    Aventure Accessories/Equipment (**i.e. bike stand; vehicle rack)

    +2 on the Hollywood Sport Rider HR1500. I purchased the Thule Easy Fold XT. My beach cruiser style ebikes are large and heavy and the wheelbase of the bikes were too long for the Thule rack. Lost $ selling it. Purchased the Hollywood rack and it works perfect. Holds two large 80lb. ebikes perfect.

    Flat tire tips.

    I bought a small portable electric winch that can be hung from a hook on one my rafters. Attach two straps to raise and lower the ebikes then attach the bike to the repair stand (more steady to work on bike). My bikes weigh 72 lbs. and this makes it a whole lot easier to lift and lower them.

    Aventon Pace 500 review at 1000 miles

    Good to hear that you are enjoying your ride. My butt starts hurting after about an hour of riding as well. Majority of my riding is on paved streets. I have front suspension fork and Cloud 9 seat but my posterior still hurts a little after prolonged rides.

    Is my locking plan good enough?

    I very seldom leave my ebike anywhere unattended. I've planned for those times when I may go to a store or decide to stop for a drink or bite to eat. I park my bike close to the entrance of the store where there is a lot of foot traffic (people able to see the bike). I'm usually in the store for...

    Indicator lights on e bike

    I purchased two sets ($50 each) for my ebikes but haven’t installed them yet. Playing around with them the magnets feel pretty strong. Most of my riding is on paved roads and some hard pack. I don’t think I will have any issues with them falling off. In lowlight/night time they are pretty bright...

    Indicator lights on e bike

    CYCL Winglights are mounted on the ends of the handlbars. That's as far apart as you will get them on any given bike. From CYCL website. They have fixed and magnetic versions available.

    Big Hello

    A good U-Lock or Folding lock. You might consider adding a motion alarm. Park close to an entrance or where you can actually see your bikes. Really depends if where you park them is a high crime area or not. Generally I do not leave my bikes out of sight for long periods of time. When not riding...

    How do you secure your bike?

    Supposed to be riding it not parking it ;). I usually don't leave my bike where I can't see it or it will be where there is a lot of foot traffic so that if someone tried to steal it, it would be obvious. For going into a store for a quick purchase I don't think a thief would have enough time to...

    How do you secure your bike?

    If someone forced the bike, i.e., tried to roll it away, I would worry about damage to the rotor. Better than having the bike stolen but still...

    How do you secure your bike?

    On their Kickstarter page and on a couple of review sites ($349). Personally from what I've seen and read, I think this lock would be a great theft deterrent for my ebikes. I don't leave my bikes outdoors overnight or for any extended period of time. It's supposed to be available around March of...

    How do you secure your bike?

    That Hiplok D1000 looks impressive. So is the price @ $350. But I guess if you really want to protect your bike…

    Old Timer Cruisin’

    I liked the red one so much I decided I needed a 2nd one for a backup :) I added an insulated bottle holder, a Cloud 9 seat, Ergon grips, accessory bar, ABUS Bordo 6000 Alarmed lock and a Road Runner California Burrito Handlebar Bag.

    First Accident Avoided - Front/Rear Camera

    Agree with having front and rear lights. I have them on both of my ebikes. Flashing during daylight. Lowlight I have the front on solid and rear flashing.

    26" X 2.8" Tires

    Thanks! I contacted the bike makers and was informed that the smallest I can go is 26x2.4. Those Super Moto-X tires might be the ticket.

    26" X 2.8" Tires

    I have two large cruiser style bikes. They have Vee Speedster 26 X 2.8 tires. These tires are for mainly used for pavement and hardpack. I also have a new bike coming which also has the same size tires but a different brand. The Vee Speedster tires are next to impossible to find and I cannot...

    EVELO Black Friday 2021

    I've been looking at the ALE reviews and various forums. I already have 2 cool cruiser style ebikes (Soul Saber Pros), but I foresee at sometime I might have issues swinging my leg over these big bikes. Looking at the different step through models and options, I wanted a mid-drive with Gates...
