The Velotric Summit 2 delivers 750W of climbing power, waterproof durability for our unpredictable weather, and up to 153 km of range. This makes it the top choice for Canadian riders who refuse to compromise.
Why the Velotric Summit 2 Dominates Canada's E-MTB Market
As Canada's electric bike market grows, riders are demanding more than basic commuter e-bikes. The Velotric Summit 2 answers with serious off-road capability, all-weather reliability, and technology that adapts to how you actually ride. Whether you're climbing Whistler trails or navigating Toronto's bike lanes, the Summit 2 delivers consistent performance.
What Makes the Velotric Summit 2 Different
Unlike entry-level e-bikes that struggle on hills or lack weather protection, the Summit 2 was engineered for Canadian conditions and diverse terrain.

Velotric Summit 2 Motor: 750W Power for Canadian Terrain
The 750W hub motor with 100Nm torque delivers the climbing power Canadian riders need:
- Steep Hill Performance: Maintains speed on 15-20% grades common on BC and Alberta trails
- Smooth Power Delivery: Torque sensor mode responds naturally to pedal pressure, with no jerky acceleration
- Cold Weather Reliability: Motor performance stays consistent in sub-zero temperatures
- Quiet Operation: Hub motor design runs quieter than mid-drive systems on paved sections
SensorSwap™ Technology: Choose Your Ride Style
The Summit 2's dual-sensor system lets you switch between:
- Torque Sensing Mode: Feels like a natural bike. Power scales with how hard you pedal (ideal for trails)
- Cadence Sensing Mode: Consistent power based on pedaling speed (better for relaxed cruising)
Most e-bikes force you into one sensing type. Velotric gives you both.
Velotric Summit 2 Battery: Go Further, Ride Longer
Real-World Range: What 153 km Actually Means
The UL2271-certified battery delivers:
- 153 km in Eco mode (flat terrain, minimal assist)
- 96-113 km in mixed riding (trails + streets, moderate assist)
- 64-80 km in high-power mode (steep climbs, maximum assist)
Waterproof Protection for Canadian Weather
- IPX7 Battery Rating: Submersible up to 1 meter. Ride through puddles, rain, slush without worry
- IPX6 Frame Rating: Protected against heavy rain and spray
- Cold-Weather Performance: Battery maintains capacity better than competitors in freezing conditions
Most e-bikes claim "water-resistant." The Summit 2's IPX7 battery certification means actual waterproof protection tested to international standards.
