The price above is for the bike as shipped, matching Velotric’s online pricing. For complete setup — final assembly, professional setup and adjustment of all components, a free 200-mile adjustment, and priority warranty service — add the “Pro Setup & Assembly” item ($99) to your cart, and we’ll have it dialed in and ride-ready when you pick it up. This is required if you are using a WE-Bike Rebate.
The Discover M is Velotric’s first mid-drive, and it’s a real step up for riders who want serious power that still feels like a bike. At its heart is the new VeloCore™ mid-drive motor: 500W nominal, 960W peak, and a stout 100Nm of torque (up to 130Nm of support). Because that power is delivered at the cranks instead of the rear wheel, it works through the Shimano 9-speed drivetrain — so steep climbs that would bog down a hub motor get pulled flat with ease. Pair that with a big 801.6Wh removable battery good for up to 95 miles of range (around 70 on throttle alone), and you’ve got a commuter that erases hills and range anxiety in one shot — the kind of mid-drive performance that usually costs well over $3,000.
The tech matches the muscle. Velotric’s SensorSwap™ lets you switch between a torque sensor (responsive, “amplified legs” support for hills and technical terrain) and a cadence sensor (smooth, effortless cruising). Auto Mode uses an inclinometer to adjust to hills automatically, so you can leave it in one gear and just ride. There’s also a dedicated thumb throttle — rare on a mid-drive — plus one-touch Class 1/2/3 switching (up to 28 mph where permitted), full ride tuning, NFC unlock, Apple Find My and Android Find Hub tracking, OTA updates, and a bright, sun-readable 3.5″ color display. Velotric’s ComfortMax™ package rounds it out with an adjustable 80mm air-suspension fork, a suspension seatpost, and an upright, ergonomic riding position for long, smooth miles.

Precise power, natural experience. The Discover M is Velotric’s first mid-drive commuter, built around the VeloCore™ system — power delivered at the cranks for climbing that feels effortless and assist that syncs to every pedal stroke. With Auto Mode reading the terrain for you, a large 801.6Wh battery for genuinely long range, and ComfortMax™ suspension front and rear, it turns hills, headwinds, and long hauls into easy miles.
