hi and thanks for your great reviews (&subscribed!). i am interested to purchase the EVELO Atlas but debating between the Priority Current and the EVELO Atlas = your top picks of 2023 &2024!. judging by your 2 videos, they seem similar/comparable in price/performance? can you please kindly indicate between the priority current and Atlas, which do you recommend to purchase ? thanks in advance!

I don't like twisting my wrist to change gears.

Awesome review! Live in chicago and I haven’t seen many other people with the Haul LT. It's a lot of bike.

I've not had the pleasure of riding one of these myself, but the control unit located directly below the bottom bracket, with the unprotected wires and whatnot, seems like a design flaw just begging for you to bottom out and scuff and/or crush it. Am I missing something?

Do you still happen to have the Via on hand to measure the width of the Kid & Cargo Carrier Hoop grab bars? Thank you!

General takeaway is ok for a first attempt, but way short on battery. Heck, the nearest Walmart is ~15 or 16 miles away (~32 mi round trip). Then again, I'm a utility rider. So getting from A to B with a possible load of cargo is top of my list.

Thanks, live in a hilly area so this was useful

The cost of this when compared to the cost of owning a car, is a drop in the bucket.

E-bike = motorcycle.

Very helpful thanks. Deciding between this, Swoop and upcoming Tern Quick Haul Long.

For a guy in the market for a cargo bike, this is a great piece of info. Well done.

I make decals, and i have cargo bikes, I can send you one from the Nederlands if you want.

Thanks for the data-based real-world test to show the capabilities! So many bigger channels reviewed this bike or other similar ones without describing % grade attempted, not to mention your important observation of the assist not kicking in below a certain cadence.

that is a very short range my man

I don't believe the Enviolo gearing system is a limiting factor in this scenario. Instead, the 250-watt motor appears to be inadequate for the additional weight of this front-load cargo e-bike, particularly when tackling a steep 15-degree hill. Given the demands of such a situation, the motor struggles to provide sufficient power and torque. For the American market, where users often encounter varied and challenging terrains, Bosch should consider offering more robust motor options. This would ensure that riders have the necessary power and performance to handle heavier loads and steeper inclines with ease. Enhanced motor options would not only improve the usability of cargo e-bikes but also expand their appeal to a broader range of consumers who need reliable and efficient transportation solutions in diverse environments.

It was a very enjoyable bike! During a test ride event, I experienced this feature. While its gear shifting indeed felt a bit underpowered when climbing due to the wheel size limitations, on flat terrain, the gear shifting was remarkably agile and smooth. I practically forgot about shifting gears; the bike effortlessly maintained its pace, allowing me to focus solely on riding and pedaling.

In the past six months, I have test-ridden this bicycle, and I am amazed at the significant improvements, especially in the automatic gear shifting. In earlier versions, I thought it felt sluggish, but just two weeks ago, I noticed it has become much smoother. This company seems very proactive in conducting version updates, which I believe is exactly what we need, as we aim for our product to continuously offer new experiences.

Share my experience. there is new E-Shift firmware update, it can bring significant improvements to gear changes. Before ridding, you can check if the bikes FW is the latest or not. You could upgrade the latest FW from the Smalo plus app>> setting>>about>>system information. Version 1.012: Fixing the issue where intermediate gears are not displayed during continuous shifting (released date 2024.06.21) Version 1.014: Enhances shift sensitivity and supports manual continuous shifting. These updates provide smoother and more precise gear control, improving riding experience.

Good info. Ty

Looking for a great daily commuter and occasional bikepacking. Which one would you recommend: Priority current or Gazelle ultimate C380+ HMB?

2 thousand for the dual battery setup is... well it's 4x the price listed on their website.

Ah, the spoiled NW cyclists. If you were a cyclist in the SW you wouldn't leave your driveway without a complete flat repair system and the knowledge of how to use it. Also, you would have slime in your tires. Reason: goatheads.

At least it was the front tire that went flat. A huge piece of glass was really bad luck. Not only need a new tube but also a boot for the tire.

$8000 for this? Might as well get a cheap small car around $10,000 or used car for $2500.

Not competitive anymore. Launched at $2,699. Way too expensive for build at $3,300. Sorry Priority.

No front suspension for that price? My God, why do you support such insane greed? I would never buy it.

$2-3k for the dual battery upgrade is indefensible and asinine. A 100 kWh Tesla battery is around $20k. That e-bike upgrade would be 1 kWh at the absolute most.

