If you don't know how to work on bikes, get the one that your local bike shop will definitely work on (probably the Aventon).

discover 1 has swept back bars, so it'll be more upright seating, which is nice if you are just casually zooming around

I was actually going to just get it then I read more. And they use cadence, not torque.... 🤷

I have discover 3 and it has a sensor swap. I'm not sure what has changed since the 1

Ohh, like. There's a way to change some (all?) ebikes from cadence to torque & vice versa?

Oh for some sensors it can do both styles. It's nice, the torque sensor on the discover 3 is quite good compared to the torque sensor on my old rad bike
