EVELO Quest One Folding Electric Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

by Leave a Comment

After putting the EVELO Quest One to the ride test it has proven to be a versatile and portable eBike that has a good ride feel.

The Quest One handles the city well with its compact size and nimble handling.

Its compact size and easy folding capability make it a good eBike for use while you are traveling and storing at home or work. 

The Quest One is priced at $1,999. For current pricing, checkout the EVELO website, or send them an email to [email protected].

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…]

The Latest Electric Bikes from Eurobike 2017 – Part Deux

by 2 Comments

Welcome to the 2017 Eurobike show review, part Deux. If 2016 was the year the eBike reached parity with the traditional pedal bicycle industry in terms of floorspace at the major trade shows, 2017 is the year of refinement and validation.

Designs have become more polished and efficient, conveying a sense of trust to riders that was lacking in the past.

The Latest Electric Bikes from Eurobike 2017 – Part 1

by 3 Comments

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