    WASTE OF MONEY! Level V1 Batteries are not being made anymore.

    I bought a level 1 with V1 In a couple of months, the power failed. I was sent a new battery with male terminal assembly. It was good for 14,000 miles. The original battery worked on new terminal. Ihave purchased a new V2 battery and run a new Level 2 with 3,500 miles on it. With wind...

    Known Issues & Problems with Aventon Products + Help, Solutions, & Fixes

    I am heavier and after enough bumps, 2 weeks ago a saddle bar bent. Shortly after the Level was new, the "weld' on the seat post and the bracket above it failed and the seat could rotate and the saddle could be lifted up. They do not stock parts very well at all.

    Aventure.2 Power Loss?

    I had same problem level. Hard to peddle home on e-bike. So at home, I tipped the battery out an inch or two, tried to turn on power and a little out of the "slot" I had power. That meant the wiring was good but the male/female battery connections were off. You can't safely ride with the...

    Level (1) Do I need to be concerned about the possibility of overloading the motor?

    Interesting question. On my 6th e-bike and from my experience, batteries produce a little less power than advertised. Aventon says they cover batteries if they put out less than 75%. My guess is the planetary internal gears will go out before the motor.

    Hyper-bike Walmart online

    Had an e-mail 2 weeks ago. The Hyper 29er with disc brakes on sale for $598. It arrived today. 10 minutes to unpack and 20 minutes to assemble. Same battery I can use in my other 26" Hyper. I had my last 700C hyper stolen. I failed to lock it up, stepped in a shop for 10 minutes and it was gone.

    Rad Power Bikes lands massive $150M investment

    In venture capital that is their "burn rate." Burning thru 25 million divided by shipping out 100,000 (500 a day). 250 per bike. For 1500 dollar bikes they should have made 25 million.

    Rad Power Bikes lands massive $150M investment

    Lower price points. Less engineering. Also competition they face is a guy buying a dime store bike and adding a kit to make an e-bike.

    Rad Power Bikes lands massive $150M investment

    You are making several good points. Buying an e-bike without dealer set-up and service is wrong for most riders. Buying a bike online is wrong for many riders. Even Sears went broke and they had more service than Wards or penneys by far. The e-treadmill business is tasting retraction in...

    Which is the best of the best of the best electric heated glove for winter riding?

    So I have a lot of ski gloves and ride a lot when temps are in the teen. I hate ski gloves. My hands get wet soon. I have worn latex gloves in surgery for thousands and thousands of hours and never had wet hands in the gloves. Surgery is kept cool and no exertion. I have worn sailing gloves...

    Aventon Level hill climb

    This is a case for a Mid Drive e-bike. The drive train would send power to lower gears and not work as hard.

    Experiences with Aventon customer service and support?

    Bought a level July 4, 2021. Came in 10 days, battery went out and by 60 days the replacement arrived. I rode a few trips and 100+ miles total and saw the axle skewer was sticking out. I had lost the nut. So it was a pain to reach "chat" They refused to help and said to try to fill...

    Hyper-bike Walmart online

    I thought that is the same name that is on the rear hub motor. My spare battery was 200 dollars and free freight.
