The frame size for each model is posted on the respective bike’s page. You can find that information here: Aries, Aurora,Luna, Orion – just take a look at the Specifications section down towards the bottom of each page.

At least one of our models can accommodate riders from 5’1″ to 6’1″.

For taller riders, we offer a compatible stem riser and/or longer seatpost option to enable riders up to ~6’6″ to enjoy our bikes. You can order one or both of these items from the Accessories & Spare Parts section of our site or contact us if you are unsure of the best option for your individual situation.

For riders under 5’6″, we have two options. Our Luna model is well-suited to riders under 5’4″ due to its sizing and its step-through frame. We also offer an XS (small) frame version of our Aurora model, in both black and white colors. Simply contact us for details, or specify that you’d like to receive the Aurora XS size in the Special Order Instructions when placing your order.

Your bike will arrive about 95% assembled. The only assembly you will need to undertake is to put on the front wheel, install the handlebars, screw on the pedals, attach the fender and the front light, and you are good to go! The whole process should not take more than 15-30 minutes, and no special skills or tools are required. Any small tools required are included with the bike.

We also have videos available showing the assembly process for each of our models.

We ship most of our bikes via UPS Ground. Most in-stock orders leave the warehouse by the next business day (Monday through Friday).

It takes up to 7 days to reach destinations in the continental U.S. Our warehouse is located in Sumner, WA, so orders travelling to the East Coast will take a full week to arrive. Closer destinations may arrive sooner.

We use heavy-duty, double boxes for packing each bike to provide maximum protection during shipping. The bikes must ship via ground transport due to federal regulations on the safe transport of equipment containing lithium batteries.

To ensure that every single customer is 100% happy with their EVELO product, we offer the industry’s first 10-Day At-Home Trial policy.

The cost is a matter of perspective. Comparing high-end electric bicycles to the type of e-bikes sold in department stores is really comparing apples to oranges. Department store bikes are meant to be little more than toys, whereas EVELO electric bicycles are meant to replace cars for short-distance commuting and recreational use.

There are a few factors to consider when looking at pricing of electric bikes:

1. Quality of overall components – just as a traditional bike in a department store can cost a few hundred dollars while a bike in a local bike shop can cost $1,000-$2,000+, the difference usually has to do with the components. Better components last longer, work better, and provide a smoother riding experience. At EVELO, all of our bikes use not only high-end electrical components, but also top-of-the-line bicycle components.

2. Service and support – most of our customers make an investment in an electric bike with the intent to enjoy and use it for years to come. Our goal is to provide you with top-notch support not only before, but also after, the sale – whether it’s 3 days or 3 years later. We offer phone support all 7 days of the week, a 24-hour response guarantee, a comprehensive 4-year/20,000 mile warranty, complimentary shipping of warranty parts, and trained customer service specialists who will make sure you are getting the most from your bike.

3. Motor power and range – if you are thinking about getting an electric bike, it’s important that the bike meets your needs in terms of power and range. Our 250W and 500W mid-drive motors provide unparalleled hill-climbing ability, torque, and power. Our high-grade Panasonic extended-range batteries provide you with up to a 60-mile range per charge. We invest in high-quality electrical components to ensure that your EVELO can meet all of your needs.

According to the Sierra Club, “nearly half of all trips in the United States are three miles or less; more than a quarter are less than a mile.” Consider the money you would save by replacing at least some of these car trips by using your new electric bicycle as your means of transport. It would mean no money spent on gas, no time and money spent on parking, no time spent sitting in traffic, and less money spent on car maintenance — not to mention the health benefits that come from being more active.

We sell exclusively through evelo.com, the website you are on at the moment.

This enables us to keep the product cost lower for you. When working through a dealer, there is typically a 35% to 40% mark-up associated with selling a bike through a store. This mark-up is completely understandable – a dealer does add quite a bit of value, especially if they can show you different models, offer ongoing service and support, and so on.

However, our objective has always been to provide a high-quality electric bike line starting at a $2,499 price point. Distributing our bikes through dealers would force us to add that additional 35% to 40% mark-up. More importantly, we believe that in today’s world, we can serve consumers best by shipping direct to them and finding other ways to demo and service the product.

