    Trying to decide between these 3

    I have the Pace 500. Over 2000 miles since Jul when I got it on sale for $1260. I really like that it came in small size for better standover height for my short legs. I really like the ebike. Fast. Reliable. Good battery size. I have done 63 miles on the Tucson Bike Loop at PAS 2 and pedalling...

    Pace 500 Front Crankset

    I have over 1800 miles on my Pace 500. Love the ebike except for the lack of 0 Start Throttle. I regularly pedal over 28mph whenever I choose PAS 5. Sometimes hitting 30-31 pedalling madly. You can also change the top speed of 28mph to 31mph in your computer menu. You must be pedalling up some...

    Amego infinite or Aventon Pace 500?

    Amego is Definitely better ebike. Shock, fenders, lights, bigger battery for 65 mi range, 0 start throttle, solidly built 60 lb one size frame, better Schwalbe puncture proof tires, and many other upgrades. All suggest Amego over Aventon.

    Cycling Speakers

    I use this slim speaker in my back jersey pocket. At 5W it's loud enough for my rock n roll but still allows me to hear the road. I use its TF slot so not to use my phone BT. No FM radio. The big advantage of this speaker is I do not have any handlebar entanglements. If you ride with a rear...

    How heavy is your eBike, and do you care?

    My Aventon Pace 500 step over small frame weighs about 47 lbs. The choice of three frame sizes and lower weight strongly influenced my purchase decision. This lower weight will be much appreciated over the life of the ebike. It feels ‘nimble’ on the road compared to some of the other ebikes I’ve...

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R1JCXLG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Extremely bright light from Amazon. Very long battery life. Features swivel mount so can provide straight on lighting no matter the angle mounted on handlebars. Very nice powerful light.

    Ecotric bikes

    ‘Too small’ - It’s nearly 74in long and 37in high. Not small in my estimation. Stand over was around 29-30in. And it weighs around 65lbs! ‘Not Like the looks’ - Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder. 😀 Pace 500 comes in 3 sizes at $1399. Weighs nearly 20lbs lighter in small size. And...

    Ecotric bikes

    I owned the Ecotric Seagull for a month in Apr. My first ebike. It was powerful 1000watts. Fun to ride. Very heavy. Only 7 speed. Only one size and just a little too high stand over height. Reliable throughout 30day trial. I finally purchased better lighter faster Aventon Pace 500.

    Chargers

    Grin is excellent charger at $300. Luna makes a good one under $100. Chargers on Alibaba are usually good buys.

    Throttle from a dead stop?

    On Gen 3 throttle is active. Maybe FLX CS can help?

    Home repair of cheap e-bikes

    I purchased the Schwinn Monroe 350 a few months back in my early search for an ebike. I returned it. Found better ebike for less money on Amazon. Rattan 26in at $685 with discount coupon. They are now $999. It was a decent bike I rode for 500 miles. But I just barely fit the ebike. I sold that...

    New to forum

    Mmax posted: 'And the model is the Pace 500.' I too own Pace 500. I recently purchased half dozen ebikes in my search. Each time I thought 'This is the ONE!' But for various reasons, it wasn't. Until I picked the Pace 500. This ebike isn't perfect but it hits most of my ebike criteria...

    Thoughts on RadCity Step-Thru

    I I have never ridden RADCity ebikes. I have tested other ebikes (Ecotric, Ancheer, Rattan, FLX, Ride1Up, Pace 500 Stepthru, and Pace 500 Sport). I like the 500 ebikes. Powerful. Long range. Comfortable. Relatively light in weight. Different sizes available. Quality built ebikes. Value priced...

    Weighing online brands vs. in-store, a few brands for fast 12-mi commuter

    Pace 500 comes with 27.5x2.2 tires. When inflated to 55 lbs they are amazingly comfortable soaking up the road vibrations. I’ve only had the 500 for three weeks and 650 miles but it’s been the most comfortable ebike I’ve ridden. I do not have hand numbness or other uncomfortable riding...

    Thoughts on RadCity Step-Thru

    If you’re thinking of online sale, you might consider the Aventon Pace 500 Stepthru at $1399. Or the Pace 350 Stepthru at $999. These ebikes come in small and medium frame sizes. They also have 10% off coupons floating around on Facebook. 30 day return policy. And the small frame weighs about 47...

    Weighing online brands vs. in-store, a few brands for fast 12-mi commuter

    I ride Aventon Pace 500 Sport small frame weighing around 47lbs. At 73 with bad knees I can easily ride 28 mph with average pedaling effort in top PAS in comfortable full upright position. Pace 500 also has computer option for 31 mph. I tried that for a few rides. Exhilarating is the word that...

    Carrying spare battery

    I never carry anything on my bike for my daily recreational riding of about 33 miles. I use a cell phone for any flat or mechanical trouble. Many thousands of miles over the last few years...no need to call. Very lucky I guess. But when I want to do an extended ride, I add an expandable 3-8...

    Show us what's in your toolkit

    I ride with a cell phone. Over many thousands of miles in last ten years, I’ve been lucky. No flats. No breakdowns. If I ever have one, I’m calling in support. “Come and get me.” 99% of my riding is on the road in the Rincon Mountains outside of Tucson in a loop of 35 miles all in cell phone...
