    One Year 5500 mile Review Vorsa (Update)

    Thanks for responding. I just sold my Discover 2 to my neighbor. A very well made bike but I kept going back to riding my LMT'D. The Discover 2 was heavier, had only 75 nm of torque, and the riding position was too upright. I didn't care for the mechanical fork either but that has been replaced...

    One Year 5500 mile Review Vorsa (Update)

    Thank you for your review. I'm looking to replace my Ride1up LMT'D V1 with a Vorsa Lite. I have almost 10,000 miles on it. I just ordered a Vorsa 48 tooth chainring to replace the 44 tooth on the LMT'D if it fits. The Vorsa seems to be an upgrade in many respects. A few questions I have. How is...

    Summit 2 vs Discover 3

    The Summit II was in my list of next bikes but the 40 tooth chain ring has me worried too. My go to bike is a Ride1Up LMT'D with almost 10,000 miles but 48 tooth chain ring and even that at times feels the cadence is too fast.

    Velotric Discover II downside found.

    One thing I'm butting my head against with the Discover II. I want to try some long bicycle trips and some bicycle camping. I picked up a Burley Coho XL trailer on Ebay and was going to connect a 100 watt solar panel on top to extend my range. My concern is the plug from the charger to the...

    Velotric Discover II warranty claim.

    Do you have a suggestion on a replacement fork? I like my air fork on my 2nd generation Ride1Up LMT'd better than the spring fork.

    Velotric Discover 2 review

    The throttle should work in both modes and also cruise control. I would contact Velotric support and they will assist you. You have a 2 year warranty.

    Velotric Discover 2 cadence sensor

    So yesterday I tried the cadence sensor option for the first time after downloading it. You can only access it from your phone. Very simple to use. Once it kicked in it was a big surge of power compared to my settings for torque. On torque I have it on boost mode and levels 3-5 depending on...

    Discover II can now switch between torque and cadence sensors!

    Ok, All fixed. Due to replacing my display previously there is a procedure to sync everything. Link is below. I'll give a review once I get out for a ride. The cadence/torque feature just shows up on the phone it seems...

    Discover II can now switch between torque and cadence sensors!

    I've been busy this week and finally tried to download the new software for the cadence/torque sensor upgrade. Well it wouldn't work for me. All I saw was the large bold firmware update and nothing below it. I sent a note to Velotric support and they wrote back. "Thank you for reaching out to...

    Discover II can now switch between torque and cadence sensors!

    Just received the email today stating Discover II can now switch between torque and cadence sensors. No hardware needed just a reflash of the controller. Before this the only bike I knew that could do this was the Euphree Steller Falcom. This is what Velotric stated: Activating the...

    Velotric Discover II warranty claim.

    The fit and finish on the Velotric is much better then Ride1up. The Discover 2 feels heavier then the V1 and the torque is only 75nm vs 95nm. The Discover 2 feels like more effort is needed to get it up to speed from a stop but no problem maintaining speed. They both have torque sensors. The...

    Velotric Discover II warranty claim.

    Hi, I have my 2nd warranty claim on my Discover II. The rear taillight does not come on now in steady or flashing mode. The rear brake light works with both brake handles and the turn signals work. Just the taillight. I opened a service request with Velotric today and I'll share the information...

    Replaced my Kenda tires with Schwalbe Big Ben Plus on the Velotric Discover 2

    So I received my Schwalbe Big Ben Plus 27.5 x 2.15 tires from England yesterday. It was a little cheaper buying them from England with the shipping then purchasing them here. $38.50 each and no tax. I'm sure the Kenda tires are decent but I have had pretty good luck with Schwalbe on my bikes. I...
