- Velotric Tempo product page and specifications (weight 39 lb with battery, 34 lb without, both listed by the maker; 330 lb is the maker's Max Bike Load Capacity; the page lists Mid-Step (MS) and High-Step (HS) frames as options, so frame style is left blank; tires are 700 x 42c so wheel and tire width in inches are left blank; default top speed 20 mph, adjustable 12 to 28; the page calls it a hub motor but does not say front or rear, so we list it as Hub motor)
