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.

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.
