Ruggb - I haven’t gotten a folding bike - I was looking for my wife. I have an Evelo Aurora mid Drive.

LarryC - I’m 60 and live in an area with a lot of hills. I had not ridden a bike in over 20 years and wondered about the need for gears with multiple PAS levels. Surprisingly, I find myself using the gears a lot In conjunction with the PAS. Particularly on hills with PAS level 3 or 4 those...

Good luck with the Aurora - let us know how you like it when it arrives!

Wiredbean - I chose the Evelo Aurora specifically because I live in a very hilly area. The 750 Watt Mid drive motor was the main feature for the hills. So far it is working great on the hills. I find that using the peddle assist is better than going to the throttle on the hills. Not sure it...

When I inquired about Trek bikes, I was told they could support 300 pounds, but the 300 pounds included, the rider, any cargo, and the weight of the bike itself.

For current Aurora owners - the higher capacity (14.5 Ah) battery offered on the Limited Edition will be a direct replacement for the original (11.6 Ah) battery.

AubergeSanDiego - I considered switching to the Limited Edition as well, but decided to stick with my fully loaded. Alex had told me that the current motor on the Fully Loaded would have a little more torque than the Limited Edition. We discussed and decided with my weight and hills, that the...

Jono1331 - thanks for the link!

Picked up my Aurora today from the LBS. They had to install a new NuVinci shifter and cable. I also had them change the seat to a Cloud 9 Cruiser style saddle with springs. Between the troubleshooting, shipping time from Evelo, and how busy the LBS was the whole process took about 3 weeks...

Hi - I am looking for folding Ebikes with a belt drive. I would prefer motor to be at least 500 W. Anyone have any recommendations or experience? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. I have seen the Evelo, & Pedego with belt drive and motors in the 350W range.

H82quit - sorry to hear it did not work out for you. Good luck in your search. Sounds like the LBS will have mine ready on Monday and then my 10 day trial will start. Craig - sounds like a nice ride - good luck!

H82quit - did you receive your Aurora? How’s it riding?

Still patiently? Waiting to get my bike back from the LBS. Evelo had to send a new NuVinci shifter and cable. Between troubleshooting, shipping, and LBS being busy with many customers it has taken a little longer than hoped.

Phil - how is the thudbuster seatpost and the cloud 9 seat working for you? I was looking at that but according to the Crane Creek site the thudbuster is only rated to 250 pounds. That made me a little nervous. Sounds like you got a nice bike!

Picked up my Aurora from the LBS today. Sadly the NuVinci display does not light up. I think there is a short. Tried quick trouble shooting via email with Evelo to no avail. Back to LBS tomorrow for them to troubleshoot.

Received notice that my Aurora arrived at my LBS. Now just waiting for final assembly/set up!

Mike - agree with your assessment. The 350 pound capacity appealed to me. Many of the other bikes I researched listed capacities in the 250 to 275 pound range. That range would have left me concerned with possible warranty issues.

H82quit - they shipped mine. It’s scheduled to arrive at the LBS on July 5th. Hopefully, I’ll have it early next week! I was able to meet up with an Evelo Delta owner and test ride his bike. He had nothing but good things to say about Evelo. Enjoy your new ride!

Thanks to all Greg - I am in Newark

I just ordered an Aurora Mid Drive fully loaded. Evelo has arranged for it to be delivered to a local bike shop for initial assembly/setup. Evelo has been very helpful. I am fairly short (5’7”), about 300 pounds, wanted a step thru, and live in a hilly area. After reading several reviews on...
