The spring refresh

Upgrade your commute and prep your Electric Two

The days are getting longer, the city is waking up, and there’s a collective urge to move. Spring is the ultimate moment to break old habits and upgrade your daily routine. Swap the crowded subway or the morning commute for the open road- it’s the best gift you can give yourself.

Cycling to work isn't just healthier; it's more efficient. With a Veloretti Electric Two, you get all the benefits of movement without the stress of arrival.

A daily mental reset

No more bumper-to-bumper traffic. That brief morning exercise offers a mental transition, allowing you to arrive at the office alert and fresh. Not stressed from traffic, but energized by the outdoors.

Master of your own time

An electric easily reaches 25 km/h, making a 10-kilometer ride about 25 minutes. No endless traffic jams, no hunt for parking, and no unplanned stops. You decide when you leave and when you arrive.

Cost-efficient and future-proof

With rising fuel prices and transit costs, an electric is an investment that pays for itself. No expensive gas, no monthly transit renewals. Plus, many employers offer competitive lease plans to make ownership even easier.

Rediscover your city

You become part of the city on a bike. Your commute becomes a scenic route through parks, a discovery of new spots, rather than tunnel vision through a windshield.

To enjoy those spring rides to the fullest, take your Veloretti out of "winter mode" with these essential steps.

A proper cleaning

Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Never use a high-pressure cleaner, as it can blast essential grease out of the bearings.

Gates® Carbon Drive™

Wipe with water to remove dust and check for 0.5 cm of play. If you hear a slight squeak, use Gates silicone spray to restore that silent ride.

Brakes and tyres

Ensure 1 cm of clearance between the lever and handlebar. Replace brake pads when they wear down to 0.5 mm and check tyres for cracks or worn tread.

Battery and intelligence

Give your battery a full charge. Check the Veloretti app for the latest firmware and perform an Enviolo® calibration for a seamless shifting experience.

Pro-tip: For maximum longevity, we recommend a professional service after the first 500 km, and once a year thereafter.

FAQ: Quick Spring check

Replace them as soon as the tread has worn away or when you notice small cracks in the rubber.

Your bike is factory-lubricated. However, moving parts like pedals may need fresh bike grease after a harsh winter. Avoid solvent-based products like wd-40, these can damage the hardware.

Periodically check that all bolts are tightened, especially the seatpost and the bolts on the front and rear wheels.
