Description

The Ever-E-Day Elite

Breaking out of the box of Cargo Bikes

A light, sporty, compact cargo bike with electric assist option and the capacity to haul what you need with nimble elegance. The new Ever-e-Day Elite is stiffer, lighter, has an equivalent capacity, and handles a heavy load with more stability than the original Ever-e-Day. It retains all the same great features and improves on them by adding more! It also rides great with or without e-assist.

With multi-tool adaptability, it changes from a commuter bike (27lbs, with e-assist its 37lbs) to a light cargo bike for your groceries and child, just by adding accessories. The frame adjusts to the world’s widest range of sizes, fitting your whole family. It truly adjusts to your future needs. It does things other bikes just can’t!

For 2023 we have developed a list of additional features and improvements that make the Ever-e-Day Elite a cargo bike that can do even more things no other cargo bike can.

Note: The Ever-e-Day Elite is uniquely different from the Haul-a-Day Elite as it has a shorter wheel base and the rear end has multiple rack options allowing for a super stripped down version for light daily commuting as well as your choice of a regular rear rack or a cargo rear rack that can carry panniers to children and everything in-between.

  • Twin adjustable main-tubes for twice the stiffness and control with heavy loads. Providing a solid, capable, and sturdy ride without adding weight, and allowing one bike frame to adjust to fit a wide size range of riders (4′-9″ to 6′-6″). A totally different sizing universe from other brands.
  • 1lb lighter frame through triangulated space-frame technology.
  • Total weight rating at (385lb/174kg) (rider + bike + cargo) GVWR.
  • Compression-less brake housing for improved braking
  • Dedicated rear light mount on the optional Diamond Deck
  • Accessory improvements to the kickstand and the Whoopee Deux bar.
Enlightenmount braze-on fits several brands accessories
 
 
 
 
 
 
New accessory additions to the Ever-E-Day Elite:
  • New Elite frame bag option made at Bike Friday
  • New head tube braze-on that fits multiple brands’ bags and racks
  • Improved Yepp seat adapter compatibility.
  • New front rack design

Note: Pictures below are of the older mono-tube frame. The new Ever-e-Day Elite has the new diamond frame feature and all the benefits that come with that, plus it still does all the things the pictures show.

All Ever-E-Days come with 9 speeds, disc brakes, saddle, and pedals.


Choose the Accessory Ensemble that fits your lifestyle

Your Perfect Size – Truly!

The Ever-E-Day frame is built to adjust the size in three places so you can really have an electric cargo bike that fits you properly (from 4ft to 6 ft 4 inches)

You can change the size in just a few minutes to fit anyone in your family!

More about the Ever-E-Day

Feature-rich with agility as part of its secret – this electric bike does things others just can’t! Ever-E-Days for every use because everyday is different! Read on…

 

The Ever-E-Day with super cargo accessory kit, shown here, carries cargo and rider up to 385 lbs.

 

Much Lighter and Still Strong!

Most Electric bikes and Cargo bikes are 55 to 70 lbs! The Ever-E-Day starts at 37 lbs with a front hub e-assist and still carries rider and cargo up to 385lbs.

 

Ever-E-Day Minimalist Front Angled

 

The Ever-E-Day Minimalist offers a choice to start light and simple. You can transform the Ever-E-Day into a cargo bike by adding the rear cargo rack.

  • The Minimalist starts at 27lbs with no assist. If you choose the front hub e-assist 37lbs and comes with:
  • Lightweight 25+ mile battery
  • Single side kickstand
  • Frame braze-ons are compatible with many rear racks on the market

 

 
More compact for easy maneuvering on stairs, through doorways, and for storage.

The Ever-E-Day has a wheel base 45-49 inches (114cm-124cm), depending on frame size. Most cargo bikes are 60-70 inches long, hard to maneuver and store or travel on other transportation methods. 

