Velotric no longer publishes a specification sheet for the Discover 1: its product page carries no motor, battery, range, class or certification rows, while every current model does. So this page states what we can source — $1,699, colors, and live stock — and declines to invent the rest. No colorway is buyable at Velotric today, and because we match their availability, none is buyable here either.
Price and availability
Price matched
$1,699 against a $1,699 list price. Matched to Velotric in USD and re-checked every day, so you are never paying more here than at the manufacturer.
Stock matched
Every colorway is out of stock right now — all 2 of them (Cyan, Silver). That mirrors Velotric's own availability rather than hiding it: we would rather show you an honest zero than take an order we cannot fill. Email us and we will tell you what we know about the next run.
Sold and supported by Redtail
Free shipping on every electric bike within the contiguous United States (lower 48). Redtail is the seller of record, and warranty claims come to us — not to a factory inbox.
Who the Discover 1 is for
Buy it if
- Riders specifically looking for this generation of the Discover, who already know the specification
- Anyone who wants us to chase Velotric for the full spec sheet before committing
Skip it if
- You want a bike you can buy today — nothing is buyable at Velotric or here
- You want a published specification to compare against; the Discover 2 and 3 have full sheets
- You need certification stated for the model you are buying
The Discover 1 in detail
Velotric no longer publishes a spec sheet for this model
Every current Velotric bike page carries a specification block — motor, battery, range, class, certification. The Discover 1's page carries none. Velotric has not marked it discontinued, and the product is still in their catalog; the specifications have simply been taken down. We are telling you that rather than filling the gap with figures from a similar model.
No borrowed specifications
It would be easy to put a stablemate's motor and battery figures on this page and nobody would notice. We do not do that. A specification you cannot check against the manufacturer is worse than a gap you can see, and on a bike it is the difference between a claim and a guess.
Price, colors and stock are current
Two colorways are listed, neither currently buyable at Velotric. Price and availability on this page are matched to Velotric's own store and re-checked every day, so those figures are live even though the specification is not.
Not claimed for this model
Velotric's site says “most Velotric e-bikes” are UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified. “Most” is not “all”, and with no specification block on this model's page there is no per-model statement to rely on. So we make no certification claim here at all. Ask us and we will put Velotric's answer in writing before you order.
Ask us and we will get it in writing
If you want this bike, tell us and we will go to Velotric for the motor rating, battery capacity, range, weight, load limit and class — in writing, so you have it. That is a better answer than a page that looks complete and is not.
The honest ledger
Green flags
- Price and availability on this page are matched to Velotric's own store and re-checked every day, so those figures are current even though the specification is not.
- We say plainly what is missing instead of borrowing a similar model's figures — every specification on a Redtail page traces to something we read.
Red flags
- Velotric publishes no specification block for this model — no motor, battery, range or certification rows. We will not fill that in from a similar model.
- No colorway is buyable at Velotric today, so none is buyable here.
What Velotric publishes about certification
Velotric does not publish a certificate document for any model — no certificate number, no issuing laboratory, no PDF, on any of its twenty bike pages. We checked all twenty. What it does publish is the wording below, taken from this model's own specification sheet. We quote it and label it a claim, because that is what it is.
Certification
Not establishedVelotric publishes no specification block at all on this model's page — no certification row, no motor row, nothing. Its site-wide page says “most Velotric e-bikes” are UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified, and “most” is not “all”, so we are not applying that sentence to a model Velotric has stopped describing. Ask us and we will get it in writing before you order.
Certificate documents
Not establishedVelotric publishes no certificate document for any model — no certificate number, no issuing laboratory, no PDF, on any of its twenty bike pages. We checked all twenty.
Velotric's own certification page says “most Velotric e-bikes are both UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified”. We do not apply that sentence to this bike: “most” is not “all”, and Recognized and Certified are different UL statuses. What is above is this model's own spec sheet, read 2026-08-24, plus velotricbike.com/pages/ul-certification.
Class, speed and where you can ride
See below
Velotric publishes no specification block for this model, so we cannot state its motor rating or whether it offers class switching. We will confirm both with Velotric in writing before you order rather than infer them from a stablemate.
We publish a state-by-state e-bike law hub, and if you want your own state answered in writing before you order, ask us and we will put it in an email you can keep.
How to read this spec sheet
Nominal and peak are different numbers
Velotric publishes a nominal motor rating and, on several models, a peak figure alongside it (“750W (1300W Peak Power)”). Nominal is the continuous rating that the federal low-speed electric bicycle definition and state statutes are written against; peak is a short-burst ceiling. When you compare against a brand that quotes only peak, you are not comparing like with like.
Two range figures, not one
Velotric quotes throttle range and pedal-assist range separately rather than blending them into a single flattering number. The assist figure is the higher of the two and assumes you are contributing. Plan around the throttle figure if you intend to use one.
Class is a setting, not a fact about the bike
These bikes ship at a default speed limit and can be adjusted within a stated range. What is legal where you ride depends on that setting and on your state and city — which is why we will not print a class badge and call it done.
Size and fit

| Top-Tube Length (horizontal) | 580mm | Min Saddle Height | 788mm | Max Saddle Height | 989mm |
Velotric publishes stack, reach, stand-over and top-tube figures for this frame — the numbers that actually decide fit. Most brands at this price publish a height range and stop.

