Tire codes can be confusing - my tire reads [ 90/100- 16 24B and (98-406 20 X 4.0) and 21 BAR 40-210 KPA ]. Vs, the Kenda tire tube [ 90/100- 16 (3.50- 16) TR-6 ]. Even Kenda Corp. was sure this'll work. And I'm not gonna take a chance and find out on a trail somewhere 9 miles from the car with...

I called KendaUSA with a Q on matching inner tube to a 20"x4". They were quite helpful (even though they couldn't say for sure a Kenda tube model on Amazon would match a Kenda tire). He steered me to RadPowrerBikes which had the tubes and we were 100% sure. Maybe KendaUSA knows were some tires...

Supply Chain backlog = worst it's been since 1987. I guess just-in-time inventory comes with a fatal flaw. 'Just in Time', now replaced by 'Just in Case'. Hopefully quality US based alternatives sprout up. ECON 101 if there's a $ o be made new players move in...

Wow. Sobering stuff. Thx for posting. Aventon did a press release June 4 regarding having to source to less than traditional suppliers due to shortages. I ordered June 3 (they could have told those of us with orders in the pipeline but did not). Either I get in under the wire or I open a...

Myers830 IF, you have the article reachable can you pls post a link here..

Thx for posting. Grrr. Ordered June 3 (announcement June 4). Bike BETTER have std. Shimano, Tectro, Samsung and Kenda gear. I just fired off an email....

Dealer in US I walked into seemed to be able to get them, but didn't seem to jazzed about do so either. Maybe the margins aren't there compared to the $4000 Cannondales. Plus they're so std. off the shelf orderable, it-is-what-it-is components. Aventon just needs a dealership network to given a...

You can order direct @ website of course .. I don't get why dealers are SO long to deliver. The Mrs. ordered an Aventon 500 on June 3. It shipped yesterday June 4 with delivery date of June 11. Its Shamano and Tecktro, YaDa, YaDa same as most bike brands, so something's up, with Lectric.

No. Here, Reddit, Facebook.

With May 18 orders in the 75,XXX's and the earlier 2.0's at 55,XXX's AND no one getting 2.0's being 20,000 units behind is a LONG wait. And that is assuming a smooth supply chain pipeline where the big guys aren't pulling on the 3 guys in Phoenix at Shimano, Tektro, etc. Supply chain issues =...

Yes I meant to say the guy took the 2.0 on May 13.

They are not moving 400 2.0's a day. They are moving zero 2.0's a day. Because there is none here to move.

Ordered April 9. Took Upgrade May 14. #614XX. Back in the day, delivery was 5-6 weeks then 5-6 weeks more @ 2..0. Then another week, yesterday. The buzz in some other sights hear not the 6-7 weeks but 10-12 weeks from the 2.0 upgrade

A LONG time. Example: # 59557 / April 1 order. Took the upgrade April 13. Getting the one week (heh) shipping delay email "from his delivery date". (what ever that is) So net net this guy is 18,000 bikes ahead of you. (I am ((or very soon was)) 1800+ behind this example. Unless they're doing...

I'm 60 mi behind you. U B on the road..
