, which matters in a Canadian winter: it will not charge below 0 °C.
• Seen and found — a 400 lm headlight, a brake light with turn signals, and Apple Find My tracking.

Breeze 1 Sizes, Fit and Measurements

Velotric sells two frame sizes with the same 380 mm stand-over. Its geometry tables give these figures; the inches are our conversion of Velotric’s millimetres.

Velotric publishes no overall length, top-tube length or inseam range for the Breeze 1, on its Canadian or US page or in its owner’s manual (all read 17 October 2026). Between 168 and 173 cm both sizes fit; call us with your height and inseam and we’ll help you choose.

Key Features

• 750 W rear hub motor, 65 N·m — Velotric Canada’s rating; its US store adds a 900 W peak. Velotric rates the motor’s running noise as “Low”. It is above the 500 W provincial line (see the legal note above).
• SensorSwap: torque or cadence — Velotric suggests torque mode for mixed-pavement paths, where the assist follows your effort, and cadence mode for relaxed cruising with less pedalling; you switch between them from the handlebar controls.
• Removable 48 V, 13.4 Ah (627 Wh) battery — IPX7, certified to UL 2271, built from 18650 cells certified to UL 2580, and locked to the frame with a key. The 48 V, 3 A charger fills it in 4–6 hours, per Velotric.
• 3.5″ full-colour Bluetooth display — 3 riding modes × 5 assist levels, cruise control, a walk mode (2.9 mph, about 4.7 km/h, in the manual) and a USB-C port for charging a phone.
• Removable trigger throttle — alongside pedal assist; throttle rules on public roads are set by each province.
• Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, 180 mm rotors front and rear — aluminum levers that cut the motor when you brake.
• Shimano 8-speed with an 11–32T freewheel — a KMC 8-speed chain, a 46T narrow-wide chainring and 170 mm aluminum cranks.
• Kenda 27.5 × 2.2″ puncture-resistant e-bike tires — on double-wall aluminum rims, with a NOVATEC front hub on a 15 × 110 mm thru-axle.
• A cruiser cockpit — a swept-back aluminum bar (660 mm on the Regular, 680 mm on the Large), an adjustable stem, lockable ergonomic grips, Velotric’s comfort saddle and a 30.9 mm seatpost with a quick-release clamp.
• Lights and signals — a 400 lm integrated headlight with an adjustable angle, and a rear light that works as a brake light and turn signals.
• Apple Find My and the Velotric app — the bike can be located through Apple’s Find My network, and the app delivers over-the-air updates.
• UL 2849 and ISO 4210 — Velotric lists UL 2849 certification for the e-bike’s electrical system and the ISO 4210 bicycle standard. The bike is rated IPX6 and the battery IPX7.

How It Arrives

Velotric says the bike ships nearly 85% assembled, with a toolkit, and its owner’s manual walks through the rest. In the box, per Velotric:

• The Breeze 1, with its battery, charger, front light and display
• The owner’s manual and quick start guide, and a toolkit
• Front and rear reflectors, a bell, a cable binder, the kickstand, and left and right pedals

At home, in the manual’s order: the front wheel (6 mm Allen key, axle tightened to 14 N·m), the handlebar and stem, the front light and display, the bell and reflectors, and the pedals (15 mm wrench, 35–40 N·m; the left pedal threads counter-clockwise), then a tire check and activating and charging the battery. The manual lists every torque, and it warns not to squeeze the brake levers before the front wheel is in, because that can misalign the hydraulic brakes. Fenders and a rear rack are not included.

The Honest Take: What to Know Before You Buy

1. No suspension fork. Velotric lists the fork simply as aluminum, with no travel; the comfort comes from the 2.2″ tires, the upright position and the saddle. On broken pavement the Discover 3’s 80 mm air fork and suspension seatpost do more, at 28 kg against 22 kg.
2. A smaller battery than the Discover 3. 13.4 Ah against 15.2 Ah at 48 V (Velotric prints 627 Wh and 730 Wh, on different voltage bases). Velotric’s 113 km is for an 85 kg rider in PAS 1, Eco mode, on flat roads; its own FAQ says 80–97 km.
3. Fenders, a rack and Android tracking are not part of it. Fenders and the rear rack are sold separately (the Discover 3 and Fold 1 Plus include them), and tracking is Apple Find My only (the Discover 3 and Tempo also list an Android find network and an NFC card unlock).

If those fit how you ride (paved paths, errands around the neighbourhood, weekend cruising), the Breeze 1 is the lightest 750 W bike in this comparison, with a 380 mm step-over.

Full Specifications

Velotric’s figures from its Breeze 1 page on velotric.ca, its US store and the owner’s manual, read 17 October 2026. Where they differ, each is shown with its source.

