My Heart Loves Velotric
It was a dark and stormy night in September 2023 and I was coming up to my 70(th) birthday. What to buy myself in recognition of this important milestone? All of a sudden, lightning flashed and inspiration struck. An e-bike! Some web research quickly followed and the Velotric brand featured quite prominently among the best reviews. As it happened, a well-respected local bike store had just become a Velotric dealership, so I was on their doorstep when they opened the following day.
Their demo model was a Discover 1 step-through and, after a prolonged test ride, the deal was done at a very reasonable price. It had been love at first sight! Daily rides cemented the relationship with this awesome, well-designed bicycle.
Fast forward to April 2024, which was unfortunately dominated by major heart surgery. Thankfully, it was successful, and as soon as my surgeon (an avid bike rider!) gave his blessing, I was able to start slow and build up my riding endurance once more. So, it turns out that my Velotric has become an integral part of my cardiac rehabilitation program. This has worked out extremely well both physically and mentally, as my ride is now the highlight of my day and a major contributor to my recovery. I am quite certain that my lovely bicycle is the best form of rehabilitation. What is more, my doctors agree and point to my uncommonly rapid return to health as proof of this.
After a fantastic experience with the Discover 1, I decided to upgrade to the Discover 2, and the difference in performance has been remarkable. The increased power, range, comfort, and precision handling have taken my rides to another level. The new model has given me greater confidence, whether I’m tackling steeper hills or extending my rides. My newly repaired heart just loves this bicycle even more!
It is no exaggeration for me to say that Velotric bikes are the best bicycles I have owned in decades of riding. Both models are built to a high standard, with reliable electronics and motors, and they handle beautifully. Velotric has truly set a new standard in my cycling experience.
