Video Summary

Long-distance test on the Velotric Discover 1

• Testing the Velotric Discover 4 on a long-distance ride to see how far it can go with a rider weighing 230 pounds.
• An extra battery has been brought along, taken from the Velotric’s Nomad One, to ensure that there is enough power for the entire trip

“One to see how far it can go with a guy who’s 230 pounds. I did bring an extra battery I took off Velotric’s Nomad One.”

Testing battery compatibility and ensuring no power issues

• The extra battery from the Velotric’s Nomad One has been tested and found to be interchangeable with the Velotric Discover 4, eliminating the risk of getting stuck without power.
• Riding without power can be challenging, so it is essential to have a backup option

“I already tested that out to make sure that was going to work, so when I do take it out, I’m not going to get stuck and have to ride this thing back without power.”

Riding on the 606 Trail and enjoying the scenery

• The ride takes place on the 606 Trail, known for its beautiful surroundings and interesting sights.
• The trail offers a variety of cool things to see while riding the Velotric Discover 4

“That was pretty cool. It’s one of the great things about being out here on the 606 Trail. You see all kinds of cool things.”

Expectations for battery performance in cold temperatures

• Despite the current temperature being 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it is not expected to reach the optimal conditions for the battery’s performance.
• Due to this, the Velotric Discover 4 may not achieve the full 60 miles of range as advertised

“I still think that it’s in the cold battery territory since we’re not over 60 degrees, so I don’t expect this thing to do 60 miles that it says it’s going to do.”

Unlocking the bike to a higher class

• The bike has been unlocked from Class 2 to Class 3, allowing for increased speed and performance.
• To unlock the bike, one can contact Velotric at help@velotricbike.com

“I’ve also unlocked this bike from a Class 2 to a Class 3. You can do that by contacting Velotric at help@velotricbike.com.”

Exploring beautiful areas of Chicago

• The review includes showcasing some of the beautiful areas of Chicago while riding the Velotric Discover 4.
• Footage from previous bike reviews will be used to highlight the amazing scenery of the city

“During this review, I’m also going to show you some beautiful areas of Chicago. I’m going to take some footage today and I’m going to use some footage that I used from a review on a different bike I did a little bit ago just so you can see how amazing Chicago is.”

Positive feedback on the performance and comfort of the bike

• Riding the Velotric Discover 4 has been smooth and enjoyable.
• The bike handles well and offers a comfortable seating position, even after a couple of hours of riding

“This bike rides super well, I mean it really does. For a while, I accidentally had the front forks locked out but once I open those back up it made the ride a lot nicer. This thing just rolls. It’s just super smooth, and super easy to ride, Especially with the seating position.”

Positive review of the Xnito helmet

• The Xnito helmet, provided by the company, has impressed the reviewer.
• The helmet features a front and back light with three different settings, and additional winter liners can be purchased.
• It has provided comfort, warmth, and versatility during the ride

“Check out this helmet that I’m rocking now. This is by Xnito and Xnito sent me this helmet. What I like about it is that it has a light here on the front and then it has one here on the back but it has three different settings so it does three different patterns. I wore this helmet on one review on a different bike, and I’ve worn this helmet ever since. It comes with an additional winter liner for it. Man, that thing has really kept my ears warm, so that’s what I’ve been wearing.”

Battling strong winds and facing battery drainage

• The bike’s battery has depleted faster than anticipated due to strong winds encountered during the ride.
• Despite having two bars of battery left, the wind posed a significant challenge and drained the power

“We are out of battery. It didn’t last that long after I had talked about having two bars left. I was fighting the wind the entire time. It’s really Breezy today and because of that, I’m now out of juice.”

Performance feedback on the Velotric Discover 1

• Considering the rider’s weight and the additional camera equipment, the Velotric Discover 4 performed well throughout the ride.
• The 500-watt motor effectively propelled the bike despite the added weight

“This bike was holding a lot of weight and it moved down the road just fine. This 500-watt motor in the back, I was surprised because this is a lot of weight to get moving but it didn’t seem to have an issue at all.”

Comfort and preferred riding settings

• The reviewer found Pedal Assist Four and gear seven to be the most comfortable settings for riding the Velotric Discover 4.
• Alternating between using throttle and pedaling provided an enjoyable mix during the trip

“I spent most of my time in Pedal Assist Four because I noticed when I put it in Pedal Assist Five, I felt like I was Ghost pedaling. So, Pedal Assist Four for me and, in gear seven, was good. That’s where I felt the most comfortable. I did spend half of this ride doing throttle, pedaling, throttle, pedaling, just to kind of mix it up.”
