    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    My new best friend, Logan, with whom I spent almost two hours this morning, at the LBS, enthusiastically told me that he is "scheduled" to meet with representatives from Evelo and a bunch of E-bike brand reps (Dost and Vaast are two names he mentioned) at an upcoming dealers show. Did he say...

    See, memory isn't completely shot! Thanks rbeckert.

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    I get the idea Priority is a bit mum on the motor they use for the Current. However, some owners, in the past, had figured out which motor was used in their Current (I can't remember what it was called). One guy was able to contact the motor manufacturer and order the cable he needed to add a...

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    That's more or less what the Evelo Atlas designer says in a review by Court at EBR. They, as the manufacturer can make changes but not the end user. The Current ships as a class 1 -20mph max but the owner can easily change that with the controller to class 3. I never paid attention whether or...

    I think Specialized should reward him and offer trophies, merchandise, and regular bicycle upgrades! 👏

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    Good points for sure. I do think-after extensive research- that for higher quality ebikes, with a good warranty, owners will be able to find parts and service, even on the motor and electrical system with the support of the company that made the bikes. I'm taking Zen, Vvolt, Evelo and Priority...

    Available now with bonus $200 off. If the put it on Costco Next they would probably sell quite a few.

    Great news! @Jdmass Congratulations on your new Priority Current. Thanks for sharing your experience and Welcome to EBR - I’m finding it helpful and entertaining. I appreciate your compliments on Priority’s customer service as I hadn’t read much about that, although they did answer my emails...

    thanks for the suggestion TrevorB - I looked up dropper post but will have to look into further - is it to make the seat raise and lower easier?

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    Hey Stefan - Changing the Class is illegal- that's news to me. I just know that Priority offers that option. They sell the Current as Class 1 -20mph with the option to increase the speed to 28mph. I have had a few motorcycles over the years. I often toured/camped all over the Sierra Nevada...

    I started a new thread because I didn't know where else to post this; Atlas throttle option suggestions; on & off the handlebars. Hello Atlas owners and anyone with suggestions. I would like ideas about how one might be able to have an Atlas and throttle but be able to attach and detach the...

    Evelo Owners, what do you do when..........

    I sent Evelo an email and asked this question; bold followed by the answer from Evelo; Also, beings that the Atlas is a newer model, and a few models have been discontinued already, how will people be able to get parts for their bikes if the model goes out of production? We still have parts for...

    Costco Next Out of Stock for Current

    I'm with you about your likes; mid-drive, integrated battery, belt, and torque sensor. I also need a removable battery to save if from the cold winters and hot summers. There are a lot of choices that look like the battery was an after thought and it seems to be that way on a lot of beach...

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    Made it to REI today and the bicycle technician helped me understand a great deal more about working on D2C bikes. They will work on any bikes as long as the manufacturer can support and offer parts. There are 3 different REI stores all within 2-3 hours of me so I feel like I'm covered. Not...

    Costco Next Out of Stock for Current

    I don't know as mush as I probably should about tire sizes. Have you looked at Vvolt bikes? Actually, come to think of it, I think they may have narrower tires. Did you see the post about Priority E Coast? I don't know how to copy links put you could find it in a search. Priority's new...

    Atlas throttle option suggestions; on & off the handlebars.

    Hello Atlas owners and anyone with suggestions. I would like ideas about how one might be able to have an Atlas and throttle but be able to attach and detach the throttle easily. I don't (yet) have an Atlas but seriously considering it. I also want a throttle and while OH SO MANY hate the...

    Costco Next Out of Stock for Current

    I like the Current also - especially the Costco Next price! but I'm leaning towards the Evelo Atlas for the throttle option (Omega comes w/a throttle). One thing to note; The Omega has an Enviolo Automatic. The Current has choice of Shimano 8sp (available now at CN) and Enviolo CVT - only at...

    Front page LA Times today regarding Ebikes

    @Mr. Coffee said; If we want e-bikes to be accepted in civilized society a damned good start would be to behave in a civilized fashion. Good luck with that! We can hope. I see your point -a lot of the posts on this forum -lack- civilized fashion. Which might help to explain; Many folks...

    Costco Next Out of Stock for Current

    Just checked again - Current with Shimano is available- but not Enviolo. The 20% discount at Costco Next for Priority bikes and accessories- not Priority’s entire product line - really temps me. I’ve been holding out to see if they “restock” the Enviolo since it is available at the regular...

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    Good tips- thanks TrevorB - yeah a throttle is on my list of hope to get and one reason Atlas is fighting for top place over the C380+. I might have to check out Class 2 bikes. I hadn’t thought of straps or clips but they might help. When I used to commute I had clipless and they seemed to...
