The article contains some selective reporting and editorializing. The author mentions that the Summit 1 is a 'bit of a step down' on challenging trails but then goes on to say that it can do about 90% of what most alternatives offer. This implies that the Summit 1 is not as good as other options, but the author also acknowledges that it may still be a better all-around bicycle for some people. The author also states that the bike lacks a dropper seat and mentions it as a compromise, but then admits that he didn't really feel its absence because the frame was small for him. This could be seen as an attempt to downplay the significance of this omission.

The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses their opinion that the Velotric Summit 1 is a 'solid contender' in the sub-$2,000 category and that it offers 'significant value.' They also state that it may not satisfy 'the most hardcore mountain bikers,' implying that less serious riders will find it sufficient. These statements are not objectively verifiable facts and are therefore examples of editorializing. Additionally, the author selectively reports on certain features of the bike, such as its affordability, components, battery and motor power and safety certification, app connectivity, derailleur being entry level, suspension not being good for jumps and dropper seat post not included. They do not mention other important aspects of the bike like its weight or handling which could impact a potential buyer's decision.
