    Aventon quality and reliability

    Bigal - I hope your friend is OK. Thanks for sharing the warning. The bikes are great and sometimes I think we get too comfortable and forget. I had an accident a few weeks ago which I contemplated sharing as a warning as well. I was cycling at about 18 mph and took a sharp right turn onto a...

    Big announcement

Another new model? Drop in prices (not sure why they would need to given ebike demand)? Or...

    New Pace 500 Special Edition Won’t Turn On... Help!

    I struggled to turn mine on as well until someone suggesting just pressing the button twice, rather than holding it down for a long time. Probably too simple a solution to your issue especially since it worked in the past and your wife has one as well but I just thought I’d throw it out there...

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

    Some of you mentioned some issues switching the battery on. More often than not, I have to keep pressing the button and am almost ready to give up before it finally goes on. What am I doing wrong?

    Need help finding bar end bike mirror of Pace 500

    I wouldn’t cut the grip. I’d cut the mirror if anything. I didn’t cut either and it’s a very snug fit so if you don’t mind the slight protrusion, it’s great. Will post a picture in a bit.

    Need help finding bar end bike mirror of Pace 500

    Works fine if you don’t try to force it in. I am sure I could trim it to size but not really necessary. Just added a basket tonight :). Very happy.

    Aventon Pace 500 vs. Level?

    I have a Pace 500 and find it very comfortable. Was debating which of the two to order (without the luxury of a test drive) and like others above chose the Pace 500 because of the seating position and the weight. I didn’t want to wait for the STs to come back in stock so I went for the Limited...

    Clarification, please...

    It is also surprisingly easy to peddle at PAS0. That’s what I do when I want to have maximum control and I can still get it to 10-12 mph without too much effort at all.

    Problems with new Level

    Did the get back to you? I am sure they will in the coming days and things will normalise after a few days now that they are back in the office. Demand for all bikes (e bike and conventional) has been tremendous due to the pandemic. Hopefully your issue will be resolved soon so you can get on...

    Need help finding bar end bike mirror of Pace 500

    I ordered this mirror from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/624552223. Doesn’t fit perfectly unless you trim it because handlebar is too thick. Also, while it provides a nice large view, it shifts position every time I go over a bump and I have to readjust. Ordered a replacement in case...

    Pace 500 Limited Edition Delivery Dates?

    Agreed - while not having to hold it down would be nice, best to have the 1/4 turn for protection. My end goal is a bit of exercise though so I think I will avoid making it even easier to cruise. PAS alone lets you get pretty far without pedaling as it is as noted by Bill1031. Still I am a...

    Pace 500 Limited Edition Delivery Dates?

    Just went for another ride. Much more fun to explore neighbourhood than in a car. Figured out the the throttle - you have to keep it pressed the whole time and do a quarter turn with the pedals to get it going. It goes up to 20 mph. If you lift your finger to slow down, you have to engage pedals...

    Pace 500 Limited Edition Delivery Dates?

    So I picked up my bike today and rode home! I love it!!! I switched to PAS 0 at stops and turns until I was more familiar with it and my ride became a lot less “jerky”. My ride is mostly flat and drivers are very respectful (country roads) so it was a lot less stressful than I had expected...
