I saw an ebike like this on a Newport Beach trail yesterday and I always wonder who converts these bikes. It was a rear hub so not sure if it was PedalUma but the job looked pretty clean. I am thankful for the ebike technology that allows me to ride often and farther.

I think @Mr. Coffee posted with ChatGPT. :)

I saw an iPhone when I was riding with my buddies down a decline... was going pretty fast so I didn't stop. We get about halfway to our turnaround and one of the guys says "I think I lost my phone!". Just me an him rode back since I knew the area where I saw it and we see it is still there and...

Anxiety not as high on an ebike as an EV, you can't pedal an EV. :) Most of my rides are 20-30mi range and I thought the smaller battery of the Soltera.2 would be an issue but I rarely go below 50% (which is better than on my Espin) so not too worried. And... we have the OG Soltera and the...

In that regard, so can a seat stem. :)

You can get a suspension handlebar stem, but they are pricey... the Redshift one everyone recommends is around $200. I found a cheaper one for $80 on Amazon but I need to find a less than $30 one. :)

@SleepyAlgae Did you make the chair out of the box? I found out about it after I threw some away. Also installed a $20 suspension seat post and it helps absorb the bumps.

Been a while since I've posted in this thread. Sounds like my Sport's bottom bracket is creaking and I don't know if that can be fixed because I think it's sealed. Other than that... still going strong. I'm spoiled by the advanced cadence sensor because after these few years I really had the...

Been watching videos and spec-wise the Portola seems better. The Altus derailleur, thumb throttle (instead of twist) and being able to take the battery out without folding are advantages to me. Trying to find an XP 3.0 vs Portola video.

If they made it foldable would be on-brand for them.

That was a fast delivery. I wonder how this compares to the XP 3.0.

Do you think you have to leave the key in it? I never understood this... but I guess it's like an old school car to keep it from getting stolen?

So I'm getting the E25 brake error. I need to cycle/press the right/rear brake in order for power to start flowing when I'm in PAS or I get no power. Reached out to Aventon support a week ago and no response so I updated the ticket. Added a stem riser which helped with a pinched shoulder nerve...

So how are you even posting on EBR? :) I didn't wear a watch for years and then started looking into smartwatches. Avoided Apple Watch because I thought they were overpriced but other smartwatches didn't play well with my iPhone... so finally caved and got an Apple Watch in 2020. Never drops...

Looks like they will be letting us know on 10/27/23: I wonder if it will be a full size folding ebike? They seem to be hitting every folding category out there. Maybe an XP Lite 2.0?

Ride1Up finally has a folding bike: https://ride1up.com/product/portola/ Also featured in Electrek: https://electrek.co/2023/10/23/why-the-new-sub-1k-ride1up-portola-electric-bike-will-shock-the-industry/ This looks really good. Was considering the XP 3.0 but the design of the Portola is...

Saw an older couple (older being relative as people can refer to me as older) riding on one of our trails and I was amazed at how fast they were riding because we couldn't pass them and they looked like they were on regular bikes. Most of my crew uses regular bikes so once we got on a section...

Did not read this entire thread but after I got my ebike I thought that maybe if I got lighter non ebike (I was using a mountain bike for paved trails riding) it would be better. It was fine for a while but any rides that had some inclines or were over 20 miles made me switch to my ebike. So I...

I need a bigger solution for a 15-20lb dog. Prefer a handlebar system or front pack carrier so I can keep an eye on him. As if my bike wasn't carrying enough weight. 😁

2 days but I'm on the west coast and Aventon ships out of Cali.
