I'm so glad you enjoyed!

The Evelo Dash is a bit under 50 lbs.; ours weigh 47.3 lbs. with the battery. As a mid-drive with a smaller motor, it is generally good on hills. I think the center of the crank is a bit high at 11.5", so we've found a tension between getting the seat high enough for my wife to pedal, and low...

Here's a picture.

We are going to give it more time and more riding before making a decision on the gearing. Unfortunately, some other events around here just haven't allowed us enough time to do much riding. As I mentioned above, having watched my wife perform several "low-speed unplanned dismount maneuvers" on...

Anticipation...

I think the PAS setting buttons might respond better to being pressed just a bit longer. I can't swear to it though, as events around here just haven't supported doing as much riding as I'd like these past few weeks. I just read a thread on bicycling accidents (Elephant in the Room)...

The Dash is not set up to easily roll while folded, though I suspect that it could with a little MacGyvering. Also, the bikes tip left when folded, so I've been looking to identify a simple means to remedy that. The throttle operates from speed zero; the bike starts rolling when you depress...

Maybe all the parts I bought to reduce the gearing and put wider tires on our two Giant Expressway folding bikes; chainrings, bolts, washers, cassettes, tubes, tires, along with some associated tools. I suspect the new e-bikes are going to mean the folders won't be used much, but it's too soon...

Our experience has really gone well as we've had a chance to ride a bit more. We returned to a trail with grades that range from 1% to 5% and the bikes gobbled them up at just about 10 MPH in 2nd gear with almost effortless pedaling at about 60 RPM while set at PAS 1 of 5. We turned the PAS...

I spoke with the service manager at one of the local bike shops today. He has a great deal of respect for Evelo. It's apparently one of a very few "direct-to-consumer" brands that the shop will support with a service contract. He respects the quality of their bikes, and he says they consistently...

I took the bike out for a couple of quick rides and ended up calculating how a 350 watt motor might handle various grades. Mind you, this is not just an Evelo thing, but it would broadly apply to any e-bike with similar power and efficiencies. I don't have an app to track routes and grades, but...

Thanks for the congratulations but as Evelo provides a trial period we're not married yet, just dating. ; )

I've taken delivery of a Dash, as noted on the "Evelo Dash information" thread. I figured I'd post feedback there, so feel free to let me know any questions you might have. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/evelo-dash-information.42616/#post-443935

I had a Dash delivered. It's much larger than I expected with a 45-1/4" wheelbase and 21-1/4" O.D. tires, so 67-1/2" long overall including 1" for the rear fender. The folding hinge just about splits the length evenly. The handlebars are 24" wide and feel pretty solid. The 20x2.4 tires measure...

Vincent, this has been an interesting thread. Did you do a mid-drive swap on the Motobecane?

It appears I'm interested in a similar bike. I haven't found one yet that ticks all the boxes for me. We currently carry a pair of Giant Expressway 1's (20" folders) in the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. This serves to keep them dry, somewhat concealed and a bit more secure from theft, and...

Same here, I'm interested in the Dash and hearing about people's experiences.