We’ve been doing business online for years, with thousands of happy customers.

Most people buy without test riding an EVELO. That said, we know that some customers like to test ride an electric bicycle before making a purchase. For that reason, we started and developed something we have called the Ambassador Program.

At EVELO, we make a priority of ensuring that our bikes are very easy to service. Due to our unique mid-drive motor design and brand-name parts, any bicycle shop – electric or not – can perform virtually any sort of repair.

This is an important and valid concern we hear from many who have tried, or have considered, trying an electric bike. Therefore, when first designing our bicycles, one of our primary goals was to make our bikes as “stealthy” as possible.

EVELO bikes don’t look much different from a typical bike. To achieve this design, we hid most of the wiring inside the frame, integrated the battery into the rear rack (while keeping it completely functional), and installed the motor into the bottom bracket.

As a result, the only attention your new bicycle should get is compliments on how great it looks. In our experience, most people do not realize that you are riding an electric bike unless you tell them.

While a tune-up is not required, we generally recommend it. A proper tune-up at a professional bike shop will ensure that everything is properly adjusted, lubed, and ready to be enjoyed. You should also arrange for periodic tune-ups throughout the life of your bike.

An electric bicycle is essentially a regular bicycle equipped with an electric motor that is designed to make the ride more enjoyable. Most can operate in three modes:

1.  Pedal-Only – The bike is ridden just like a regular bicycle, powered only by the rider.
2.  Pedal-Assist – The onboard computer activates the motor only when the pedals are turning in order to assist the rider. This mode makes it easier to pedal up hills and against the wind or to go faster on flat ground. The rider can control the level of assistance received from the motor by adjustments to the display unit mounted on the handlebars.
3.  Electric-Only (also known as “Throttle-Only” or “Twist and Go”) – The rider simply twists the throttle to engage the motor and start moving (similar to the operation of a moped). No pedaling is needed when using the bike in this mode, making it great for taking a break without necessarily having to stop traveling.

All EVELO electric bicycles are equipped with all 3 of these options: Pedal-Only, Pedal-Assist and Electric-Only.

EVELO electric bikes − like all electric bikes − are limited by law to a maximum motor-assisted speed of 20 miles per hour on roads. You can still bike faster than that, but the motor will no longer provide assistance once your speed exceeds 20 miles per hour. For example, if you are going down a steep hill, your speed may exceed 20 miles per hourph, and so although you may continue to pedal, the motor will not engage until your speed drops again. The Super-Charged 500W Motor version of all four of our models does provide an off-road-only setting that can help increase your maximum speed up to 25 miles per hour.

The short answer is no, you do not. According to federal laws, a bicycle with an electric motor capable of generating up to 750 watts of power and able to propel a rider to a speed of up to 20 mph, equipped with fully functioning pedals, is considered to be a bicycle or a consumer good rather than a motor vehicle. Therefore, it is NOT under the jurisdiction of the DOT. Although electric bike laws in different states may vary a bit, you can generally operate electric bikes without a license, and in most cases ride them anywhere regular bicycles are allowed.

While it is technically possible to recharge a bicycle battery by pedaling, we don’t consider it a good idea to do so, and EVELO bikes do not have this feature. There are a number of reasons why this recharging method is problematic.

First of all, it would require a much heavier direct-drive motor, which would make the overall bike even heavier.

Secondly, it would also mean constant resistance from the motor, since it is trying to act as a generator. This would mean that if you ran out of power or just wanted to ride around with no battery, you would be constantly fighting the motor drag.

Finally, it is virtually impossible to produce enough energy by pedaling to make a significant impact on your range. You would need to pedal hard, always fighting the motor, for hours on end to get a few extra miles.

Our motors are lighter and produce no drag, so even if you run out of battery power, you will have no problem getting to your destination. If you are commuting to work and concerned about your range and remaining power for the ride home, an extra charger in your office so you can charge the battery during work hours solves this issue.

EVELO electric bikes offer an estimated range of 40 miles per charge in Pedal-Assist mode or 20 miles in Electric-Only (throttle-only) mode with our Standard Battery.

