    I did not stress about it because depending on your riding mode and terrain, you're looking at a solid all-day usability.

    if you want a bike that requires zero interaction at all times, a hub motor might still feel simpler.

Velotric Discover M Vs Ride1up Prodigy V2

    It's a little different coming from riding a hub motor, but it's also kinda like driving a manual transmission: listen to the motor and be nice to the gears.

  • Brakes & Lights+1 pts

    The brakes are excellent

A Little Help With A Velotric Discover M

  • Motor, Assist & Gears-1 pts

    I’ve noticed occasionally after coming to a stop I’ll go to pedal and the motor just won’t activate, I end up having to use the throttle to get started and then it recognizes that I’m moving and then the pedal motor will engage.

    This is one of the most easy to move through as far as the computer display goes and the app to be able to customize everything and make it operate exactly how you want it to.

    Additionally for the silver variant, it came with shift points de-indexed. I did about 3 full turns to re-index.

    It has a brake light with integrated turn signals, so it's very, very safe.

    I usually use the throttle at stops when there's traffic - sometimes that takes a second to activate too.

    The Discover M gives you more control, but with that comes a little bit more involvement.

  • Handling & Ride Feel0 pts

    The Discover 3 feels very planted and predictable. The Discover M feels a little more responsive, which some riders will love, and others may need a little time to get used to.
