Velotric Discover 3 Electric Bike

Available at Bike Attack Santa Monica

The Velotric Discover 3 is a modern commuter e-bike built specifically for real-world transportation — daily riding, beach path cruising, and longer Los Angeles commutes. It combines strong motor power, long battery range, integrated safety lighting, and smart anti-theft technology in one comfortable, upright platform.

This is a reliable transportation bicycle designed to replace short car trips while remaining easy and comfortable to ride every day.

Who This Bike Is For

The Discover 3 works best for riders who want:

• a dependable commuter e-bike

• upright comfortable riding position

• long battery range

• integrated safety features

• minimal maintenance transportation

It is especially well suited to Santa Monica and West LA riding — bike paths, neighborhood streets, and mixed stop-and-go city traffic.

Fit & Size Guide

With Suspension Seatpost

The upright geometry reduces wrist pressure and improves visibility in traffic, making it ideal for commuting and recreational riding.

Motor & Performance

The Discover 3 uses a high-torque rear hub motor tuned for city riding rather than racing.

• Motor: 48V, 750W

• Torque: 75Nm

This torque level matters — it determines how easily the bike accelerates from a stop and climbs hills.
On LA terrain, that means easier starts at traffic lights and smooth climbing over bridges and inclines without excessive effort.

Pedal Assist & Sensors

The bike combines torque sensor + cadence sensor technology.
This is important because:

• cadence sensor = power when you pedal

• torque sensor = power proportional to how hard you pedal

The result feels much closer to a normal bicycle than older “on/off” e-bikes.

• 5 assist modes

• Ride tuning available

Speed, Class & Range

• Default: Class 1 (20 MPH pedal assist)

• Can be configured to Class 2 or Class 3

• Adjustable max speed: 12–28 MPH

When configured as Class 3, the throttle is automatically disabled to meet regulations.

Range

• Pedal assist range: up to 80 miles

• Throttle range: up to 65 miles

This range is sufficient for multi-day commuting without daily charging for most riders.

Battery & Charging

A commuter e-bike is only as good as its battery. Velotric uses automotive-grade components.

• Battery: 48V, 15.2Ah (730Wh)

• Cells: Samsung / LG 21700

• Charger: 48V 3A fast charger

• Waterproof rating: IPX7

• Certifications: UL2271 & UL2849

The larger 730Wh capacity is what allows true commuting range rather than short recreational rides.

Smart Features & Security

The Discover 3 is one of the more technologically integrated commuter e-bikes available.

• Apple Find My tracking

• Android Find Hub tracking

• NFC card unlock

• Bluetooth connectivity

• App updates (OTA firmware)

• USB-C phone charging port

These features make the bike practical for daily transportation — especially parking in urban environments.

Display & Controls

• 3.5" full-color high-brightness display

• Adjustable viewing angle

• Trigger throttle (removable)

• Walk mode: 2.9 MPH assist

Walk mode is useful for ramps, parking garages, and apartment buildings.

Integrated Safety Lighting

Unlike many commuter bikes, lighting is not an accessory — it is part of the system.

Front Light

• 500 lumen high-output LED

• Adjustable beam angle

Rear Light

• Brake light indicator

• Turn signals

• Flash/steady modes

• Integrated into rear rack

These features significantly improve visibility in evening and early-morning commuting.

Weather & Durability

• Water resistance: IPX6

• Battery: IPX7

• Frame tested to ISO 4210 standards

This makes the Discover 3 suitable for year-round riding, coastal moisture, and light rain conditions.

Why We Recommend It at Bike Attack

Many commuter e-bikes prioritize either power or comfort.
The Discover 3 balances both while adding safety and anti-theft technology — which matters more for daily riders than raw speed.

Key advantages:

• comfortable geometry

• long range battery

• strong hill-climbing torque

• integrated lights and signals

• advanced tracking security

It is a practical transportation bike rather than a novelty e-bike.
