The Velotric Discover1 is a fun, lightweight, approachable cruiser electric bike that looks as good as it rides. Hopping up on the saddle is a piece of cake and it comes in six different colors. The Velotric Discover1 is equipped with a 500-watt hub motor mounted in the rear wheel. The Discover1 can still climb some pretty steep hills, and it flies over the flats with ease with a top speed of 20 mph. With a curb weight of just 65 pounds, the Discover1 is a bit lighter than most Ebikes. At the back of the Velotric Discover1 we’ve got a Shimano Tourney derailleur with a 7-speed cassette, paired with a Shimano SIS Index thumb shifter.
The Discover1 has hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors in the front and rear wheels. Combined with the oversized CST 26” x 2.5” road tires, there’s a good deal of stopping power.
