You may have learned by now but, you do NOT have to go into the settings to change between ECO, TRAIL and BOOST. Just press the button right under the MINUS (-) button to toggle between the three modes. Otherwise...good review.
It's pretty hard for the industry to beat right now! Competition breeds innovation and I'm stoked to see what this next year will bring us in the Ebike realm.
Thanks for this! I'm really liking what you guys are doing with the individual reviews and category comparisons (with some fun. Love the water and polarized glasses tests 😂). I was between this bike and the Lectric Xpress, and the deciding factors were frame (wanted a high step for better rigidity), torque sensor tuning (seems easier to maintain top speed on the Xpress), and price. I went with the Xpress, but still really like the Discover 2 as well. Both seem like top choices for urban commuters / general fitness bikes
Thanks for the kind words!! I hope your XPress is everything you need it to be! Would love an update to see how it holds up after you get some miles on it!
@@MicromobilityIndustries I just took my first long-ish ride (32 mi) and wrote a bit on it on red it. Call me a huge fan of Lectric's take on a torque sensor. I'm probably not a typical ebike rider in that my focus is exercise and just want a bit extra speed/distance and assist for some raised pedestrian crossings. But on PAS1 I got 8% battery loss over 32 mi, which would mean up to 400 mi total range for the way I ride! Admittedly it was mostly leg powered, but I really like how Lectric provided a very efficient platform if I'm willing to put in the work. My previous bike was an ultra simple cadence, and there's no way I could make a tenth those numbers without turning off the motor completely
Yes! You can do it in the app, or in the menu, both of those are kind of cumbersome. Brands like Troxus have a simple button that swaps between modes on the go, which is pretty cool.
Possibly, but I'm not sure. After further researching I think it's a combination cadence+torque sensor, where a cadence sensor is responsible for activating PAS, and a torque sensor controls the level of power.
@@MicromobilityIndustries There is a new firmware just out, adds a way to switch between cadence and torque sensor in the app. The Discover 2 really goes in Boost using the cadence sensor mode.. but so does the battery life if take full advantage. Feels like they adjusted the torque side too, but after riding a few days I was able to learn how to get the response that I want.

it seems to be the best bang for buck for someone just getting into Ebikes with all that it offers and quality wise.

Great review thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Have y found how to put it in cadence mode?
Yes! You can do it in the app, or in the menu, both of those are kind of cumbersome. Brands like Troxus have a simple button that swaps between modes on the go, which is pretty cool.
Thank you. I updated the app and found the settings.
@@genemcloud4114 You're welcome! Happy riding!
I wonder if they can adjust the delay with a firmware update?
Possibly, but I'm not sure. After further researching I think it's a combination cadence+torque sensor, where a cadence sensor is responsible for activating PAS, and a torque sensor controls the level of power.
@@MicromobilityIndustries - If you look on Velotric's website, it is a torque sensor only...not a combination of the two.

They do give us a ton of options to fine-tune our ride, which I appreciate :)
@@AkaBigWurm77 Was the delay fixed with the latest update?
Is that red or orange?
Website says red, but it looks more orange in this video.
It's red. I might have messed up the color correction when editing 😬
@@MicromobilityIndustriesbetter known as Cherry Crimson 😎
@@jimhitchcock5837 It's a nice pop of color!
@@MicromobilityIndustriesYep. I described it yesterday on a FB Velotric blog and described it as 'eye popping' 🤓
@@jimhitchcock5837 That the best way to describe it :P
