Discovery components
Fork material
Discovery has an aluminum fork, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the e-bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Discovery model has 16″ aluminum wheels. The 16″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Discovery has Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
