EVELO Galaxy TT Electric Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

If you are looking for a high tech yet easy to ride commuter with the comfort of a cruiser then the EVELO Galaxy TT is definitely worth checking out!

After putting the EVELO Galaxy TT Fully Loaded to the ride test it has proven to be a fun eBike that uses some of the latest technology to simplify everyday riding so that you can focus more on your ride. 

Just some of the highlights are the automatic shifting NuVinci Harmony system, new Bafang Max mid drive, Gates Carbon belt, and much more. 

The Galaxy starts at $3,499 for the Premium model and $3,899 for the Fully Loaded model. 

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”.

Gocycle GS Electric Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

After putting the Gocycle GS to the ride test it has proven to be much like other innovative Gocycle’s, yet at a more economical price of $2,799 (on sale for $2,499 in October). 

It has a lot of Gocycle high tech features (magnesium frame & wheels, smartphone ride customization, one sided wheels, etc.) while keeping with the Gocycle experience of being easy to ride with almost no maintenance to worry about. 

The GS has the same folding capabilities and it is lightweight (37.5 pounds) like the G3 for easy storage and transportation, while maintaining its design of fitting like a full sized eBike. 

Like other Gocycle’s the GS is an agile city commuter eBike that can handle the full commute to work or it can be used in combination with mass transit. It is also a good eBike for exploring the open road.

The Gocycle GS is priced at $2,799 USD (on sale for $2,499 in October) at the time of this review.

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 Gocycle GS Electric Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]
