Velotric Discover

What the Velotric Discover is built for

The Velotric Discover is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 750 W motor, 75 Nm of torque and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 706 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 75 miles (121 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Velotric Discover is rated IPX7 against water.

In the United States the Velotric Discover sells for $1,499, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Velotric Discover may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Velotric Discover safety certification

The brand states that the Velotric Discover is certified to UL 2271 and UL 2849.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
