    Known Issues & Problems with Aventon Products + Help, Solutions, & Fixes

    Then you shouldn't have been surprised it went a faster when you pedelled pedaled vs. comparing to the lowest PAS level on other bikes. The point is that someone normally doesn't want that much speed/acceleration in the lowest PAS.

    Known Issues & Problems with Aventon Products + Help, Solutions, & Fixes

    I doubt it. There are delays with assist level changes on my Ride1Up 700 of a couple seconds or so. A bit annoying, but I just try to make my changes in anticipation of that. A minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Note, this has nothing to do with starting to pedal or moving the...

    Ongoing issues with LMTD

    They switched the XR LMT'D back to a torque sensor a few weeks ago, but the ST is still only cadence sensor.

    Known Issues & Problems with Aventon Products + Help, Solutions, & Fixes

    2 speeds? I have never seen a two-speed bike or e-bike. Anyway, my 700 has a 45T chainring and the smallest cog on the cassette is 11T. I think it's geared plenty high enough. You might need to change your gearing to your preference. I ride in PAS 0 a lot (no power assist), but I'm still in...

    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    Funny, I like the 700 series and bought one, but I barely touch the throttle. I like the granular control of the power based PAS on the 700. You can configure it to get as much assist as you want on any assist level with an optional number of assist ranges 0-3 to 0-9. The 700 will continue to...

    Top ebikes between $1000 and $1200

    New Ride1up Core-5's appear to have a "cadence controlled" power based PAS. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/1015734969062663/

    New 700

    I have a 700, one year old. The lag I notice most is when changing PAS levels. You can't change that delay in the settings. So, if I'm in PAS 0 and change to PAS 1, it take a few seconds for the power to kick in, and similar or same delay changing from PAS 1 to PAS 2, etc., so I've gotten to...

    Ongoing issues with LMTD

    I used to have mine set for 0-9 with the first 3 levels of assist at 5, 8, 14 IIRC because I wanted minimal assist in lower levels to get better exercise. But I thought the differences were too small and required more toggling than I thought should be necessary moving between preferred amounts...

    Ongoing issues with LMTD

    On my 700, which uses the same KD218 display, Assistance Sensor is also set to 12 and speed sensor 1. But on the 700, it doesn't matter what range I'm using - any AMP changes won't stick. In 0-3, with PAS on 3, I can set it as high as 18, same as with any other range, not 22. But as soon as...

    Online companies vs the Established bike manufacturers

    I would expect the Vado motor to be quieter than the Priority Current, based on past comments I've read. As long as the Brose internal belt drive motor holds up, it could last a long time, and I read that Specialized will have parts for 10 years.

    3500-4500$ Ebike, help me choose

    The first Ride1up Prodigy orders just starting showing up on people's doorsteps in recent days, and the feedback has been really good so far. They really like the quiet responsive Brose system. The XC model has a front suspension. You can get a spare or replacement battery for $449. I read...

    Battery Prices

    They've come down some. The 700 battery is $80 less than April 2021. It's $459 now, $539 after the price increase, $389 before the price increase. This is for the 700's using the 18650 cells. The new 700's are using the batteries with that 21700 cells and are $30 more expensive. This might...

    Ride1Up 700 - what changes would I make...

    I actually like the dimming feature because I use the headlight when it's dark. But there is a workaround to keep your display brighter when you are using the headlight. Turn on the headlight, then go into the advanced settings and select the luminance there. It will brighten up the display...

    My new Ride1Up 700 ST

    Happy 700 owner here for over a year now. You can get even more power out of the 700 if you go into the advanced settings, but I don't recommend running at a sustained 999+ watts, especially with much load on the bike as in going up a hill with that much power. A full battery charge gets you a...

    Prodigy available for pre-order

    I posted about this review earlier to the wrong thread, so moving it here: The weight is a little higher than expected, even with the rack and fenders. I would like to know the XC's weight. It looks like it only has a few assist levels like you would expect from a Brose system, not the 9...
