Nope. That’s correct. Want to get a workout but don’t want to be going over 16 MPH I’d love to find one with the belt drive but it doesn’t exist for short gals who need low step through models. I’m also looking at Electric Bike Company (near me) Model R 24” tires that are 3”! I would not get...

Oh. Wow. I am glad I posted this. So for more exercise I should have it on PAS 0 or 1 and low gear, for lots of pedaling?? On my bike, PAS 1 and low gear is likely not even possible. The PAS 1 is like 14 MPH and the low gear wouldn’t catch up. But I will try it. btw, can you add torque to a...

UPDATE AFTER1200 MILES: Well, 100 miles later. 1 spill, though I wasn't hurt. 1 brake pad. 1 flat tire (front) 2 dealer checkups, and 2 local bike mechanic checkups/seat adjustment... I am 5'3", and actually didn't realize I had shrunk at all. I was always 5'5". So, now I am understanding why...

Wow. Thanks. Lots of info. I have 1200 miles on my Pace. But that’s the only ebike I have ever ridden. maybe I need to test a few others. But the falling part is mainly due to being on a larger bike than the one I have. Most of the good ones, like Dost are too big for me. I tested the Gazelle...

Yes. I agree mostly. But I do want that throttle. Now that I have it on my Pace 500 I have found it very useful!! When I am without any assist, and need a quick boost up an incline, it works great. When I had pain in my knee a few months back, it got me going for half a mile while I rested my...

Hi! lol, I’m certainly not old or decrepit either. Lol. But I have fallen, and want to avoid that as much as possible!!! What I meant was that IF we fall, it’s a little more likely we will get hurt. And many seniors are taking up riding now, who aren’t in good shape and haven’t ridden for over...

To All Bike Manufacturers: You have been making bikes for years. Now, you have thousands of 60+ bikers who haven’t ridden for over 25 years. We have different needs and concerns. WE COME IN ALL SIZES. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL! I CAN’T be the only short female who cannot find the right bike...

Haven't been on here for a while, and wondering what you bought, and how you like it? I see you included the Ride1Up. I liked that one, but didn't get to test it. I would have had to wait a few months for that, so it got eliminated. Many of the ones listed here I tested, and they either...

and THAT is exactly the major fault with this bike. I have 800 miles now, and it isn't any easier for me to get going from a full stop going uphill. That, and the fact that when I am on a crowed path, where people are walking their dogs, or there are other bikers, I need to go SLOWER, but cannot...

I have the Pace 500 step through, and have 800 miles on it. This was my first EBike, and I did a LOT of research before buying it. I even have a very lengthy post on here about why I chose this bike over a few others. I tested the Gazelle, Electric Bike, Rad, Murph, Pedego, and one or two...

I tried them all, and bought the Aventon Pace 500 step through. I like the weight. It's important to be able to control the bike. Even today, while riding in the bike lane, I needed to go up on the sidewalk, and needed to lift the bike. I can get it into my convertible too, without having to...

I tried the Magnum, and didn't like it. I have the Aventon Pace 500. Read my review on this site about it.

Hello. Well, I am on the Aventon FB page, and have learned a lot from them as well. I LOVE my bike. It has gotten me out riding almost daily now. Usually 9-12 miles each time. Great exercise, if you keep the gears in a higher range (6-8). That makes it harder to pedal, but the PAS is always in 1...

I ordered a bike rack, and a phone holder back in APRIL. They sent a confirmation, and also sent something saying it has shipped or will ship, with NO TRACKING INFORMATION. I have tried and tried to get in touch with them. they don't answer their phones. They answer their emails with a standard...

Yes, I think that was it. I go downhill, and apply the brakes a lot. So, That means I have to be careful to let go of the brakes a bit every few seconds? And, if it is a brake sensor, will the bike shut off??
