    Evelo's latest Aries Mid-Drive and Hub Bikes

    Anyone own one of these full suspension comfort bikes? They are a unique cross between MTB looks and cruiser sensibilities and comfort. The Mid-drive bike includes a 48-volt, 11.6 amp hour battery and also includes a continuous variable transmission (NuVinci CVT) a nice color display and a...

    ParDo's CCX log

    36 daily street miles on a fat tire? Wouldn't there be better bike choices for this kind of riding? How about the CCX?

    EVELO Aries Bike Review

    Boy ... No love here. Not a single Aries owner able to comment on their experiences?

    Radcity direct drive

    I recently was at RAD and test rode every model except the wagon. I would disagree that the gearless Hub on the City was as peppy from a standstill as the geared Hub on say the Rover. That said, funny enough, I liked the City model the best and once it got moving it provided the highest top...

    Why do so few brands offer 52V (volt) batteries?

    Boy, thanks. Somebody else finally gets it with this poster. He makes about as much sense most of the time as a screen door on a submarine. o_O

    Ancient Chinese Secret... Guess what? It's Calgon. :po_O:p

    Vado 5.0 - 45 months ownership - approximately 23,000+ miles

    LOL. The Specialized bike brand is based in Morgan Hill, California. They do research and design, prototyping, and product development at the headquarters. Once the bicycle has been given its specifications, it is produced by a contract manufacturer in Taiwan. The main contractor that...

    Juiced model refresh timing/rate

    I'd love to know as well. Ready to pull the trigger on the CCX and hate for it to be obsolete too soon.

    Vado 5.0 - 45 months ownership - approximately 23,000+ miles

    What's really funny is that you seem to think Specialized aren't mass produced! C'mon... Do you actually think they are being assembled in a small craftsman's attic by hand or something? 🙄 It has already been said; the individual components used are what make the real distinction between the...

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    Thanks. What about the 26" wheels? Have you ridden anything with larger hoops? I've been told that can make a difference for taller riders.

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    To the OP...Very thorough write-up and great pictures. I am seriously considering the bike. Would you say it would be a good fit for a larger male rider? 6'2", 300lbs.

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Looking hard at this bike and enjoyed reading all of the posts in this thread from beginning to end. Lot's of good knowledge here. In the end I am concluding that I might not need such an expensive bike. I live close enough to Seattle to go test ride Evelo's offerings and have already been...

    $1100 now, Patricia. Pretty reasonable however.

    Yes. That I can agree with.

    The elusive $1k quality E-bike... Coming this year?

    Guess I do. I have a family, am on a budget, and need to buy two ebikes so my spouse can enjoy as well. They will never replace my car as I live in too rural of a location and long distances are the norm so I have no cause to compare the two. For the average middle-aged person interested in...

    Why are Brooks Saddles known for comfort?

    The main issue in regard to cycling and prostate problems is to find ways of reducing pressure on the perineum, or groin area, as the prostate is located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. This can be done in a number of ways: from wearing padded shorts, regularly standing on the...

    When was the last time you rode an acoustic bike?

    Think musical instruments here...Guitar in particular. Electric/Acoustic. That's where the descriptions should stay though IMO. It's just dumb to call a regular pedal bike an 'acoustic' bike

    The elusive $1k quality E-bike... Coming this year?

    I hear ya Tom. You don't think battery tech improvements going forward will lower that price bar? I think it's possible. It's all changing so fast.
