  • MSRP: $1,899
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

The Velotric Discover 2 has received a big update, relative to the Discover 1. Leading the way is a more powerful 750W brushless, geared hub motor that produces 75Nm of torque, ‘SensorSwap Technology’ that allows a rider to switch from a Torque Sensor to a Cadence Sensor, and cruise control..

  • MSRP: $2,399

Lectric XP 3.0 Review – Still the Best E-Bike Under $1000?

  • MSRP: $1,305
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

The motor still produces 500W nominally, but peak wattage has climbed from 850 to 1000…...
