The Evelo Omega electric bike is a powerful and comfortable cruiser with features similar to a commuter e-bike. Speed and reliability come with its Dahu 750-watt mid-drive motor, that kicks out 115 Newton meters of torque. This power is great for speed from the start and for hill climbing.
This e-bike is easy to ride, thanks to the Enviolo Trekking CVT gear hub, and AutomatIQ shifter. Taking the guess out of shifting, the AutomatIQ changes gears for you, so you can just enjoy the ride. This e-bike is great for the rider who wants to eliminate the complications of gear shifting and power output, and instead just enjoy the ride.
The Evelo Omega has that unique European design, with its mid-drive motor, integrated battery and lighting, its lightweight, and its ability to travel up to 60 miles (96.6 km) on a single battery charge. This is an e-bike that is meant to be ridden often and for long periods of time.
Adding to the overall quality of the Motor and gearbox combination is the Gates belt drive that distributes the power to the bike’s wheel. The Gates belt is cleaner, quieter and lasts up to 3 times longer than a bike chain, and makes this bike really sweet.
There are a slew of quality components fitted on this e-bike, including, the Samsung 15 amp-hour battery, Evelo Star Gazer stem, Zoom brakes, Innova puncture-resistant 26” x 2.8” wheels, and Selle Royal memory foam saddle. There are also great comfort options, including the Kinekt comfort suspension stem, Cane Creek Thudbuster LT Seatpost, and Cloud 9 comfort saddle.
So check out our in-depth article to learn more about this e-bike, and see if this is the e-bike for you.

Thank you great review. Is Pierce still there?
-
If they came out with this in a class 3 I might consider it.

I was anxious to view your report after purchasing the Omega with the dual battery option this summer. I'm 68 years old and haven't ridden for many years so I was a tad apprehensive about the expense but super excited about this technology driven e-bike. What you didn't mention was the free delivery, free return policy that comes with a 21 day trial. You can ride for over 70 miles and return the Omega if you're not completely satisfied. As important is Evelo's customer service. Extremely helpful and willing to go the extra mile. For example, I was nervous about not having a front suspension fork and the representative threw in the Kinekt suspension stem which was perfect and raised the handlebars just enough for me at 6'4". I am totally sold on the CVT hub, Enviolo auto shifter and belt drive! It's a perfect e-bike with absolutely zero concerns or complaints!

Loved the review, very thorough. Putting the bikes tested through consistent categories is very helpful, equivalent of a comparison to others. I am familiar with Evelo's quality. It pained me to watch the rider place his foot's arch on the pedal instead of the forefoot of his foot as is proper and more healthy for leg and hip.

Just received mine. Nice bike so far. It was easier for me to get up extreme hills nearby vs my prior bike with a Bosch Cargo line motor. The integration of pedal and battery assist is good but not as natural as the Bosche system. I ordered the suspension stem, which seems to do a good job, but still testing. It is a beautiful and well put together bike. The gates drive belt is nice and quiet. The one ding I give it is the zoom brakes. Especially for a heavier rider like me, they are a disappointment. The are spongy, noisy, take a lot of effort to fully engage, and take a while to slow you down. They do not inspire confidence like the shimano hydraulic disc (200mm front) of my previous bike (which also had carbon gates drive). Other than the brakes, the experience has been top notch.

There are some key aspects missing from this review format. Adding these would make your reviews more compelling: What is it like to ride? Is it fun to ride? How well does it handle, on a road and a not too bumpy trail? How does it handle bumps? What kind of rider and ride surfaces is it best suited for? Is it a good value? What is the competition? Are there other e-bikes available with similar features at this price point?

83 miles on PAS 1 at 15 mph!! Gonna have to try one out for a test ride.
-
Very thorough and helpful presentation - thank you! I'm struggling to understand the positives and negatives of this auto shifter, vs the handlebar control for the more basic Enviolo hub, as used on the Evelo Atlas...?
-
Well done and very thorough. I'm considering this bike for an upgrade, The step-through frame, second battery option and AutomatIQ shifter are great features that I need.
-
Nice review. Surprised to hear a battery distance go further than the mfg rating. Your one complaint about adjusting tha cadence only through the app... They have a wireless controller you can add onto the handlebars to address that which lets you change in increments of 1 RPM or larger jumps. Having that sounds like the best of both worlds to me. I am having a hard time finding any other brands using the Automatiq though.

Those whom have bslsnce issur, this has power?, unlocked it goes 28 + with no issue wieth every penny. No regrets ❤❤ Gazelle is crazy more expensive with onky 3 bikes, no peddle assist. Specialized is crazt higher. The return and the warranty is a 10 plus they emsil and pick up theirs phone. If broke they will send you a new bike.. Glad i bought one. You get what you paid for. Magicycle from China bikes Faiiled , so did the speed, threw me into the road. Something like this is like a car. 53 people have died lots hurt . Buy smart❤
-
Pretty cool bike.. I think my only concern is that I am pretty sure that in Colorado where I live it is illegal to ride class 2 bikes on the bike path..
-
How do you lock this bike? It looks like it has a few disassembly points.
-
How does the automatic transmission respond if you pedal slower than the set cadence?
-
Very nice but not happy with limited speed of 20 mph. Should be at least 28 mph. Is there a way to unlock the speed?
-
Is the motor used on the Evelo Omega a rebranded Bafang mid-drive? Or is it a more substantial unit from Bosch, Panasonic, Shimano, or another of the name brand mid-drive units?
-
WRONG. "Evelo offers this ebike in small medium and large size frames" according to this review @ 5:41. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this Omega is offered in only one size frame, not three.
-
It is "literally" not out of this world.
-
E-Vélo ?🤔 Or is Evelo another company ?
