The GOTRAX R2V2 Electric Bike Canada is a folding commuter e-bike for riders who want practical range, wider tires, and easier storage than a full-size city bike. It uses a 500W rear hub motor, a 48V 10.4Ah battery, 20 x 3.0 inch tires, front suspension, Shimano 7-speed gearing, and a folding frame to balance portability with everyday ride comfort.
Street Rides is an authorized GOTRAX dealer and ships this model across Canada for commuting, errands, condo storage, and riders who want a folding electric bike that feels steadier than a very small compact model.
Why Canadian riders look at the R2V2
- 500W motor with 32 km/h top speed
- 48V 10.4Ah battery with up to 64 km pedal-assist range
- About 35 km pure electric range
- 20 x 3.0 inch tires for better comfort and grip
- Front suspension for rougher city streets
- Shimano 7-speed drivetrain
- 5 pedal-assist levels and half-twist throttle
- Folding frame for easier storage and transport
Power and ride feel
The R2V2 is built for riders who want more comfort and battery capacity than a tiny folding e-bike can offer. The 500W motor works with 5 pedal-assist levels, a half-twist throttle, and Shimano 7-speed gearing, which gives you useful flexibility for flatter routes, bridges, headwinds, and longer city rides.
This is commuter-focused power, not trail-bike power. For Canadian riders, that is usually the right match. You get folding convenience, but the 20 x 3.0 inch tires and front suspension help the bike feel calmer on cracked pavement and mixed urban surfaces.
Battery and charging
The 48V 10.4Ah battery is rated at 499.2Wh. GOTRAX positions the R2V2 for up to 64 km in pedal-assist mode and about 35 km in pure electric mode. Real range depends on rider weight, assist level, route, wind, and temperature.
Charge time is about 5.5 hours. For many riders, that means an easy overnight charge before the next day of commuting or errands.
