Spacevelo Blitz S1
S1 FAQ: Quick Answers for Riders
Direct answers on Spacevelo Blitz S1 range, dual battery, rider fit, assembly, warranty, and support. Claims follow the official S1 specification.
How far can the Spacevelo Blitz S1 go on a full charge?
Up to 100 miles in Eco/PAS 1 at a 75kg rider, on flat paved roads, in 20-25°C conditions. Actual range varies by rider weight, speed, terrain, and temperature.
How far can a heavier rider expect to go on the Blitz S1?
Real-world range depends on rider weight, speed, terrain, and temperature. The up to 100-mile figure is measured at a 75kg rider on flat paved roads in Eco/PAS 1 at 20-25°C. The S1 supports up to 150 kg (330 lbs) including rider and cargo, but heavier riders and cargo will reduce real-world range.
How is the 1500W peak different from the 750W rated motor?
The BAFANG motor is rated for 750W of continuous power and can deliver up to 1500W peak for short bursts during starts, hill climbs, and acceleration. Peak power is not continuous riding power.
How long does it take to charge both Blitz S1 batteries?
Plan for about 6-8 hours for a full charge from 0-100% with the included charger on a standard household outlet. Actual time varies with remaining battery level.
Is the Blitz S1 built for beach sand, snow, or winter trails?
The S1 is set up for loose and winter surfaces with 20x4.0 fat tires and full suspension. The up to 100-mile range is measured on flat, paved roads in Eco/PAS 1, so expect shorter range and different handling on sand, snow, or winter trails.
Is the Blitz S1 water-resistant or waterproof?
The Spacevelo Blitz S1 features an IP67 waterproof LCD display and a weather-resistant design for all-terrain riding. The bike is water-resistant for rain and splashes, but not submersible.

How do the Blitz S1 dual batteries improve range and battery life?
