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.

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.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Were you able to use our coupon code (in video description) to save $60? There are plenty of accessories at the Velotric web site. We linked to many MIK options (on Amazon) in the description, too. Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy riding! -Producer Tim Thanks

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!!

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

I prefer the more upright riding position of the Discover 2 as it's more comfortable for me on longer rides. The turn signals and cruise control are a big positive to me as well that the Level.2 does not have. To be fair, the Level.2 has been out for a while now and I would guess a new version (Level.3) would be coming out somewhat soon. When it does, stay tuned because we will be sure to review it! 🤓 Thanks for watching and commenting.

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?

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

The cable management on the Discover 2 is better than average, but not exceptional. We didn't find it distracting. Thank you for articulating what you find most helpful about our review. The video description contains a great deal more information along with helpful links.

Okay that’s good to know (about the cables). Thanks so much!

[@nwethicalfn1989]

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

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Thanks for subscribing. As written in the video description: The bike frame size is M/L and Miss GoElectric is 5'11" -Producer Tim

[@Larrys-Views]

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?

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Miss GoElectric is 5'11". We've included many details in this video description including a discount link and a coupon code for $60 off this eBike. Happy Riding! -Producer Tim

[@carol9762]

Is the motor motor loud?

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

The nose level is typical of the category. All of the on trail footage in this review captures the sounds of the environment while Miss GoElectric is talking. -Producer Tim

[@kencook4956]

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

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate you tuning in and we will take your feedback into consideration! 🤓

[@barry7920]

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.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Thank you for watching and commenting. You'll find dozens of other eBike reviews along with coupon codes at deals.missgoelectric.com -Producer Tim

[@jdubdoubleu]

Too bad they don't have any in stock 😥

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

The demand must be incredible. There is a four week wait right now. We have many eBike reviews and coupon codes posted at deals.missgoelectric.com -Producer Tim

[@TravelingThruLife]

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

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Hello. Producer Tim here! Sunny days result in harsh shadows and blown out highlights. You'll find the greatest clarity on overcast days. Cinematographers love overcast days. When filming many eBike reviews in the spring, we take advantage of any day which is not raining to get productive. We hope you found this review to be highly informative and beneficial for the buying process. -Producer Tim

LOL......Even with the HORRIFIC customer complaints, poor quality control and poor customer service with Velotric.....I 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.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

This is false. We own 6 Velotric bikes and have reviewed them on this channel. Many of our neighbors and family members have Velotric bikes, too. With dozens of bikes in our sphere of influence, there have been zero complains of any kind. In fact, over 25,000 viewers have had the opportunity to comment and yours is actually the FIRST negative (venomous) comment. The data is not in favor of this being a widespread problem. Velotric has a 2 year warranty and over 1,000 physical service locations in the USA. -Producer Tim

@@MissGoElectricRideReviews Thank you for not deleting my comment. It is negative, Other reviewers have removed my negative Velotric comment immediately which is concerning. This brings me to Velotric's website and how people in forums have mentioned their negative reviews are NOT posted by Velotric. They get an email stating Velotric has a right as to which reviews to share. I only know 2 people that "had" Velotric bikes. Issues were a faulty control module and battery connection failure. While fixable, it was a headache for them to diagnose the issue, weeks lost riding and they spent hours on the phone. Velotric owner forums are riddled with these stories along with difficult customer service. Again, I'm still considering Velotric in hopes quality and customer service has been improved....Could be good now. I'm not out to bash a company, I'm an educated consumer and feel my efforts researching should be shared.
