I was notified by EVELO that the Atlas is sold out and they don't have plans to restock :( That being said, the Omega is also an excellent choice from them. I did a video on the Omega a few months ago: th-cam.com/video/WwTkACUPXEI/w-d-xo.html
I added the throttle to the Atlas and I LOVE it. Along with assisting in certain riding situations I use mine to help drain my battery at the end of a ride. Evelo recommends recharging the battery at +/- ~20%. So, if I'm nearing the end of a ride the throttle allows me to reach that 20% level by using it. The throttle is not just for convenience, it's a tool to help lower the battery level for recharging.
As for availability, I was told by an Evelo employee recently that the Atlas would be restocked when available later in spring 2024. So it's not clear if it will or won't be coming back.
hi and thanks for your great reviews (&subscribed!). i am interested to purchase the EVELO Atlas but debating between the Priority Current and the EVELO Atlas = your top picks of 2023 &2024!. judging by your 2 videos, they seem similar/comparable in price/performance? can you please kindly indicate between the priority current and Atlas, which do you recommend to purchase ? thanks in advance!
They are both good bikes, but I prefer the Atlas. Smoother motor, an optional throttle and a more comfortable riding posture. And front suspension is a nice plus
Tyler I have the specialized turbo Vado 5.0 that works extremely well. I just had a problem with the enviolo hub, and they are going to replace the entire assembly under warranty. A very important part of buying a bike at a local dealer. The automatic shifting works great and addresses the city stop and start. I have added a burley Koho trailer for traveling and it pulls that easily. I would love if you could do a review on the turbo vado. Thank you Bill Compton

Nice review it reminds me of the Ride1Up Prodigy.
Great video. Great channel! You should make more videos. since you know your e-bikers. 🚲
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
Good review👏👏 I opted for the Evelo Omega, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any option from that company.
Thanks! My preference for the Atlas is mainly due to its more aggressive riding position, but agree that both bikes are great.

Oh interesting. I heard from them in October that they were discontinuing the Atlas model.
@@EBikeCommuting I just got a fresh response from Evelo that the Atlas is returning in May 2024. :)
That’s great news!

Glad to hear your hub was still under warranty. That’s a relief.
I’ll add the Turbo Vado to my reviews list!
Thanks for your review of the Atlas. Since you reviewed the Omega as well, did you find the gearing (min-max) range different (better?) on the Omega?
IIRC the Omega gear range was a bit better than the Atlas, but they were pretty similar
You got me when you hesitated with saying the bike with range in gearing might be problematic for super steep hills .. I live in Pittsburgh 🤔
are these fenders heavy, probably a 1kg?
Those seem like odd handlebars…
