The Velotric Nomad 1 was the first bike I reviewed for Electric Bike Report after joining the team here, and as such, it will always be a special one. Now, nearly two years later, Velotric has released a refreshed and lightly updated “Plus” version of its fat tire e-bike to replace the original model.
Does it still hold up?
That’s a complicated question, as there are many things to consider when passing judgment. We’ll arrive at that conclusion later in this review, but first, I think it’s important to revisit some of the things I appreciated about the OG Nomad 1 and compare those things with the Plus.
