Evelo Galaxy 500

This e bike is suppose to handle gravel well and is clearly a road bike, so am cautiously optimistic that I will be happy with my purchase. Will get it in about 3 weeks ...

I'd be interested in your impressions of the bike. It is on my short list.

I think it has been replaced by the Galaxy Lux. I returned my bike because I could never got the cadence to work properly. Otherwise, it was a wonderful bike. Since the Galaxy Lux uses more up to date components, most likely you will not encounter that issue.

Thanks for the update. Another I'm considering is the Evelo Galaxy SL with manual shifting. I wonder if manual shifting will help with some of the cadence issues you experienced.
