I purchased my Evelo Atlas about a couple years ago and it's been great. Mostly riding it on rough dirt roads and it's holding up perfectly. I had a recent issue with the headlight, it stopped working. Seemed like it would be a simple fix but after trying the obvious things it still didn't...

Just checking back in as I have close to 1200 miles now, about 70% on very rough dirt roads and the rest on pavement I can't say enough about this bike. With the exception of the Bafang speed sensor having issues (Evelo immediately sent me a new one), I continue to be amazed at its reliability...

Recently purchased a new Atlas. I'm exceptionally impressed with all aspects of it and somewhat surprised there haven't been any glitches (yet, at least :-). It arrived a couple days after being shipped. UPS didn't mangle the box. Opening it up it was super well packed and undamaged, not even...

Thanks for the reply.

Hi all, this is my first post. Recently purchase a Atlas with a possible August delivery. --I remember reading somewhere while I was researching a post (it may not have been on this forum) of a Atlas owner who listed out the many mods he'd done on the Atlas. It was a long list and a nice...

This may help out. Here are photos of the few bikes I know of who's frame shape and style I like. I'm trying to find additional suggestions for donor bikes that are similar in shape to any of the below bikes. In order of appearance is a: Juiced Ripcurrent KHS 7200 Lunacycle Crusher Lunacycle...

Thanks! I didn't know about Motobecane and there's probably more than a few others that I'm unaware of.

Hi all, After a lot of reading here and elsewhere, I'm considering building instead of buying a e-bike and wanted to ask for recommendations on what mountain bike to use for the conversion. I don't need it to necessarily be cheap and it could even be a new bike (although going used is obviously...

Thanks for that!

I'd be interested in hearing about any method for adding a throttle to the aforementioned bikes even if it does void the warranty.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Let me try again. --I'm looking for a Class 3 bike (max of 28mph with pedal assist) and also has a throttle. --The max throttle only speed will be 20mph. --I'd like the ability to start from a standstill with the throttle only and also be able to assist pedaling...

I've been searching Class 3 bikes that have throttle only ability. (This evolution started here, https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/need-advice-on-class-3-fs-buying-options-bulls-evo-45-fs.24562/) I'm finding many of the, for want of a better word, "higher end" bikes that are Class 3...

Latest update as I try more bikes and the selection parameters continue to change. Still want Class 3 but have decided I quite like the throttle only to 20mph option so my original potential of the Bulls EVO 45 FS is out. To open up the field more (as many of the mountain bikes don't have...

Hi Rich, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for the comments. I road a couple other bikes recently and am making progress on selection. Rich --I'll check out the 2017 XDURO Full Seven S 7.0 ...but think I want a Class 3. I'll take a look though. Bruce --good idea and I've been doing just that. The parameters for choosing are...
