year over year i continue to see more ebikes on the bike paths and in the bike lanes, it will be fun to see this year as the weather turns nice in illinois how many new ebikes are out there on the paths. i know i'm excited to get mine out more frequently now that the weather is turning even for...

used to do a 10-12 mile one-way commute, my only advice would be get something really comfortable that you really like spending a lot of time on. sometimes by the end of the week, my butt and shoulders were pretty sore. if you are looking to get a workout sometimes but not all the time, i wish i...

good luck! i doubt a perfect fit exists, you may need to just get the best you can and do it for a year and see how it's working out. i did this for a couple years and always found the up the stairs is the easy part, the down the stairs is the part i always used to about trip over my bike and go...

agreed, the one time i tried walk mode just to try it out it would be better described as jog mode. not sure why i would ever use it. after 3 years of ownership i'm yet to encounter a time i would use it. this is on an aventon pace 500 (i think it's the original version at this point)

lectric, they are local to phoenix, recommended one to my brother and he loves it and has been a great value. its held up really well too. they let you do some financing stuff with buy now pay later like affirm with zero percent financing on their website to spread out the cost since you...

As a bike (now e-bike) commuter for many years, that bike checks all my boxes and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone looking. Thanks for putting so much thought into the design. I will plan on getting one in the near future. Love that you have a 3 year warranty! My first e-bike has...

I've also been impressed with the RadMission. Have had it a couple years and many rides and miles on it. Very comfortable and smooth to ride! No complaints from me, only upgrades I made were suspension seat post and added front and rear rack. I really like the stock tires on it and they are...

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...
