What Do Velotric, Ride1Up, ENGWE, Jasion and Other Newer Brands Actually Sell?

Manufacturer, retailer and public-agency sources · 2026-09-24 · no ratings, no road tests

Summary

They sell bikes that belong in different comparisons. Velotric and Swagtron top out at 28 mph and Razor's Rambler bikes stay under 20 mph, while Jasion, Qlife and ENGWE list models at 38 to 45 mph, well past the 28 mph where Class 3 assist ends. The safety wording differs just as much, from a UL 2849 claim for "the complete unit" to a statement that covers "most" models to no UL wording on the page at all.

Styles and fastest listed speed

Brand	Styles in the U.S. catalog	Fastest speed on the brand's pages
Velotric	Commuter, city, hybrid, utility and cargo, mid-drive, cruiser, folding, fat tire, e-tricycle	28 mph (T1 ST Plus, Summit 1, Summit 2)
Swagtron UrbanCruise	One Class 3 model on 20 x 4 inch fat tires	28 mph
Razor Rambler	Five retro-styled bikes rated for ages 8+, 13+ or 18+	19.9 mph (Rambler 20 and Rambler TRL)
Jasion	Fat tire, folding, moped style, cruiser, cargo, off-road	40 mph (Patrol, 4000W)
Qlife	Full suspension, fat tire, trike, commuter, folding	38+ mph (Spark Plus, Spark Max)
ENGWE	Fat tire, moped-styled, folding, commuter, cargo	45 mph (Eagle)

The last three brands sell something closer to a light motorbike alongside their ordinary e-bikes. Jasion lists nine models at 30 mph or more, including the RetroVolt Pro at 38 mph under the tagline "Moped EBike For Teens & Adults." ENGWE's fastest model, the Eagle, is headlined "3200W Peak Output 45MPH Max Speed Electric Dirt Bike For Teens & Adult," and its M20 3.0 is a "3300W Peak Output 120Nm Torque Moped-Style E-Bike." Qlife's homepage gives two sets of figures for one bike: the Spark Plus banner reads "Peak 2000W, 37Mph" while its product card lists 2200 W and 38+ mph.

Those models line up with electric dirt bikes and moped-style machines. A 20 mph commuter from the same brand is a different purchase.

What each brand says about UL 2849

The strongest wording comes from Swagtron, whose UrbanCruise page says "UL ANSI 2849 compliant for the complete unit. UL 2271 compliant battery." Jasion puts "Certified to UL 2849 / UL 2271 by SGS" at the top of its electric-bike collection. That line covers the collection as a whole and does not list models.

Velotric's certification page is more cautious. It says "Most Velotric e-bikes are both UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified," and its collection pages promise "UL-certified batteries" on every bike. The page names no models, so a single Velotric bike has to be checked on its own product page.

ENGWE's U.S. homepage carries no UL claim, and Qlife's shows a "TÜV Rheinland Verified" badge on the Racer 2.0 and no UL standard by name. UL describes UL 2849 as covering the e-bike's electrical system, drive train, battery and charger together, and says a bike with a UL-certified battery is not the same as a UL-certified e-bike.

Ride1Up's models and earlier versions

Ride1Up's manuals page covers the CF Racer1, Portola 02, Prodigy V2, Revv 1 (FS, HT and DRT), Roadster V3, TrailRush and Vorsa, and lists eleven earlier models separately, among them the Core-5, the 500 and 700 Series, the first Prodigy, the original Portola, the LMT'D and the Roadster v2. A review of a Roadster v2 or a Core-5 describes one of those earlier bikes, not the Roadster V3 or another model with a similar name.
