    This is a great e-bike for high speed and water resistant qualities but my Vanpowers Urbanglide Pro has much more torque for slower speeds up to 20mph. I also think the motor on mine is much quieter then the Velotric Discover 2. All e-bikes have their positive sides and negative sides ....it all comes down to what matters most to you.

    Would be nice if it was belt driven, would be more water proof then. Chains have their advantages, but I prefer belt drives or rear hub motors for e-bikes. Less maintenance and don't have to worry about crap slinging on your pant leg.

    • @ElectricVehicleSpace
      @ElectricVehicleSpace  8 місяців тому

      you cant have it all also it will require a gear hub and more weight and complications. I think it is perfect the way it is. Chains are also cheap and easy to replace.

    I do not agree with most of these negative commenters but I will say there are sprays available that will neutralize the salt residue and that would be a good idea to use it around the electrical contacts. I live by salt water and it can be nasty on just about any metal. But great review!

    This is a beauty!! wow...in RED...I have to get me one of these!!! About the Find My feature. Is this just an airtag or somethng else? Is this something a thief could easily remove? The shock absorber-did you say that it cannot be locked up? but the shock absorbtion amount can be adjusted? I sometimes don't like too much shock absorption when riding my Radcity 5 plus across the city. This velotric is A fabulous next generation ebike. It reaches dangerous speeds!! 31mph is a lot! You are a NYC road warrior!! THe Looks solid.Thanks for the great video. So much effort went into this. Bravo

    Wow! You compared it to Specialized and Trek. They only have middrive bikes and this is a hub motor. Specialized and Trek are like the Toyota and Honda of bikes when it comes to quality and reliability. Plus, you can't match with the many decades of history they have in perfecting manufacturing. You really can't compare. This is in the same class of Aventon, Rad Bikes, HeyBike, etc.

    • @ElectricVehicleSpace
      @ElectricVehicleSpace  8 місяців тому +1

      Trek and Specialized have less experience in the e-bike sector and are copying what smaller brands are doing also have hub drive versions. You need to research more.

    • @HullioGQ
      @HullioGQ 8 місяців тому

      @ElectricVehicleSpace, Specialized has been producing e-bikes for the past 5 years, but I'm uncertain about Trek's duration in the market. While both companies offer hub motor bikes, I personally haven't witnessed any being ridden on our local streets. Interestingly, they don't actively promote these bikes, as they serve primarily as loss leaders for the company. Specialized is renowned for its Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero models, with the only hub drive being the Globe Haul cargo bike. Despite being perceived by some as late entrants to the e-bike industry, it's undeniable that they've invested heavily in research and development, releasing more ebike models than many smaller e-bike-specific brands combined. It's worth noting that most smaller e-bike brands don't actually manufacture anything; they simply purchase pre-made parts and assemble them, then affix their logo.

    • @ElectricVehicleSpace
      @ElectricVehicleSpace  8 місяців тому +1

      @HullioGQ I would not buy a specialized or trek bike when better cheaper options are available also more advanced. Trek and specialized are not leaders in bike/ebike development.
