I have been watching reviews for a couple weeks now and this was the best, most informative review I have found yet. Thank you for all of the information. My husband just bought the Sumit 1 and I need to step up to an E-bike so we can keep riding together. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment, Jeanne!
This was a great review. Thank you!
You're welcome :)
Wow, everything I need to know. Velotric should hire you.
I appreciate the feedback. I don't think they'd pay as much as my day job. :)
Good review
Thank you!
this is a fire review
I appreciate it!
Well done
Thank you!
Is 63 lbs weight including the battery? Thank you - this is a very well-done review.
Yes, I believe that includes the battery. Thank you!
I lke this bike! In red of course! I have a Radcity 5 Plus now and I like it too, but this velotric is a step forward for sure. About the Find My feature-I installed an airtag hidden in my bike but I have to replace the battery once a year. On this velotric 2 is there an airtag built in? can it be removed by thieves? Do I need to replace the battery? Just curious. My current bike is 65lbs and I see that the velotric is also 65lbs or so. Mine feels heavy and pedaling without motor assistance is not easy, but doable. Also I changed mine to class 3 but I only get as fast as 32km hr-here in Canada the Rad bike has a 500watts motor. I'm fine with 32km (or bit more if I pedal hard!)-the bike does feel a bit shaky at higher speeds. I hope this velotric is more sturdy. I'm in Canada and Velotric doesn't ship here so I may have to drive to Buffalo NY and get one...soon...Thanks for the video
Thanks for the comment. I think there's a chip installed in the controller that has gps/find my features built in that is wired to the battery, so you don't need to change an airtag battery.
Nice review, thanks. One thing, having not ridden one yet, I don’t know why you would like a pedal sensor over a torque sensor. You say because it makes you pedal hard at higher speeds. My question is, isn’t that what the throttle’s for? Thanks again.
Thanks. Correct, a torque sensor makes you pedal harder at higher speeds. I personally prefer a cadence sensor because I'm lazy, and want to leisurely pedal to achieve the top speed. While I can hold the throttle down it gets tiring constantly twisting a throttle or pushing a lever down. Sometimes I ride with one or no hands on the handlebars, and just pedal. I hope this clarifies what I meant.
@@ColinLeung It does, yes. I’m picking up my first e-bike soon (should be at bike shop tomorrow) and I think it has the answer. While it has a torque sensor, it also has a cruise control. I’m 63, and want to get a little exercise, as well, so it all makes sense. That’s why there’s more than one type of bike! Thanks for your videos!
@@skeller61 You're welcome. Let us know how you like the ebike!
Amazing review.....unfortunately Velotric is best at hiding negative reviews/customer experiences from the past couple years on their bikes. The Discover 2 is having issues with failing controllers. After reading about this in Velotric groups I figured it was just a rare occurrence for a new complicated system. I went to test ride ebikes and the owner said they had a Discover 2 in the back, it couldn't be out on the floor due to "issues" ... I asked if it was a controller issue and they said "YEP" I guess it's NOT so rare of an occurrence.
I have never seen an e-bike review where the reviewer talks about customer service. Anyone who did probably would not get any bikes to review. There is a huge need for a well funded channel that can buy their own bikes and do long term tests .
Thank you. That's unfortunate, and I have not ridden it long enough to experience the controller issue. Hopefully it's something Velotric can repair with a firmware update, or send new controllers if they fail.
@@DM-fp8uw Yes, unfortunately ebikes are quite expensive, and you would need a lot of money or high viewership to bring enough monetization to cover the costs of the ebikes.
Most sponsors that offer ebikes in exchange for reviews do not want negative comments said about their product as it would steer away sales.
@@DM-fp8uw I've been thinking the same.
That weight pull was a joke 🙄
