The Qronge Discoverer isn’t flashy, loud, or trying to be a motorcycle in disguise. Instead, it does something far more practical—it delivers serious range, solid power, and smooth city comfort at a price that makes sense. For riders who need a daily workhorse or an affordable weekend cruiser, the Discoverer checks the boxes without checking your wallet.
Right away, the Discoverer distinguishes itself with one headline number: an advertised up to 100 miles of range. The 36V 13.5Ah removable battery, is paired to a 1,000W peak motor, providing a top speed of 25 mph.
While real-world range will depend on rider weight, terrain, and assist level, we’d comfortably expect 60+ miles in mixed-use riding. That’s easily twice what other budget e-bikes offer.
In contrast to the chunkier, fat-tire Thunder or the more compact Meteors ST, the Discoverer is designed as a classic urban commuter. The step-over frame, narrower tires, and upright geometry make it ideal for city streets, bike lanes, and paved trails. Weighing in at 55 pounds, it’s also a bit lighter than many eBikes.
The 7-speed Shimano drivetrain that is ubiquitous on most eBikes these days, will help riders who need to tackle hills and mechanical disc brakes will help to slow you down.
The 500W nominal motor delivers smooth acceleration. Qronge uses a cadence sensor system, which means the assist kicks in as you pedal. It’s not as instantaneous as a torque sensor system, but it works well for steady, predictable riding. There’s also a thumb throttle for when you want to cruise without pedaling.
Front suspension helps soak up cracked pavement and small curbs. It’s not mountain bike-level cushioning, but it adds to the comfort and feels well-tuned for urban use. Combined with the slightly wider tires (but not full-fat), the Discoverer rides with confidence.
With a 350 lb payload capacity, this bike can easily carry a backpack, laptop, or groceries without compromising ride quality. That puts it in solid utility territory—great for college students, downtown commuters, or anyone running errands without a car.
The Qronge Discoverer comes in blue or grey and is available for $699.99 at qronge.com.
