The Latest Electric Bikes from Eurobike 2017 – Part 1

Twelve months have already flown by since my Eurobike 2016 report. One year ago, an eBike maelstrom hit the cycling industry.

Taking up 50% of the floorspace at Eurobike, it was suddenly clear where the growth in cycling was coming from. One year later, my assessment is the eBike again took more real estate at Eurobike, but only fractionally compared to last year.

Most noticeable was the further refinement of the technologies and design. Bicycle brands that may have scoffed at eBikes a few short years ago not only caught the bug, but arrived with some amazing electric assist models that will drive design to new heights.

EVELO Delta Electric Mountain Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

After putting the EVELO Delta to the ride test it has proven to be a fun and versatile electric mountain bike with impressive power and a smooth ride feel.

The combination of the 750 watt mid drive, NuVinci continuously variable transmission, and the 3″ wide off road tires creates an eBike that can handle almost any terrain. 

The EVELO Delta can turn daily rides into a fun adventure!

The Delta starts at $3,499 and EVELO has regular promotions throughout the year. 

EVELO also focuses a lot on taking the worry out of buying an eBike online. They offer a 10 day at home trial period, free shipping in the US and Canada, 0% financing (if you qualify), 4 year/20,000 mile warranty, and support for service and repairs. Plus they have their “Perfect Seat Guarantee”.

In this second part of the full review you will get an idea of the ride characteristics, range test results, pros, cons, and overall thoughts on this electric bike. [Read more…] about EVELO Delta Electric Mountain Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]
