oooooooooh, California Stefan, he makes such an impact, doesn't he?

Gotta remember, I'm an old fart, so when people ask me about my e-bike (they always do), they ask, "do you have to pedal"?, and I reply, "duh, it's not a scooter, if you don't pedal, you don't go anywhere"!, so as you progress in age, even the littlest of assistance as provided is greatly...

Finding that perfect shift point by adjusting auto shift parameters via cadence and torque are my only challenge. Yesterdays ride I made many stops to adjust up or down each and I think I seemingly found a point I'm content with. Having had a Specialized Turbo Vado 5 (still do), and learning...

Nice. My wife has the step-thru Purple Haze on order.

OK then. I picked up my new Aventon Level 4 ADV on April 10th from Island Scooters in Farmingdale, NJ. Looking around, I wanted to do a test ride and they had quite a few to do so. After my test ride, it was a no brainer. For the amount of money and what you get, it was as easy as 1-2-3 and I...

New bike, Aventon Level 4 ADV, I see no discussions, comments, anything.....am I the only new owner?

Happen on occasion to me also, it's apparently something to do with losing the bluetooth connectivity. Been there done that, put the iPhone in a million places.

Assistance setting were untouched as previously set for years. I'll check the pulleys, thanks.

Resurrecting this older post......My 2022 Vado 5.0 just had the 3rd motor installed 2 weeks ago, just a tad over 10,000 miles. The reason(s) (primarily) was a squeaking while pedaling (after motor was in use and was warmed up), and even after stopping pedaling the 'spin down' (or some other...

Not sure why or what this is, but my buddy got stranded today on his Vado 4.0, any ideas?

OK, today was another experiment. Set out for 22 pre-set Smart ride, stopped for a few items at the store, came back to bike, it was kicked out of Smart mode and in ECO. OK, I THOUGHT, NOT A BIG WHOOP, I'LL DO A MANUAL ECO/SMART/TURBO RIDE. Well, all 3 modes were dead cement, no assistance...

Never tried those. Mastermind it is. Thats no joy 😩 I may have the no joystick at one time. btw, you see the new ecvt motors for e-bikes on YouTube?

I only on a very few occasions ever set elevation, or for that matter any other setting(s), and ALWAYS every time I go for a ride, I ALWAYS just set Smart Control as to the expectation of the total distance of the ride +5 miles. On rare occasions I set it to +10 miles for the expected ride. I...

Whew! At least I can now cancel my psychotherapy appointments. I thought it was me only. Further analysis indicates to me that if you set the parameter/distance (and that item only, as I always do), once you reach the set parameter (say 35 miles for a 'Smart' ride), if your battery percentage...
