Velotric Discover 2 Review | 6 Months & an OTA Update Later

The Discover 2 is the first of Velotric’s 2nd generation of e-bikes and a huge leap forward for the brand. We dive into the bike’s features and real-world testing in this Velotric Discover 2 review!

We loved the bike’s wide range of features, but its foundation is solid, too - the Discover 2 felt great to ride and handled exceptionally well. These aspects were thanks to the bike’s comfortable saddle, ergonomic handlebars/grips, great steering control, and stable 27.5”x 2.4” street tires.

Velotric packed the bike full of features and customization options. The bike comes with uncommon things for its price point, like turn signals, a cruise control feature, three riding modes, speed/class adjustability, and more!

In our review, we tested the bike’s speed, range, climbing power, and braking capability. Watch this Velotric Discover 2 review video for all the details!

I was wondering if you can provide me the version of the firmware updates. What V numbers are your display, controller and battery. Also was it just updated this month? My last updates were in August.

Great review on the bike, it is one we are looking at to replace our IGO folding fat tire bikes....if you dont mind revealing the location where those bike trails are, the scenery was stunning

I have the discover 2 and have the option to switch between cadence and torque sensor only on the app. This was an update in August, this is a new video now showing an additional update since August now showing the option available on the display. I can only assume that they sent firmware update this bike as a beta test. I’ve been checking my firmware updates and I have not received any updates since August and still can only switch between cadence and torque sensor on the app. I’m sure they will be rolling this update out to all users once past the testing period. My display is on v056, controller is on v070, and battery on v020. All last updated in August, my app on phone is also up to date.

Ok at 41m06s you show the ability to change between torque and cadence on the display. I thought this was only possible with the app. Please explain how you did this?

thanks for the update. Sounds like a great bike! One improvement would be rear turn signals. IMO lighting is such huge safety factor that I think a brake light and turn signals should be mandatory on all ebikes. Amie and Aventon seem to leading the way in lighting.
I really appreciate the fact that you offer both a excellent video review PLUS a transcript making details more easily accessible.

Does the feature that adjusts the sensitivity of the motor apply to both PAS and throttle? I'd like to set throttle so its a smooth take off and not jumpy. Also. I like the Summit 1 but would like to have a step thru frame but with some light dirt trail /firetrail capabilities. Is there an offroad tire you can recommend to replace the stock tire on the D2? Thanks for another detailed review.

Nice bike for sure...I love it in red!! I have a Radcity 5 plus...I know this one has a 750watts motor. More power but is this a HUGE improvement in handling. biking etc over my Radcity? it sure looks more stylish!

I have a difficult time choose between the Velotric Discover 2, and the Rad Radster Road. Yes 100nm of torque is awesome, but the Discover weight less. And the computers are tuned differently when it comes to power from stop or from pedaling and throttle.
