The Vello Sub, a popular electric cargo bike known for its robust design and utility, is set to return in 2026 with a range of improvements while keeping its price unchanged. The new model, called the SUB 2, maintains its maximum load capacity of 210 kg, but features a redesigned frame available in both titanium and steel versions. The frame includes a thicker diagonal tube that adds more mounting points, a rear rack that can now hold both bags and seats, a relocated kickstand, and a spring to limit steering angle. The rotating handlebar is still included to reduce the bike's footprint when parked, and it continues to use 20-inch wheels with all standard equipment such as fenders, lighting linked to the battery, and protection skirts.
The pedals are now wider while still being foldable, though a wheel lock is not included, and the front rack is optional for carrying up to 22 kg. The motor system has also been upgraded with a more powerful Bosch Gen5 motor, which can now deliver up to 120 Nm of torque through the eBike Flow app, an increase from the previous 85 Nm. This update is part of Bosch’s broader Performance 2.0 upgrade, which allows for higher torque without hardware changes. The bike also supports a double battery system, with an optional 800 Wh battery, giving up to 1,600 Wh total capacity and 350 km of range in Eco+ mode, compared to 250 km with standard batteries.
The handlebar now includes a more advanced display, the Purion 200, replacing the simpler controls of the previous model. The drivetrain options include an optional belt drive system, with a choice between a single-speed Enviolo Heavy Duty variator or a 9-speed hub. The brakes have been upgraded to Magura Louise Elite Leisure models, with a larger 180 mm rear disc. The overall weight remains stable between the new and previous versions, with the titanium model weighing 24.9 kg with a 400 Wh battery and the steel version at 28.9 kg.
Despite the enhancements, the price of the Vello Sub remains unchanged, starting at 5,698 euros for the steel version and 7,498 euros for the titanium model. The highest-end titanium version with gears and a 545 Wh battery can reach up to 8,498 euros. The warranty has also been improved, with a lifetime warranty on the frame and a 2-year warranty on the Bosch motor. These updates make the Vello Sub 2 a more capable and durable option for those seeking a high-performance electric cargo bike.
