Great review! Now that you’ve had it for some time, do you have an updated review? I’m considering getting this e-bike, and with so many on the market, it’s hard to make a decision. I guess the multipurpose use you described is what I’m looking for, for commuting and trails.
Hi, thank you. I did an update review about a month ago, we still love them and good news is they are even less expensive. Please see the description for discount code. Thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/pQR7cz6KXYI/видео.htmlsi=tRFTOGc2EyyXRo2h
The throttle is very controllable, plus it has a nice walk mode too. I didn’t think I’d use the walk mode but it’s so easy I actually use it occasionally. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your video. Just put my discovery one together today with my son. Just was wondering is there some sort of spacer needed for that front tire during assembly? My second question was going to be about that front suspension being so squishy as you described, but now I know I can adjust it, so thank you for that tip in your video. Overall excellent video. Any info you can provide me would be fabulous. Thank you. Enjoy your E bike.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and it was helpful. There was not a spacer for the front wheel of any kind on either of the bikes I assembled. They did have some weird packaging that was attached to it, that you remove and discard. Yes, we got the suspension dialed in for the road/trail riding we do. I think we'd adjust differently if we went on an off pavement gravel or dirt trail. Thanks for watching.
Just finished watching your video. We are getting ready to buy our e-bikes. We tested the velotric and mokwheel. You mentioned in this video about these spreadsheet you made, with 10 e-bikes. Would you share it with us?
Hi, thanks for watching! I just released another Velotric Discover 1 UPDATE video just this morning, you may want to check it out to see if it sways you any. I'd be happy to share my e-bike compare spreadsheet, please send me an email and I'll send it to you - Gerry.Yates@gmail.com, also here is the updated review video if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/pQR7cz6KXYI/видео.html
Thanks for the feedback, I might do another one later. My first test ride was really exploring the lower levels and finding the happy place, which is Level 2 and moving through the gears as necessary.
@@BDog14157 Yes, L1 & 2 seem to be the sweet spot for us. We took a couple of longer rides (25+ miles) in the last few weeks and like L2 the best and adjust the gears to compensate for inclines. Thanks for watching, enjoy the new ride!
Unlock the speed and the built in governor will go away. You will achieve 5 miles hours more on each assist level. I like to call the 5th assist turbo once unlocked.
@@jimwade2031 it’s pretty easy, they have instructions right on their web site. Check it out here: www.velotricbike.com/blogs/story-landing/how-to-unlock-your-velotric-ebike-s-top-speed
We’ve only had one longer ride at about 30 miles and the battery indicator light only dropped 1 notch. We’re lighter riders at about 150 and there were a few medium hills. I’m guessing the 60 mile range is accurate.
this wasn't really a review, it was 10 minutes of putting it together and 10 minutes of your first ride where you basically say the brakes are awesome and it makes you work which is what you wanted - and you say that on a loop. would love to hear you collect your thoughts and really go over the bike to give it a proper review

Controllable throttle speed is rare. Aero reduction should double range at 12mph vs 20

I changed the sprocket on mine eliminated ghost peddle..
I'm intrigued, please tell me more. What is ghost peddle and which sprocket did you change to?

Great review, Gerry! What Class is the bike and what trail were you on?
Officially Class 2, but can be unlocked in the screen to a class 3 👍
Trail is Ebey Estuary on the east side. There is a west side too.
Good video. Would have liked to see your thoughts on the different pedal assist modes however

@GYATEZ I just got this bike last week and I definitely agree that level 1 and 2 are pretty good for normal riding.

Thanks I did this 👍🤪
just bought this bike today. How do you unlock?

Battery range?
We’ve only had one longer ride at about 30 miles and the battery indicator light only dropped 1 notch. We’re lighter riders at about 150 and there were a few medium hills. I’m guessing the 60 mile range is accurate.

Thanks for the feedback and watching. Maybe I should have called it first impressions or something like that.
Yours make a lot of noise?
Nope, not at all, quiet and silky smooth. Did you hear something?
That’s what we do. We leave our in gear 7 and assist 3 most the time.
