Aurora Limited

I got a good deal and received my bike October 13. I had no experience with ebikes so I didn't know what to expect aside from watching reviews online. Hills and headwinds had made biking somewhat unattractive, especially the big hill to get down to a really nice riverside trail nearby. My little sister had learned about ebikes and did a ton of research with the conclusion that Evelo was the right one. I suppose I could try to tell you all that I like about the bike but the strongest proof is this: in 2.5 months I've put 625 miles on it! Winter is here; I layer up (including ski goggles) and go out and ride! .... 32 degrees today and I had a very enjoyable 24 mile ride. You can buy lesser priced bikes but do they have all the features, a 4 Year Warranty and exceptional Support? My bike is heavy but it leads me to believe it's going to hold up and riding it is just pure fun! The hills and headwinds?.... no worries! The riverside trail I get to ride now?... it's awesome!
I'll try to remember to update as time goes forward.

Update to review 11/20/22 since I didn't have a picture. This is my Aurora Limited. I am 5'2" and this bike fits me very well so you more petite people have a point of reference.

Since April, I have turned over a 1,000 miles on my Aurora Limited. I wrote a review shortly after my purchase and just as thrilled then as I am now. I have been having the most fun ever riding a bike. I feel like a big kid again! It had been years since I rode a bike and at first I was very cautious (not a bad thing) and getting to know my bike was such fun as I learned the bikes capabilities every time I rode. My skills and mental agility are far greater than I ever thought! As an older girl, I have learned that riding and having fun while developing skills sharpens the mind and keeps one engaged! I usually ride between 10-20 miles at a time on trails and some very steep 16-18% hills in level 3 assist and I get a seriously great cardio workout. On mostly flat trails I stay in one or two gear just because without any assist the bike is a bit heavy. I also have seldom used auto mode because I prefer to control under my own power. I bought my Aurora for exercise but realized that I have gained so much more than physical health but a new awareness of skills and balance and I am happy so much fun! Yes, I can ride without hands for the first time in my 69 years! What a fun ego boost! Since it is very hot here in S.W. Utah my riding slowed down a bit during the summer and swimming was my jam. Two weeks ago I was about to cross my 1,000 mile mark when I took my eyes off of the trail for just a couple of seconds and took quite a spill off of the embankment! I was at mile 999! Two boulders kept me and my sweet bike from going down the embankment. I lugged the bike back up on the trail and looking back now I have to smile because I was more concerned about my bike and any damage than I was to my own well being! The bike sustained a few scratches and I got some serious road rash and pretty bloodied up but it was almost like a right of passage and I was thrilled that I was so lucky. It was also a BIG lesson to keep eyes on the road at all times. Better to stop and look at what you are curious about than taking eyes off of the trail. Also, I was alone in a closed national park so please don't ride alone in remote places. If you crash or fall, get back on and ride. I went ten miles the next day despite my bandages and injury. I will not allow myself to put fear over fun!
Another nugget of an idea is that I bought a motorcycle carrier to attach to my car hitch that I installed on my car. Since the bike is heavy and I cannot lift it onto a conventional bike carrier this, along with the ramp it came with is the perfect solution, along with a couple of strap downs. Bottom line is I love my bike and the fun that it has given me. Oh, I also love the bigger tires which are great in dirt and softer surfaces. I got the safety kit when I ordered my bike and it is awesome too. The bell is loud and grabs peoples attention. I also use a bigger strobe light for the front along with the one I got in my kit since I also ride roads and want to be very visible. A mirror is also essential to safety so when and if you buy, have that safety kit included. I will probably update after I get what I hope will be 2,000 miles in the following 12 months.
If you are hesitating and not sure on the brand you want, look no further. In my first review I had included that I researched for a year and hands down, Evelo was the best choice and value for quality and components and customer service. The Aurora was in exchange for the first Evelo I bought just prior. The folks at Evelo reached out and we discussed what more I wanted out of the bike compared to my first one. They were spot on in their suggestion because I wanted more of a beast with more bells and whistles in the technology. They delivered for sure and their customer service is wonderful. If you have any questions, they have the answers and willingness in going through the steps to deliver the best possible choice for your individual needs. Happy biking and keep it fun but safe!

This is the second ebike I have owned. The first was a BPM and I had nothing but trouble with it. Decided to go with Evelo and so far I am much happier with the design, performance, customer service and quality of the bike. This bike handles very well. It turns and handles much better than the BPM. I also love the swept back handle bars for long rides. The seat is very comfortable. I really love the switching of gears and the belt drive, smooth and quite. The chain guard to keep your pants out of the belt is another great feature.
The negatives are minor. The reaction time of the motor to when you pedal has a slight delay. The other issue is if I go no hands the bike starts to shake and gets worse as I go to the point I have to grab the handle bars. These are just minor things and the Aurora Limited is a really nice ebike.

My Evelo Aurora Limited is the most complete EBike I could possibly want. Over the past 6 years I have ridden over 5000 miles all on ebikes and as such I have developed a long list of features I wanted on my next eBike. My Aurora Limited checked off everything on my list from a 750 watt mid motor, belt drive, step thru design, wide tires, large capacity battery with good range, quality build, and of course affordable.
I am approaching 1000 miles since April and my Aurora Limited is a thrill to ride! I love it!!
Great company with outstanding service if needed. Thank you Evelo!!
