Overview of components

Fork material

The fork is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the e-bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.

Wheels size

When leaving the production line, the Galaxy 500 model has 24″ aluminum wheels. The 24″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.

Brakes

For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. EVELO Galaxy 500 has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