Aries and Aurora models can also be upgraded to our Extended-Range Battery option that offers 50% more range – up to 60 miles per charge in Pedal-Assist mode or 30 miles in Electric-Only (throttle-only).

Luna and Orion models can be upgraded to include the NuVinci Harmony drivetrain which automatically shifts gears for you smoothly and easily.

Please do keep in mind that these are estimated ranges. Bikes are similar to cars in this respect – the mileage (or range) you get from a gallon of gas in your car depends on many factors. In the case of an electric bicycle, the range from a full battery charge depends on things like the terrain, the weight of the rider, head wind, the level of pedal assist used, whether you pedal a bit or not at all, and many other factors.

At EVELO, we made it a priority to make sure that our bikes are very easy to service. Due to our unique mid-drive motor design and brand-name parts, any bicycle shop – electric or not – can perform virtually any sort of repair.

As a result, the only attention your new bicycle should get is compliments on how great it looks. In our experience, most people do not recognize that these are electric bicycles unless you tell them.

While the electrical components do add to the weight of the bicycle, we use some of the lightest components available on the market. The end result is that — depending on the model — our bikes start at around 55 lbs without the battery. While this is a bit more than regular bicycles, it is much lighter than inexpensive electric bikes that use steel frames and Sealed-Lead-Acid (SLA) batteries.

It would mean no money spent on gas, no time and money spent on parking, no time spent sitting in traffic, and less money spent on car maintenance — not to mention the health benefits that come from being more active.

There are a number of differences between the Mid-Drive Motor and a Traditional Hub Motor.

• Performance – Mid-Drive Motors are known for higher performance and torque when compared to a similarly-powered Traditional Hub Motor. A key reason for this is because the mid-drive motor drives the crank, instead of the wheel itself. This multiplies the motor’s power and allows it to better take advantage of the bike’s existing gears. A good way to visualize this is to imagine a scenario where you are pedaling and approaching a steep hill. Typically, you would change gears to make it easier to pedal and maintain the same cadence. A mid-drive motor also benefits from that, enabling it to deliver more power and more range as a result.
• Maintenance – your bike’s Mid-Drive Motor is designed to make maintenance and service extremely easy. You can remove and replace the entire motor assembly by simply removing two special bolts, without having to access any other part of the bike. This means that virtually any regular bike shop can easily perform troubleshooting and repairs. On the other hand, with a Traditional Hub Motor on the rear wheel, even basic maintenance tasks such as removing the wheel to change a flat tire become very complicated endeavors.

That is a great question! To best address it, it helps to look at your riding needs:

You will benefit from a 500W motor if one or more of the following is true:

• You live in a hilly area and you wish to have a lot of torque and power to travel quickly and easily on hills
• You plan to do little or no pedaling (instead relying more on the electric-only throttle) and maintain a higher cruising speed
• You would like to have the ability to increase the top speed up to 25 mph (in off-road mode only!).
• The rider’s weight is over 200 lbs.

You should find the 250W motor enough for your needs if ALL of the following are true:

• You live in a mainly flat area with few small hills
• You plan to use the motor to complement your own power when you need a boost or feel tired, but still plan to pedal most of the time
• The rider’s weight is under 200 lbs.

As you’d expect, the 500W upgrade offers more power – with the main trade-off being the increased expense. Our standard 250W configuration works great for most people, as our unique mid-drive design is incredibly efficient. By providing power at the crank, it makes full use of the mechanical advantage of the bike’s gearing.

People looking to use “throttle-only” mode more frequently, looking to go faster on hills, or simply looking for more acceleration should definitely consider the 500W option.

The assisted top speeds of both bikes is limited to 20 mph per federal regulations – and the 500W versions are able to attain this speed with little pedaling effort. There is an “off-road only” option on the 500W configuration which will allow for speeds up to 25 mph with assist. Keep in mind that actual speed reached will depend on a variety of conditions and will vary.

All four of our models now offer the 500W SuperCharged Motor upgrade. Coupled with a 48V battery, it delivers unparalleled torque and power – enough to tackle virtually any sort of terrain.

