We were thrilled to get our hands on the Velotric Discover 2, and after spending some quality time with this e-bike, it’s clear why it’s quickly becoming a top pick for electric bike enthusiasts. This isn’t just another e-bike; it’s a game-changer, combining power, comfort, and cutting-edge technology in a way that’s rarely seen at this price point. If you’re on the hunt for a reliable and versatile e-bike, the Discover 2 should be at the top of your list.

Velotric may not be the oldest name in the industry, but they’ve made a big splash in a short amount of time. With over 10 million bikes produced and a presence in just about every corner of the US, Velotric is one of the fastest-growing e-bike brands out there. What sets them apart? Expertise, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality. The team behind Velotric brings experience from some of the biggest names in cycling, and their focus on safety and performance is evident in every aspect of the Discover 2.

One of the first things that struck us about the Velotric Discover 2 is its exceptional safety standards. With concerns about e-bike battery fires making headlines, Velotric has gone above and beyond to ensure their bikes are among the safest on the market. The Discover 2 is both UL and TUV certified, which means it has passed some of the toughest safety tests available. This bike has been put through extreme conditions, from scorching desert heat to freezing cold, and it comes out on top every time.

Water resistance is another area where the Discover 2 excels. While most e-bikes are only rated IPX4, meaning they can handle a light shower, the Discover 2 is rated IPX6, with the battery rated IPX7. In other words, this bike can take on rain, mud, and even a good washdown with a pressure washer without missing a beat. The battery is so well-sealed that you could submerge it in water, and it would still work perfectly—something we’ve never seen in an e-bike before.

The Velotric Discover 2 is packed with features designed to make your ride as enjoyable as possible. Here are some of the highlights that stood out to us:

• The 750W motor (peaking at 1100W) delivers 75Nm of torque, providing the power you need to conquer hills and rough terrain with ease.
• The bike’s adjustable Class 1/2/3 settings let you customize your ride, with throttle speeds that can take you up to 28 MPH.
• With a maximum range of up to 75 miles on a full charge using pedal assist, the Discover 2 is perfect for long rides.
• The torque sensor adjusts motor assistance based on your pedaling effort, giving you a smoother, more natural riding experience compared to the typical cadence sensor.
• The bike accommodates a wide range of riders, from 4’11” to 6’4″, and supports up to 440 pounds, making it one of the most versatile e-bikes on the market.
• Comfort is a priority with features like an 80mm hydraulic front fork suspension, adjustable handlebar stem, extended thumb throttle with cruise control, and a low step-through frame that’s easy to mount and dismount.
• Hydraulic brakes provide reliable stopping power, and the Kenda Puncture-Resistant 27.5″ × 2.4” tires offer a smooth, stable ride.
• Tech-savvy riders will appreciate the integration with Apple Find My and Apple Health, which are rare features in this price range.
• The Velotric app, though optional, allows for further customization and tracking, but if you prefer to keep things simple, the bike’s onboard display has you covered.

Velotric backs the Discover 2 with a robust 2-year warranty on the motor and electronics. Additional perks include 15 levels of pedal assist, a rear brake light with turn signals, and a powerful 130 Lux front headlight that ensures you can see and be seen, no matter the time of day.
