[@elizabethman7313]

Just got mine, its outstanding! Used the cycle to work scheme and saved £1000...

Great to hear Elizabeth.. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment

[@LindanBlackshaw]

That is extremely smart 🧠👌

[@eovoltuk]

@@LindanBlackshaw Thanks for the comment and we agree 🙂

The Eovolt afternoon is fantastic - I really love this bike!

[@eovoltuk]

So happy you love it as much as us, thanks for the comment...

[@franciscocastillo6825]

Yes, I would like to know more as well. Sounds like could be the next best 20 inch E bike yet😊

[@eovoltuk]

The bike has just won Cycling Electrics Editors Award for best folding ebike beating off brands inc Brompton and Tern as well as many others.

[@yanassi]

Left out 5 things, speed, range, weight, ride comfort and cost.

[@eovoltuk]

That is specific to different countries. We are discussing the UK version. All that info is available on eovolt.com

[@robertcook2572]

Pah! Mere trivialities...

[@risenshine2783]

It has enough improvements to sway me to order the new and yes more pricey 2024 version.

[@eovoltuk]

Its an amazing bike and has just been awarded Cycling Electric Magazines "Editors Choice" award. In their own words "The Editors Choice award is an indication of the product being very special and market leading"

[@risenshine2783]

@@eovoltukhi I have this bike now and it is wonderful. My one complaint is the seat post slides down as i am riding it. I am in the UK and the roads are bumpy but even so I end up getting lower and lower. I have had the nut tighteneed but to no avail do you have suggestions to solve it?

[@True-crime-tales101]

Nice looking bike

[@keithgreig7136]

@6:24 you talk about going into the shop and trying out the 3 handlebar height spacers and pick the best for you. How does this work if you are buying one bike for a couple who are disparate in height? Also the phone connector you mention does this protect the camera on your phone from vibration damage? For my other bikes I use a Garmin cycling computer. Does this connect with your bike or would you need to add another bracket to add the third party computer? Very tempted but an expensive option against the other we are considering so need to be clear beyond the sales pitch, albeit it is very good ;)

[@jean-baptistebriaud1904]

Thanks for this review. How about pedaling resistance? I tried it very quickly and I found I had this resistance phenomenon to go over 25 km/h.

[@Met182]

Had a test ride of an early build of one of these bikes a few weeks ago, I was very impressed. The way you feel the gears change when you apply more pressure when pedalling was very clever and the boost I felt even on the lowest setting was impressive. Does the bike come with the front rack?

[@eovoltuk]

Hi and yes the feedback on the pro has been amazing from customers. You can buy a front pizza rack that are now available on eovolt.co.uk

[@3dmotormaker]

in 2021 I bought 2 City One 16" bikes. I thought they were expensive at 1200 quid each. With all the innovation and upgrades at 3000 quid I think this is far too expensive. Whilst we have had fun on them, If I had to do it again I would not spend the 1200 never mind 3K. That's me - you do you !

[@eovoltuk]

Thanks for the comment and having supported the brand in the past. It is appreciated.

[@nfive5]

what do expect bikes u want bikes for less than £1000 aint gonna happen, belt drives are mantenance free if u think this is expenisve u not tried a real ebike with 90nm full suspension carbon u think £3000 is expensive try £5500

Can you please advise the folded dimensions, thanks.

@@eovoltukthis appears to be smaller than your other 20” bikes, is this due to the new folding design?

@@eovoltuk I have looked at your website and it says the dimensions you first stated !!!! What is going on this is very confusing and i don’t know what is correct.

[@ferdinagumilang7705]

Hi, what is max payload of the included rear rack? Is it possible to attach a child seat?

[@eovoltuk]

The max load is 25kg and you can use a child seat if you stay within the load. However we wouldn't recommend it as it would give a rear weight bias to a smaller wheeled bike.

[@TheUmitC]

I believe that, the reason of these bikes be foldings, is to be folded, lifted into the back of a car, store at home, which wouldn’t need lots of space, etc.. All good, but why they started to weigh 20+ kgs in time? Although I believe that it’s a beautifully designed very nice bike, with this weight, it loses a good part of it’s ease of mobility.

[@TheUmitC]

By the way, thanks for your Eovolt reviews 🙏🏼

[@eovoltuk]

Most of the weight is in the battery and motor which can't be made lighter with technology right now. The great thing with the Pro is you don't need the battery for it to sit in its folded form. This makes it considerably less weight when lifting 👍 Thanks for the comment

[@TheUmitC]

Thanks for the reply, these days I am searching for a foldable electric bike, that’s how I came to know the brand Eovolt. I got stuck between models pro and origins; I am trying to understand whether a 2 speed auto motor hub can be equal to a 7 speed derailleur system when climbing hills. Is it too much asking if you could make a comparison, if I have missed in the videos.

[@badabing8884]

You need to look at the ADO air carbon then at 12.5kgs

[@TheUmitC]

@@badabing8884 thanks a lot. Although don’t want to hijack the subject here; the new Ado Air Pro at 19 kg with 40 Nm, 2 speed auto shift, 5 Nm less than Afternoon Pro, I guess the closest competition. Honestly speaking, I liked the Eovolt bike. Haven’t seen one yet, the only thing making me think of the weight is the stairs which I need to take before putting it in the elevator. The other thing is, I can not understand the equivalence of chain gears to auto 2 speed while climbing. Yeah the videos show they are quite capable.

[@chrisharris1527]

Hi, is a 12v charger available for this bike ?

[@eovoltuk]

Yes the 12v charger on eovolt.co.uk has the same connector for all of our bikes.

I dont like belt drives i much prefer chains

I've just checked the Ado air 20 pro. Some parts look really cheapish and low quality. You get what you pay for, I guess.

When folded front chain ring exposed, you'll get oil and mess everywhere 🤔

Hi Dylan Good news is that Its belt drive, there is no oil and mess....

[@noeflores5794]

A lot of great features! When available in the US? Id want a Higher top speed, mid-motor, and option to carry passenger on rear frame.

[@eovoltuk]

Not sure when as we are not the brand but the UK distributor but US version would have a USA spec. As the UK site we only feature products with a UK specification 👍

[@Frederick.Grant.Banting]

3000 euros, but there is no suspension...

[@eovoltuk]

Honestly the wide fat tyres act like air suspension, handles canal tow paths and bridleways with ease. Also suspension forks significantly add weight, our customer polls always have weight as the most important criteria to them. Thanks for the comment
