The Velowave Grace is a city e-bike with a 720 Wh battery and a 60 Nm hub motor. Its most distinguishing number is its weight: 37.6 kg. That is 38% above the median for its type. This is a heavy bike, but it carries a large battery and a powerful motor.
You get a claimed range of 64 km, but our estimate is 51 km. That estimate is 20% below the claim. The Grace suits riders who prioritize battery capacity and torque over portability. It is not for anyone who needs to carry a bike up stairs.

Where it falls short
The Grace is heavy. At 37.6 kg, it is 10.4 kg heavier than the median city bike. That extra weight makes it harder to handle off the bike. It also has no throttle, so you must pedal even at top speed.
Who should buy it
The Grace fits riders who want a long-range city commuter with strong hill-climbing power. It is best for people who can store and charge the bike at ground level. You should be comfortable with a heavy machine.
- You ride more than 45 km per day and need the large battery.
- You live in a hilly area and want the 60 Nm torque.
- You do not need to lift the bike often, such as into a car or up stairs.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or one you can carry. The Grace is not foldable and has no step-through frame. If you want a throttle or a lower price, consider other models.
