Velotric GoMad E-Bike Review: Apple Health, Find My, Deep Customization

Velotric's GoMad utility e-bike, released on April 7, delivers Apple-centric features in a compact package. The bike includes Apple Health integration, Find My tracking, and the ability to swap between torque and cadence sensing modes. Building on the success of the larger Nomad 2, the GoMad offers similar specs in a more maneuverable form factor.

At its core, the GoMad emphasizes customization with multiple riding modes, five motor assist settings, and Ride Tuning for precise performance adjustments. The bike supports Class 1, 2, and 3 riding modes, making it adaptable to various local regulations. Additional features include NFC card unlocking for security and a rear cargo rack capable of holding up to 176 pounds.

The Apple integration stands out, though with some limitations. While Apple Health tracking works as advertised, it doesn't capture detailed metrics like cadence and speed without external sensors. The Find My feature functions when the bike is powered on but becomes inactive when completely shut down, making it more useful for specific outings than theft prevention. The comfortable ride quality, combined with thoughtful Apple ecosystem integration, positions Velotric as a leader in e-bikes for Apple users.
