Good call! I think I will wait to use them for those types of days. My Thursday ride is forecast at 36 degrees at 7AM which seems like a good pair of gloves will still work just fine, total commute is under 20 minutes so don't get all that cold and right when I get uncomfortable, I can see my...

Just got my bar mitts installed, a bit bulkier than I expected but we’ll see how they work on Thursday when I ride to the office!

Saw this headline, I had kicked around buying one of these as a "starter" e-bike off Amazon and ultimately decided to spend a bit more and get an Aventon Pace 500 and have been very pleased that I spent a bit extra. I've seen a few on the bike paths and talked to the owners and they have said...

This will be my first winter riding in Illinois after moving from Arizona, can already feel the temps dropping pretty good. Was about 40 degrees F on the way in to the office this morning and pretty brisk. The balaclava was a big help and also growing my beard out right now. I have some alpaca...

I'm curious about this and would love to not buy a thermal wrap for $20 if I don't have to. My ride is only about 17 minutes long. I can store my battery in my house at home and store my bike inside my office when I get there too so the battery is in the elements for less than 40 minutes total...

Good to know! I've kicked around having the LBS take them out when I rotate my tires. I don't plan to get them on my next bike and will definitely be getting front shocks (big mistake on my part not getting front shocks). Flats were a big hassle out in the dessert (cactus needles) where I lived...

I paid a decent amount for Tannus Armous inserts (over $100 total for 2 tires if I recall to be installed by LBS) and have been very pleased with them. They add some weight and definitely add rolling resistance which chews up a bit of battery but have given peace of mind. Since my bike doesn't...

I’ve got a quarter mile stretch between a grade school and middle school that my kids walk and bike and is pretty rough, what is the name of the contact in Petaluma? I’d be curious to hear more and work with my city.

My commute has gone from just over 10 miles in the hot and sunny desert to under 4 miles in the temperate (for now) Midwest and is really a nice way to start and end my work day. I live on top of a hill and start by coasting down into the river valley, at the bottom of the descent I jump on to a...

What a beautiful bike! I’m saving up to get one in the near future. This will be my first winter commuting here in Illinois (Illinois winter is a bit harsher than Arizona so I’ve heard). I’m ready to be done with the rear hub motor and switch to a mid drive. Never ridden an internal gear hub but...

Congrats! I was talking to a guy on the bike path who was commuting in the morning on an adventure and he said he absolutely loved it! I thought he it was really good looking up close. I got an aventon pace 500 but after seeing the adventure I kind of wish I had that one especially for the front...

I'd be curious to test ride a Soltera single speed to see how it feels. I've been really happy with my other e-bike which is the Rad Mission single speed, I find it very relaxing to ride and the shorter chain length feels really nice. It also coasts a lot nicer than my Aventon Pace 500. I can't...

I have two e-bikes and am very pleased with the range on both (Aventon Pace 500 and RadMission). I have a pretty easy ride to and from work with small little hill on way home that uses a little battery. It's also along the river valley so generally one of the trips will be into a pretty decent...

That was my first thought when I read this was a heart-rate sensor could do the trick, peg it at something like Maffetone method of 180-age-another 10 for recovering from heart situation (ie: 180-65-10=105 HR), interesting idea for sure.

Thanks for doing that and sharing, I've been tempted to do a max range test (ride until my battery dies) but haven't had the patience. I've got 2 bikes (Aventon Pace 500 and Rad Mission) and they both seem to do better than the "advertised" ranges which has been a nice surprise. I did put Tannus...

Very cool, I feel that joy too when I go by a gas station for 5 bucks per gallon on my ebike or even think how much it costs to fill up gas in a large truck that passes me on the road. Very cool website, I would love to get some land here in Illinois or Wisconsin and put a solar cabin on it for...

I do a short commute (under 5 miles) and previous commute was 10 miles on a rad mission 1 and an aventon pace 500. Fairly flat with a slight downhill there from top of hill into river valley and reverse I’m way home . Could use regular bike especially in the morning but man it’s sure nice having...

This was super helpful, I’m going to give it a try tomorrow. The pas settings are way too high in my opinion, I only use 1 2 and 3 pas and would like to dial them all down a couple mph! Very excited to get them lower and may trial and error to find one that matches my wife’s rad mission so we...

Excited to watch this thread, I have 1300 miles on my tires and am shocked how well they lasted. I’ve thought about rotating the front and back but we’ll see if that actually happens. Glad to hear at 3k miles your tires are going strong. I only ride on the road.

Interesting move, we used the mobile bike van for a test ride and it was the deciding factor for my wife to buy the bike. Maybe others are more comfortable buying a bike without a test ride, but dropping thousands on a new product we sure wanted to test ride it first. I bought mine from lbs and...
