The term “SUV-style e-bike” has gained traction in recent years, referring to hybrid e-bikes designed for both work and play. These bikes combine the practicality of a commuter-capable ride for getting to and from work with the ruggedness needed for off-roading, whether it’s on local greenways or possibly blue trails. While owning dedicated bikes for each
purpose would be ideal, most of us have limited budgets and finite garage space, making the rise of this versatile category easy to understand.
Today, we’re comparing two popular options on opposite ends of the pricing spectrum: the Velotric Summit 1 and the Specialized Turbo Tero X. Velotric is an emerging brand in the affordable e-bike space that has made strong impressions with early models, while Specialized is a long-established, celebrated name in the
industry.
