UTO (ex-Eovolt) Reviews 

brilliant advice on choosing a bike from the shop in Auray.

Fantastic bike. Well thought through.
I bought it primarily to use it on my boat for provisioning in marinas and exploring Islands but found that I’m just keeping it as much at home and use it for all small errands instead of the car. Have both the front and rear racks and have complemented the pizzarack up front with a Velo/Avs attachment so I can “click” a cooler in place.

All fine, bike excellent

Really enjoying my Afternoon Pro that I've got about 2 weeks ago. I mostly use it for a 16km commute (one way distance).

The higher price compared to my previous folding ebike was worth it so far, I really love how it looks and rides and feel more secure knowing that I have a local dealer/service place that support the bike. The folding works great, the hydraulic Shimano brakes work excellent even during slight rain, the automatic gear shifting of the motor is excellent especially for the frequent stop/go in the city and the saddle is comfortable. It also is easy to remove the lockable battery to charge it in places where you cannot take the bike with you. In general it is noticeable that good quality brand parts are used.

I did install a detachable basked at the rear for groceries and replaced the SP Connect part with a more generic smartphone holder that has a quick release, thankfully it is just a generic hex screw to switch out.

I can mostly praise the bike but there are minor issues:
- The speed indicator is inaccurate at higher speeds, it indicates 26-27km/h when a calibrated GPS is showing 23-25km/h. Not sure if this also limits the maximum support speed of the motor to slower speeds due to this, it however is quite easy to ride faster with muscle power (Latest firmware is installed).
- The Knog Oi bell can make contact with the frame when the bike is folded and the spring of the bell is quite weak so you have to trigger it in a specific way for it to ring correctly but not to pull out the button out of the holding frame. This prevented me to ring the bell at least twice now.
- When using the Bafang app it sometimes switches to imperial units on the indicator display on its own and sometimes it has issue connecting.
- When testing the bike it had Schwalbe Pick Up wheels, but it seems they were switched out with Schwalbe Big Apple wheels in later revisions of the bike. The Pick Up ones would be more puncture resistant/more pricy but slightly heavier, still this was an unexpected downgrade.
- A higher capacity battery option and USB-C plug to charge a phone would have been nice. I have the seatpost nearly at the maximum length so a longer seatpost battery with higher capacity would work nicely for me. Id take the increased weight for higher capacity tradeoff any day.

Those are minor issues but I wanted to list even the small things since there are not that many detailed reviews of the bike out there. I also let a few friends that have more biking experience than me try it out and they all thought that it felt great to ride.

Great bike, works perfect, stylish design and great riding experience. Since I am rather tall (192cm) I was positively surprised how well it works for me. Perfectly manufactured.

I’ve only been using the Afternoon for a few days but so far no problems and I find the bike well constructed and technically sound. Only one point, the up and down arrows, on the controller, are difficult to see in low light and could be highlighted or better identified.

Lovely well made bike. We bought 2 Eovolt Afternoon folding bikes.

I bought the eovolt morning bike in may 2023, and until now, I had the following issues:
- the bike would not go above 18 km/h (instead of the 25 km/h initially advertised)
- the central screw that links the folding parts of the bike broke in 2, so I needed to have it replaced
- the bike no longer recognized the battery, so I had to change the display
- the brake pads from the rear brakes broke while I was biking on the way from work. The brakes had been replaced 2 weeks before the accident happened.

The last issue happened few weeks ago, and ended up in me falling from the bike and getting injured.

The support team from eovolt pointed me to the mechanic that changed the pads, and I trust he will fix them, but when will the issues stop? I can no longer get on the bike trusting that it will take me from one point to another in good safety and definitely cannot trust the component quality.

I purchased an Afternoon in October as I was tired of taking public transportation in Paris. I have owned countless bikes in my life and currently have three in my home. I love riding this bike when everything is working; however, since owning the bike, it is just one issue after another.

About a month into owning the bike, my rear caliper seized and locked onto the disc while riding, and I had to take it to the dealer so Eovolt could replace the faulty part. Additionally, I recently purchased a Porte-Bagages, and I was shocked to see that it didn't come with a manual or instructions. When removing the screws from the frame, it was intuitive to swap the frame screws with the rear fender screws, so luckily I did that right. The problem was that upon removing the frame screw, the bike had been assembled so poorly that the screw stripped the threads on the way out. Not only did that happen on the frame, but also on the fender mounts as well, likely due to cross-threading during factory installation.

To fix this, I had to buy Helicoils and rethread two holes to install the luggage rack. I contacted customer service, and, of course, it was my fault. They asked me if I watched the videos on some hidden website that they don't share with the purchasers of the bike or parts. Maybe a card in the box with the site address would be helpful.

Now, what prompted me to write this review? It rains in Paris, I commute in the rain, I store my bike inside my apartment every night and dry it. Upon turning my bike on after it sat over the weekend inside, the LCD screen is now not working. Everything on the entire display is on. The bike still functions; however, I cannot read the km/h or the PAS assist level. It just never ends with the bike. I just don't want to keep having to take my bike to the dealer to keep fixing issue after issue, but I feel that is going to be the case owning this bike.

Purchased a couple of afternoon 20s for our motor home, super bikes. Has really changed are cycling days out whilst travelling.

Everything went well with my purchase. I bought a lockable seatpost clamp and a rear rack for the Eovolt Morning ebike. Communication and shipping are excellent 👌
