    GoCycle GS

    I've been looking at bikes like the Story and Aveny due to price point issues, and a local dealer told me he has some GSs in stock for $2,000. I haven't done much homework on these because of the price, but this sounds like a great deal and I've heard good things. I'm looking for a bike to use...

    Story Bikes

    I’m deciding between this and the Blix Aveny. I’m 5’5”. Throttle would be lovely (Blix) but this weighs 20 pounds less. Both companies have been responsive to questions. Ariel Rider C-class is too tall for my preferences. I can’t spend more than $2,000 but am reluctant to spend less than...

    Story Bikes

    The last chat on this was in 2018. Any new thoughts? I’m looking for an ebike to help pedal up the occasional hill and on a once-a-week 10 mile commute. I kind of want it to function more like a normal bike on flats. Yes, the battery can be replaced without destroying the bike. Customer...

    This is the $2k E-Bike Oprah Loves

    I realize this is an old post, but I came here to research this earlier and thought others would find the company answer helpful. The battery can be removed for replacement, but not easily on a daily basis. You have to remove the fork, but there is a port behind the emblem.

    Blix Aveny vs Xstream Catalina Can't decide. Need help

    I did a FB message exchange with someone from Blix today, and she recommended I check out the Facebook group for owners. They let me join with a note saying I was hoping to get owner feedback. It turns out a friend of mine has the Aveny, and she loves it. Her only quibble was it is heavy if...

    Blix Aveny Display Issue

    Thank you! This is helpful. I’ve looked at the forum, but am a bit nervous about asking someone to test their bike during current COVID conditions in Sacramento County. (Not the person who posted the Q first, but same city). We’re on an uptick!

    The Blix Aveny and Sol look good, but the return policy with no test ride bugs me. The Ariel C-class is designed for 2 inches taller than me minimum.

    I’m 5’5”. I rode a specialized Como and liked it, but can’t justify the expense. My local shop can put together a mail order. I made space then found out I can’t test ride anything under $3k. I had a non-e Electra and loved the position but not the weight once I got into road cycling. I...

    Blix Aveny Display Issue

    If you find a place, let me know. The place in Sonoma doesn’t really offer tests and the Santa Cruz headquarters is not offering test rides right now, but they say they can put you on a list. But my fear is by the time tests become available, one would miss out on the ability to order for the...

    Hi! I’m looking to find something that is a step through in the $1,500 ballpark. My commute is 10 miles, and I carpool most of the time but would like to ride 2 times a week. Terrain is fairly flat with a few small hills, but more on wknd rides with my 8-year-old . My priorities are a...

    Blix Aveny Display Issue

    I’m also looking at these 2. It’s tough to decide when you can’t test ride much of anything.
