Bottom line
The iGO Discovery Yorkville is a commuter e-bike available in two builds: 350W mid-drive (LS) and 500W hub-drive (LE). There is only one expert review of each build. Both reviewers praise the smooth and responsive motor assistance, comfort, and accessories. The Yorkville Discovery LE's long range impresses, but testers complain that power isn't evenly distributed across PAS levels. The lack of color or size options, high weight, and basic brakes are especially disappointing at this price. Nonetheless, testers consider the Discovery Yorkville a good but overpriced commuter option.
