    New Aurora 2019 Model

    That isn't normal. My 4 year old Evelo battery still takes a full charge and gets at least 25 miles in various terrain. Also, the battery shouldn't drain when turned off. Does it also drain when off the bike?

    Galaxy ST vs. Aurora

    They say with a torque sensor and downshifting it doesn't take much to get going from a stop. I have never ridden with a torque sensor so I can't compare it to a throttle.

    Galaxy ST vs. Aurora

    Joe, I have full throttle from a stop, but I have often started up without it. Yes, you can shift down from a standstill. The weight difference does matter. The Aurora is a bear to lift. I had to make changes to get an upright riding position while the Galaxy comes already set up. I like the...

    I spent $7500...for 4 ebikes. ;)

    Thumb Throttle

    Is the twist throttle completely broken or can you use a thumb throttle that wraps tightly around the twist throttle, like this? https://1859-northwest.myshopify.com/products/e-bike-thumb-throttle-attachment?variant=41527112009

    Jerry, sorry you have to sell your Aurora. If I was over that way I would take it. I hope your surgery goes well. :)

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Once you fully charge the battery you should have no issues with it draining too quickly. In the unlikely event that you do, the folks at Evelo will most likely take good care of you. The Velo seat on mine is pretty comfortable but I added a suspension seat post to make it even moreso. I also...

    Why an eBike kit.

    Good points brought up on the video. I have talked before about my old Mongoose hybrid that I installed a front hub motor kit on. I really liked that bike but the Adirondack hills were getting harder to climb as I got older. The kit was all inclusive and installation was straightforward. The...

    Hitch Mount Bike Rack

    I have an older version of the Saris Super Clamp. It will hold two ebikes. https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Saris/SA4025F.html If you can't lower the clamps onto the tire in front of or behind the fenders, there are straps for the wheel trays. The new ones also tilt back to access the...

    TranzX DP15 / DP27 Ebike Display Settings

    Are you using 6v lights? If the lights you mounted require a higher voltage they will most likely not light. You can check the output voltage from the controller at the connector with a volt/ohm meter .

    Old Schwinn cruiser...want to make it electric.

    Jaypem, if you like riding your Schwinn, it is probably a good candidate for a kit. The nice thing about a kit is that you don't have to hunt around for parts piecemeal. Everything is included. There are a few companies selling them. I chose Leeds because they received excellent reviews and...

    Riding your Evelo in the Rain

    You're right in that it depends on the bike. This would be a good question for Alex or Dave at Evelo. I can think of two possible water entry points on the Aurora. Assuming you would have a pannier providing some protection for the top of the battery/controller connection, water could still come...

    Riding your Evelo in the Rain

    I have ridden a couple of miles in rain (not by choice)more than once. I wiped everything down as soon as possible and haven't had any issues so far.

    Clocks Forward in USA. Good or Bad

    They could split the difference by just adding a half hour to Standard Time and keep it all year.

    Aurora and Evelo shout out!!

    I added an inexpensive suspension seatpost, stem riser, swept-back handlebars, Mirrycle mirror and a bell.

    Aurora and Evelo shout out!!

    I would agree, Jerry. Although I haven't had to contact them lately, when I was doing research and after receiving the Aurora, I had the same positive experience.
