Yes, $2.

He wants to put it in SUV. 50 lbs weight of a 2" folder is still a lot, the folded package is bulky and awkward, not easy to lift. 65-68 lbs of a fat folder I wouldn't want to lift, any spine problems won't be easy to fix. Fido D11 sounds nice, on the paper :). Possible caveat is proprietary...

You don't need a larger air pump with these tires. But I would prefer CO2 cartridge with a small adapter/inflator, while carrying some small pump in case if CO2 fails. You might not have to cut zip ties, but will definitely need a wrench to disconnect the motor and tighten it back again...

Rich C, - both throttle and PAS in Aventon come online after one turn of pedals.

PAS 1 can be reduced by lowering max speed in Settings, of course not everybody wants to sacrifice 28 mph speed. The motor is supposed to be Shengyi. A brand inferior to Bafang motors. With this level of quality common approach of a seller is to replace it until you get a good one. Why not...

Yep. Trying to sell you not what you need. 160WH battery in a hilly Switzerland sounds a little odd. Non-removable battery can be expensive to replace and likely with a short lifespan because it's not stored at room temps between the uses.

Hard to tell what they meant. Most likely the first person meant "ampere-hours" - battery capacity, and the other one meant "amperes" - current. People often confuse these terms. Ampere-hours is only a proper measure of battery capacity (and thus - the range), if we compare 2 batteries of the...

You should get your ducks in row before moving any further, because you are confusing the units. Current: A Voltage: V Wattage: W=A*V Capacity: A*H=AH (amper-hours), or A*V*H=WH (watt-hours). Battery is 48V*12AH (amper-hours), not 12A. A is the current and correspond to acceleration. V*A=W...

It is not uncommon for LBS to service what they sell (while other bikes they may or may not service), but this shouldn't be the reason to limit your choice to a few models sold in your local store. Especially if you don't like those models.

Didn't realize that. It did sound like somebody's own experience, but, like I wrote - the guy hasn't learned much. Alright, if this is a team effort, then a "boo" to this news/marketing team :). I have to say that have lost interest in CNET materials in the last few years - the quality has...

You're talking about different type of motor. Mid-drive (like on Verve) is low 250W but it climbs hills "almost" same well as 500W geared hub and much better than direct drive hub. It uses less energy, so 400WH battery is adequate. 500W DD hub will climb too, when climb isn't too long. But...

And more expensive, and more complicated item. The comparison to T-shirts is a reach. You don't have performance issues with a T-shirt, or warranty and post-warranty problems, or parts replacement.

Couple of miles? Pedal it as a regular bike. Turn PAS to zero and don't use the throttle if you're afraid. Or, you can open Settings on display and reduce max speed to, say, 20 kmh (12 mph). Then on PAS 1 it will barely give any assist and you will be pedaling leisurely 7-8 mph. Don't use the...

Go easy on a newbie... He is sharing what he's learned - which is not much :). Better than commercials like the recent one by FLX - zero useful info in that one. Yes, it has a Walk mode. People don't read manuals. Those "Christmas lights" - 4 lights out of 5 (or 4 bars out 5 on LCD displays...

Loosening all the controls and fixing them again is more work and can be a bit of nuisance. Some people are very particular with the angle and location of brake levers, shifters, trigger throttle, display. You want it to be "just right" for you personally.

I think Pace is more upward position than Level, not the other way around. Maybe somebody who compared both, will chime in. One drawback of Pace is - no front suspension.

Aventon frames are more pedal-friendly than some other bikes, more pedal-forward position. But Level is still pretty heavy at 63 lbs. You might consider Pace 350 or Pace 500 instead. As others noted, direct drive motor is not the best for unassisted riding, the drag makes it feel like riding...

Scared of uncertainty, are we, Mikie... Here is another question - will there ever be post-Covid? There is no real vaccine (antibodies production doesn't mean it works), containment measures in most of the world - except for a few countries - were a joke, no screening at the borders, poor...

Prices should come down (a little) when people will start cars and transit again, yes. The question is - when, and how low. There is no guarantee that epidemic will end this year and there is a strong possibility that it will more-less fade out by August-September, just in time for winter flu...

$CAD is low now, but there are still bikes under $CAD3,000. Under $CAD 2K: https://www.citecycles.com/store/Up-to-$1-999-c29343221 From $2CAD 2K to $CAD 3K: https://www.citecycles.com/store/$2-000-$2-999-c29343222 Also, online retailers like Volt and RAD. Volt has distribution center in...
