Verdict on the Pegasus Solero Evo 10 test
Powerfully motorised and extremely comfortable, Pegasus' anniversary model Solero Evo 10 is an exemplary e-bike with a low step-through and has hardly any weaknesses, even for just under 3000 euros. The weight is high and the bike is difficult to load and manoeuvre, but that is somewhat in the nature of a step-through bike.

How do you celebrate an anniversary as a bicycle manufacturer? With suitable anniversary models, of course. The Solero Evo 10 from Pegasus is just such a bike, which not only stands out with its bright red colour, but above all with its high functionality at a low price. To categorise: E-bikes under 3000 euros are considered a real entry-level bike. Nevertheless, the Solero Evo 10 with its basically good equipment is conveniently available for a test ride at the friendly bike dealer around the corner.
Premium bike at a fair price?
So before we go into detail about the components installed, let's climb up first. You are casually enthroned behind the extremely high handlebars. The low step-through and the comfortable saddle speak for themselves: the Solero wants to excel when it comes to riding comfort. And the bike does this really well. Although you sit almost too upright, there is hardly any pressure on your wrists in city traffic. On long tours, you can tilt the stem forwards more. Then the spine is not so vertical and can absorb bumps from the ground better. The straight-line stability also benefits.
The contact points on the Pegasus are remarkably well designed. In addition, the bike is very stable even when loaded - which is by no means a matter of course for a step-through bike. The workmanship is successful and is reminiscent of Pegasus' higher quality and of course more expensive Premio range (Premio Evo 10 in the test here). The upward battery removal and the battery flap itself are particularly user-friendly.
Powerful equipment and high payload
The equipment is actually above average for a specialist dealer bike. A Cues 6000 mid-range gear system changes 10 gears. There is also a 70 lux headlight and, above all, the powerful PX motor with 600 watt hours in the battery and a small Purion colour display. With up to 90 Newton metres, the motor is beyond reproach. With the 600 watt-hour battery, ranges of around 80 kilometres with medium support are no problem. If you save battery power, you can ride even longer tours.
The side stand is stable and the 55-width Schwalbe tyres further enhance the high level of riding comfort. The Pegasus has no weaknesses, even with the high weight load. There are hardly any real weak points. This is surprising on an e-bike for just under 3000 euros. Of course, the suspension fork is simple and not very sensitive. And the bike is heavy overall, somewhat sluggish to ride and difficult to grip if you have to carry it up a few steps. But that's no bad thing for a step-through bike and the solid overall impression easily makes up for it.
