Introducing Velotric Discover M: The Mid-Drive Commuter Ebike That Changes Everything

Most commuter Ebikes make you choose: comfort or power, simplicity or performance. The Velotric Discover M refuses that compromise.
This is our first mid-drive motor commuter Ebike, engineered for riders who demand serious climbing power, intelligent assist, and genuine versatility from their daily ride. Whether you're navigating hilly city streets or exploring mixed terrain on weekends, Discover M delivers the torque, control, and adaptability that hub motor systems can't match.

Let's start with why mid-drive motors are becoming the standard for performance-focused riders.

What Makes Discover M Different: Features That Adapt to You

Mid-drive power is just the foundation. What truly sets Discover M apart is how intelligently it delivers that power and how comprehensively it addresses every aspect of the riding experience.

1. Velocore™ Mid-Drive Motor: Power Meets Intelligence

At the heart of Discover M is our Velocore™ Mid-Drive Motor, a 500W system delivering 100Nm torque (130Nm peak) that outperforms Bosch and Yamaha (85 Nm). The breakthrough is triple-sensor fusion. Angle, torque, and speed sensors work together to maintain over 75% efficiency while creating a natural human-bike unity feel.

The most intuitive feature is Auto Mode. Using the angle sensor, the system detects gradients in real-time and automatically adjusts assist, like an automatic transmission. Keep gears in 6-8 and ride "mindlessly" while the motor handles the work, delivering smooth power uphill without constant manual tweaking.

2. ComfortMax™ System: Arrive Feeling Fresh, Not Fatigued

New dual-spring breathable saddle, swept-back handlebars and upgraded air suspension fork. It means you can ride for an hour and step off feeling energized instead of sore. Your back doesn't ache. Your hands don't go numb. You actually want to ride again tomorrow.

3. Smart Personalization: Make the Ebike Work Your Way

Discover M is built around intelligent systems that adapt to both the rider and the terrain. Features like Custom Mode, Auto Mode, SensorSwap™, and Ride Tuning work together to adjust power delivery, and pedal assist levels, automatically or exactly how you prefer.

Custom Mode is an optional advanced speed setting available on the Discover 3 and Discover M. When enabled through the Velotric App, where local regulations allow, it unlocks the throttle in Class 3 and allows speeds up to 28 mph, giving riders more flexibility across different riding environments. You can still switch between Class 1, 2, 3, and Custom Mode anytime directly from the display. (*Please note that due to state regulations, Custom Mode is not available in California but is supported in most other regions.)

You can fine-tune every detail to match your riding style, or simply let the bike respond on its own as conditions change. Either way, Discover M delivers a ride that feels controlled, natural, and intuitive—especially when the road turns steep or unpredictable.

From the very first ride, Discover M feels more composed and more capable. Not louder or more aggressive. Just smarter, smoother, and built for riders who value control as much as power.

Velocore™ Mid-Drive Motor: Power That Thinks for You

1. Intelligent Mid-Drive System Built for Real Riding

Most mid-drive motors just add power. Velocore™ adds intelligence. With a 500W motor delivering 100Nm torque (up to 130Nm peak) and 9-speed gearing, rider get higher output than conventional systems like Bosch or Yamaha (typically 85Nm). It's designed specifically for American riders tackling hilly cities, off-road trails, and constantly changing terrain.

But raw power isn't the advantage. It's how smartly that power gets delivered.

2. Triple Sensor Fusion: Rides Like Your Bike Can Read Your Mind

Three sensors work together to create effortless and natural riding.

• Torque Sensor measures how hard you pedal—push harder, get more assist. Ease up, the motor backs off naturally.
  
• Speed Sensor ensures smooth power delivery across your entire speed range, eliminating surges or delays.
  
• Angle Sensor detects terrain gradient in real-time, recognizing climbs and descents before you consciously feel them.
  

The result? A wide torque range (10–90Nm) maintaining over 75% efficiency across all terrain. Every pedal stroke feels stronger, smoother, and perfectly matched to your effort—true human-bike unity that makes climbs manageable and long rides less fatiguing.

3. Auto Mode: Your Ebike's Automatic Transmission

Forget constantly adjusting assist levels and gears. Auto Mode uses the angle sensor to detect terrain changes and automatically adapts motor output. More power uphill, less on flats and descents.

It's like switching your car to automatic. Keep your gears in the 6-8 range and ride "mindlessly" across any terrain. Even on steep climbs, Auto Mode delivers enough intelligent torque to pull you up without dropping gears. You focus on the road and the ride. The Ebike handles the rest.

4. Thumb Throttle: Freedom to Choose How You Ride

Unlike most premium mid-drive systems (Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano) that offer pedal-assist only, Velotric Discover M includes a dedicated thumb throttle for instant power without pedaling.

Relax your legs, enjoy the scenery, or power through traffic with a push of your thumb. Perfect for quick urban starts, navigating congestion, resting tired legs on the way home, or focusing entirely on technical terrain without worrying about pedaling.

ComfortMax™ Redefined: Softer, Stronger, Superior

Comfort isn't about how an Ebike feels when you first sit on it, it's about how your body feels after an hour of riding. ComfortMax™ eliminates fatigue, absorbs real-world impacts, and keeps you riding longer without soreness.

Softer: Breathable Dual-Layer Saddle

Adapts to your body in all seasons. Dual-layer breathable foam conforms to your hip shape and won't harden in cold or soften in heat. All-day comfort, zero pressure points. Eliminates tailbone pain and numbness even on long rides. Consistent support reduces hip and lower back strain, so you ride for hours without soreness.

Stronger: Adjustable Air Suspension Fork

Custom-tuned to your weight and terrain. The 80mm air fork is lighter and more responsive than coil springs. Adjust air pressure to dial in perfect firmness for your body and riding style.

Superior: Suspension Seatpost with 4-Point Guidance

Protects your spine, reduces back fatigue. Adjustable spring preload and precision 4-point guiding deliver stable, linear shock absorption. Ride longer with less soreness.

• Torque Mode: Power responds to your pedaling force—best for trails, hills, technical terrain. Athletic, controlled feel.
  
• Cadence Mode: Consistent assist when pedaling—best for flat roads, relaxed cruising. Effortless, smooth feel.
  

Use torque mode for control on complex terrain, switch to cadence mode on straight flats where you want to relax.
