    Kinekt 50° Comfort Stem vs. Redshift 30° ShockStop Suspension Stem

    The Kinekt comes with three different springs. I have one yellow elastomer the Redshift. I'll Have to compare the different springs and report back. There is also an optional elastomer plug of some sort which can be put inside the spring.

    Kinekt 50° Comfort Stem vs. Redshift 30° ShockStop Suspension Stem

    I wanted to compare the new Kinekt 50° Comfort Stem to the Redshift 30° ShockStop Suspension Stem. I had already purchased the Redshift stem when I found out about the new Kinekt stem. After feeling the benefit of the Redshift stem on my Pedego Avenue, I wanted to check out the Kinekt for my...

    We need to stop blaming victims in bike theft!

    I started listing my bicycles on bikeindex.org. I think you can list it even after it was stolen. They have been helpful in recovering stolen bicycles. Hopefully this info helps someone.

    Pedego PAS Design

    When I picked up my Avenue, I told the dealer that my Wife's Avenue did not have as good of a throttle response and the PAS would not back off until well over the speed setting for that mode. When applying the throttle, rather than slowly ramping up, the minimum speed was quite fast, unlike my...

    Pedego PAS Design

    I have an Element which I understand is the most recent version, purchased the end of August 2022. The battery is in the down tube and installs from underneath. When in PAS1 and climbing a hill, the bike has to be going much slower than the ~8mph for the controller to apply full power. Bumping...

    New Kinekt 50 Degree Comfort Stem on 2022 Vado 5.0

    I put the Redshift 30° on my Pedego Avenue and really like it. I do notice the slight twisting of the handlebars, however. Had I seen the Kinekt 50° stem, I probably would have gone with it even though I prefer the Redshift Suspension Seatpost. Does anyone have a side-by-side comparison of the...

    Best ebike for Petite Wife?

    I have an Avenue and an Element. While the Element does take a little more energy to move than the Avenue, being an ebike takes that problem away. The Element is definitely heavier than the Avenue. That being said, my wife and I rode a 30 mile ride with the trip out at relatively low speeds on...

    Anyone have the new Pedego Avenue yet?

    It is a great bike, especially with the stem able to be rotated from 0-90 degrees. My wife had me move hers on up to the 90 mark. I also ordered and installed a Redshift Suspension Seatpost on my bike to test out. My wife tested it out and now I have another to order. Your girlfriend might want...

    Anyone have the new Pedego Avenue yet?

    There is only one frame size for each design: classic frame and step-through. Here are the dimensions for the two: The seat post can go all the way down if needed. My wife is 5'3" and the step-through fits her just fine. The handlebar stem is adjustable from 0 degrees through 90 degrees so you...

    Anyone have the new Pedego Avenue yet?

    Hopefully it won't be too long. In this day and age, who knows. If it isn't one thing it is another. Hopefully the rail strike can be averted.

    Anyone have the new Pedego Avenue yet?

    I'm still waiting on my Avenue to show up. The dealer has had their last two shipments delayed by the shipper! My wife really likes her Avenue as it rides very much like her Schwinn Sierra and my Schwinn Cimarron from 1987. The dealer still doesn't know when the new Avenue rear racks are going...

    Electric Car thread

    That isn't true. It depends largely on what chemistry your batteries are. If LiFePO4 also called LFP, then charging to 100% all the time is fine. If almost any other chemistry currently used in EVs then that 80% is for ANY charging method, including at home. Take a look at Tesla, for example. If...
