    My e-bike has been banished to the garage

    Was just told today to remove that big black thing sitting on the server, a Nativity Scene there now, mine is in the garage as well but keep the battery indoors. Will be some good riding days this winter but not as many as summer, rainy season is here. We get an occasional period of sunny days...

    How far off is the Aurora to a cruiser riding positionwise?

    Now have the riser installed on my Aurora and have not as yet changed the bars out. The stock bars seem just fine now that I put on the riser, the difference between the swept back and stock is minimal and I am in a upright riding position now just with the riser. I also added the Argo grips and...

    Accessories for the bike

    Since getting my new Aurora I found a new hobby, getting all the stuff to go with it! A cool bell OOI, water bottle cage, rear bag for the rack, extra flaming led's for the back, tool kit, pump, new grips, stem riser, Gyro helmet, mirror, locks, bike cover, new riding shorts, new seat, cell...

    Modes when derestricted

    I agree DDBB wind is certainly a limiting factor, living right on the beach in Oregon I can attest to the wind issues. In the months of July and August we get wind pretty much every day at about 11 am out of the North and it can be brutal at times even when walking. So early rides are a must for...

    Modes when derestricted

    I don't think there are any bike police to chase him down? Kind of a joke really, we have people around here riding regular bicycles with gas powered motors doing Way Over 20 mph, and I have already had my Aurora up to 25mph without trying hard. I think it's only in the urban city environs that...

    Tired wrists? Could be your hand positioning.

    I purchased a riser, ergo grips and left the stock bars on my Aurora, also got a set of cruiser bars but the riding position was only changed a few inches overall in width so kept the orig. works very well, took all the weight off my wrists and makes it very easy on the back....

    Front Fenders Yes or No

    I use same mounted mine to a 2x10 in the bed worked great but needed to get up in the bed on my 4x4 which was a pain as it’s very high. I just installed a bed slider and now everything is easily reached from the ground, worth every penny and rated for a 1K lbs. Puts the bikes out of the bed to...

    750W120NM torque automatic

    I know what you mean, I looked for months and. months before finally making the decision to purchase my first bike a hard decision to make with the cost involved. As it turned out I purchased a model that didn't work out for me due to the top tube configuration, had a difficult time getting off...

    750W120NM torque automatic

    Wanted to post this as I notice in some responses people saying the new E hubs are not rated for this much power. My Evelo Aurora is equipped with this new hub system and electronic shifting and it is Very Powerful and climbs hills with ease. R&M is using the new redesigned hubs on their new...

    Cold Weather Biking and Batteries...

    The one I saw was made to fit around the battery while ON the bike making the interior temp go up a bit as it kept the wind off of it while riding. It was in one of Court's reviews and when I saw it thought it was a good idea if you ride in the cold.

    How far off is the Aurora to a cruiser riding positionwise?

    Evelo gave me a 100 dollar gift certificate and I got the swept back bars, riser, and ergo grips so it will be pretty close to a cruiser now.

    pedaling with power off

    There is I think a big difference between a 2015 and 2018, I can ride up any hill around here with no pedal assist whatsoever, just a touch of the throttle, I use the manual mode more than auto and shifting to a lower gear is super easy, simple twist with finger and thumb, I have the electronic...
