Velotric Discover 2 Review ($1899 All Purpose Commuter eBike)

Last year we reviewed more than 20 eBikes. The Velotric Discover 1 was the most popular purchase among our viewers due to a low price point and a strong set of features. This year, Velotric has outdone themselves with a new and improved Discover2. The new motor enables it to tow upwards of 800lbs and the new battery can be submerged in water for 30 minutes! The bike delivers many other steps forward, and perhaps, a couple steps back. Join Miss GoElectric for a thorough explanation, ride review, and thoughtful conclusions.

[Definitely]

I bought my bike on 11/20/24..I can only say it is a Beast. Solid bike, well built and powerful. Like the safety features great brakes, lights and turn signals. Battery lasts a long time unless you throttle only.

good review. I appreciate you outlining what you like and don't like

My bike was delivered today tI had an Ebike shop put it together well worth the cost. The owner of the shop delivered it and gave me a tour of the features, I got the same mint color I love it. Wow what a comfortable ride.I am so glad I bought this bike. I have a disability so the low step through and the hydraulic fork is great. I am looking forward to many miles of joy. I am looking for a bag for the back.

First time on your channel and wow!, what a fantastic, thorough review. Thanks for the clear explanations as well as the pros and cons of this bike. It is on my very short list. I’m between this and the Aventon Level.2 and the euphree Stellar Falcon. I noticed you reviewed the Aventon. Between that and this bike, which would you buy? Thanks!!

[lolabelle]

What ebike do you have for your personal use? I just can't decide...am 65 and 5'4". Thanks for your excellent reviews!

Looks like Velotric has put a nice package together. Shimano and a Torque Sensor makes it smooth. And the App and USB ports controls are great. I have years riding road and mountain bikes. Thus test driving E-bikes with Fat tires is not my favorite. Like a Truck. I have a two year old Rize City MD that is similar to this bike except with motor separate from the wheel. It has a much stronger rack on the back. I modified with a seat to ride tandem. Obviously not Rize approved. Put BMX pegs on the back axle.

Im just now starting to research my next e-bike (ready for an upgrade). As silly as it sounds, I completely agree with you about the subtle branding on the Discover 1 and I also love the softer colors with the addition of the gum tires. However, like you said this version has a ton of great upgrades that I can’t deny like the 750w motor, screen tech, torque sensor, turn lights. If only it had the key fob lock tech like the Radster. Thank so much for explaining and talking through the different modes - eco vs turbo. None of the other videos I’ve watched have explained that part clearly like you did. I guess this one is getting added to list for consideration.

One question, what are your thoughts on the cable management. Compared to the D1, it looks like the cables are just everywhere. Is it as noticeable or distracting in person?

Excellent review. Trying to decide between Velotric and Amia Santa Monica.

[noclueforaname]

great video. a new subscriber! I have a question- how tall are you and did you get the regular size or large size?

[blacbraun]

I wish I could get this bike in Canada. I have the Aventon 500.3 and it's great. I think ebikes are only allowed to have 500w motor here and the Discovery 2 has a 750w one so perhaps that's the reason. Would like to smuggle one north ;)

This is not a high performance road or mountain bike, but as a comfortable, all around recreational bike, I agree it seems both well designed and well priced. It also seems more practical than the big, heavy fat-tired bikes that have been all the rage.

[LarrysViews]

I'm going to order this bike for my wife. We have no dealers near us. I see you were riding a large frame. How tall are you?

[kencook]

Nice review. Perhaps a little more information on range and hill climbing would be a way to make your very good reviews even better.

[imthatguy]

Was riding on this trail on that bike legal in your state? Keep in mind this is a class 2 ebike

[wkw]

with the HORRIFIC customer complaints, poor quality control and poor customer service with still find myself considering this bike. They did very well listening and delivering a product that checks off all the boxes for a wide range of consumers....I wonder if they will deliver on improving the quality and service. Research Velotric issues and it's scary. Imaging spending 1700 + tax USD for dreams of gliding along and you only get headaches of long phone calls, trouble shooting a list of issues...or weeks in a bike shop, not good at all.

[jdubdoubleu]

Too bad they don't have any in stock 😥

[TravelingThruLife]

Lol, maybe wait for a sunnier day for the ride test?
