Velotric cuts Discover M mid-drive e-bike to $2,399 with a free rack bag

Velotric has lowered the price of its Discover M Mid-Drive Commuter e-bike to $2,399 shipped as part of its Black Friday sale. According to 9to5Toys, the price is $100 below the earlier $2,499. The sale also includes a free rack-top bag worth $96. Electrek reports the same new low and places the offer in its coverage of early Black Friday green deals. Both outlets describe this as the first real cash saving on the model.

The Discover M has been on the market since February. Until now, the brand had mostly offered it as a bundle with extras rather than a straight price cut. 9to5Toys says that without the bag discount the package would cost $2,595. With the sale, the buyer gets the bag and the markdown together.

The bike uses a 500W mid-drive motor with a 960W peak. Its 48V battery is rated at 16.7Ah, or 801.6Wh. The listing cited by both sources gives a range of up to 95 miles per charge. The speed range is adjustable from 12 to 28 mph. A SensorSwap feature lets the rider switch between cadence and torque sensing.

For smart features, the bike supports Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. An NFC card can lock and unlock it. It also has cruise control and settings that can be tuned through the companion app. A full-color smart display and a USB-C port for charging devices complete the electronics.

The hardware is built for paved streets, gravel and hills. It has puncture-resistant multi-terrain tyres, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and an air suspension fork. A 9-speed Shimano Cues derailleur handles gear changes. The 500-lumen headlight is paired with a taillight built into the rear cargo rack, which shows brake lighting and turn signals.

The main buyers are commuters who want a higher-end e-bike with built-in tracking and locking. Electrek's roundup also lists other offers from Aventon, EcoFlow and Anker. Those are separate deals and are not part of this Velotric price cut.

The sources do not say when the sale ends. They also do not state how many units are available or whether the offer applies in every region. Readers who want the bike should check the retailer's page for the current price, stock and delivery terms before ordering.
