Velotric Discover 2
Effortless Power, Effortless Joy
Velotric has changed the game in regards to what you can get out of an electric bike at this price point. The second generation bike brings to the table new technology like sensor swap, an updated full color screen, and an incredibly refined power delivery through their Velopower Drive System. Although many manufacturers send out surveys asking dealers what we want to see in new products as dealers, Velotric actually sent their entire team out to visit us here at BBB HQ and the results of that hard work on their end truly shows. We were so impressed with the genius of the sensor swap technology as it makes the bike approachable for riders looking for true ride feel out of a hub drive motor system but still doesn't elimante those wanting to ride via cadence sensor. On top of that, you can see small touches of refinement throughout the entire build spec because Velotric is one of the few electric bike brands born out of the bike boom that have stuck around long enough to produce second generation products. Little details like the quality of the kickstand, the user interface on the Velotric App, and cable integration are design cues that even some bikes on the higher end can't touch and so with that said our hats are off to Velotric on this one. If you are a current Velotric Discover D1 rider and are looking for your next bike, look no further for your upgrade, it's worth every penny.
