5 years agoIt’s good to see Ohm out with a new model after the huge challenge they faced with Bion-X just calling it quits. That said, this does seem to be a bit under-whelming performance wise vs their old models. I think they should have gone all in on the best performance Shimano 8000 motor if that is their new motor brand of choice. I would think the cost difference can’t be that significant relative to the perception it provides and Ohm may need that now.
Don’t take me wrong as I still believe they are one of the premium ebike brands but maybe the bean counters are being allowed into the design meetings and that’s never a good thing.

5 years agoThanks for the feedback, Ken. I like Michael (OHM founder) and empathize with the difficulty of making these products and finding a workable business model, but yeah, I also prefer the E8000. For what it is, the OHM Discover was a satisfying product during my rides, I hope the review helped to answer questions and provide deep insights into the bike for you :)

5 years agoIt may be crazy to buy a bike sight unseen, but in this case I think it is worth it. I watched hours and hours of your videos for the past few years. I always wondered about getting an ebike. I have 4 bikes right now, a carbon specialized Roubaix, a tern node folder, a Surly long haul trucker and a vintage 1958 Raleigh grand prix that is really just there for looks. I used to love going on very long rides, on the Roubaix, but I bought my trucker and folder for either when I wanted to ride on canals, or bike trails at home or when I was on the road.
This Quarantine and stay at home orders, did not include riding bikes in Arizona, so I stepped up my bike riding and it really has all been on the trucker. I live on the edge of the Phoenix valley, so any ride into town is all slightly downhill and fun.. any ride home.. well you get the picture.. you could walk past me if you were a fast walker. Then a friend of mine said he got an electric bike in Utah that allows him to get up the mountain and ride down the trails. He is 65 and I am 59 this year, he said that he loves it, absolutely wishes he got one sooner.
Forgive the long comment, but I looked into converting my Surly LHT, but that won’t work really, it’s already heavy without a battery and motor and the rest. So, I watched your videos.. again, I don’t need a bike to make me go fast. Fast isn’t that important anymore, I do want to go further and since 1/2 of my ride is mostly downhill, I don’t even need a HUGE motor.. just that powering up the ride home and those last 5 miles are consistently uphill and on a busy street. I chose the Ohm Discovery, because it seems like the perfect package for me. I don’t want a throttle, I don’t really like suspension, I tend to crank it down so that it doesn’t move. I won’t be riding off road in the desert but will be in gravel. They told me that I can still return the bike (at my cost for shipping) within 30 days, and that is a risk I will take.. I looked at Specialized, but the closest bike to the discover was about $800 more. Trek the same.. there were some cheaper options, from the local bike shop, but they really look like bikes with a battery and motor attached.. the frames didn’t looks solid, no internal wiring.. etc. Anyway, my bike will arrive in a bout a month or so (perfect timing for my birthday). The guys up there at OHM seem very friendly and it would be good if they were my local shop, but there are plenty of shops that can work on Shimano drives here in Arizona.
Thanks for the review, I watched this one and the quest, and they were both helpful. I plan on putting many miles on the bike as I have on my other bikes.

5 years agoSounds like a great time! I really hope that you enjoy the OHM Discover, it sounds like you’re quite the cyclist with so many models. For me, it’s one of the nicer products out there, and I really like the people who run the company. Good luck, and thanks again for sharing, Chris!

5 years agoThanks again Court for all the great reviews I agree. I have only communicated via email or phone and the Ohm guys are super responsive and nice. Velofix has already contacted me about the delivery which will me in about a month, maybe sooner. I know that during this virus that a lot of people have come back to cycling. Even at my age I remember how my Raleigh 3 speed made me feel when I was 13 years old, the freedom and peace when cruising down a road. We get attached to our bikes. I will be selling off my carbon fiber road bike. Just too many near misses and people that take my route getting hit and killed by distracted drivers. Be I am lucky that my city is striving to be a platinum bicycle city with wide mile lanes, paths , canal rides and even bike rest areas. I will come back and update after I get my bike. But I keep watching videos to make sure it was the right choice. And I am still excited about the discover.

4 years agoI just got my bike and there is a new upgraded display. Much bigger and easier to read. Lots of info as well. Cadence, range, time. Odometer avg mph highest mph etc. I love the bike. All the upgrades, like seat, tires, pedals, tack, metal fenders, grips etc are included. Very sturdy and level 1 is fast enough for me, I like how eddixiebt it is.

4 years agoSweet! So glad you’re enjoying the bike, Chris. Thanks for the update about their new display, it sounds awesome :D

4 years agoSorry, that last crazy word wast Efficient. In Eco mode it will run forever. Well over 100 miles! I tend to ride in Eco or normal and put it in High for hills. So fun… I feel like superman.

4 years agoI’ve been looking for a good ebike that meets my needs for a fast commute in an area with a lot of hills and have been considering this bike for a while. Unfortunately, the cost (including shipping) seems to have increased substantially over the past year and it seems really hard to justify spending $3,800 USD for this bike when you compare it to something like a Dost Kope. Do you have any input or thoughts on why the price has increased so much over the past year? It’s also really disappointing to see that this bike is limited to 20 mph. I know for many cyclists 20 mph is fast, but as someone who regularly rides ~25 mph on flats without a motor, I would like to see class 3 bikes become more common.

4 years agoHi Tom! I feel ya… several other companies have been raising prices recently too. That includes big names like Specialized! I think the supply chain issues have caused a shortage, and prices for parts have also been going up due to high demand. This combination of forces is causing prices to rise :/ I do like DOST products, and they seem to be steady at the moment, but they are backordered until August now I think.
