Thanks Jerry, good to know. The capacity doesnt hold as much as my Ortlieb's, but at least I have got something. And do you attach the straps on front of the MaxMiles bag to anything or are the 2 on the bottom of the bag that go under the rear rack all you need?

One other point I forgot to mention on the display. It is possible to password protect the display, so when one tries to power it on, it needs a 4 digit code to get to the display. So, that is a protection that is nice to have, although is a bit of a hassle to do each time you go for a ride...

Sorry, have not removed mine, but does not look too hard to do, just about 7 screws. But, would be a bit of a hassle to put on and off every time you transport it, unless you are planning to just leave them off.

Thanks. I tried it today, level 1, flat road, easy pace, and it is moving somewhere between 375-500 W. So, in your case, do you know if it was the reflashing of the controller that helped or was it simply the dozen or so depletions and recharges after the reflashing or both? Since John...

Hi Woodie, I will have to try it on flat ground level 1 and see what the watt meter shows. I assume it will vary depending how hard I pedal, so what kind of pedaling are you talking about? thanks. If trying the depletion doesnt work, I will ask Evelo about what they did for you. Thanks.

Thanks. I did get a reply from John at Evelo below and yes Evelo has been helpful all along the way thus far. I dont think it is the display gauge itself, because checking the battery charge on the battery itself with the 5 lights also shows a similar fast drain that seems to align with the...

Thanks Jerry. I was optimistic that it would be better after your post. But, I finally got the charger and did an initial charge of 12 hours (actually around 13 hours) and was hopeful the problem would go away. But, then did a quick test ride of 1.2 miles over about 5 minutes of mixed riding...

Thanks. I am still waiting for the charger to be delivered, so hope it gets here soon. I sure hope this is not normal battery usage, as it was dropping very fast. I am only about 135 lbs, so that should help, and only did a short test ride for maybe a mile or so for about 5-10 min on...

Just got the new 2019 Aurora Evelo delivered a short time ago. Great service from Evelo to have it delivered to my place free and assembled. Said it was the very first bike sold for this new 2019 model year, as the rest will be on their way soon to the USA. While I was a bit hesitant...

Thanks David. Been getting a lot of rain lately, and while I dont usually ride often in the rain, can get caught in a rain, so good to know.

John mentioned that it should be ok, as long as you dont submerse it water and try to avoid using a high pressure sprayer on it, but that being from Seattle, it was made to handle some rain. Also, I include the comments from the Aurora manual below? Looking forward to getting my Aurora...

HarryS, that compartment where the controller is stored in your photo looks quite similar to my ebike. Although, mine wasnt quite so jammed with the wires. And Ian, thanks, will keep Flex Seal in mind.

Hi All, Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, the shop that made the custom e-bike is the one I took it to for repairs. It is still under warranty, so they are doing the fixing for free. I would imagine that since it is just a small shop, that the design for water proofing the box housing the...

Thanks. Good to hear. I know sometimes you need to ride it somewhere to do something with a risk of rain or take a ride not knowing it will rain, and then may not have a choice. I have the same problem. Wonder if in general, how well E-bikes are made for handling wet weather. Of course...

Hi All, Just curious if any Evelo Aurora owners ride their bikes in the rain and any concerns with the electrical components? I have had some problems with my old E-bike (not an Evelo), where the controller got wet, and killed it, after riding in the rain. Will try to seal it with...

I have a custom e-bike, made by a bike shop in the city I live. It is a rear hub drive motor, class 2 with throttle, and has a vertically standing battery that sits behind the down tubing that holds the seat post. The controller sits in a box below the battery, with a face plate with 4...

Ah, ok thanks. It was your bell that I was asking about. My bell is a simple mechanical one, but looks like there will be no place to get it close enough to the hand grip, so that one can ring it with a thumb, with the hands still on the hand grip, unless i can rig up an extension to the...

TCR, Thanks for the info on the Evelo bag. I think my MaxMiles bag is somewhat similar to that Evelo bag. In fact, my MaxMiles bag looks exactly like the Cool Change bag that Jerry showed in his photos. Must be the same manufacturer, selling it to others with different brand names...

Ah, ok. I got the MaxMiles bag below on Amazon and it is secured with velcro straps, so can fit any bike rack. It is secure enough and hopefully will last and stay secure over many uses. The foldout panniers are really nice, as you can zip them away when not in use and then fold them out...

TCR, That is quite a list of accessories, but I imagine I wont be far behind you. What is the Evelo trunk bag? I did not see that on the website. I will let you know about whether my Ortlieb panniers fit onto the Aurora rack, after I get the bike and try to see if it fits.