 

 

 

Features One Size Adjusts To All (OSATA) Technology – Other one-size-fits-some cargo bikes mean that you have to adjust to the bike, rather than having the bike adjust to you! The telescoping OSATA frame on the Ever-E-Day adjusts to perfectly fit riders 4’6″(1.37m) to 6’4″(1.93m). Even in the largest setting, the wheelbase is a compact 47″, short enough to fit on bus, train and car racks. One bike that fits the whole family![/su_note]

 

 

Easily Carries One Child

With the Whoopee Bar a child age 3-9 can ride comfortably and with a Yepp seat or style child seat a child 1-4 can ride comfortably

Customers Response to the Ever-E-Day
“I used to believe cargo bikes were just heavy and I told families they just had to accept that…. I didn’t know it was possible to have a cargo bike and electric bike under 50 lbs that would carry a child! The Ever-E-Day is a great small zippy everyday bike!”

-Shane MacRhodes -Safe Routes to school coordinator

“It rides like a sporty touring bike! Smaller and lighter than my other cargo bike and corners better, I love it!”

– Mark Holms

“I live in an apartment up a flight of stairs. I needed a cargo bike but the ones I have seen were just too heavy to carry up my stairs every day. The Ever-E-Day is not much heavier than my commuter bike so it really makes it possible to have an electric cargo bike in my life!”

-Will Gurney

E-Assist Upgrade

Front Hub Drive (Class 1) – Available on all standard models New & Used

We have developed a lightweight, reliable, e-assist system using non-proprietary parts for serviceability.

The motor replaces the front hub with a motor optimized specially for our 20-inch and 16-inch wheel sizes. The battery and circuitry stow into frame bags for a discreet solution that delivers an enjoyable and intuitive riding experience up to 20 mph. This system utilizes a pedal-assist system, which engages the motor as you pedal (no throttle).

 

Front Fork of NWT with Hub Motor
A front hub E-assist motor fitted to a Bike Friday New World Tourist
Overview
  • This is a “class one” pedal assist. Max assisted speed 20mph. (these are key for many regional laws)

  • The standard batteries we use are 36 volt with a capacity of 450 watt hours. Estimated mileage in optimal conditions is 40-50 miles per charge

  • Also compatible with LIGO 10X battery upgrade (the only battery you can fly by air with your bike)

  • The whole kit adds only ~ 11lbs to your Bike Friday (for standard 36v/12ah)

  • The E-assist kit can be retrofitted on any Bike Friday.

  • Equipped with a clutch, which means less resistance when not using the electric assist

  • Great value when considering weight, function, and cost altogether. A high-quality investment.

  • 5 Levels of Assist
  • Non-proprietary, so if any part fails at nearly any point in the future, compatible replacements can be easily found even if the original manufacturer doesn’t exist anymore.

  • Cost: Please see the order form on this page for live pricing

Optional Upgrade: LiGo 10X

(The world’s only e-bike battery you can fly with!)

Key features

Frequently asked questions

How many LiGo modules do I need?
We recommend at least 3 modules for standard rides. For longer distances or steeper terrain, 4 modules are advised.

How much weight does this add?
The equivalent battery capacity to our standard offering adds an additional 1.55 lbs per cell / 3 cells – 4.65 lbs / 4 cells – 6.2 lbs.
(As batteries must be transported in carry-on, this additional weight does not affect whether the bike or suitcase can be checked.)

Can I buy batteries separately or upgrade later?
Yes. If you wish to source your batteries directly from Grin Technologies, you can – just inform your sales rep. We also offer a converter kit if you want to upgrade to this option later or retrofit an existing e-assist system.

What certifications do these batteries have?
The LiGo 10X complies with UN38.3, EN15194, EN62133-2, FCC/IC/CE (EMC/EMI) and meets regulatory requirements for e-bike battery packs in most regions. If you require UL2271 certification (e.g., for New York), please see our All-Day offering, which has full UL2271 and UL2849 compliance.

What is the cost?
This price is subject to change; please check the order form or with your sales rep for current pricing.
