    Hello, Evelo. Please respond.

    Have some 900+ miles on my ALE with the Dapu 750W mid-drive. After about 200 miles usage the motor developed what seems to be the reviews - - - " when climbing uphill there is a strange quirky noise " I would not classify the sound as unbearable, however it is strange and quirky. When motor...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Most likely yes would buy again. However, new Evelo Galaxy 500 would be considered. It does not have an in-frame battery but is a bit lighter/smaller which could be handy for when I'm travel trailer traveling. Plus if Evelo has the new Galaxy 500 someone else might have a new NuVinic mid-drive...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Mini User Review 950 ODO Miles, 8 months ownership Overall a 5-Star Bicycle. Enjoy more each time I ride. Helps that ALE has all the 'must have features' in fact did delay buying an e-bike for three years waiting for someone, hopefully Evelo, to build one. Those must haves...

    Evelo Galaxy 500 review: automatic transmission

    Surprised to see price same as Aurora Limited. I'd welcome the 17 pound lighter frame when loading/unloading from vehicle. Other than the Galaxy 500 being slightly smaller difficult to see advantage over Aurora Limited - - - - unless one needs the smaller size.

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Dead Throttle Update May-2020 Well in April after several days of rain the throttle stopped working again. Unplugging the L/R Brake wires did not clear the failure. Evelo service sent me a new Motor Controller Unit. Installed yesterday { [ real world example of too many worms in the can ] }...

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    I've also experienced what I assume is Belt Skipping. It most often occurs from a Dead Stop with [1] High Right Pedal Force when the [2] Pedal is in the 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock position and [3] NuVinic in a high gear. So of course I try to avoid that combination . . . teaching myself to...

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    Battery Size; My bike was part of the 200-unit introduction build last year. It has the same battery as yours, 14Ah 672Wh. Battery Range / Mileage; really depends on your riding style . . . how much assist you use. I'm 180# and run the tires at 19psi front 20psi rear, a bit higher than the...

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    @Don Adams ; ? ? ? ". . . have the bar end mirror to add but the grip is incredibly thick and so not sure I should cut it. Might have to just drill a hole to get a razor knife to work. . . . We bought a Galaxy the same day and that one had a plug" Don't the Limited have a removal plug like...

    Evelo Accessories for Aurora Limited Edition - Suggestions?

    Ordered my Aurora Limited Edition with the comfort package; Cloud 9 seat, Thudbuster, nicer grips. The combination is very comfortable. My human power bike has just a Cloud 9 seat and the Thudbuster makes a very positive addition.

    Limited Edition Aurora

    New Issue: Dead Throttle On most recent 28 mile ride the Throttle stopped working twice. I generally only use it from a dead stop and the first time it did not function I was in city traffic - - - not a great feeling - - - I will be contacting Evolo, but until then . . . any thoughts...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    I also only use Manual Mode on the NuVivic/Enviolo. Really wanted a cable/manual hub but as we know that was not an option for the Limited. I've not run the battery to dead but frequently get to One Bar on Display and Only the Red LED on the battery pack, always in the 28-30 ODO Miles range...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    I use the PAS levels a lot. Try to use lowest level when possible to increase battery miles range. Plus the last half mile or so home is a big hill . . . PAS 4 or PAS 5 if I'm done in are needed to climb

    Limited Edition Aurora

    PAS Power Level Down Shift = = How to Make it Smoothly? OK, no issues shifting the NuVinic gears. Is always smooth. No issues increasing the PAS Level; 2 to 3 for example. Is always smooth. Decreasing PAS always has a period of Dead Time . . . as if motor is off. I've been PAS Down Shifting...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Am now at 300 miles ODO. Recently completed a 37 mile and 33 mile ODO ride and still had some battery reserve. ODO compared to Google Map miles was off by 5% . . . ODO * 0.95 ~= Google miles This is about the same as the 10-22-19 data set. The more miles ridden the more I like this e-bike.

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    Agree with your 10/26/19 warning to double/triple check the factory assembly. I've now got 100+ miles since the Evelo Seattle Service office completed re-tune/check while replacing a factory damaged power cable. Bike is riding very nice indeed now. Have had one belt jump since the service. It...
