VELLO SUB – Smart Utility Bike

Story

VELLO SUB, Smart Utility Bike

GO YOU – versatile and unique, just like you

The VELLO SUB, one of the lightest cargo e-bikes ever built!

GO FAST

You can go the distance with the VELLO SUB – its Bosch electric motor powered by a dual battery system has a range of up to 250 km (155 miles) (maximium speed> US version of the VELLO SUB: up to 20mph; EU version: up to 25km/h). The VELLO SUB also comes with the newest Bosch Smart System that includes remote controller on the cockpit and a free smartphone app (see below for more details).

GO YOU – Carry your day

The VELLO SUB is your environmentally friendly, urban mobility all-rounder for your every day needs. A sustainable and lightweight “family van”, the VELLO SUB cargo e-bike adds the space and weight capacity you wish your bike had – without sacrificing the portability you want.

Transport children, groceries, or animal companions in the VELLO SUB’s additional space for two passengers. Add tools, bulky goods or heavy loads in the front cargo rack. Anything up to 210 kg (463 lb) can be easily transported by the VELLO SUB. Just like larger, heavier cargo bikes – except the VELLO SUB is the most portable and lightest cargo e-bike around.

GO FUN

GO SAFE!

The VELLO SUB offers good visibility in the dark with the integrated lights from Supernova for maximum safety.

For optimum braking power, the hydraulic disc brakes with four-piston system from Magura.

Our bikes are certified for pedelecs according to EN 15194 and conform to the required safety regulations in the European Union. Most countries recognise the EN 15194 as being the highest testing standard and providing the necessary safety measure for their legal use on public streets.

GO COMPACT

GO FOLD! Switch from train to bike or take the bike on the train.

Your choice!

We know space is limited, especially in cities. That’s why we designed the SUB to fit into every corner of your daily life! Easy to handle, light, the size of an average bike – and foldable! Take the bike on public transport or fold it to store it discretely in the office or your home.

A collapsible handlebar and folding pedals lets the VELLO SUB fold to just 29 cm wide (11,41″), and 85 cm in height (33,46″), perfect for safe storage inside your home or office. Handles on the saddle let you take it along or for your child to hold on during the ride.

The VELLO SUB’s length is the same as a standard bike (180cm/70,86″), allowing it to be taken on a train or mounted onto a bike rack for weekends away.

With the VELLO SUB, you will reduce your carbon footprint, while saving time. The Ebike Flow app smart system helps your find the best routes. No more time-consuming, stressful rush hours. You will fly past cars stuck in traffic.

GO MOBILE! GO EASY!

Enjoy the customized experience of safe, durable full mobility

A tool-free, quick release accessory system enables to change the configuration of the VELLO SUB quickly and easily. Child seats and cargo baskets can be fitted quickly and removed with a safety lock system that saves you fiddling with complicated brackets or mounting systems. The countless possible uses of the longtail means that you can run your daily errands more easily and in full comfort – thanks to the extensive range of accessories.

VELLO SUB is a safe, stable and easy to manoeuvre bike due to ultrawide 20” Schwalbe tires that keep its centre of gravity low – regardless of whether it is loaded with cargo or passengers. The handlebar on the saddle enables the child to hold on while riding, or to facilitate the lifting of the VELLO SUB.

Thanks to the height-adjustable handlebars and the different seat posts, the bike fits anyone between 150 cm (4,9 feet) and 200 cm (6,5 feet). The VELLO SUB can also easily be adjusted to the perfect riding position (more upright or more sporty riding positions).

OUR TIMELINE

OUR STORY

Hear from the VELLO founders:

ENGINEERING FROM AUSTRIA

Our VELLO bikes consist of many components, some of which are our own inventions. Many of our technical developments are considered pioneering design solutions in the bike industry, as VELLO’s many patents reflect.

To make the VELLO SUB a high quality, safe, durable, and versatile cargo e-bike required close attention to detail. We’ve been working over the years with engineers and designers to make it ready for manufacturing with the care needed to make it the perfect cargo folding e-bike. The process involved drawing, redrawing, modeling, remodeling, building and rebuilding, testing and retesting.

We believe in our painstaking work and its high-quality – and low maintenance needs. So we are offering a 5 year warranty on the frame and fork.

OUR MISSION

We believe that every one of us can contribute positively to our environment through our actions and products that we build. VELLO Bike is a climate:active partner, a Climate Protection Initiative of Austria’s Ministry of Environment with the aim of reducing the level of CO2 emission until 2020 (and beyond). Through this program, we can actively take part in shaping Austria’s climate change policies. We are proud to do our share, and to contribute to a healthier and cleaner world.
