EVELO Aurora Limited Electric Bike

Welcome to your EVELO Aurora Limited!

You’ve made a great decision to purchase the best electric bike on the market, and we encourage you to read through the included display panel manual and user guide. We know you’re eager to get started, so we want to point out a few quick tips.

Assembling your Aurora Limited yourself?
Please stop here and check out the following link for assembly instructions: www.evelo.com/aurora-assembly

A quick note on assembly: your Aurora Limited has hydraulic brakes, and includes a spacer in the front brake caliper to keep the brake pistons retracted. This must be removed prior to installing the front wheel. The caliper is located at the bottom of the front fork on the left side of the bike from riding position. Simply pull the plastic tab out to remove it. This spacer may be Yellow, Red, or Black. After removing the spacer, avoid pulling the front (left) brake lever until the wheel is installed.
Is your Aurora fully assembled? Great! Let’s go over a few key items:

Step 1: You’ll need power! The battery charge port is at the bottom right of the battery, with a rubber cover. There is a USB charge port on the battery as well, which can be used for charging low voltage devices. Pull the cover back and charge the battery with the included charger. We
recommend fully charging your bike before your first ride:
Note: The battery can be charged on or off the bike. To remove the battery, insert and turn the key, then swing the battery away from the key at the top. To install, insert the battery at the bottom and swing back into position while pushing down towards the frame. The battery will automatically lock back into place.

Step 2: Pre Ride Check: Before your initial ride, please check the following items:

Wheels should spin freely. There may be some slight rubbing of the brakes, which typically subsides once the brakes are used a few times.
Belt tension: check the belt for appropriate tension. With a firm press in the middle of the belt, there should be approximately 3/8″ of play, +/- ¼ of an inch. If your belt needs adjusted, please contact EVELO for instructions to adjust belt tension.
Squeeze both brake levers to ensure that the brakes can be fully secured before the levers hit the handlebars. Because the hydraulic fluid path is longer to the rear brake, the rear lever may have a bit more travel, which is typical.
Ensure that the thru axle securing the front wheel is tight. The front thru axle is secured with an allen wrench.
Check your tire pressure. Because of the wider tires, it will likely be lower than you are accustomed. While the maximum pressure is relatively high, best performance is found between 18 to 24 PSI for riders 140 lbs to 280 lbs. For every 20 lbs over 140 lbs, increase by approximately 1 PSI.

Step 3: Familiarize yourself with the controls.

Brakes: Your Aurora Limited includes front and rear brake levers, equipped with cutoff switches which turn off power to the motor when the brakes are pressed. It’s recommended to squeeze both brakes with equal power at the same time for stopping.

Shifter: This gearing system is ready to ride with the handlebar controller right out of the box. If you are not comfortable connecting the bike to your phone, you can disregard the steps below.

We recommend pairing the system to your phone using the Enviolo App to ensure your software is consistently up to date, and get the most out of your EVELO Electric Bicycle. Before starting, make sure your phone is connected to the internet and your bicycle is powered on. To pair, download the Enviolo App located in Google Play on Android devices or the App Store on iPhones. You can find apps by typing in “Enviolo Automatiq” into the search field.

Once installed, you can open the app and you will see the Connect screen.

At this time, you want to press and hold the “sync” button located on the Shift interface for 5 seconds. This is the Black round part near the rear wheel of the bike.

This button may be partially blocked by the bike itself, so use a small hex key, a small flat head screwdriver, or other poking apparatus to depress the button if you are unable to reach it with your finger. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds, there will be an audible click and it will turn Blue after 5 seconds. You will then be greeted with the welcome screen on your phone.

If the App recommends a firmware update, please update the firmware of your Enviolo Automatiq Shifter.

Once your Enviolo Automatiq system is connected with the Enviolo App, you can control everything in the system directly from your phone.

If you prefer to use the handlebar mounted controller, you will want to re- sync the system – as the system can either be connected to your phone, or to the handlebar mounted controller, but not both at the same time.

To sync to the handlebar mounted controller, power the bicycle on and press the button on the shifter interface. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds, it will turn blue.

Then, Press and hold the center button of the handlebar shifter for 3 seconds. The handlebar unit will blink red and green. Once the unit blinks green only, the pairing is complete.v

Throttle: The throttle is on the left hand side, and operational as soon as you power on the bike. Handle with care! The throttle can be useful for starting, particularly on a hill, but it is best to familiarize yourself with the bike prior to using throttle control.

Pedal Assist: There are 5 levels of assist. You can access these with the two buttons on the left side of the three button panel. The “+” increases the level, and “-” will lower it. We strongly recommend starting in level 1 or 2 until you’re used to the handling of your Aurora Limited. The buttons can be pressed while ridin

Step 4: Adjust your seat: You can raise or lower the seat by opening the quick release lever and adjusting the post up or down. There should be a slight bend in your leg at full extension, though some riders prefer to have the seat a bit lower until they are comfortable with the bike. If you are unable to get your seat low enough, you may need to cut your seat post. This can be done with a sharp hacksaw blade. Please contact us for details.

Step 5: Power up your bike: On the left side of your handlebars is a 4 button switch. The “o” on the lower right hand side of the button panel is used to toggle power on and off. Hold it for 2-3 seconds, until your display panel lights up.

Step 6: Get on and ride! We recommend doing your first ride on flat terrain in an uncrowded area. Some tips for riding your Aurora Limited:

Start slow! If this is your first time on an electric bike we recommend using a low level of assist until you are comfortable with the ride and handling.
Start in Pedal Assist 1 or 2. You can use a bit of throttle to get going if you need a boost. A little goes a long way.
The level of pedal assist can be adjusted while riding. Higher levels of throttle will provide more power and less range.