Who Is the Breeze 1 For?

• First-time e-bike riders — Velotric aims the Breeze 1 at them, and a step-through frame with a choice of torque or cadence assist is easy to learn on. Choosing a first e-bike →
• Smaller riders — the Regular frame starts at 150 cm (4′11″), with a 745 mm lowest saddle height. Step-through e-bikes in Canada →
• Riders with stiff hips or knees — 380 mm to step over, with no top tube to swing a leg across. E-bikes for seniors →
• Apartment and condo riders — 22 kg in an elevator, and a battery that comes out to charge indoors. E-bike battery guide →

Who it’s NOT for: riders on broken roads who want suspension (the Discover 3, with an 80 mm air fork); riders who need a motor under the 500 W line (the 350 W Tempo); riders who need it to fold (the Fold 1 Plus); riders and cargo over 150 kg (e-bikes for heavy riders); and riders over 193 cm (the Discover 3 Large goes to 201 cm with its suspension seatpost).

N/P = not published on that bike’s Velotric Canada page. Battery: Velotric’s watt-hour figures are not on one voltage basis (627 Wh and 608 Wh work out at 46.8 V × amp-hours, 730 Wh at 48 V × amp-hours, our arithmetic), so compare amp-hours at the same 48 V: 13.4 Ah (Breeze 1), 15.2 Ah (Discover 3), 13 Ah (Fold 1 Plus). The Breeze 1’s 900 W peak is from Velotric’s US store; the Fold 1 Plus’s 608 Wh is from Velotric’s product description. Range figures are Velotric’s.

Frequently Asked Questions

What riders ask about the Breeze 1

Does the Velotric Breeze 1 have a throttle?

Yes. Velotric lists a trigger throttle that can be removed, alongside pedal assist in 3 riding modes × 5 levels, and puts throttle-only range at 89 km (its range figures are for an 85 kg rider on flat roads). Throttle use on public roads is set by each province, and the Breeze 1’s 750 W motor is above the 500 W line the provincial rules converge on. Pedal assist vs throttle →

How much does the Breeze 1 weigh, and how much weight can it carry?

Velotric’s Canadian spec table says 22 kg; its US store lists 48 lb (21.8 kg), or 40.8 lb (18.5 kg) without the battery, and the owner’s manual says 50 lb. The maximum load is 150 kg (330 lb) for rider plus cargo in every Velotric spec table we read, the manual’s included; one safety paragraph elsewhere in the manual gives 200 kg (440 lb) including the bike, so plan on 150 kg. Velotric’s optional rear rack carries up to 30 kg. E-bikes for heavy riders →

What class is the Breeze 1, how fast does it go, and can I ride it on Canadian roads?

It ships set to 32 km/h, and Velotric lists an adjustable range of 19–45 km/h. Velotric labels the settings Class 1/2/3; those are US labels, not a Canadian category. Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021. E-bike rules are provincial, and they converge on a 500W motor and 32 km/h of assisted speed (Nova Scotia’s statute says 30 km/h). Velotric lists the motor at 750 W, above that line, so the Breeze 1 is not a road-legal power-assisted bicycle in any province at any speed setting. Higher-power e-bikes are outside those definitions: private land with permission, or where your province’s off-road rules allow. Canadian e-bike laws by province →

Does the Breeze 1 have suspension?

No. Velotric lists the fork simply as aluminum, with no suspension travel, so the comfort comes from the 27.5 × 2.2″ tires, the upright position with a swept-back bar and adjustable stem, and the cushioned saddle. Velotric’s FAQ lists a suspension seatpost among the accessories that fit. For a suspension fork, the Velotric Discover 3 has an 80 mm air fork with lockout and comes with a suspension seatpost.

How far does the Breeze 1 go on a charge?

Velotric’s spec table says up to 113 km on pedal assist and 89 km on throttle, for an 85 kg rider in PAS 1, Eco mode, on flat roads. Its own FAQ answers the same question with 80–97 km, varying with terrain, assist level, tire pressure, rider and cargo weight, and wind. A full charge takes 4–6 hours on the 48 V, 3 A charger, per Velotric. Our e-bike battery guide →

What battery does it use, and can I charge it in a Canadian winter?

A removable 48 V, 13.4 Ah (627 Wh) pack, IPX7, certified to UL 2271 and built from 18650 cells certified to UL 2580; it locks with a key and charges on or off the bike. Velotric’s manual says to charge it at 10–30 °C. Below 0 °C it goes into Low Temperature Protection Mode and will not charge until it has warmed to 10 °C (keep it somewhere warm for at least an hour), and it should be stored at 10–25 °C. Velotric rates it at 500+ cycles to 75% of its original capacity, about 3–5 years of regular use in its words. Velotric lists the same 48 V, 3 A charger for the Discover 2, Summit 1, Nomad 2 and Nomad 2X; call us for a spare. Winter e-bikes in Canada →

Will the Breeze 1 fit me: Regular or Large?

