Does OP need to go 28 mph? The Turbo Como 1 or 2 is cheaper and only does 20 mph, but so what. I generally ride at about 16 mph and don’t need to go much faster. The Aventon Pace 350 is less than the 500 and the big difference is that it is a 20 mph bike. I would not recommend a townie. This...

On my bike getting the tire off the rim is too easy. But getting the hubmotor off, the way it is wired, is difficult. I would only use the gaadi tube to get home, then change the tire where I have a work stand and better tools. I think I’ll try the huffy tube and see if it works.

I have the Veego Semi Fat. Wanted a bike to carry with my RV. Since I was planning on road, hard surface and gravel I figured the 3 inch tires would be better. The bike can easily go 20 mph range with pedaling looks to be as good as 40 miles. I ride it 10 miles every morning. I’ve had a few...

What I meant was that over thousands of miles of riding when I was younger I would go for months, and even years with no flats. But sometimes you have a bad day. You can ride for 6 months with no flats and then get 3 in a week. I’ve had a five flat day on a race bike with 18mm tires. But with...

My wheels will not work tubeless. I would need different wheels. I can’t find a tire liner that would fit. I am using slime. This is not a huge worry because I don’t expect a lot of flats but one never knows. Getting the rear wheel off my bike is a pain be cause of the way the wires are...

It’s funny you asked this because my sister and her husband are looking at Ebikes and they mostly want to ride bike paths. $1000 if you do your homework and budget a little for local bike shop maintenance. The $999 Aventon Pace 350 would fit what you are looking for. At that price you can get...

The rear wheel of my Veego semi fat is a real pain to remove. It’s not feasible to remove it to replace a tube on the road. I am an experienced cyclist who has ridden thousands of miles. I’ve gone long stretches without a flat but I’ve had a day with five flats. I commuted to work for years on a...

Which European forums?

Please be careful. Your Pedego experience is a huge red flag. I’ve owned a gas scooter, several motorcycles, numerous bicycles, three tadpole tricycles - basically any kind of two wheeled and some three wheeled vehicles. I am a 68 year old woman recovering from cancer and dealing with physical...

I am 68 and 5’3.5”. I got a Ride Scoozy Veego folder with 20x3 tires for $1095. I am very much enjoying the bike but the 20” tires are not the best all purpose tires. In my case a big consideration was a bike for my RV and use at campgrounds. A fat tire folder is great for that. The Aventon pace...

Yes I have the Veego Semi-fat. It has 3 inch tires which I think do well on a folder. They are quite comfortable on the street but also work well on campground gravel. It’s a little lighter than the Rad Mini. I use it for camping, errands and a 10 mile ride I like to do. After 10 miles the...

How do you plan to use the bike. Commuting? Errands?Recreation? How far do you plan to ride? I’ve got a similar folding bike. It’s a pretty common style of bike. It’s so heavy that I don’t find the folding function that useful. Small wheels aren’t as stable as bigger wheels. I love riding my...

Sometimes you need to just take the plunge. Whatever bike you get you will have observations that ebb and flow over time. I’m on my fourth ebike over a period of 13 years. I’m still not sure what I want. People obsess over hub vs mid drive, cadence sensors, type of display and all kinds of...

I’ve got about 150 miles on the Veego now. I’m having a lot of fun with it but starting to see what makes it relatively inexpensive. I don’t really care about folding it, but I’ve discovered that the ability to fold it comes in handy, especially just folding down the handlebars. I also like that...

Unfortunately it was way too hot and we had various mechanical issues with the RV. Happy to say we’re home and I’m loving the bike.

Aventon Pace 500. Step thru. Throttle. 28 mph. Cruiser style position. Checks all your boxes. Reasonable price.

These Aventon bikes look like a huge bargain deal. I’ve had both hub and mid drive bikes and I’m torn between something like an Aventon and putting a mid drive on a bike I already own. The two things that have me stuck are range and hill climbing. I agree that the smoothness is a pretty minor...

I realize it’s a generic Chinese bike. More money will get you something more refined. I think it’s a reasonable compromise between a cheap Walmarttype bike and a more expensive branded bike. How much I like it surprises me. Upgrading makes no sense when I don’t know what would be better.

Yes.

I’ve had 2 e bikes with throttle only and 2 with throttle plus PAS. Before I had PAS I pedaled and moderated the throttle. My preference is to have both. I like PAS better overall but sometimes throttle is helpful in starting off or speeding through an intersection. My throttle tops out at 20...
