Velocity: Dolphin Blackpowder

Thanks to it's unique motor system the Velocity allows the rider to choose between pedaling soft and easy or hard and fast.

Rating 2001: Very good.
Recommended for those who like it sporty.
Price: € 2,846.17

 

 
The Dolphin shows the innerworkings of its system through its colored transparent battery box. The quick acceleration and unbelieveable hill-climbing ability is due to Michael Kutter’s development of a very efficient gear system.

The Velocity system is turned on by a code, so no keys are needed. The motor power can be raised or lowered with the arrow keys on the battery box. When the power support is raised however, the muscle power must be increased by the rider. So, the rider is able to choose between slow and comfortable or fast and sporty.

Pros:
+ Fastest charge time in the test.
+ Extremely powerful hill-climbing ability.
+ Light powered by battery.

Cons:
- When traveling fast without the help from the motor, the pedals at times tend to spin freely.
- This Pedelec is illegal in Germany because it exceeds the legal limit of 16 mph.
