I read two things yesterday that makes owning an ebike more difficult. First is an article that appeared on Bicycling.com by Peter Flax published Jan 31, 2023. It is an article about the horrific accident suffered by two children on a RadRunner ebike manufactured by Rad Power Bikes. The article...

As mentioned in an earlier post a few days ago, EVELO had emailed me a request to schedule a 15 minute phone call for a "30-Day Customer Follow Up". A gentleman called yesterday, on time, and I got an opportunity to discuss my concerns, questions, comments and complaints. He was very patient and...

You're right. That's the way I had it and when I looked at the printed instructions again it seemed to show knurled end inside. The assembly video shows the knurled section on the outside.

Good catch! Plus, the nut was reversed with the knurled end to the outside!

I've got a Riese & Muller Roadster that has "ECO", "TOUR", "SPORT", and "TURBO". "ECO" is 60% assist, "TOUR" is 140% assist, "SPORT" is 240%, assist and "TURBO is 340% assist. I've got my Atlas set up in the 3 level of assist. Pretty cool that this is an available feature.

I received an e-mail from Evelo yesterday wanting me to schedule a 15 minute phone conversation with one of their support team members because it's been 30 days since receiving my Atlas. (Nice gesture!) I'm scheduled to receive a call from them on Wednesday, February 1st, 3:30 ET. The question...

Here's the YT link.

Thanks for the input. My solution was re-angle the arm with the attachment loop. That still didn't reach so I used a longer bolt and shimmed the attachment point to the fork with a nut and 3 flat washers that I had lying around. The design clearance between the tire and the fender is super close.

Evelo has been super getting back to me on other things. I've emailed them with questions before and after receiving the Atlas and their response time is like 3 hours and very friendly. Yes, I like the R&M. They have a dealer both in Columbus OH and Pittsburgh PA, each a 4 hour round trip so I...

I purchased the Atlas at the end of last December and overall, I'm pleased with the ebike. I currently own a 2021 Riese & Müller Roadster Vario (7,700 miles) and previously owned a 2020 Trek Allant+ 7s (1,600 Miles). The Atlas survived the UPS shipping to northeast Ohio intact except for a bent...

I understand your dilemma. I was in a similar situation 2 years ago. I'm 76 years old, male, 5' 9". I decided to get an ebike and looked at GIANT, TREK, SPECIALIZED, and STROMER at 2 LBS's. I also liked the RIESE & MUELLER Roadster Vario. I opted to order the R&M (5 month delivery) and purchased...

Very encouraging. It would be nice if all LBS's adopt this policy.

Actually, “Except that the smartphone hub, uniquely, forces the user to USE a smartphone as the display.“, is not true. From BOSCH, 'No need to have your smartphone on your handlebar: The 1.5-inch LCD display integrated in the SmartphoneHub displays the most important riding data and allows you...

I don't think the Smartphone Hub exacerbates or even IS the problem. The issue is, use something long enough or intensely enough and there will be ramifications.

I thought about that but decided not to replace the screen because the phone was 2.5 years old and I figured the battery would start to die.

Do you use the phone at full screen brightness when mounted on the bike? I ride in bright, midday sunlight so I imagine it was on full brightness.

Gradually.

I have about 500 hours on a Samsung Galaxy S10e using it for the display on my ebike. The screen is pretty much trashed. Using SCAN & GO at my local Sam's Club, the QR code generated on screen to use at checkout was unreadable. The photo below is the screen showing a plain, white background!

Dropped from the deal is a tax credit worth up to $900 to help cyclists purchase electric bikes. Also gone is a pretax benefit for commuters to help cover the cost of biking to work. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/08/02/electric-bikes-incentives-cyclists-climate-deal/
