Serious crickets here. Not surprised. Does anyone know how Lectric or Aventon are doing these days (as companies, that is)? Are they surviving? I’ve gotten interested in the (latest) Aventon Aventure M fatty which is a mid-drive with good power and modern electronics. If I were to replace...

Yeah, exactly, Dave. I think the motor is brand new. The previous A100 motor was not exactly ancient either. :) From what I’ve heard about the Ramblas, the A100 is really good. I’m really hoping I can get a chance to try one of those on their mid-drive fatty (Aventure M). No idea (yet)...

Wow. These new aluminum (ADV) and carbon (EXP) eMTB models look awesome, and extremely powerful! Wow! Congrats, Aventon! https://www.aventon.com/products/current-adv-ebike

Well, it’s been almost a year… Anyone hearing anything? Anyone know how Lectric is doing? I’ll continue keeping my fingers crossed.

That’s one tricked out RadWagon, US! Sweet!

Lectric, Aventon, and Velotric are probably your best tickets for a fatty… They’re the ones I’d recommend these days, at least for US customers.

I came at it a different way than most, I guess. I rode a lot of mountain bike back in the early 1990s and loved it. Never competitive though. I tried fat bikes back when they were new (early 2000s) and loved the concept but found it impossible to actually ride one. I mean, I wasn’t in...

Haven’t been around much lately, but Aventon is definitely announcing in Germany, which is great. Ride1Up and Himiway were mentioned earlier and I do think they’re still up and running. Adios, Rad.

Hey, I just read some email that Aventon is going to start distributing in Germany. Congrats, Aventon.

Very cool looking, Chris! It’s probably the photograph, but the brake levers look like they’re a mite long in the reach. I don’t think those adapters look bad at all. The rotors are very cool!

I took a look at the specs online and it looks to be fairly well-equipped. They also mention that a range extender battery is available with either the 600 or 800kW battery for the Bosch CX system on this bike. The site also talks about unlocking 100Nm from the CX, which is a lot of power...

That’s great news, Jeremy!

Yeah, winter isn’t showing any signs of quitting here in central Massachusetts. Gionni, that chicken sounds good!!! Not as cold here, udog, but it has been bitter at times over the last month and prolonged.

High opinion of yourself, Charge? :D :D

Studded tires… awesome! Glad you had that bike when you hit the ice, Stefan.
