There are a number of similar looking power-on-demand electric bicycles on the market. This is because the fairings manufacturers in China, where virtually all of them are made, quickly copy the designs developed by well known ebike manufacturers. The similarity, however, often stops there. Veloteq has been offering power-on-demand electric bicycles in Canada for five years. They were evaluated for safety and compliance by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) from the very beginning, as well as by Canada Customs and the CBSA.
Veloteq products were developed from the very beginning to satisfy the requirements of users in British Columbia, which encompasses wide variations in terrain, from Vancouver Island to the Okanagan Valley. Veloteq now has 30 dealers across Canada, and the number is increasing rapidly. Why are people willing to pay more for a Veloteq? The answer lies "under the hood" so to speak. Batteries used on Veloteqs are very high quality colloid Voltage Regulated Sealed Lead Acid batteries. We will shortly introduce a new type of power supply which will obsolete all of those currently in use. Specially desiged very high power controllers were developed to deal with the high current demand required on the hill of B.C. Veloteq has also done away with fuses that are prone to "popping" easily and has replaced them with more advanced power system protection devices. Heavy gauge electrical wiring is used throughout to eliminate "melt down" which can occur during periods of high power demand. The traditional hub motor has been replaced by a new type of gear reduction motor, factory modified for North American use, that will enable all Veloteq models to climb virtually any incline intended for motor vehicle traffic. Look for these on the 2008 models. Veloeq paint finishes are high quality automotive enamel, not the inexpensive lacquer finishes used on the less expensive ebikes, which are easily scratched. Look at the sticker price, but after doing so, we advise that interested users also look carefully "under the hood".
Veloteq products are now sold throughout the US Gulf Coast and Veloteq is also rapidly expanding throughout California and all the adjecent states. You will be seeing a lot more from Veloteq.

Vealoteq makes a lot of claims that are not all true. Just stop a Veloteq rider and they will tell you that their bikes do not travel as far as they claim, that their bikes have major electrical problems like lighting, and their bikes break down for no reason. Daymak has been around since 2001, longer than Veloteq. All bikes come from Chinaa, including Vealoteq's. The bike in the picture by the way is not by Daymak. It is actually a bike by Blue Avenue, who was the first company to open a store in downtown Toronto on Queen St. You can tell by the geared motor that it is the Mountaineer. Are they ever getting their own store? Why does an ebike comapny like Daymak sell gas engine pocket bikes and atvs in their ebike stores? And oh yeah, another Vealoteq dealer called Silent Rider just opened up. Wathch out, they talk like used car sales people there.
