    Evelo Galaxy 500 review: automatic transmission

    Hi @jaizon, As funny as it may seem, the rigid fork on the Galaxy actually costs more than the suspension fork on the Aurora, due to being made custom for this bike. The motor is the same cost, though the battery is a small bit cheaper. The Galaxy 500 is also a lower-production model; In the...

    Compass HeadLamp voltage and max current for alternate brighter lamp?

    Hi Leo, We're happy to take your questions, especially for easy things like this. The light operates at 6 volts, and I believe the max current is 0.5 amps, for a total of 3 watts. All the best, David Dye

    Hello, New here..

    Hi Randall, and thanks for your support! The motor is made for us by Dapu, and isn't part of their normal offering so you won't find much information about it. Like basically all e-bike motors, it's made in China. So far, they've treated us quite well. I've had my test mule on a cargo bike for...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    Ah, you were referring to a broken chain; I must have misread that. Fine, sure... any mid drive is dependent on a chain or belt, just like a traditional bike. 1 point to hub drives for that I guess. With that said, broken chains are just incredibly rare, even with the added torque of a motor...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    "Make sure you try one. I think you'll change your mind." - Dave, I got my first fatbike about twelve years ago, and the Surly Pugsley will always have a place in my heart, no matter how many fatbikes today are much, much better. 2013 was really the watershed year for fatbikes, with every major...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    Hi Dave, Designing a bicycle is always an exercise in compromise. You set your goals and design to best meet them. True fatbike tires would have greatly impacted cost and weight, as well as lead time and would require a smaller cargo area in order to still fit in a shippable box. It's not...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    The Compass does now deliver power to both wheels, as well as braking to both wheels, so there's no more torque-steer! You can also make much tighter left hand turns now. It also offers improved step-over with the revised front end. The old Compass was very good, but this iteration is even...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    I'll try to clarify a couple things... First: yes, we've seen some issues where the display was incorrectly reporting State of Charge. That was a new trick for us, but easily remedied. Regarding belts and Enviolo (Nuvinci): The larger Bafang motors just do not line up correctly to use a belt...

    How far off is the Aurora to a cruiser riding positionwise?

    Hi Folks, The Aurora has been updated to a significantly higher handlebar straight out of the box, for all bikes shipping this month or later. You probably aren't going to need a stem riser. @Al P you should check with the manufacturer, but most stem risers are not meant to be doubled up like...

    Big and Tall rider and my new Evelo Delta

    Hi @echristensen, your stock seatpost is 31.6 mm x 350 mm. While this works well for most people, it doesn't work for everyone. You might be better served by a longer post. You can get 400 mm posts easily, just be sure to get the 31.6 mm diameter. (and please don't ask my why the convention is...

    Hey @echristensen, I think you can find that cover here: http://www.electricscooterparts.com/battery-charger-connectors-coaxial.html Sroll down and look for part CNX-556-COVER We don't stock just the cover for that battery (you're actually the first person I've heard of losing it) and it is...

    New Aurora 2019 Model

    Hi TWBKR, I had mentioned this a while ago, but we think this should work to mount your Ortlieb bags on an Aurora https://ortliebusa.com/product/ql2-1-20mm-top-hooks-e193/ We don't have confirmation yet, as none of us own the matching bags, so if you do try it, please let us know! Also...

    Riding your Evelo in the Rain

    Really, most anything other than actually putting it underwater should be fine. Avoid the car wash as well. Some of our older displays weren't as waterproof as the more recent parts, but even they were fine in the rain. Use some common sense about it and you won't have a problem. Go ride, for...

    More Aurora Questions

    Hi TWBKR, This is David with EVELO. You may have seen my comment in another thread about this, but we think this part will let you use your Ortlieb panniers with the Aurora: https://ortliebusa.com/product/ql2-1-20mm-top-hooks-e193/ Let us know if it works!
