    New Aurora 2019 Model

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Here's another thing to keep in mind with the Aurora vs. Gates vs. Enviolo -- that combination requires a heavy-duty stiff frame to resist the torque created. I think they've done a fine job!

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Yeah, that's a sweet system! The only concern was answered by Thomas Weber of Evelo: The manufacturer does not Warranty their system if used with a motor over 350W. Evelo gets past that through their experience, and adding their own Warranty. I think I will LOVE this Gates / Enviolo setup on an...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Here are a few points given to me by Alex at Evelo today (might repeat some info already posted here)... Brake Rotors are 160mm -- he says "That's the appropriate size for a 26" wheel." Brakes are the Tektro Auriga. Seatpost Stem is 27.2mm (in case anyone is thinking of adding the Thudbuster...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Hmmm... the Ltd. Edition is stated to be about 55lbs without the battery. The Biktrix that I bought was over 68lbs! I think the Aurora is about as lightweight as a configuration like this can get. 4" tires add a lot (unless I'm confused -- which is one of the reasons I like the 3" compromise...

    Anybody Familiar with Dapu 750W Mid-Drive Motor?

    Thanks for the responses. I will check out all suggestions.

    Anybody Familiar with Dapu 750W Mid-Drive Motor?

    The new Evelo Aurora Ltd. Edition will be equipped with the Dapu 750-W Mid-Drive Motor connected to a Gates Carbon Belt Drive. I cannot find much about Dapu on the internet -- and nothing about this motor. Anyone know anything?

    How many times have you heard "that's cheating!"? ?

    One of the best personal names given to an eBike was used by a forum member at Sprinter-Source.com for Leisure Unity RV owners: Cheeto! :-) His RV is named Frito! I say "Wear it! Own it!"

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Not to be repetitive, but anybody following this thread or looking into an Aurora should really check out their new Limited Edition. It's got some great new features that I simply cannot find anywhere else. Only 120 will be built this year -- 65 White ones, and 55 Black (I believe). 750-Watt...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    Just ordered mine today. I did post an unofficial announcement here several weeks (months) ago of this upcoming possibility. I was amazed they kept their word and included every small design improvement they mentioned to me in Seattle: Drop-Outs for the Rear Wheel; Hard-Wired LED Lights; 3"...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Latest update from one of the Techs at Evelo's Seattle location, concerning another expected Aurora version (V3), due to be released possibly in late 2019 or early 2020. No guarantees. I want the 3" Tires for usability on different riding surfaces (2" is great for street-only). And I am...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Well, their new Aurora Hub-Drive comes with 3" wide tires. If the Mid-Drive did, I'd be mostly sold. But I am waiting for them to respond about this. There may be a configuration or alignment issue that does not allow the 3" tires with the Mid-Drive's Nuvinci setup.

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    I'm bummed-out because they confirmed yesterday that until the motor manufacturers create, or Evelo can find, a design where the larger motors create a straight inline alignment with the gear on the rear internal hub, we won't be seeing any belt drives on higher than 350W. Unlike derailleurs...

    Mid-drives with throttle/trigger?

    The new Aurora from Evelo offers 500W and 750W Mid-Drive with the Nuvinci Hub and even an Automatic Transmission. Everything I want except fatter tires. Please note that when I asked these questions elsewhere the answers were surprising: 1) How many ebike owners have received a "ticket" for...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    But that is simply not the case. The belts are never mentioned as the limiting factor. The internal hubs are. Nuvinci officially does not warranty anything over 350w concerning motor size. It is stated in their Warranty, in fact. This is the first time I've ever heard anybody claiming the belts...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Uhhh, no. The belts are used in race cars under far greater stress than on a bicycle. The problem is the Nuvinci style hub. I did learn yesterday, however, that Evelo will NOT be releasing an Aurora with a belt drive until 2020, at the earliest (according to Alex in their company) . So the...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    When I visited their Seattle location in April, it was mentioned that the Dual Kickstand was exhibiting some issues with too much strain on the attachment point to the frame, creating some cracks. So they went back to the single leg style. They may be modifying the dual. Also, I was told the...

    Geared hub choices, any advice welcome.

    Perhaps another way to search is to go here to see who is building eBikes with the Gates Belt Drive: https://www.gatescarbondrive.com/bike-brands And please know that Evelo makes maybe the most Nuvinci and (maybe) Gates-equipped eBikes in the industry (if you are looking at eBikes)...

    Bafang Ultra Max Mid-Drive Options?

    Yeah, I was bummed-out about it. It's a beauty. Seems very strong.

    Bafang Ultra Max Mid-Drive Options?

    I had to sell mine before ever riding it. It would not fit my carrier. Bummer! Loved the look and build quality.
