    Mag Wheels

    Had mag wheels on my first ebike (Oct 2016) and they were pretty cool. Wanted to avoid the rusting spokes I was getting on my regular bike when riding the beaches. I'd definitely consider them again, but you don't see them much. As mentioned above, the rear hub would need to be a custom item.

    Mag Wheels

    Mag wheels on motorcycles are an easy way to allow tubeless tires. They are maintenance free but not recommended for off-road/adventure motorcycles.

    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    Hmm.. that doesn't sound great. My wife's Omega just arrived in early October (and then we were out of town for several weeks). We just put 30 miles on it around Columbus and she had 52% left on her battery. But she was running mostly in PAS #1. I have to say that her motor is dead quiet, my...

    I'm a little late to respond, but did you take the plunge? Care to share what you went with? Thanks

    Aurora Limited vs. Omega

    The 30 miles of trails are essentially flat and assist levels are at 1 or 2 (out of 5). So, not very extreme, but these conditions are very similar to the 1000 miles that we put on our Aurora's that would typically be on the last bar after 30 miles. (we never had to push the limits beyond 30...

    Aurora Limited vs. Omega

    We owned both, but the wife just got her Omega in early October (without the optional battery). The Aurora LTD has the advantages when comparing standard features (handlebar cadence control, rear luggage rack, front suspension) but we do like the more modern look of the Omega. We just finished...

    New to EBR, 2 thumbs up for Sena R2 Helmets

    Looks like Red Rock Canyon! First time we rode ebikes (in a guided tour)!

    Hey, I believe if the second half of your ride is essentially downhill, you won't have to worry! But you certainly don't want to run out of juice with significant uphills left. The Atlas is a joy to ride, but I've pedaled it at zero pedal assist and it's not very fun. I have 480 miles on mine...

    Enviolo Automatiq CO Controller

    Yes, they are standard equipment on the Aurora. It is handy for over-riding the automatic cadence that a user establishes when they set up the hub with the phone app. You can increase or decrease your cadence 'on the fly'. Really not a bad option to have, unfortunately Evelo does not supply...

    5 minutes may be possible IF you find the connector behind the frame grommet. As I mentioned in my first post on page 1 of this thread, the connector was buried somewhere inside the frame. I pulled on one wire that seemed to have the most slack and that was a BIG mistake. It pulled apart a...

    The "EVO-2 Display" is a slick little pamphlet that comes with the Atlas. Unfortunately, it's incomplete in my opinion. "Advanced Settings" are not entirely locked as shown in my pic (use 1919 to access). The last 3 items on that list can be changed. Here's a few items that I've found are...

    Atlas first impressions

    You got me there!! I've also encountered some of their website deficiencies when it comes to finding a specific manual. I have usually searched on a topic in their service section but this doesn't always produce results. And as you say, the quick start guide is a dead end! Take a look at...

    There are 6 reviews on the Evelo website from actual owners if that helps. Removing the rear wheel off of any hub-motor ebike is probably a bit complex because of wiring. A mid-drive ebike is certainly easier BUT since Evelo is using the Enviolo CVT rear hub, this complicates removal. I think...

    Atlas first impressions

    YES and YES. There is a lack of documentation on the controller/display which does surprise me since Evelo is an outstanding company. The Atlas is a new model and I believe it replaces the Delta-X which had a similar control system. You can choose 3, 5, or 9 levels of peddle assist by going...

    Atlas first impressions

    Evelo.com shows a few close-ups of the front and rear axles of the Atlas. The front axle is a quick release type, but not a "skewer" like a 10 speed. It is a tubular mountain bike style axle with a quick release on one end and a knurled nut on the other end. The rear axle appears to be an...

    Atlas first impressions

    Just returned from 3 weeks in Hilton Head and put 260 miles on the Atlas. In most cases, I charged the battery after 50 miles with about 25% remaining. Very happy with the performance. Used PAS 1 about 99% of the time. Really would like a little less power assist at level 1 since it's easy...

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    The wife received her ALE in Oct 2021 but it is the newest version with the wireless cadence control and the braced rear frame. The Dapu display is different then from the earlier Aurora Limited and we haven't had any glitches with it. But we are not crazy about the new display simply because...

    Did a tire swap, and the brakes flaked out.

    Here's my quick solution to flipping the bike and protecting the display/switch gear. Pool noodles or pipe insulation work great.

    Evelo has belt tensioning instructions here: https://support.evelo.com/support/solutions/articles/227880-tensioning-a-gates-carbon-belt Basically, you want the belt as loose as you can get without it slipping a cog. Put the bike at max peddle assist and hit the throttle or peddle hard from a...
