E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 How important is a mid-drive motor in your considerations when shopping for an e-bike? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
I love mid-drive systems because they allow the motors to use the transmission of the bike. That's why quality mountain ebikes always use mid-drive systems. This bike may be my next; in addition to the mid-drive the swept back handlebars are more comfortable, and it has fenders.
I like my Atlas, my only complaint is the cord coming from the screen to the bike, inside the post. When turning sharp the cord gets too tight and it comes unplugged. It needs to be about 1 inch longer. To correct this, I brought it out from the cord wrap/organizer. This gives it just enough length to not come unplugged. Looking at the bike sitting next to the reviewer in this video, I see that the wire on their bike is also tight. Evelo should address this.
I am a fatalist. If something bad can happen it will. For that reason I like the hub motors. If the battery dies you can pedal, if the chain breaks you can still drive it home.
I have ridden bikes all my life and for many thousands of miles and did have 1 chain break, but it was my own fault. The belt drive this bike has is extremely unlikely to fail.
My wallet only allows for a budget friendly bike, so I got the Ride1Up LMT'D. If I had no limits on a budget, this would absolutely be the bike I would get. Mid drive with a belt and internal hub shifting, along with the comfort, this might be a perfect e-bike.
Bet it weighs a lot. Yes, weight matters. Even on an eBike. Especially when doing stop-and-go commuting. That hub is nice but heavy and between that and the optional rear-mounted battery, it's a lot of weight in the rear.
66 lbs w/ one battery, 76 with two. Chonky for sure but I have the Evelo Aurora which is like 72 lbs with an 11 lb Kryptonite chain that I keep on top of my rack and it's actually fine. I might upgrade the brakes at some point (prefer hydraulic) but I also never need to slam them.
@@MyLifeInTheDesert You may not notice the weight unless you try a lighter bike, it feels much better - more like a non-eBike. It isn't that the heavy bike is "hard", it just lacks the same feeling of effortlessness that a lighter bike has.
This is the second e bike I would buy but it cost too much. I like it because it doesn't have those ugly fat tires. The only other e bike I would buy is the Aventon.
All the Enviolo hubs that I know, just provide max 100Nm ratings, even the heavy duty. To pair this with a 120Nm M600 sounds not that ideal. The second thing is, this bike is spect with a lot of nice components, but the brakse are the cheapest hydraulic ones, you can think of. That makes absolutely no sense at all.
In order to make their price point companies will cheap out on 'some' components. A truly "premium" bike (this is not one) will have top quality for each and every component, but you will pay a LOT of money for that, twice with this one costs.
They have viewers from all over no one lists prices because if I’m watching from Canada and you are in Bangkok the price isn’t the same. That’s why they have a link to the product. You can click on it.
Since prices fluctuate and sales happen so often we've found it's better to just leave a link to the product page at the top of every video description.
@@ElectricBikeReport It's underwhelming performance on your control climb. With a claimed 120 nm it should have posted the fastest time by a large margin. More torque equals faster climbs.
It's got a lot more wattage than the usual 250 or 350 watt motors, so it's quite possible it does make the number. And it certainly makes more than Bosche or Brose motors. But power isn't everything. I'd trust a Bosche or Brose system more than I would the Bafang.
@@arevee9429 Then explain why it performed so poorly on the control climb? There's videos of Bosch cx bikes effortlessly beating the updated improved Bafang M500 bikes. With a claimed 95 NM of torque.

@ElectricBikeReport how quiet is the motor?

It is for sure a compelling package!

"Funny" how these genius bike reviewers never find any of these problems eh?
Does anyone know if there is enough clearance on the fenders for snow chains? Alternatively can the fenders be easily removed and reattached?
Will they add automatic shifter if you ask for one I know it be more money but the option would be nice this bike I like would consider to buy it😊

Damn good point
I have ridden bikes all my life and for many thousands of miles and did have 1 chain break, but it was my own fault. The belt drive this bike has is extremely unlikely to fail.
Not really problems for a bike that has more than a kilowatt of power storage and a belt drive that lasts 4 times longer than a chain
With a throttle for a mid-drive does it mean that it is automatically turning the crank?
No pedals don't turn.
When using thottle on mid drives.

Hey Thanks Love it big guy lopks like a great bike what kind of price is on this one
evelo.com/products/atlas?variant=39870831820911
how much does ithe bike cost? and how much does a new replacement battery cost when I need a to get a new one? thanks.
$4100! Strangely expensive.

My current e bike is heavier. I don’t have any problems in stop and go traffic. And I commute 22 miles round trip

It's got a higher price, but it's quite the premium ride.
Which Aventon?
ride1up 700 series is truly the best value out there right now at $1495

We had similar questions on the brakes, but the performance from our test was impressive enough for us.
The cargo ones can take the higher torque. Not sure if this is that one but I'd call Evelo. They're usually happy to answer questions like that.
"Funny" he never mentioned the super cheap brakes eh?

@@ElectricBikeReport Any brake will work fine out of the box. Do a test after 1000 miles.
I don't like that it doesn't have a throttle. Not the one. :(
Why is it that most electric bike reviews never mention the weight or the price?

It's a commercial.

You need to add price of bikes on your reviews

3:54 No disrespect to the presenter, but these fender struts look anything but premium or ever-lasting.

No chance it makes 120 nm, maybe 70 nm.
What makes you doubt the torque?

Provide data, specs, not your mere impressions. Doubt is not an argument.
this bike looks ugly tbh - doesn’t scream premium whatsoever