Its not the ebike, it's the rider. Can a rider handle 215 miles? Like the saying. "In the MTB world, it is not the bike but a rider!" Great job. I will try next year.

A belt drive! If using an ordinary chain, you are able to use chain gears, which has much less friction than an internal gear system! I have had one bike using a belt, and I didn't like it! Eventually try a Danish built "Christiania Bike"? It is not as smooth looking, but it functions! Finn. Denmark

Nice to see these Dutch build cargo bikes on the other side of the pond. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Great video, thanks! To avoid a flat tire on the next tour, I have a recommendation: Schwalbe Marathon plus - an unbreakable tire. I've been riding it on three wheels since 2005. I commute 20 miles a day for work plus the miles I cover in my free time or for shopping. The coat isn't cheap, but a shard of glass or similar won't interrupt a bike ride. Kind regards from Germany

Very good review. Concise and to the point. No dumb music in the background. Awesome graphics. Thank you.

less talking more showing

Hi Tyler, could you share your email? The email in your website is invalid.

Tyler, thanks so much for the "Real World" testing of Single-Speed, Gates-Drive Ebikes. It is tempting with the lower price, but has major drawbacks. My future Ebike will have Gates-Drive. I hate derailleurs and the $100-$150 annual maintenance. My eyes are on the Priority Current Ebike with Enviolo internally geared rear-hub and mid drive motor. $3,000.

You got me when you hesitated with saying the bike with range in gearing might be problematic for super steep hills .. I live in Pittsburgh 🤔

Have been waiting for an update to the bike as it e-bike terms, it's getting long in the tooth. Especially the lacking control/screen which lacks info found in less expensive brands like Aventon.

Did u have any rain/water enter the battery chamber through the GAPS on the cable routing holes on upper part of down tube?

I'm new to e-bike, living in PNW. Do you recommend these CVT time for new e-bike buyers? I'm looking to get two bikes (wife and me). Will you recommend this over the priority or Prodigy v2?

great presentation, very helpful - thank you! Is the auto-shifter feature 'better' than the handlebar control for a standard CVT hub?

I’m curious. Why didn’t you just ask another cyclist to borrow their pump?

Very nice review! You offer a good explanation of what are the important features to consider when looking at e-bikes. Personally, I have been riding a Gazelle TMB10 for the past 2 years and I love it. The Bosch speed motor was a perfect match to the bike, but it would have been nice to have more than 85NM of torque. Since I ride mainly on flat surfaces it doesn't really bother me and I'm able to get 50-60 miles of range with a single battery. The extended battery on the Priority, as you pointed out, is not something I would ever want, besides it looks terrible. Nice to see they are offering the Enviolo hub...that is very efficient. I have not seen a throttle offered on a Class 3 bike, except for the cheaper bike manufacturers. Thanks for making this review!

Only price on one? Prices are falling, be careful.

Can the handlebars be adjusted for a more relaxed riding position?

Thanks for the review. The gearing is disappointing. No one wants to ride an E-bike at 90 to 120 cadence. I think it is one of the challenges of a single speed - the lack of gearing range? Do you agree?

Excited about Vvolts Centauri 2 coming out soon.

I owned the Priority Current and sold it only after a year because I think it falls short in many ways. One way if falls short is no front suspension. Second way it falls short is no throttle. Third way mine fell short was it pulled to the right badly. Fourth way is that crappy display that you can barely see in the daylight. Fifth way lacked power and sounded like a tea kettle whistling like it would boil over. Sixth way it lacked a large enough battery to enjoy a long ride if you needed to take one. The one positive way was it was light weight and easy to take upstairs. So I just wanted to inform those who are thinking of buying this e-bike and what is lacking. There are much better e-bikes on the market for the price that they are offering for this Current model out there.

I have one and your are right it is very quiet. But I think the Specialized Como with the Brose motor my be slightly quieter and a bit more refined. I prefer the upright position.

Can you please please answer the question how do you feel about not having a suspension fork? Would you add one? I’m looking at this bike and I’m thinking of either adding a fork later or just getting larger tires. Did you ever feel like it was too Chattery over rougher roads?

Nice video, and thanks for the tips & insight.. I think I'll do the STP this year on my Specialized Turbo Creo. Shout out to my Vancouver Bicycle Club, and cheers from Ridgefield!
