Thanks, and yes, I consider myself very lucky based on what happened. I do have a rear view mirror on my bike. I have one of the types that attaches into the left bar-end. This particular vehicle gave me no reason to be concerned, and then it happened. That’s why I suspect it veered over...

There probably is something on social media in town. I know there is a very active community forum on Facebook - as I hear it discussed now and again - but I'm not a social media guy at all, and other than forums like this directly related to things that I am interested in, I don't involve...

In am going to do this as well. If I had one, I would probably have the plate of the vehicle. At least they could have been cited with evading the scene, which in CT is a court appearance. Thanks folks, for letting me vent. This incident won't stop me from doing what I love, but it was eye...

I did report it to the local Police just in case the person had a change of heart. I'm not holding my breath though. I'm simply glad it turned out less than my mind imagined during that short ride home... And, I'm left handed..

I was about one mile from home after a 25 mile ride on my Aventon Level, and a car traveling same direction veered onto the right shoulder slightly - I guess - and its right side mirror collided with the underside of my left arm just above my elbow. This caused my hand to come off the grip, and...

Humidity may not be an issue regarding your battery concerns, but it is always best to avoid storing electronics in a humid environment. A bit of road salt and/or salt from the air here and there, and you begin to have strange issues that are difficult to diagnose. Best storage would be cool and...

Yes, that plan will work well. The only other thing - depending upon where you live - would involve not allowing the battery to be exposed to near or below freezing temps. If that is a possibility based on where you store the bike, I would suggest bringing the battery inside.

I never trust reviews on a seller's website. It's to their advantage to not post the negative reviews.

I'm glad that this did not become a frequent issue for you. Sounds like maybe some type of glitch that worked itself out. I am of the same opinion as you regarding Aventon at the moment. I am happy with my Level which has well over 1000 miles on it, but I am not happy when I read the stories...

I agree that 30psi sounds about right for a fat tire. I run my Level at 70. My Kenda sidewalls show a spec of 50-80.

The issue sometimes with the manual is that it may not apply to the actual tire on the bike. Sometimes - and particularly these days - companies substitute components with what's available at the time, and it may have different specs. It's always smart to look at the sidewall specs and use those.

Hi Scott, One of the best accessories that I added to my Aventon Level was a Kinekt seatpost. I am 6'02" and weigh 220#, so I went with the XL2 version. For use on an eBike, they recommend adding 20 pounds to your weight when selecting a version of their seatposts. At 210#, you are right...

It sounds like you have an electrical issue somewhere that caused the bike to power off, or maybe a faulty controller. Regardless, the brake error code is interesting and a possible safety issue. The only connection that each brake has to the controller is a switch that cuts off the motor if...

I'm 6'02" with 32" inseam. I have a LG Level and it's just right. I also still have several inches of usable seatpost, so you would be good with a LG Level as well. It's always good to test ride one though if you're not sure. I can't comment on your other bikes listed. Never ridden them...

A good place to start is the middle of the pressure range indicated on the tire. My Level tires are rated 50-80 PSI, and I run them at 70, but I began at 60 PSI. At 70 PSI, I get slightly less tire drag, so that's my magic number. Your fat tire bike's tires will have a different range obviously...

The most common 'game over' mechanical situations on a bicycle are a flat tire or a broken chain. eBikes introduce a whole host of other possible issues such as an electronic or motor drive failures, but many eBikes can still be pedaled like a traditional bike, although with a lot more effort...

You can buy the new Aventure's display for your Level and have App support. https://www.aventon.com/products/aventon-bc-280-display It's out of stock right now, but it's an option. I find the Level's stock display adequate. I just like having basic info like speed, distance, and batt voltage...

You have me beat with your 5000 lumen light. I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Flashlight-XT21X-Advanced-Rechargeable/dp/B08J2HZB16/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3LBAAA5BV85RJ&dchild=1&keywords=professional+police+flashlight+4000&qid=1628403166&sprefix=Professional+police%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-5...

I prefer a helmet mounted light for night riding. I can aim it where I want, and since I ride in rural areas, I often scan the roadsides up ahead for deer. Either way, rural or otherwise, it's best to have light where your looking.

The stock pad bases are ferrous, and when I remove them, I remove the clip first, and the pads then flop freely around. The only plausible reason why the pads you linked above would work seems to be that those pad bases are magnetized. The other reason I think this may be the case is because...
