    Most Important Fit Parameters

    What diameter is the Atlas seat post? Looking at the Cane Creek Thudbuster Seatpost, it comes in 31.6mm and 27.2mm. It also comes LT and ST, what is the difference and which is best for pavement and gravel roads? Thanks.

    AHicks, Thanks. For this stem with a 1" handlebar and stem diameter of 28.6mm, do these match the Atlas? How difficult is the installation? Are spacers needed?

    What Precautions do You Take When Riding in Remote Locations?

    I carry a Garmin InReach Mini whenever I am on the bike or in the car. I also carry a cell phone. I routinely travel in areas without cell coverage. For me, it is peace of mind. I have used the Mini two times in five years, both cases, for other people. Both cases involved serious, life...

    Is a Slime Seal (Tube) Permanent?

    Would a Slime Seal tube rated at 27.5 (650b) x 2.0-2.4 work in a 27.5 x 2.8"? Can Slime be manually installed in a tube with a Presta valve? Thanks.

    On The Road Repairs

    In the Area13 video, his ebike is without fenders. Not sure his technique would work with fenders and rear rack. :oops:

    On The Road Repairs

    I hear you, ebikes are heavy. During my adventure I was down on my hands and knees during the adventure. I would prefer to work standing up (bad knees!). Does the "kickstand" method work for front tire flats?

    On The Road Repairs

    This is not about a bike stand on a garage floor. This is about a 70+ lb E-Bike that needs a repair on the road or trail (even been here?, see image below). This is a question about how to repair a flat for instance, while on the road or trail. This could also be about other repairs where you...

    Most Important Fit Parameters

    My experience follows your journey, exactly. First the seat height (usually a new, longer seat post), then a longer stem. The stem angle usually involves a lot of trial and error to get the forward lean dialed in properly. The link you provided is "currently unavailable", so still looking for an...

    Most Important Fit Parameters

    I'm the same height with an inseam of 35". I noticed you recently purchased the Atlas. I think the Atlas has a frame size of 17.5", is that correct? Were you able to tune the geometry for a good fit? My non-ebike has a frame size of 19", which made me think 17.5" frame would be too small (maybe...

    Most Important Fit Parameters

    Thanks for the reply. Since my inseam is longer, I have been focusing on the max seat height. The suspension seat post option would provide more length and more inches within the seat down tube. I'm guessing this would yield more stability. But, then the bar height becomes an issue. How much do...

    Most Important Fit Parameters

    First ebike, and so many choices. Some brands offer multiple sizes (eg. S,M,L,XL), others just one size. Most size discussions start with height and weight. When I bought my first bike, frame size was a common parameter. With ebikes, I seldom find a frame size listed. More frequently, a diagram...

    Atlas first impressions

    What brand is the suspension seatpost? I notice the accessory from Evelo is Cane Creek Thudbuster Seatpost ST. What is the difference with the LT? Looks like this adds 4-5" (linkage) to the post length, any problems with this additional length? Is it effective onroad and offroad? What sort of...

    For those of you that have owned the Atlas for months and have accumulated some miles, what are your impressions (likes/dislikes)? Would you purchase the bike again? Thanks.

    Throttle for the Priority Current

    What determines whether you have a black/white arrow? When did you order/receive your Current? How long did your order take from TruckRun? Thanks for taking the time to make this how-to video. Hope your leg recovery goes well.

    PAS Levels on Current

    Can the stock 0-5 be modified via display config to 0-9 for a finer control? Thanks.

    Optional Tire Sizes for Current

    Is the 650b tire width 48mm (1.89in)? Would the frame and stock wheel accommodate a 2.8" width tire such as the Schwalbe Moto X 27.5 x 2.8"? Thanks.

    Atlas first impressions

    So, if I understand correctly, approaching a big hill, I would shift the CVT to "hill", and then as the speed decreased, I would incrementally increase PAS to maintain the desired speed. In doing so, the required leg power would remain relatively constant. Sorry, missed the earlier comment about...

    Atlas first impressions

    How is the noise level of the Bafang M-600 motor? I notice in the YT video review, I could hear the high pitched whine? I have noticed on my rides, ebikes pass me and some are very noisy, some are whisper quiet (not sure what the brands are, too fast to see).:oops:

    Atlas first impressions

    Sorry for the confusing elevation graph. The graph is just 1/2 of the total ride (outbound). So at the turn around, it is uphill for half of the return ride. But, I get your point half of the outbound and half of the inbound will be downhill, so minimal power output. It's the two uphill sections...

    Atlas first impressions

    Still a little confused with the functions of PAS and CVT. Do they work separately? If the CVT is set to "hill", does the pedal effort get easier? If CVT is set to hill would you also want to increase PAS? Thanks.
