I have logged 150 miles in the Aurora Sport in the past weeks. A shakedown period is important to give other riders a decent picture. First, I bought the Aurora Sport after 750 frustrating miles with a competitor step-through, Jxxxxd. . The Aurora Sport? A breath of fresh air. Great customer service, questions answered by a real expert and made me take the gamble to order another e-bike. WOW! I had the Aurora Sport professionally assembled, bike shop said the Aurora Sport is a great value, far exceeding its price point. The step-through fits my needs. Handling with the 26-inch tires is great on my trail/city road commute route. The upright riding position is very positive and comfortable. The safety features on the Aurora Sport include a good front light and a "stop" rear light. The display is tops, far more effective than competitors. The 7-speed twist shifter is very positive. The 750-watt motor is a powerhouse. The Aurora Sport climbs hills with ease. I travel in mode 1 or 2 to get a workout, and find I can do 12 miles in great physical shape. The mechanical brakes are effective and offer less maintenance headaches than hydraulics. I have a range of about 44 miles given my riding style. The battery is just the right size and makes the step-through effective. The frame is very rigid, aided by the integrated rear carrier.
The optional made in Japan bell has a loud, yet resonant chime. I chose to upgrade the seat and Evelo even gave me a credit! Very impressive.
Evelo needs to provide some hand cards so I can give them out to the many people who have admired the Aurora Sport when I take it shopping, or on trips along the Erie Canal Bikeway in upstate New York. The Aurora Sport is a winner and I hope Evelo grows and prospers with its superior product and excellent customer service. Happy trails to you on an Aurora Sport.
