    Finally got the Aventon Soltera 7-speed...

    For me, the one we have is a Regular and I'm Large sized so I can't really take it on a long ride. If I get a Large one, I'll try it on 20-30milers.

    @WattsUpDude Oh wow... didn't know they lowered the 22s to match the 23s... is that a brand-wise policy or just your dealership?

    Congrats on the Bolt EUV, that's an awesome car. Did you get the 2023 model with the much cheaper price? We have a Tesla Y and a Leaf... as cool as the Y is... the Leaf is such a better ride and driver experience with physical controls and a driver display. If I had to buy again, I would...

    Wing Freedom ST (Step-Thru)

    I think Wings are Strom (Danish) knock-offs or at least the same Chinese sub. The Strom M and W are very similar to the Wing Freedom 2 and Freedom ST.

    Wing Freedom ST (Step-Thru)

    Wing doesn't have it's own sub-forum and not many people have them here but saw they had a new step-thru model: https://wingbikes.com/pages/freedom-st I like the non-black colors:

    Sport/Flow replacement battery

    I think they are Reention batteries?

    Finally got the Aventon Soltera 7-speed...

    The weight is awesome... not much heavier than a mountain bike and because I have a cheap Allen Rack, I can put my heavier Sport and the Soltera on it without concern. I agree... this is not a long ride bike... but is perfect as a daily commuter. It's weird because I think this competes...

    Espin Flow display unreadable

    Polarized sunglasses can blank out many color LCD displays. Found this out going to a restaurant that had one of those LCD menu boards and I thought their menu was broken... took off my sunglasses and magic! In case that's not the issue... as others have said, color displays have an issue with...

    Sport model by Espin discontinued

    Maybe numbers on the Flow were higher than the Sport (step thrus are popular). Or they are prepping for a 2022/23 Sport. As much as I've been searching for a lighter bike (we did end up getting an Aventon Soltera), my Sport has been pretty solid even after an accident (flipped up in the air...

    Finally got the Aventon Soltera 7-speed...

    Finally got to take it out for some rides, an 18miler and 11miler. Was going to exchange it for a Large but LBS was out of stock so we will just keep it and get a Large later so I didn't get to ride it but the wife really likes it. I may end up getting the Wing Freedom 2 just so we have all...

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    I have 2 answers to this question: 1. Nothing as long as you are a superhero. 2. Everything if you aren't built like a superhero. :)

    How tall are you Ofarrell? The reason I wanted to get a large as so that me and the wife could share it if needed... I'm 6' and she's 5'6" and she's actually more comfortable with bigger bikes than I am on smaller ones. I also want to change to hydraulic pulls as I think full hydraulic might...

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

    When did you test ride it? Aventon posted some change to their software/controller for this over a year ago that might address your concern. https://www.aventon.com/blogs/aventon_bikes/two-aventon-ebike-upgrades Before, the throttle wouldn't work unless you started pedaling, now it does...

    Finally got the Aventon Soltera 7-speed...

    I've been looking at this bike for a while as I've been looking for a light, inexpensive model... and this one had most of the things I was looking for: 1. Less than 45 lbs. 2. Multi-speed 3. Throttle What was it missing? 1. Hydraulic brakes 2. Finger trigger gear shifter (uses the twister...

    New XP Lite...

    Even if the Luna was 45 without... the XP Lite is 46 with... so still a lighter bike.

    Lectric Mid Drive? Hmm.. Game changer?

    I wonder if they've received a large number of requests for a mid-drive bike. Maybe the 2.0 was still underpowered and were trying to fill that void?

    @Doggyman1202 The Luna Eclipse is 55 lbs per their website:

    New XP Lite...

    I agree... the XP Lite is a great casual, entry level city (ie mostly flat) fun/commuter bike that you can transport without a bike rack (and for most eBikes, you need a heavy duty bike rack). Edit: I meant you can transport *without* a bike rack.

    New XP Lite...

    I'm surprised they didn't go belt drive... can't be much more expensive than single chain and as other makers have shown, doesn't have to be Gates brand name. I was hoping they would make a standard diamond frame light ebike but this makes sense with their brand. Is it me or are the value...