Velotric sizes it by rider height: the Regular for 150–173 cm (4′11″–5′8″) and the Large for 168–193 cm (5′6″–6′4″). Both have the same 380 mm stand-over; the Large raises the saddle range from 745–945 mm to 810–1,015 mm and the handlebar height from 1,050 to 1,070 mm. Between 168 and 173 cm either fits; the measurements table above has every figure Velotric publishes. Call us with your height and inseam if you are unsure.

What accessories fit, and are fenders and a rack included?

Neither is in the box: Velotric’s FAQ says the rack and fenders are sold separately, and its spec table lists them as optional (full-coverage front and rear fenders, and an aluminum MIK HD rear rack rated for 30 kg). Velotric says the bike also takes front racks, a front basket, a suspension seatpost, phone holders and water bottles. Some photos on this page show those optional extras. Ask us which Breeze 1 accessories we can supply.

What tires does it use, and what pressure should they run?

Kenda 27.5 × 2.2″ puncture-resistant e-bike tires on double-wall aluminum rims. Velotric’s owner’s manual says to inflate to the pressure printed on the tire’s sidewall, never above its maximum, and to check before every ride; the sidewall drawn in the manual reads 30–50 PSI (200–350 kPa). Velotric’s product-page FAQ suggests 414 kPa (60 PSI) for best range, which is above that drawing’s maximum, so go by the sidewall on your own tires.

Is the Breeze 1 waterproof? Can I ride it in the rain?

Velotric rates the bike IPX6 and the battery IPX7, and its FAQ says that makes it safe in light rain; avoid heavy downpours and flooded roads. The manual adds: never submerge it, never pressure-wash it (wipe it down with a damp cloth instead), store it under shelter, and know that snow, rain and road salt can corrode parts, and that water damage and corrosion are not covered by the warranty.

How does the Breeze 1 arrive, and is assembly hard?

Velotric says it ships nearly 85% assembled, with a toolkit. At home you fit the front wheel, the handlebar and stem, the front light and display, the bell and reflectors, and the pedals, then activate and charge the battery; the manual lists every torque and warns not to squeeze the hydraulic brake levers before the front wheel is in. Your first month of Zeus Care includes assembly walkthroughs by phone or video, and Velotric’s assembly video is above. Velotric’s owner’s manual →

Breeze 1, Discover 3 or Tempo: which should I buy?

From the comparison above: the Breeze 1 is the light, low-step 750 W cruiser (22 kg, 380 mm step-over); the Discover 3 adds an 80 mm air fork, a suspension seatpost, fenders, a rack and a larger battery for 6 kg more; the Tempo is the lightest (17.7 kg), with a 350 W motor under the 500 W line. See the comparison →

What warranty comes with the Breeze 1?

Velotric’s Canadian warranty policy (read 17 October 2026) covers the electrical components for 2 years: the motor, throttle, control panel, controller, wiring harness, lights, sensor, Find My and IoT modules, and charger, with the battery covered for up to 300 charge cycles in that time (Velotric says it is designed to keep up to 75% of its capacity over them). Other essential parts (stem, handlebar, headset, brakes except pads, bottom bracket, crankset, pedals, kickstand, rims, hubs, freewheel, derailleur and shifter) and accessories are covered for 1 year. Tires, tubes, brake pads, cables and housing, grips, chain, spokes, paint and graphics are not covered, and coverage is for the first owner. The same policy also says third-party components such as drivetrain and brake parts are not covered by it, and its 5-year frame line names only the T1 and T1 ST; where its wording leaves a question, we get Velotric’s answer for you before you buy. These are Velotric’s own published terms, backed by Velotric in full; Velotric’s policy sends buyers who bought through a dealer to that dealer for after-sale service, which is us, and we handle the claim with Velotric for you. Your first month of Zeus Care is included: we diagnose the problem, file the claim with Velotric and follow it up. Zeus Care plans run $119 for 1 year, $229 for 2, $339 for 3 and $599 for 5; they are a service, not added parts coverage. Returns are 15 days from delivery on unused, unopened items, with a 15% restocking fee and return shipping paid by you. Warranty & Zeus Care →

Are there reviews of the Breeze 1?

It is a new addition to our lineup, so there are no Zeus customer reviews yet. Independent video reviews are on YouTube, including Electric Bike Report’s and Ebike Escape’s (both posted on 18 March 2025); speeds and prices in reviews made outside Canada won’t match this page, which uses Velotric Canada’s figures.
