9 reasons not to buy

The Discovery Yorkville is only offered in one size and color.
A tester of the Yorkville LE complains of uneven power distribution across pedal assist levels, adding that PAS 1 is too weak and PAS 5 is too strong.
The Discovery Yorkville is heavy at almost 65lb.
The entry-level Tektro HD-E350 brakes provide below-average stopping power in testing. Reviewers also report that they squeal.
An expert complains the faux leather grips move around while riding.
The 640mm handlebars feel too narrow for a 5’11” tester.
The iGO Ride app is clunky and not useful, according to a reviewer.
The Discovery Yorkville LS doesn't have bottle cage mounts.

Bottom line

The iGO Discovery Yorkville is a commuter e-bike available in two builds: 350W mid-drive (LS) and 500W hub-drive (LE). There is only one expert review of each build. Both reviewers praise the smooth and responsive motor assistance, comfort, and accessories. The Yorkville Discovery LE's long range impresses, but testers complain that power isn't evenly distributed across PAS levels. The lack of color or size options, high weight, and basic brakes are especially disappointing at this price. Nonetheless, testers consider the Discovery Yorkville a good but overpriced commuter option.
