I have not. Sorry. That's why I would call them to ask specific questions about your situation. Their guys are very knowledgeable. They advised me to wait for this model when I was looking - based on my stated desired features. I never got the sense they were being misleading.

Not the OP, but I own this bike, as well. I am male, 5'-10" and currently weigh 270lbs. I would say "Yes!" -- it was one of the reasons I purchased this (it handles more weight). Plus, the features I wanted are all included - racks, step-thru, fenders, hidden cables for direct-powered lights...

Thanks for responding on such an old post. After getting rid of the Biktrix Juggernaut -- the looks of which I loved -- I took awhile to look over the options. I ended up buying the new Evelo Aurora Limited Edition with the Gates Belt Drive, etc. It just arrived. No unboxing, yet. Hoping it will...

I thought the plank and sawhorse idea was great! I will look into the compressor attachment -- oops! Just found out my ViAir Compressor includes a very similar device, already. Another good idea, though. The RV is where I will be keeping the bike, but I think I can store the sawhorses easily enough.

Since I do not have my Aurora, yet, which version of the Thudbuster should I order? Rather than pay well over $230 for the Kinekt, I think I will try one since Evelo just told me that my weight should still work functionally okay (just not the Warranty). I am... 265 Lbs 5'-10" Tall 30" Inseam...

Thanks all for the input. I went ahead and ordered the Cloud 9 that was at such a nice discount. I will look into the seatpost further. There must be a reason why Evelo offers the Thudbuster, but they are quite a bit under my weight range, and take up a lot of room under the seat. The answer I...

That sounds good. Another question on the Cloud 9 Seat replacement... I did not realize there were several versions. Some with Suspension. Does the Suspension model work on a bike equipped with Thudbuster or Kinect posts?

The Thudbuster Seat Post is on sale at Amazon: $97.67 Any thoughts on that brand vs. Kinect 2.1? Let me add that I currently weigh 265 Lbs (I know, I know... right?). The Thudbuster only seems to go to 250 on their charts. Some versions of the Kinect go higher. Wondering how much this matters...

Thanks for this great write-up! These take time - especially with photos. Much appreciated.

Thanks! Did you find changing the headlight to be difficult?

Thanks!

I have not received my Aurora Limited Edition 2019... yet. It's in, but my RV is in storage, and I'm dealing with family issues at home in Maryland - and trying to sell my house. So this is NOT the fault of Evelo. They are having a Cyber Monday sale on Accessories tomorrow. I would like...

I knew I saw that somewhere. Their website! Silly me. And that looks like Thomas Weber, the, Tech at their Seattle store - filmed there, too. Thanks!

Those of you who had an Evelo Aurora shipped direct - not to a bike shop: What was entailed in completing your assembly?

First, Digital Trends claimed that VanMoof was lying about their ebike being hard to steal. They went on and on about every aspect being a false claim, or easily defeated. That was about a week ago. Today, they are RETRACTING every statement, and alologizing to the company. They trusted the...

Apparently, they do. It will be on the new Aurora Ltd. Edition by Evelo, with Peak Power at 1,000W. I just cannot find much info on Dapu. But what I do find is pretty positive.

I have read a lot on these since 2012. Not an expert, however. Here's my take... Belts are lighter, cleaner, and last forever. Chains are less expensive and fit far more frames. The frame on a bike has to be engineered to work with the belt, and requires a stiffer frame to handle the increased...

Here's another tidbit from email discussions with Evelo, but I have no way to confirm this: "Tires are made by Innova specifically for us. There is no model affiliated with it and isnt available anywhere else." The website lists them as CST. But I have spotted 3 or 4 typos from the beginning...

I am getting excited for this new Ltd. Edition, now that I finally made the decision. I think they are down to less than 30 from the 120 available. If you do not need it soon, then waiting until 2020 might bring a few improvements, and maybe a better price. One thing I am having to fight against...

Just a comment of chain vs. belt drive -- If you get the belt drive it should be a far different experience than anything you've ridden. Integrated Rear Hub and the Gates Belt Drive seems to be where Evelo has concentrated a lot of their efforts. It's a far simpler, maintenance-free setup that a...
