    Took the Plunge

    Wow that's the first time I ever saw a complaint about being to fast, I just adjust my electronic shift a little to pedal easier or faster? The throttle only mode is pretty mild if your easy with it. I like the PAS1 level with the transmission adjusted more towards the hill side it is a lot...

    ebikes need more torque IMO

    My mid drive Evelo with the auto rear hub has no problem maintaining speed of 28 mph if the winds are not in my face and I can continue pedaling at that speed, but I see NO advantage to a hub motor over mid drive in any way whatsoever. With the electronic shifting I am usually riding in PAS 1...

    Toyota entering E market with I Road Three Wheeler

    DUH!!!! my bad, must have had my bike on my mind or a major brain fart, it's Elio Motors not Evelo,,, it was a start up around 2012/13 or so and was supposed to take over an old GM plant that had closed.

    Gotta get a shout out for Evelo, customer service is way beyond what would be expected and the bike has run flawlessly. Not one of the big co. but certainly one to consider imo. I love my Aurora!

    Power needed to eliminate need for gears....

    Anybody Know about rechargeable lights?

On my display there is a USB port access and my question is can I just plug the light in and leave it plugged in all the...

    What do you wear when e-biking?

    I agree David being locked in to the pedals as on a regular road bike offers up some hazards. I always wear a helmet good closed toe shoes by Keen, long pants never shorts, and padded underwear bike shorts underneath. Always wear gloves in the event of needing to brace from a fall, and first and...

    Dual Batteries on an eBike ... ????

    What is the advantage to just putting an extra 48v in the trunk bag and slipping in when the first is down? Gives you double the range and no hassles at all.

    Forum fears

    Ride a Evelo and have had NO problems at all, very reliable and their service is second to none. When on sale and specials not much more than some of the cheaper bikes but IMO worth the extra for auto trans hub and full time throttle. The only mtc. I do is air the tires, lube the chain with wax...

    Toyota entering E market with I Road Three Wheeler

    You don't rent the battery on the Toyota and it is equipped with every safety feature required for US market. Cannot tip over as it is equipped with a Gyro and is extremely agile. To me it would be a great means of transport for bad weather and short trips. I hope it comes to market and is made...

    Here is the new stand from Evelo that solves any issues and they sent it to me free of charge.

    Delta in the garage, Aurora on the way.

    I had the Delta and went to the Aurora, love it, much more power and love the full time throttle. As for the fender, mine rubbed on the bottom because the corners were to tight and didn't allow enough clearance as well. I took a wedge and stuck it between the fender and tire on each side and...

    Modes when derestricted

    It's not the E Bikes that are a danger on trails anyway it's the headphone, I phone, I pad, I watch, looking people who don't have a clue the world is going by, even their walking is monitored by electronic beeps, cadence, heart rate, miles covered number of steps and the distance to the nearest...
