    Omega handlebar height adjustment

    You'd better contact Evelo on this one. I'm not sure that adjustment is possible with the standard stem. I've always thought that Evelo should have gone with the adjustable type for versatility. You can find dozens of these on Amazon in the 20 dollar range. Adjustable stems

    Omega vs Aurora

    I'd vote for the Omega. We had 2 Aurora's and they were nice (w/ rear rack & suspension fork) but they are a bit harder to get your leg thru the frame and are somewhat heavier. The Omega has a better battery and charger and a cleaner/modern look. The optional rack is overpriced so I went with...

    2022 ATLAS - 6 MONTHS & 800 MILES LATER

    As for an update: I'm quite happy with the performance of the 55/22 sprocket combo. I still rarely use the lower gear ratios, they simply aren't needed with an ebike for my type of riding. I think I would go to a higher ratio if I could, but I am satisfied that I made the change.

    2022 ATLAS - 6 MONTHS & 800 MILES LATER

    Take a few pictures of the hub/sprocket before the swap. It's important to get the sprocket completely seated onto hub before re-installing the snap ring. The snap ring is a little tricky because it doesn't have the traditional tabs like the flat style. It MUST be seated completely in the...

    General question for Aurora/ Omega owners.

    Torque sensing on the Aurora, Omega, and Atlas works quite well in my experience. I've seen some sketchy situations on other brands that use cadence sensing, where a rider might be stopped and a slight movement of the pedals will launch the bike forward! I've also seen incidents with...

    General question for Aurora/ Omega owners.

    The Aurora and Omega have identical drive/control systems except the Aurora comes equipped with the wireless cadence control (at least our '21 model was this way, but the wife now has the Omega with the optional wireless control added). They both have throttles and I believe they can simply be...

    Great sale going on now at Evelo

    The Omega uses the same handlebar as the Atlas (25" across at the end of the grips). I wouldn't call it a 'cruiser style'. The Enviolo full auto rear hub is pretty slick. Automatically gears down at a stop and maintains a consistent cadence as your speed increases. You can easily add the...

    Quietest motor?

    The wife has the Evelo Omega and I have the Atlas. The Dapu MD750R on her Omega is virtually silent. My Atlas with Bafang M600 has a 'light whine' that is pretty subtle.

    Great sale going on now at Evelo

    Holy Smokes! That's a great price, a thousand less than what I paid!! I wonder if that's the 'new normal'?

    Aurora Limited SL

    Ah-ha, I didn't realize Evelo had modified some of their returns! I wouldn't have any concerns about the chain strength. The majority of mid drive ebikes on the market are still using chain and derailleurs. I have the Atlas with the manually shifted Enviolo hub (same as the SL) and it works...

    Aurora Limited SL

    I'm a big fan of the Evelo/Gates Belt/Enviolo drive system, which is not all that common in the ebike market (yet). But they do command a much higher price. The Aurora Sport (Limited SL??) with the chain drive, derailleur, and hub drive puts it into a VERY crowded market with a lot of other...

    2022 ATLAS - 6 MONTHS & 800 MILES LATER

    Finally got everything together and installed the 22t rear sprocket and 125t belt. Had to run the belt adjustment to the minimum center distance but it just fit. Original ratio was 55/26 = 2.12, now 55/22 = 2.50. Sunny and in the 40's so I got out and put on a few miles and I like the change...

    Rear View Mirror for Bike

    I also picked up the Hafny mirror for my Atlas and it works quite well (very nice quality). They are $15 thru Amazon. My bike tipped over and mirror got smacked and the plastic stem cracked near the joint. It still functioned but I did use a glob of epoxy to reinforce the cracked stem. The...

    2022 ATLAS - 6 MONTHS & 800 MILES LATER

    The Atlas uses a 55/26 sprocket combination with a 128T belt (Gates CDX series). And the 55T front sprocket appears to be the largest available with the 4 bolt mounting pattern, therefore a smaller rear sprocket is the only way to get higher gearing. Unfortunately, there is only about 5/8" of...

    2022 ATLAS - 6 MONTHS & 800 MILES LATER

    Really pleased with the Atlas and feel this model is quite unique. Mine arrived in August 2022 and it’s working very well. I’m very impressed with the range of the standard battery. I run PAS #1 probably 95% of the time on mostly flat paved trails and I can easily get 50 miles with 15-20%...

    Atlas throttle option suggestions; on & off the handlebars.

    Spend the 35 bucks for the throttle! To get a quick start across a busy intersection To get started from a dead stop in awkward situations when its difficult to get your feet on the pedals Works great in sand, gravel, or sketchy conditions when you need to keep both feet on the ground Blip...

    Atlas first impressions

    NO! The knurled end must remain on the outside! The longer smooth end recesses into the left fork leg.

    Atlas throttle option suggestions; on & off the handlebars.

    Wow! Are there really "throttle Police" that monitor trails in your area?? I'm in northeast Ohio and have ridden a few places in Columbus, Millersburg (Amish country), Mansfield, Mt Vernon etc and I've never encountered anyone that was interested! The Atlas can only achieve 28 mph at full...

    Atlas first impressions

    rbeckert!! Your front axle is installed wrong! That knurled nut needs to be on the left fork. It should not be sticking out like that. Remove the axle and insert it thru the right side fork.
