"Mid-drive motors are often renowned for their natural feel, meaning that the electric bikes and trikes that use them behave the most like their non-electric counterparts. Unlike most mid-drives with torque sensors, the Evelo Compass pairs its motor with a cadence sensor. For riders who enjoy pedaling actively, this allows it to deliver a natural experience at low assist levels. In its high-power settings, however, the cadence sensor makes riding the Evelo Compass extremely easy and low-effort."
"In addition to the analog-like feel of its pedal assist system (PAS), the Compass shows its refinement in both its starting simplicity and its upgrade options. The trike isn't overcomplicated with features or functions. Instead, it sticks to straightforward operation with a 3-speed drivetrain, a throttle, and five levels of pedal assist. It also has a clean, classic frame design with clear cruiser influence in its saddle and high-rise handlebars."
The Compass is a premium-tier electric trike featuring a mid-drive motor paired with a cadence sensor that provides a natural pedaling feel at low assist and effortless propulsion at high assist. Operation remains straightforward with a 3-speed drivetrain, a throttle, and five pedal-assist levels. The frame presents a clean cruiser-inspired design with high-rise handlebars and a comfortable saddle; optional upgrades include a Cane Creek Thudbuster suspension seatpost and an extra-cushy Selle Royal saddle. Battery options include a single 504 Wh pack or dual 504 Wh batteries for up to about 40 miles single or 80 miles dual, with testing supporting those estimates. Speed, braking, and climbing performance were evaluated, positioning the Compass above entry-level e-trikes.
