It’s amazing to see how much the “fit and finish” of these ebikes have evolved. The attention to detail is impressive.
Ok Micah you outdid yourself on this one! Pulling the truck and then the "drama" of the battery plunge were both very amusing!
Thank you! I did have a bit of fun with this one!
BRILLIANT idea for content Micah! This feels like one of those multi million view ideas!! Can’t wait to watch
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I don’t own an e-bike at the moment but hopefully I will in the future. Your videos helps me get a good understanding of what I’m getting into.
Sweet ride. Thank you for the informational videos.
Great review. I love the Velotric line.
Very impressive bike! Wow! Really nice too! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent review and you kept it veryinteresting
Thanks for your support .
Great video thanks ! Love the bike
Your scientific evaluation of this bike cracks me up. I bet you two were having way too much fun.
That's an awesome ebike, thanks for sharing all the Great info about it.
Love the color. Velotirc makes a nice bike.
Very cool idea using the blue dye for effect.
Very good. I got nervous when you submerged the battery but holy cow. If you can do that, riding in rain is nothing.
Came for the unboxing, stayed for the truck pull. Great bike and video. Thanks
Nice bike, and I love the mad scientist look hahaha
that looks like a great bike as i live in a area that has a lot of hills and pot holes.
These OEM bikes are getting nicer and nicer. Still, looking forward to some old school home builds on your channel!
I was thinking the same 👌🏼. I’d like to see some more diy videos 😁. Batteries or controllers etc.
Sure thing, guys. I have some stuff planned! Too many ideas, not enough days in the week! But stay tuned 😎
I wondered if you could do hillclimb testing on all the bikes you review. That's an easier test for me to relate to since I know how my ebike climbs hills. Thanks for the great videos.
Cool thing you are doing.
Nice bike, cool color.
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.
That's a pretty good commuter!
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.
That is a nice looking e-bike!
Great video . Thank youuu

Haha, thank you buddy, and thanks for the support!
Great looking bike ... like the color too. What kind of mileage is there in this size bike?
Amazing 😮
Very nice😊
That is one Heavy battery it smashed that plastic tub you used in the test, although it seems to have more than enough capacity even with a heavy rider and battery/bike
Can I ask for your advice ? Want to buy a conversion kit 48 V and 1000 AH .I have a battery 48 V ,13 AH ,is this strong enough ?Thanks for your reply .
How is the sodium batteries coming? Are they any closer to coming out?
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 am going to France to buy an bike and tour with. What bike do you recommend I should buy?
I find rear hub motors are very herky jerky....how does this bike feel when you first start off...does the power stop when you stop pedaling?
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!
What is your choice of helmet?…I bought a nutcsse street with mips…it seems soooooo big
Nice bike.
Can you review the Stark Varg you will really like it! (:
Sir big big fan!!! may I ask if you can use those 48v LifePO4 (51.2V labeled) on these 48V ebikes? thank you!!!
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!
Do you know their shipping options outside the US?
Let me know what do you think TVS XL100cc anything like that electric bicycle?
Do i need to resubmit my ebikeforgood form?
Please get in contact with me I'm having a problem figuring out what type throttle to buy for the controller for my 1000 w 47 volt I just started building electric bikes from kits my controller and throttling bad I bought a correct controller but I do not know how to find the throttle to match the controller
Nice
TVS XL100cc moped frame you can also use it for electric bicycle
It would be interesting, great even, if they had a full suspension version. I can tell you once you've gone full suspension there's no going back!
How is paddling once battery dies?
I like back rack on and mud fenders
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 !!
You can take the key out while riding.
great to know !! Thanks You make what looks to be an excellent product.The quality is apparent, the fit and finish is very attractive !@@OB-VelotriceBike
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.
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.
@@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
I wish you had the sound of the motor while going around town. I've been waiting for Euphree to offer a 750 watt hub on their robin x.....they now have a 750 hub but that thing has to be the most annoying sound. Now, I'm shopping around for something else....which is fun/not fun ;)
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.
How about some wheelie action Micah!
Does the battery have to be on for the apple air tag to work?
Hi @hardyharr1361 no it does not. The air tag will work if the bike is powered off.
@@VelotricEbike thank you.
Over 70lbs with battery?
So awesome wish I could win 🤞
Not enough difference to justify "upgrading" from the Discover 1. Also, no Android support? Why Apple only? Also, the lack of a upper bar is a deal breaker. All the force is at one point.
IN IND 2024 newly launched XL 100cc moped totally different anything that shape electric bicycle look for that moped frame I like it
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
You are the problem.
Guess what if you fallow the "law" it becomes real.
If you don't it goes away.
Want an example!
In Italy the tried to introduce tax on the first home.
Some people paid most didn't it went away.
I'm running a 2kw motor and riding at 70km/h BTW.
I can use it as a car replacement if they take it away it's still cheaper than a years of car insurance.
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
Socialism of EU sucks! Love the freedom and capitalist Murica!
This is just an ad. What are your concerns and downsides to the bike?
Nice bike ,good features but not my color, thanks for the info
But if they are so concerned about hazards and safety, why do They have to extort in the name of UL certified? Why 3 to 5 times cost? Why is the UL, who is concerned about fire and water safety, not concerned about economic safety?
You should borrow Seth's Bike Hacks super low gear cassette
請問台灣有在賣嗎？
Canada needs to open up the option for class3 bikes. We are limited to 500w and 32km/h (20m/h). It's to big here to not go that little bit faster
Where in Canada do you live?

What happens when the AirTag dies the batteries?
Considering my AirTags last a couple years on a watch battery, by the time this drains an e-bike battery, the earth will already be devoid of humans.
Weird bike geometry. Seat tube is way too short
Hey I'm 69 years old would like to know if I could get one of those bikes I am on oxygen and sure would like to get out and smell the fresh air
Cool but it is GIANT!
Yow send me this one really like 😅
I think it’s time for an update to the electric China boat.
Video coming soon. Solar panels and bigger motor - much faster !! Stay tuned

Please I need an electric bike.i am from Africa and this will help me for my long journey from my job place to home (day 01)
Now pull the truck up a 10% grade.
I think the pulling would go the other way in that scenario…
Stating that an IPX6 water protection rating is OK to take to a Car Wash is just plain Horrible advice.
Ingress Protection for water @ a level 6 rating (X6) is OK for 1 Liter @ 15 PSI for 1 minute Max. That's equivalent to Pouring Water from a Bucket, or pressure no greater than Rainfall.
99% of Car Washes use water pressure Starting @ 900 psi and up to 2000 psi which will certainty defeat any water seal rated to IPX6 meaning you've likely forced water into the Battery or Motor.
IPX6 is a Rainfall rating. An IPX7 rating would allow the use of Garden Hose pressure (40 - 80 psi) and would Still be defeated w/ a Pressure Washer.

What was the point with the truck towing? Sorry but the video has way, way too much filler. I am a very loyal fan, tell me about the bike not about things I hope no one does.. Be Safe, Craig.
It's an ugly shopping bike with a big motor, my school was painted that colour above shoulder height, we hated it. desperately overpowered.
I would love to have such a great bike since I have never had an e-bike and I love travelling by bike. 😍🚲🏞️
I enjoyed the ebike video.