As a side note, we put our motors to the test ourselves when several of our bikes were used in the 4,000 mile Trans-American Electric Bike Tour. During the trip across the country, the bikes performed superbly even in steep and mountainous  areas.

No. Since there is a freewheel mechanism built into the motor, when you engage the electric-only mode by using the throttle, the chainwheel will turn, but the pedals will not. In other words, you can easily switch to electric power only without having to pedal.

We placed most of the wires inside the frame and secured the entry points with rubber seals to waterproof everything as much as possible. That being said, we all know that electronics do not work well with water. A little rain will be unlikely to damage anything, but use common sense when deciding where to travel, just as you would with a regular bike or other means of transportation. We also advise against storing the bike in the open where it may be exposed to rain/snow.

We do not generally offer different frame sizes on EVELO bikes, as their design makes our bikes pretty versatile. Depending on the model, the bikes can accommodate people from 5 ft to over 6 ft in height. The adjustable seats make for a comfortable ride no matter the rider’s height.

However, for riders under 5’4″, we offer an XS (small) frame version of our Aurora model (in both black and white). Simply contact us for details or specify that you’d like to receive the XS size in the Special Order Instructions when placing your order. In addition, the Luna is well-suited for riders 5’4″ and under, but can also accommodate taller riders (using a seatpost extension).

The frame size for each model is posted on the respective model page. You can find it here: Aries, Aurora, Luna, Orion – just take a look at the Sizing section in the bottom third of the page.

EVELO Electric Bicycles are built solidly and built to last. That said, we realize that all manufacturers make such claims, so we decided to test our bikes under the most stressful conditions possible. We sponsored the Trans-American Electric Bike Tour – where two individuals (including our co-founder) rode almost 4,000 miles from New York City to San Francisco on unmodified, standard EVELO bikes. During that journey, they crossed numerous mountain ranges, biked on all sorts of terrain, both on-road and off-road – all while towing 60+ pound trailers behind them.

The bikes performed superbly. Find out more about the 4,000 mile journey and how the bikes handled it at the Trans-American Electric Bike Tour website.

While a tune-up is not required, we generally recommend it. A proper tune-up at a professional bike shop will ensure that everything is properly adjusted, lubed, and ready to be enjoyed.

The motor was originally designed in Italy.

Your bike will arrive about 95% assembled. The only assembly you will need to undertake is to put on the front wheel, install the handlebars, screw on the pedals, attach the fender and the front light, and you are good to go! The whole process should not take more than 15-30 minutes, and no special skills or tools are required. We also have videos available showing the assembly process for each of our models.

We ship most of our bikes via UPS Ground. Most in-stock orders leave the warehouse by the next business day (Monday through Friday). It takes up to 7 days to reach destinations in the continental U.S. The warehouse is located in Sumner, WA and orders travelling to the East Coast will take a full week to arrive. Closer destinations may arrive sooner. We use heavy-duty boxes when packing each bike to provide maximum protection during shipping. The bikes are required to be shipped via ground transport due to federal regulations on the safe transport of equipment containing lithium batteries.

Both our batteries and bicycle controllers offer low and high voltage protection. Therefore, you are protected against accidental overcharging and undercharging, both of which can damage the battery. It is also perfectly safe to leave the battery on the charger overnight. We do not, however, recommend leaving it connected to an outlet for more than a day or so at a time.

In order to extend your battery life, we also highly recommend charging the battery every 3 months when not actively using it. Finally, while the lithium batteries do not need to be charged immediately after a ride, we recommend doing so in order to extend the battery life.

These simple tips will help you get the most out of your batteries. More tips are available in the manual you will receive with your bike.

The frame size for each model is posted on the respective bike page. You can find it here: Aries, Aurora, Luna, Orion – just take a look at the Sizing section in the bottom third of the page.

Most of our models can accommodate riders from 5’4″ to 6’1″.

For taller riders, we have sourced compatible stem riser and/or longer seatpost options that will enable riders up to ~6’6″ to enjoy our bikes. You can order one or both of these items from the Accessories & Spare Parts section of our site or contact us for details if you are unsure of the best option for your individual situation.
