The Aurora Hub Drive is the latest addition to the Evelo line. In a break from the past (actually to the past) the Aurora features two distinct changes from previous Evelo bikes: 1) it has a rear-hub motor rather than a mid-drive motor, and 2) it has seven traditional gears with a derailleur rather than the Nuvinci internal transmission.

Both of these features have been standard on e-bikes for years, but Evelo -- and many other bike manufacturers -- have been gravitating to the mid-drive motors because they are smoother and more efficient and centered in the bike. But they are also more expensive. Likewise with the Nuvinci hub; it is smoother and quieter and maintenance free, but more expensive.

So the Aurora goes back to older technology that has been rebuilt for today and has produced a bike that is smooth and natural feeling, has amazing torque and pep, and needs only 7 gears because the 750-watt motor is more than sufficient for any climbing needs.

At just over $2,000, this bike is sure to appeal to a lot of riders. Add in a rebate from several utilities, and the cost comes down to under $2,000.
