For riders who have spent years on the road, riding is no longer just about getting from point A to point B. It’s about rhythm, control, and the freedom to explore beyond familiar routes.
Velotric Discover M is designed for experienced riders who value natural power delivery, confident handling, and the ability to tackle hills and mixed terrain with ease. As a mid-drive commuter Ebike and cruiser Ebike, Discover M blends everyday comfort with the performance and responsiveness serious riders expect, making it equally capable on city streets, long weekend rides, and light off-road exploration.
At the heart of Discover M is a different philosophy! Power should feel like an extension of your legs, not something that pulls you forward.

Power That Feels Instinctive, Not Mechanical - Velocore™ Mid-Drive Motor
1. What Makes Velocore™ Mid-Drive Motor Different
Most mid-drive motors deliver assist. Velocore™ delivers intelligence. Velotric creates a riding experience that feels less like operating a machine and more like your Ebike instinctively knows what you need. Here's how each component transforms your ride.
✔ Triple-Sensor Fusion: That Feels Like Your Own Legs, Only Stronger
The Velocore™ system uses three sensors working together to deliver assist that amplifies your effort perfectly. The torque sensor reads how hard you pedal, the speed sensor ensures smooth power delivery, and the angle sensor detects terrain gradient in real-time.
-
500W motor, 100Nm torque (130Nm peak): Higher output than Bosch/Yamaha (85 Nm)
-
Wide torque range (10–90Nm): Maintains over 75% efficiency across all terrain
-
9-speed gearing: Optimized for everything from steep climbs to fast cruising
It feels like perfect human-ebike unity. The motor doesn't announce itself with surges or delays, it simply makes every pedal stroke feel stronger, smoother, and more controlled. Climbs that used to require grinding effort become manageable. Technical sections where you need precise power control feel confident and predictable.
This is especially valuable for American riders tackling hilly cities, varied terrain, or off-road conditions where terrain constantly changes. The motor system is designed for riders who need serious torque and sustained power.
✔ Auto Mode: Smart Assist That Thinks for You
Traditional mid-drive Ebikes require constant manual adjustment—shift gears, change assist levels, repeat. Discover M's Auto Mode uses the angle sensor to detect climbs and descents, automatically adjusting motor output so you don't have to.
-
Automatic power adjustment: More assist uphill, less on flats/descents
-
"Set it and forget it" riding: Keep gears in 6-8 range and ride mindlessly
-
Handles steep climbs in high gears: Enough torque to pull you up without constant downshifting
Auto Mode essentially gives your Ebike an automatic transmission for motor assist. Just like driving an automatic car, you set your desired "speed" (by pedaling cadence) and the system handles the rest.
When Auto Mode is engaged, you can keep your gears in the 6-8 range and ride "mindlessly" across varied terrain. Even on steep climbs, Auto Mode delivers enough torque to pull you up without dropping to lower gears, though you still have full manual control when you want it.
You focus on the road, the scenery, your workout goals—not constantly managing assist settings. The Ebike feels intuitively responsive, like it knows what you need before you consciously think about it.
✔ Thumb Throttle: Freedom to Choose How You Ride
Unlike most mid-drive systems that offer pedal-assist only, Velocore™ Mid Drive Motor includes a dedicated thumb throttle for instant power without pedaling.
-
True versatility: Pedal-assist for exercise, throttle for convenience
-
Quick urban starts: Launch safely from stoplights without wobbling
-
Physical fatigue or injury: Ride comfortably when pedaling is difficult
-
Technical terrain: Focus on balance and steering, not pedaling coordination
- Hunting/backcountry: Silent, precise speed control with hands free
Most of the time, you'll probably ride in pedal-assist mode, enjoying the natural mid-drive feel and getting exercise. But when you need throttle for safety ,or convenience, or physical necessity, it's there instantly. The throttle doesn't diminish the cycling experience; it enhances your overall versatility and control.

