What I said about the Mokwheel Asphalt
Full-size torque-sensor commuter at $1,499.99 (on sale from $1,799.99 as of Oct 28, 2026).
Buy it if you want a full-size commuter with a torque sensor, hydraulic brakes, a thumb throttle, and a rack and fenders already on it. That's what I rode for several weeks (0:06 to 0:09, 0:55 to 1:15, 6:48 to 7:15). At about 6'1" and 200 lb, it fit me perfectly (1:18 to 1:23). Skip it if you ride rough trails. It has a front suspension fork and no rear suspension. I said it's completely fine on paved paths (1:46 to 1:58). The deciding factor: price. I said at about $1,500 it's a fantastic deal if you catch it on sale (7:15 to 7:23). As of Oct 28, 2026, Mokwheel lists it at $1,499.99, on sale from $1,799.99 (Mokwheel).

What I said about the Velotric Discover 2
A comfortable, well-built Class 1/2/3 commuter with a switchable torque/cadence sensor and real safety features.
Buy the Discover 2 if you want a comfortable, well-built commuter with real safety features: hydraulic brakes, turn signals, a brake light, and a rack and fenders in the box. You can also switch the pedal assist between torque and cadence in the app. I tested it for several weeks. Then I rode just under 30 miles of rough gravel and paved paths as a torture test. My conclusion was that it really is a very high-quality e-bike (0:40 to 1:03, part 2). Skip it if you need a lighter bike, or if you want to change your seat height often without tools. The seat post slipped on me until I clamped it so tight that it took two hands to move (4:11 to 4:30, part 2).
