Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the iGO Discovery Rosemont. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- The Discovery Rosemont is available in two builds: the mid-drive LS and the hub-drive LE.
- An expert praises the mid-drive Discovery Rosemont LS's immediate power delivery and natural pedaling experience.
- One tester relishes the mid-drive motor's rapid acceleration.
- Reviewers laud the comfortable ride and the effective suspension fork.
- In a PAS 5 range test of the LS build, a 190lb tester gets 55.4 miles of flat, paved riding at a high average speed of 18.3mph.
- The low step-through frame is easy to mount and dismount.
- The Rosemont LS demonstrates excellent climbing performance in testing.
- The Discovery Rosemont has fenders, lights with brake activation, a rear rack, and a chain guard.
- A tester appreciates the bike's maneuverability.
- The LE build has an adjustable stem, but the LS doesn't.
6 reasons not to buy
- The entry-level Tektro HD-E350 brakes provide below-average stopping power.
- The battery on a test bike (Discovery Rosemont LS) overheats after 45 miles of riding at max pedal assist.
- A reviewer of the Rosemont LS reports a lag in power delivery after shifting gears. iGO claims this isn't an issue for dealer-bought bikes.
- One tester complains about ghost pedaling at speeds above 20mph when riding the 9-speed Rosemont LS.
- The Discovery Rosemont is only available in one size.
- Both builds are very heavy for the price.
Bottom line
The iGO Discovery Rosemont is a step-through e-commuter available with a 350W mid-drive (LS) or 500W hub-drive (LE). There is only one expert review for each build. Testers praise the comfort, quick acceleration, excellent range, and included commuter accessories. The mid-drive LS build's climbing performance also impresses. The LS has delayed power delivery when shifting gears, and a reviewer reports the battery overheating during a long ride. Overall, the Discovery Rosemont is deemed a good commuter e-bike, but it's heavy and more expensive than the competition.
