The Velotric Discover 2 is a sophisticated all-purpose e-bike that exceeded my expectations for performance and rider experience.
Velotric Discover 2 e-bike review: a premium ride for a not-so-premium price MSRP $1,900.00 Score Details “The Velotric Discover 2's thoughtful and incredibly practical features show the designers' dedication and care.” Pros Cons I was surprised by the Velotric Discover 2, the handsome red e-bike with a convenient step-through frame in the photo above.
The bike has an adjustable front fork suspension, but no rear suspension, suspension seat post, or wide fat tires to ease the jarring effect of riding over ruts, rocks, and speed bumps. However, the ride was so smooth that I began to look forward to riding over speed bumps without hesitation. The standard MIK HD-compatible rear rack fits a growing array of third-party bags, baskets, cases, and seating options that attach and detach easily. It’s not as long or heavy as a typical cargo bike, but the Discover 2 has a surprisingly high maximum 440-pound load capacity.The Discover 2’s thoughtful and incredibly practical features show the designers’ dedication and care.
E-bikes are increasingly subject to concerns about battery fires, so it helps to know that the Discover 2 has a UL2271-certified battery with an IPX7 waterproof rating. The Discover 2’s 48-volt, 705.6 watt-hour battery uses Samsung/LG cells and should fully charge with the 3A fast charger in five hours.
I tried pedaling without any battery assistance and found it was only OK. E-bikes are heavier than regular bicycles and while the Discover 2’s rider geometry allowed me ample room to extend my legs while pedaling, I’ll choose battery power assistance when riding this bike.
