Where to start. I spotted Evari based on articles around the time of their first big show. What a beautiful machine. Light. Fast. Brilliant design. I dropped them a note to ask about US availability, and heard back right away, that they weren’t in the US market yet, but would check into it and see what they could make happen.

After a measurable amount of back and forth with international shipping, insurance, means of payment and the like, I finally asked if I could just fly out and pick it up in person. They said yes!

Then the real adventure began…

I got my bike spec’d—a matt red Evari 856CS, custom pedals, one piece handlebars, the works. Got the deposit in, booked the flight. Got really excited.

When I arrived at Heathrow, Ben from Evari was there to pick me up and drive us up to Silverstone, home of the British GP! We went straight to their offices, I walked in the door, and there it was. Stopped me dead in my tracks. After getting up off the floor, I went for a test ride. Even better than I imagined.

I was jet lagged, so Ben brought me to my hotel, which Evari had booked for me, right at the Silverstone track. I took a break, then Ben & Craig showed up to take me to one of the best steak & chips with a pint that I’ve ever tasted. Spent the evening chatting about bikes, drinking excellent beer. Absolutely delightful.

The next morning, went back to Evari, where my bike had been boxed up, ready to go home—they managed to get it into a box that qualified as checked luggage!

I love this bike, and the entire staff at Evari is first rate. Absolutely first rate.

PS—as far as I know, I have the first Evari in the US. YAY!

I had been looking out for an e-bike to commute from home to work for some time but was always disappointed with the clumsy designs of the specialist manufacturers and did not want a bike with a manufacturer-owned motor (I wanted a motor from a credible motor company) nor gears and a derailleur as most of the established road bike companies offered, which do away with the single speed, carbon chain, no oil practicality I wanted from a commuter e-bike……I found Evari by chance, and some luck, when I started scanning for new e-bike reviews - finally there was a bike that really looked cool and different… so I got in touch!

The purchase of my bike was a really immersive and fun process, starting with a test ride at a Salon Privé event, where I met the founder, Craig, who infectiously shared his passion, drive and aspiration for Evari.Needless to say, the test ride was impressive. Every minutest detail is so exact on the bike, the frame looks staggering (and is a real head turner on my commute), it’s so lightweight by way of its carbon monocoque frame, whilst the Bosch CX performance motor is brilliant and makes the commute easy, even in work clothes…. Other details, such as the whole bike being serviceable with one torque key, are just so innovative and make everything super smooth and easy to manage.

After sales support has been amazing, with regular check-ins to see how the bike is going, updates on new products and always on hand with tips and advice, at any time!

I’m now nearing 1000 miles of commuting on my Evari and have loved every minute, my old Vespa scooter is feeling a bit cheated as is my old road bike which is permanently stuck on a wall now :)

Evari is THE bike manufacturer you must check out if you want an e-bike which looks amazing, is put together with no detail spared and rides superbly - I love it - whilst some of the new Evari bike launches planned look incredible too!Topher (e-bike convert)

I bought my Evari nearly a year ago to commute to work and am very satisfied with my purchase.
 
I bought the bike because of its styling. Most e-bikes look clunky, but the Evari looks sleek and I particularly love the integrated Kiox and lighting system.
 
Since then, I have used it every day clocking up 150km-a-week. The bike is simply excellent. The ride is super smooth and because of the components they have used, almost maintenance free. Almost daily I am stopped by someone who remarks how great the bike looks!
 
Craig and his team have offered excellent customer service. I was handheld through the customization process, and they have always answered me promptly if I ever had a query.
 
I would be lying if I said I didn’t have some concerns about spending so much money for a bike from a small British company. But I am delighted I did!
 
Could not recommend Evari more highly.

I bought two Evari bikes. The first was a single speed 856, great looks, perfect geometry and an uncomplicated urban ride, I love it.

In fact I loved it so much I had to get another one with some upgrades, specifically the Rohloff E14 Speed Hub. This geared 856 is a different experience, making longer hilly journeys a joy.

I can’t fault either of them, the design, the ride and the build quality are so much better than anything I’ve ever ridden, and trust me, I’ve ridden them all.

Great Bikes!
