    Aventure rear brakes do nothing, fronts barely engage

    Well, Hey! You’re riding! Aventon’s BS is enough to put a bad taste in your mouth. Glad you‘re on the road. I’ve had my Cruisers up to 33mph just to see how fast I could them up to. PAS 5 and me doing my part. At first I thought that 20-25mph wasn’t all that fast but on a bicycle it’s plenty...

    My Magnum Summit

    Congrats on your Magnum. I was in one of my LBS about a month ago looking at some accessories. They sell both standard bikes as well as some brands of ebikes. They carry several of the Magnums including the Summit. Just looking at them I was impressed with the look and "beefy" build. Was looking...

    Air valve stem question

    I would be concerned of the hole in the rim cutting the valve stem. For sure let the air out of the tire and and move the tube and or tire to get the stem straight. Would suck to have to replace a tube right off the bat with your new ebike.

    My Bike Totally Died Today.

    Kudos to you for having the motivation to DIY. Sometimes you learn things the hard way, i.e., what your bike is capable of. I see a lot of people who think that THEIR ebike or choice of components are better than anyone else's. You like what you like and buy what you can afford. Therefore your...

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    My dealer wouldn’t install a 2” receiver hitch on Mazda CX5 as the manufactuer only offers a 1 1/4”. I went to an auto accessory company and had them install a Curt 2” receiver. I won’t be exceeding the weight limit even with two ebikes on the rack. I’m using a Hollywood rack for Two ebikes...

    If One Is Good, Then Two Is....

    Yes. One of the reasons I bought from them. I did a lot of research before buying my first ebike. This fit the bill with the style, quality and price.They will be coming out with some accessories in the coming months, i.e., racks, fenders and a few other items. Friendly group of people. Answer...

    How to Prevent Flat Tires on Electric Bikes

    One of the LBS offers “Desert Proofing” tires. They install a liner, thicker thorn proof tube and put in tire sealant. Fairly cheap at about $35 per tire and they do all the work. Several people who have used the Tannus Armour said that it compresses over time and becomes very thin and longer...

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I’m currently running tubes pre-charged with Slime. I puchased a couple bottles of Flat-Out to use next time around along with some thicker thorn proof tubes. I bought a couple of large 500CC Syringes (included about 2ft of tubing) from Amazon. I will just pour the correct amount in the syringe...

    If One Is Good, Then Two Is....

    I received my first Saber Pro back in April. Enjoying the bike a lot. After some researching I found this brand/model and luckily it was local. I liked it so much I went ahead and purchased a second one in a different color. Now I have a backup ride if needed and an extra to take family members...

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I’m running 26x2.8 tires/tubes. I contacted Flat Out and was told to use 8 to 10oz. of product in each tire.

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I think some LBS's will tell customers that so they will purchase the more expensive Tannus product along with the labor to install them. I'm sure they work for some people but after seeing how they flatten out over time it's no different than using a thicker thorn proof tube. One of my LBS...
