    Pace500 Step Through - Frame size recommendation?

    My wife is 5'2", she ordered a small, and the pic below shows how much seat post is showing for her. I'm sure there is another 4-5" of post available, but then you'd be at the top end of the post height. With your wife described as slightly long-legged, my humble opinion is that she'd rather...

    Unusual brake noise...

    Brand new bikes, most everything is preassembled. I guess I assumed the lines are air-free. Does this describe the noise a line that needs to be bled would make?

    Unusual brake noise...

    Anybody else experience a strange brake noise, especially evident in a higher speed stop? The sound is a pulsing, gurgling sound...kind of like a liquid. It's coming from the rear rotor, hydraulic disc brakes, on an Aventon Pace 500 step-through.

    Key for Aventon Pace 500 Battery Case

    Have you tried a locksmith? ( I restrained myself from answering, "Don't lose the two you were given.") :)

    Pace 500, assembly and observations

    I recently assembled two Aventon Pace 500’s, one for my wife and one for her friend. Other than a few minor issues, and a needed revamp of the directions, I was very impressed with the overall quality of the bikes. The Aventons were packaged very well, and other than a small tear in the nose of...

    Clarification, please...

    Shouldn't have worried about this before riding it. My wife got used to things very quickly, and absolutely loves it. PAS 0, using the throttle on uphills, is very easy. PAS 1, with occasional pedaling, keeps a slower speed if she wants it, and is also very easy. PAS 2-5, if she wants to...

    Pace 500, rear rack suggestion?

    The Ibera is $37 on amazon prime, and is arriving two days after I ordered it! Looks like you can hang some panniers from it, or buy one of their trunk bags that clip right onto the rack.

    Pace 500, rear rack suggestion?

    Interestingly, that is exactly the rack I ordered...even before I read your reply!

    Pace 500, rear rack suggestion?

    My wife has the small-framed Pace 500, and we are wondering what rear rack might be a good fit. Anybody have experience with something that has worked well?

    500 Assembly...two issues, and a battery question

    Thanks for the quick and helpful reply! Snugging the headset, via the stem, is very clever...and did the trick. (My specialty is vintage bikes, so I was unfamiliar with this type of stem.) The warped rear brake rotor is another story. I will give Aventon a call and ask about that... Thanks...

    500 Assembly...two issues, and a battery question

    Despite an August anticipated arrival, our Pace 500 arrived today, June 23, via UPS. Nice job, Aventon, working with and correcting their shipping woes. I encountered two things during assembly that I need some guidance on: 1) The headset has way too much play in it. Other than the hex bolt...

    Clarification, please...

    I understand ambling leisurely without PAS, but wonder exactly how PAS 1 works. Are you saying that in while in PAS 1, you can pedal a rotation so the motor kicks in, then immediately stop pedaling to keep you speed down? Does the motor immediately shut down when you stop pedaling? We have not...

    Clarification, please...

    So, after reading about the 0-12 mph acceleration in PAS 1, is it possible to cruise along at 8 or 10 mph in PAS 1? Is the only way to maintain this leisurely speed to turn off the PAS?
