    Aurora and Evelo shout out!!

    Thanks for the responses. I will likely transfer some accessories from my old ebike, like my mirror and bell. I have a loudbicycle horn, but store it in a small side bag, since I was worried someone might steal it and it is still loud enough. Like the loud horn, since I ride in the city and...

    Aurora and Evelo shout out!!

    Jerry, great to hear you are a happy Evelo customer and that Evelo provides great service. I should be getting my Evelo Aurora within a week or two and am really looking forward to it. I have had numerous email communications with Evelo and so far, my experience echoes yours, with great...

    26" wheel zippy commuter other than Stromer ?

    You might want to look at the Evelo Aurora. It is a heaver bike, but comes with comes with a 750W upgraded version that should give plenty of zip. And even the 500W should be zippy enough. Or there is also the Evelo Delta X, if you want some beefier tires and maybe want more of a hybrid that...

    Thanks a lot David. The Ortlieb 2.1 release system that I have came with various sized inserts that you could put into the clip to make it fit more tightly. So, I will have to try and measure it without the insert and maybe the one I have already is the 20mm clip. If so, that would be...

    Took the Plunge

    Thanks Woodie. Good that it is working out for your wife. For me, does not have to be a super upright position, so I probably dont need the stem extender. I am really looking forward to the Aurora, as it checked off so many boxes for me.

    Took the Plunge

    Thanks. John at Evelo confirmed they can deliver it with a side kickstand too, so another box checked off. Just need to check about the Ortlieb 2.1 pannier bags and how to modify to have them fit the Aurora rear rack. Or see if I can find another pannier bag set that will fit the Aurora rack...

    Took the Plunge

    I took the plunge and placed an order for the 750W Aurora with the great Xmas discount Evelo offered. Thanks to those who helped answer some of my questions and also to Evelo, who were very helpful too. It will hopefully be ready next year in Feb-March timeframe for me. Looking forward to...

    More Aurora Questions

    Hi Aurora Owners, I was wondering if the custom rear rack on the Aurora will fit standard panniers clip ons systems, like the ortlieb 2.1 panniers? Anybody have pannier bags with their Aurora? The Aurora bike rack tubing looks a lot thicker and not perfectly round, as compared to standard...

    Delta in the garage, Aurora on the way.

    Thanks for the feedback. Too bad about the fender. Maybe you can try the fix to the fender that Jerry did. If not, can you buy another aftermarket fender that will fit? I also prefer the single side kickstand, as the dual kickstand hangs lower and can scrape, and weighs more, and takes...

    Delta in the garage, Aurora on the way.

    Good luck with your new bike. Curious why did you buy the Aurora, if you have the Delta. Looking forward to hearing your experience with the Aurora after you get it. Did you order the 750w or 500w Aurora?

    Evelo Aurora 750W

    Hi All, In case people are wondering about the Aurora 750W no longer being listed on the Evelo website, the reason is that they do not have any in stock now, but will have it in stock again after next production run. They plan to have it available again in the US around mid-March. Below was...

    Evelo Aurora

    Hi Scrambler, Heard back from John at Evelo and indeed they just pulled the 750W from their website temporarily until it is available again in the US around mid-March. Below was his feedback. "We simply pulled it down as it's not available until the next production run, which will be right...

    Evelo Aurora

    Thanks, indeed the upgraded Aurora with the 750w version is no longer listed on the Evelo website. I hope it was not discontinued. I wonder if maybe if it is not available for a short period of time, as they transfer production to Taiwan. I have an email to Evelo to ask them, so will let...

    The Latest and Greatest from Optibike, R15

    Actually, I only will consider E-bikes that can be throttle only. I want the option to go full pedal only, throttle only, or any combination.

    Evelo Aurora

    Hi All, Saw some people mentioning the possibility of Evelo offering the Aurora with a Gates belt drive. Does anyone know if that will actually happen? Also, can the belt drive handle the 750w motor? I prefer the 750W motor, but would love a belt drive. But, have heard of maybe the belt...

    Removable?

    Thanks! I am leaning towards the Aurora, due to low step thru and better for shorter heights.

    Evelo Aurora 2018 750w

    Curious if the speedometer/digital readout on some of the Evelo bikes like the Delta X or Aurora is removable? Would be worried that if the bike were locked up somewhere in public, that someone would try to steal it, so wondering if it can be removed and taken with you, or if not, how well...

    Removable?

    Thanks. Is it pretty secure? Or can it be removed fairly easily? Like with a screwdriver?
