Although I own 3 e-bikes already, I just pre-ordered the Discover 2 with a mirror (seems their mirror has a coating like car mirrors), in the Cherry Crimson. I like to pedal. My Como has no throttle and is a mid-motor belt driver auto shifting e-bike that I have to pedal and of the 3 bike I own I enjoy it the most because of the TORQUE sensor. I also own a 2024 Wired Freedom and a Wallke H6 MAX with the dual battery setup, both has cadence sensors. The last two are “Ok” but easily prefer the torque sensor to the cadence sensor. I pleasant surprise was the MIK compatiable rear rack which my Como also has (added the adaptor to my Freedom) for a one trunk bag with all my goodies, not just choose the bike. That quick snap on is great. I'm 70 and although the Freedom and H6 MAX both can take me to over 33 mph, at the end of a ride I feel better when I've ridden the Como. Yes, the Como is expensive compared to all of these other bikes, but still my favorite. We each have difference preferences, thus we probably prefer different bikes. Ride Safe. Yes, Micah, I used your code.

Thank-you for this review... this looks to be a well-thought out and produced ebike. It looks like your attachment point for towing was so high on the bicycle that it was lifting the front wheel off the ground... having it at axle level (or lower) would allow you to to spend less of your energy "controlling" the added instability and more on the actual tow.

@halfbrew70 4 ай бұрын

Question, please. - How do you think the Discover 2 would do maintaining speed up hills? My area has a lot inclines at tunnels and bridges. The problem is, the bottoms of these ramps have sharp turns, so I can't really build up much speed on approach. For short distances, could it keep up with traffic at 20 mph? I see cadence sensor bikes doing a pretty good job with it while pedaling. I've not tried torque sensor ebikes before. Just curious how it would handle it, as I hear that torque sensors require more and continued effort from the rider. Thanks for your reviews!

@_Doc_Holiday 4 ай бұрын

My backs messed up so I doubt I could even ride an ebike even though it looks like a lot of fun but will just have to stick to my walking for now. Curious if you have any thoughts about Aptera and if you would ever consider getting one when they come out.

I really hope you respond to this. I have a 48V 1, 000W motor with a controller of 15A rated current and 30A maximum current with a battery of 54V 12.5A The motor spins freely without issue but when I sit on it and accelerate to about 15km/Hr the power cuts off, display refreshes (I am clueless if it's the BMS or controller cutting off power and why} Pls help.

@EbikeSchool 4 ай бұрын

This is usually the BMS cutting off due to a protection firing, such as low voltage or high current protection. Could indicate a weak battery cell, high resistance connection somewhere, or other issue in the battery.

@oloyedeifeoluwa2072 4 ай бұрын

@@EbikeSchool Thank you for your reply. I am confused as the technician who built the battery said it's because the battery has a low current of 12.5 meanwhile the controller will draw 15amps as rated and more. Pls help me clarify this

awesome new bike! I'm in Canada but I will try to get one soon...how does the find my works with this bike? Something like an airtag built in to the frame? will it need batteries replaced once a year? and it cannot be removed by thieves correct? Also, can the amount of shock absorption can be adjusted on the fork? I may not need as much shock absorbtion while riding around the city. I have an ebike now and I installed an air tag in the fork and it works. Of course thieves are always getting smarter...I would love this bike in crimson red!

A great looking E bike, something I would consider buying. The only thing I noticed is the key location is not ideal. Perhaps a folding key, or another location, as the key sticks out, and is in position to get snapped off. A minor detail on what looks to be an awesome product. Great review, thanks !!

I wish the dumb EU would allow these bicycles more people would immediately switch to these e-bikes especially for that price! Our market is „governed“ so that less expensive models do not penetrate the market and the old biking industry is „saved“ from new technology so dumb In Europe we HAVE to pedal in order to get assist until 25km/h 15mp/h and maximum power is measly 250W Even scooters are allowed to just zip with assisting thats exactly why everybody loves them and then they regulated it again

I agree that that is dumb to be illegal. 28mph pedal assist is in practice not that much different than a regular bike and is pretty reasonable, you can ride that fast on regular bikes too and it's not like its effortless to get to 28 with pedal assist

@user619tlsdca5 4 ай бұрын

I notice pulling same amount of weight as putting weight on top of wheel, pulling puts more stress or uses more torque to move. Weight on top of rear cargo is based on the roman arch support of being the weight over the wheel. I tested this with 50lbs, pulling for 5 miles, my ebike shuts down after 3 miles on full throttle ( I have to go at medium or slow speeds of covering distance ) to cool off the motor and battery for a few minutes before riding again. On the rear rack Im going for ever.?> But it is the roman arch physics of supporting the weight at a minimum. Well, Im not going to place a truck on my rear rack, lol. But hope this helps for others to avoid the noids of the physics of CARGO.