Every cell is Velotric's own published figure, read 2026-08-24. A blank cell means Velotric publishes nothing for that field on that model — we leave it blank rather than estimate it.
Full specifications
Velotric publishes no specification block for this model — no motor, battery, range, class or certification rows on its product page. We are not going to fill that in from a similar model, because a spec you cannot check is worse than a gap you can see. Ask us and we will get the figures from Velotric in writing before you order.

What we counted
Measured by Redtail
We pulled Velotric's entire published catalog on 2026-08-24 — all 125 products and every variant — and counted what could actually be bought that day. Velotric could sell 80 of its own 102 published bike configurations on the pull date — 78%. 6 of its 20 bike models had no buyable colorway at all.
Across the accessory and parts range, 152 of 166 variants were buyable. We mirror that availability daily rather than list a color nobody can ship — which is why some options on this page may be greyed out today and back tomorrow.
Warranty
Buy the bike from Redtail and Redtail handles the claim. Send photos or video of the issue with your order number and we take it from there — we file and manage it rather than sending you to a manufacturer inbox. Velotric also keeps its own customer-service line open to every owner for troubleshooting, for the life of the bike, whoever sold it.
Who covers you
Velotric's warranty states: “Only applicable to United States e-bike purchases from velotricbike.com. Bikes purchased outside the Velotric official website shall contact their original dealer for after-sale service.” Redtail is a dealer, so after-sale service on this bike is Redtail's and the claim comes to us. Velotric adds that “All Velotric bike owners are entitled to contact the Velotric CS Team for troubleshooting service throughout the lifetime of bikes.” — that part is open to every owner, whoever sold the bike.
What Velotric stands behind, on a direct purchase
- 2 years — Electrical — motor, throttle, PAS panel, controller, wiring harness, lights, IOT module, sensor, fingerprint module, FindMy module, charger, display
- 2 years — Battery — designed to retain up to 75% of original capacity over the period
- 1 year — Other essential components — suspension forks, stem, handlebar, headset, brakes (excluding pads), bottom bracket, crankset, pedals, kickstand, rims, hub, freewheel, cassette, derailleur, shifter
- 1 year — Accessories
- Runs from the date of delivery of the original purchase.
The five-year structure tier names T1, T1ST, T1ST Plus, Breeze, Tempo. The Discover 1 is not among them.
Velotric publishes three warranty documents, and they disagree
- velotricbike.com/pages/warranty: 5-year structure row naming T1, T1ST, T1ST Plus, Breeze and Tempo; battery 2 years, designed to retain up to 75% of original capacity.
- Velotric support-center policy (updated 2026-08-21): the same structure row narrowed to 'T1 & T1ST only'; battery expressed as 2 years or 'up to 300 charging cycles, whichever occurs first'.
- Velotric owner's manual, p.100 (PDF deposit copy held): a flat 2-year term whose Covered Components include frame, forks and brake — no 5-year tier at all.
We quote all three and present none as governing, because Velotric has not said which one wins. It matters less than it looks here — your cover is Redtail's — but you should know the manufacturer's own documents are not consistent.
What is excluded
- Consumables and wear parts — tires, tubes, brake pads, cables and housing, grips, chain, spokes, bearings, free hub bodies, sprockets
- Paint and graphics; suspension forks and suspension parts are excluded from the frame definition
- Third-party components such as drivetrain, brakes or suspension — refer to that manufacturer
- Improper assembly, crash, neglect, improper repair or maintenance, corrosion
Velotric's warranty terms as published at www.velotricbike.com/pages/warranty, read 2026-08-24. Reproduced as context for what the manufacturer stands behind on a direct purchase; your cover is Redtail's. First owner / original purchaser only. Subsequent owners are not covered, though Velotric invites them to contact its CS team.

Frequently asked questions
What are the specifications of the Velotric Discover 1?
Velotric no longer publishes them. Its product page for the Discover 1 carries no specification block — no motor, battery, range, class or certification rows — while every current model does. We will not copy figures across from a similar bike. Ask us and we will get the specification from Velotric in writing before you order.
Has the Velotric Discover 1 been discontinued?
Velotric has not announced a discontinuation and the product remains in its catalog. What has happened is that the specification block has been removed from the page. No colorway is buyable at Velotric today, and because we match their availability, none is buyable here either. We report both facts and draw no conclusion Velotric has not stated.
Is the Velotric Discover 1 UL certified?
We make no certification claim for this model. Velotric's site-wide page says “most” of its e-bikes are UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified, but with no specification block on this model's page there is no per-model statement to point at — and “most” is not “all”. We will ask Velotric in writing on request.
What class of e-bike is the Discover 1?
Velotric publishes no class row for this model, so we do not state one. A class is a legal conclusion and we are not going to draw it for the manufacturer. If you need it settled before ordering, ask and we will get it in writing.
Can I still buy the Velotric Discover 1?
No colorway is buyable at Velotric today, and because we match their availability, none is buyable here either. Our availability is matched to Velotric's own, daily — so what this page lets you add to a cart is what actually exists today.
Why is this page shorter than your other bike pages?
Because the manufacturer publishes less about this bike than about the others, and we would rather have a short honest page than a long one padded with figures we cannot source. Every specification on a Redtail page traces to something we read.
The bottom line
We list the Discover 1 because Velotric still catalogs it and some riders want it specifically. What we will not do is dress a stripped page up as a full one. If you want this bike, ask us and we will get the specification and certification from Velotric in writing before you spend anything — and if you just want a good bike in this part of the range, the fully documented models are the easier recommendation.
