I have a variety of rather insulting words I would use to describe that. Clever isn't amongst them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NU9X0ZA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This Blackburn -- which seems to have doubled in price since I bought mine -- fit my Aventure well enough once I used p-clamps to attach its arms... but... Just like the official racks from Aventon...

With those crotch-rocket straight bars, I'd say no amount of stem is going to fix the issue. I'd do both stem and some cruiser bars. Probably go for a wide comfort seat too since when sitting upright instead of the weight being on your perennial it will end up on your buttocks directed at your...

Aka "Wishful thinking fitting" and "we're too cheap to tap a hole and add a bolt" What's the old joke about "snap together?" It also snaps apart!

Tried calling yesterday morning, "This number is not in service"... classic. So fake phone number, 4 hours a day office operation, garbage broken support form, no replies at the info@ e-mail used to contact me this time last year, and 8 days deep on the order of another battery that didn't even...

An interesting idea, but would involve figuring out how to keep the wax a liquid. I think some sort of automatic mechanical agitation would be a cheaper and nearly as effective way of speeding the process. Much akin to making perfectly clear ice. I was playing with the idea of displacement...

How the hell did you pull that off? They no longer take phone calls, and I've used their warranty form and direct e-mails over and over for a MONTH AND A HALF trying to get even a response back about my dead battery. (thankfully I have a spare) I almost want to scream "bullshit" on that given...

As a fellow Aventure owner, welcome to the club of being hung out to dry by Aventon's near complete lack of support. Feel bad I didn't see this thread sooner so I could wave you off. The kickstand falling off is classic. I've assembled three of these now and the kickstand bolts are never dogged...

Kabukiman NYPD?

I take it you don't normally read "the Atlantic". That or this is just the first article you've read in it where you have any authority or knowledge of what they're covering. They are some of the worst pandering to a narrow minded gullible audience this side of Fox News. Almost every one of...

Uhm folks... it's called "Chopfit" and it's a long-time standard exercise. A good four or five pound axe has its weight multiplied by the swinging motion, resulting in a good upper body workout to go with the lower body one gets walking/jogging. One company even makes them that just look like...

Notice I said overlap lock washers, which are designed to dig into both sides -- frame and nut. The shaft is lifting off the dropout. LOOK at his dropout where there's zero nut or torque marks! Combined with that giant gap I'm surprised it's not dropping out under pedal power because there...

Didn't you people take physics in junior high? Melted, at 93C, Parrafin Wax has a viscosity of 500 cP. That's glycerin at 27C/80F! That's more than pectin at 27C/80F. Remember, water at "room temperature" (70F) is 1 cP. Wax also doesn't like to stick to metal, it's one of the entire reasons...

Also something I've noticed about the videos and tutorials online, is that they're able to break up their links with their bare hands or around a single dowel. The way I do it I need a pair of pliers to have the leverage. Either I'm a total weakling, or they're not leaving the chains in long...

The opposite of my experience. The constant cleaning and re-application is the time waster... and I don't seem to have issues with wet riding or mud sticking... BUT Maybe it's because I worked at a rope factory that made lariat some 30 years or so ago, but I can't imagine wax penetrating much...

Technically powder coat, but yeah. As I said there's more than enough metal still there. The lack of wear on the powder coat where things should be clamped down is what made me look at the third pic and go "gap problem, what type of washers are filling the gap and/or where are they placing...

I keep spares too, but mine are in sealed glass jars with denatured alcohol, by the time I'm ready to wax a replacement for the one that's on the bike after a year or more in the alcohol a simple swish and they're almost sparkly clean. Though since I started waxing I've not even had one swap...

They seem to be painted on. For mine I didn't mind the logo's but I didn't like the yellow since I wanted to go with a black-and-red theme. What I ended up doing is going over the top tube with a candy red and then a clearcoat. Sadly I ended up with swirlies in the paint because like a dumbass I...

Looking at your pics again there is WAY too much gap between the dropouts and the inner nut. (The EC32 pic it's obvious) Your stays might also be bent out of whack. Do you have the same quarter inch gap on the other side, or is it flush? You might be missing some washers there. Torque arms...

The assist I use depends on where I am and who's around. My Aventure has five assist modes, and I have it unlocked as class 3. To get anywhere I have to ride in the road, because there are either no sidewalks, no paths, no bike lanes (there are only three marked bike lanes in town, all 300...
