The Evelo Atlas is a bike of possibilities. It once held a Guinness World Record for assisting a rider in completing the then-longest e-bike tour at more than 8,000 miles. But you don’t need epic ambitions to enjoy it. This is a bike that appeals equally to tech enthusiasts, power seekers, casual riders, or even those who haven’t been on a bike in decades—it
wears many hats.
At its core is a punchy Bafang mid-drive motor with strong climbing ability and thrilling top-end speed. Yet it’s just as comfortable cruising around town at an easy pace. Its Gates belt drive and Enviolo Trekking CVT deliver a clean, low-maintenance drivetrain that shifts seamlessly with a twist-grip. No grinding when shifting under load, no worrying about downshifting at stops—just smooth, intuitive operation.
Handling is great. The bike has a commuter frame, but a Dutch-style bar keeps riders upright, with a soft saddle and solid performance from the fork. Wider-than-normal tires help with balance, but don’t feel sluggish either.
