BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

18 reasons to buy
- Velotric’s Discover 3 is available in two sizes and four colorways.
- This bike has switchable torque and cadence sensors.
- All experts praise the comfortable ride, highlighting the upright position, suspension seatpost, air suspension fork, and 2.4” tires.
- At this price point, the fork offers above-average adjustability and has a thru-axle, not the typical QR or nutted axle.
- The Discover 3 performs well in hill-climbing tests by reviewers weighing up to 225lb.
- A 180lb tester gets 37.4 miles of range using max assistance in Class 2 mode on a flat paved route.
- Testers enjoy the “refined” pedal assist feel in torque-sensing mode.
- Reviewers appreciate the Discover 3’s nimble handling.
- The Discover 3 has a MIK HD-compatible rear rack (66lb capacity), lights, a brake light, turn signals, full-coverage fenders, a bell, and a USB-C port for powering devices.
- The Velotric app offers excellent customization options, such as throttle feel (slow, normal, quick), PAS tuning, and light settings.
- Reviewers find the app and display easy to navigate.
- The e-bike class is easily configured via the display, and the speed limit can be set between 12 and 28mph in mile-per-hour increments.
- The display shows battery charge as a percentage and a range estimate.
- The frame has mounting points for a bottle cage and front rack.
- The adjustable stem makes it easier to find the right fit.
- The Kenda tires are puncture-resistant.
- This bike is compatible with Apple Find My and Android Find Hub.
- Velotric’s website has comprehensive product specs and an easy-to-find, high-quality assembly video and owner’s manual.
5 reasons not to buy
- Riders at either end of the stated height ranges may not achieve a comfortable pedaling position.
- A reviewer complains that the Velotric app freezes regularly.
- Testers weigh the bike at 65 and 66lb, not the claimed 61lb.
- One reviewer says it’s easy to accidentally push the button that changes e-bike class.
- Velotric lists the gross max vehicle weight (440lb) instead of the payload capacity (374lb), which could lead users to unintentionally overload the bike.
Bottom line
Few e-bike brands seem to deliver a buyer experience as good as Velotric. Aside from a couple of misleading specs, the brand provides clear, easy-to-access, and thorough information pre and post-purchase. Riders also have full control over motor output through the Velotric app or bike display, letting them configure their preferred ride feel and a mode that matches local e-bike laws. The nimble handling, solid range, impressive comfort, and overall ease of use are the main highlights from testing, which is admittedly very short-term. Longer-term use may reveal quality shortcomings, but otherwise, this Velotric Discover 3 is an impressive e-commuter at a fair price.Expert Reviews
