probably would just need to pay cash to repair it, thats what i would try and do if i hit a parked car and damaged it. and hope the car owner was a reasonable person.

makes sense, good news, thanks for sharing!

Appreciate hearing your first hand experience and congrats on the new bike, looks great! This bike is definitely on my short list for my next e-bike whenever that will be (love that it has front shocks and a belt drive, really the only two things my current bike is missing for commutes). Sorry...

Great trick, I used to wear a white Under Armour running hat and dip it in the fountains in the hottest part of Arizona summer and it gave me about 10-15 minutes of cool when the breeze would hit it.

Commute year round in Illinois. This winter wasn't too bad at all. Got heated gloves which helped a bit. Didn't use the bar mitts much this year because they are bulky but they do help. Thought about getting winter tires but passed and didn't have issues with ice, just slowed down or took my...

nothing crazy, the most common question i get asked is "does that have a motor?" or "is that one of those electric bikes?" or "how fast does it go?" and usually leads to a fun little conversation. can't say i've ever had anything really bad happen to me or said to me on a ride, the most common...

not too worried about insurance for theft especially as my bike gets older and worth very little, i am more concerned about liability and have found myself going MUCH slower on bike paths around walkers for that very reason. it's not a clear area at all regarding liability and i don't really...

i've been shocked how long and how well my kenda's that came stock on my aventon pace 500 v1 have worn. i like the post about buying just one new tire and moving front to back and chucking the rear. i may end up doing that because the front looks brand new after almost 3K miles. the back still...

that sounds like they are wearing quickly but big downhills could do that. i replaced one of my brakes on my other bikes with tektro at the suggestion of the local bike shop and have been impressed with them. im not sure if i would want to spend that money on my radmission to upgrade the brakes...

thats a good looking bike! i've got the white version. i put a suspension seat post on and noticed a much smoother ride, especially if you will be in austin in the streets. agree the brakes are a bit weak, i was riding to the office today and noticed the rear brake starting to get pretty weak...

good to know! i kicked around going shopping for a mountain bike without a motor and decided to save the money and have just been trail running instead. maybe next year ill spring for one.

ill have to try and find one to ride, i'm a big fan of lectric's bikes but the times ive ridden an XP3 I've found the steering to be a bit un-natural with the shorter straight bar setup. It feels a little too easy to "jack-knife" on sharp turns. I do find it quite comfortable to ride on straight...

Two, Aventon Pace 500 first version with 2.5K miles, RadMission (discontinued) no odometer but probably 1.5K miles-really nice simple e-bike. My brother got the Lektric and loves it so I ride that from time to time. I'm definitely starting to consider what my next bike should be and whether I...

with overall costs going up so quick with inflation, it makes you wonder what will give first, my bet for some people it will be cars between housing, food, cars. i have found my quality of life and budget to be in a much better situation since i got rid of my car years ago (still have one car...

thanks for clarifying, i would say anecdotally i really struggle to go much over 20 mph on my e-bike, most rides i cruise around 15-18 mph and feel very comfortable while also moving along nicely. i topped it out at 28mph on PAS 5 and really everything over 20mph felt pretty unsafe especially...

interesting to read through, no real comment from me i just hope they don't require registration and insurance anytime soon even though i could see the argument for it, makes the economics of ownership a lot more palatable. i also hope they don't get banned on bike paths because thats another...

i would reach out to aventon directly on their support site, i reached out recently about a different part no longer in stock on the website (rear rack) and the rep quickly pointed me to something compatible on amazon i plan to purchase in the near future. i was surprised how helpful they were...

when i went to the bike shop for a mirror, the owner recommended an in handle mirror which he said was his favorite type. it just screws directly into the end of the handlebar. i've been very pleased with it!

I did the same when we moved, put the bike battery in our car that was going on the car hauler, no issues. I put the ebike into the moving pod without the battery because I was afraid they would freak out if they saw the battery on there and decline to pack it. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere...

good call on the thumb throttle, i have one bike with thumb throttle and one bike with twist and much prefer the thumb throttle. more natural feel and feels quite a bit safer too. i also like that the thumb throttle is on the left side where the twist throttle is on the right.
