    what pannier and trunk bags or adapter hooks have you tried?

    My Ortlieb panniers came with these thin wires attached to the top of each bag and on one end you can loop them onto a cable lock to lock them to the bike. They are pretty thin, so could be easily cut, but if someone doesnt have a good knife or scissors or wire cutters, then it provides a small...

    what pannier and trunk bags or adapter hooks have you tried?

    Forgot to mention that I also have another bag I use that has velcro straps that attach to the rack and zippered fold out panniers and that fits fine, only does not hold as much as my ortliebs. So, I use the Ortliebs when going shopping for a lot and need max volume carrying capacity, but use...

    what pannier and trunk bags or adapter hooks have you tried?

    I have ortlieb panniers with their 2.1 latch system. And they are usable, but dont fit great on the fat Evelo rack. The issue with Evelo rack is that it is squarish, rather than a circular tube and much thicker than standard racks. While that probably adds strength, it means most pannier...

    Thanks. If I can get a new cable, then I will try and see how it goes.

    Known Issues & Problems with Evelo Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Thanks. I looked at it closer and saw that the cable had come loose and the plastic plug broke and the wires came out of the plug at the point the cable goes into the rear wheel hub controller. Looks like I will need to order a whole new cable. Although, I would have to figure out out to...

    Known Issues & Problems with Evelo Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Have a new 2019 Evelo Aurora with the 750W motor and NuVinci Enviolo CVT hub. Problem is my Enviolo shifter just died. Light went out and twisting the grip doesnt change the gearing. Ugh. Anyone with a similar problem? Thanks.

    Battery

    I had the same erratic reading and fast reduction in the display reading. I sent the display back to Evelo and they did a software update and that fixed the issue for me. They stated it was only a display issue and not the battery.

    Question for Aurora Owners

    Overall, I like my Aurora. Wish I would have known the limited edition was coming before I ordered mine, as the Gates belt drive and the bigger battery and extended range were just about the last remaining boxes that were not checked. The Aurora checked the most of the boxes that I was...

    Limited Edition Aurora

    That sucks. Not long after I get my Aurora, they come out with a limited edition one with more of the features I wanted. A bigger battery with more range, plus Gates belt drive. Ugh. I wish I would have known and I would have waited. I really wanted more range than what I am getting...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    After getting an update to the display, it seems that the issue with the battery reading seems to be fixed. It does a more gradual decline like one would expect. So, very happy to have this issue resolved.

    The Delta X has the Nuvinci and Mid-drive with wider tires, so imagine it is possible.

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Regarding the battery drain issues, Evelo thinks it is a problem with what the display is showing, not the battery really draining. They have duplicated this issue on some bikes and have a fix. Still waiting to get my display back to see if this trick fixes the issue for me. Regarding not...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Since my last post, John at Evelo said that they had found similar problems and that it seemed to be the display. So, I mailed the display and they are reflashing / updating it now. So, I am waiting to get the display back and hoping that will fix it. Will post after I get it back and try...

    New Evelo Models

    I saw that Evelo has released 3 new models, one of which is offering the Aurora with a rear hub drive, and then a new Aries model in either mid-drive or rear drive. Will be interesting to hear some feedback, when someone buys one. Much lower price, as the rear hub drive means you cant have...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    I guess I just have bad luck with this bike. Discovered my tire was flat when I went to ride it. Luckily it was discovered at home, rather than when out riding it. Of course, it is the rear wheel that is flat. So got the wheel off and no punctures at all in the tire. Checked the inner tube...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Yes, for the first problem about battery draining too fast, Evelo contacted me again and suggested the same thing to deplete the battery below 20-10% and then recharge it a couple of times. I have done this twice, without much improvement, but will try a couple more times. About the other...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    I did try a test charging the battery full to 100% and then taking the battery off the bike and then after 2 days, checking and it was still at 100%. Then tried again putting it on the bike and it was down to 93% a couple days later, so when attached to the bike, something is draining the...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Thanks. I will try to remove it from the bike, when sitting idle, to see if the draining stops.

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Thanks. I will check out that forum. I took the Aurora out for a ride today. Went 7.9 miles in city riding, so some stop and go at signals. Mostly flat, but one block of slight incline, but also coasting on the block of decline. Did pedal assist and tried to get up to a pretty fast...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    My battery drain is about the same after depleting it below 20% remaining and recharging a few times. Will keep trying more and see if it improves at all, but thus far, no improvement noticed. On flat ground, if I use throttle only, battery goes down about 2% - 3% / minute on flat ground...