ComfortMax™ Redefined: Softer, Stronger, Superior
Comfort isn't just about how an Ebike feels when you first sit on it—it's about how your body feels after 30 minutes, an hour, or a full afternoon of riding. Velotric's ComfortMax™ system is engineered into every component to reduce fatigue, smooth out real-world road conditions, and keep you riding longer without soreness or strain.
Here's how three key innovations redefine what comfortable riding should feel like.
1. Softer: Dual-Layer Breathable Saddle That Adapts to You
The dual-layer breathable foam saddle combines soft surface comfort with firm structural support underneath. Unlike standard foam that hardens in cold weather or compresses too much in heat, this ergonomic design adapts to your hip shape and maintains consistent cushioning in all seasons.The result? All-day comfort with no pressure points. You eliminate tailbone pain and numbness even on long rides or winter commutes.
2. Stronger: Adjustable Air Suspension Fork That Smooths Every Bump
The adjustable air suspension fork offers 80mm of travel with user-tunable air pressure, making it lighter and more responsive than traditional coil spring forks. You can customize the suspension firmness based on your body weight and riding terrain—just add or release air to dial in the perfect feel.
Combined with adjustable rebound damping, you control how quickly the fork returns after compressing.
Whether you're navigating potholed urban streets or exploring unpaved trails, the air fork absorbs impacts that would normally rattle through your arms and shoulders, keeping you fresh and comfortable.
3. Superior: Suspension Seatpost That Protects Your Spine
The suspension seatpost features adjustable spring preload and a precision 4-point guiding system that delivers stable, linear shock absorption. Unlike cheap seatposts that create a bouncy "pogo stick" effect, this system provides smooth vertical flex that filters road vibrations without adding unwanted movement.
Absorbs shocks, protects your spine, and reduces back fatigue. Every bump the fork doesn't catch, the seatpost does—working together to create a truly smooth ride. You can ride longer with significantly less lower back soreness, which is especially valuable for older riders or anyone with a sensitive back.

Smart & Personalized Riding: Your Ebike, Your Way
Great Ebikes deliver power. Smart Ebikes deliver the right power for your riding style, terrain, and preferences. Velotric's intelligent personalization system adapts to how you ride, whether you want effortless cruising, athletic workouts, or anything in between.
Here's how four smart features give you complete control over your riding experience.
1. User Profile: Smart Recommendations That Know What You Need
Input your height, weight, and riding scenario, and the system automatically suggests optimal assist levels, pedal sensitivity, and throttle response tailored to you. It's like having a smart co-pilot that knows whether you want an easy cruise, a spirited workout, or efficient long-distance touring.
The algorithm adapts settings so you don't waste time experimenting—just ride, and the Ebike matches your intent.
2. Ride Tuning: Expert Control for DIY Customization
For riders who want complete command, Ride Tuning lets you manually define motor output and pedal assist levels in each mode. Adjust how aggressively the motor responds, fine-tune power curves, and create a riding feel perfectly matched to your body rhythm and preferences.
This is the pro rider's playground! A DIY cockpit where you control every aspect of how the motor behaves, creating a truly personalized ride that commercial presets can't match.

3. One-Touch Class Switching: Instant Compliance, No Tools Required
Different locations have different Ebike regulations. With one-touch Class switching (1/2/3), you instantly adjust speed limits and assist behavior to match local laws—no apps, no tools, no complicated menus.
Ride legally anywhere without worrying about compliance. Perfect for riders who cross jurisdictions regularly or want the flexibility to adapt to different regulations on multi-day trips.
4. SensorSwap™: One Click, Two Riding Styles
SensorSwap™ switch between torque sensing and cadence sensing with a long press of the M button or one tap in the app.
Torque Sensor Mode: Power responds proportionally to your pedaling force
- Best for: trails, hills, steep climbs, technical terrain
- Feel: Athletic, controlled, "amplified legs" sensation
Cadence Sensor Mode: Consistent assist when you're pedaling, regardless of force
- Best for: flat roads, relaxed cruising, high-speed stretches
- Feel: Effortless, smooth, "being gently pushed" sensation
No need to choose between riding styles when buying. Discover M adapts to whatever the day demands.
