    Which Pace have cadence sensors or dual sensors?

    Doesn't the Breeze offer ability to select Loced/Unlocked for throttle in the display, as they advertise for Discover? Do you still get the lag in an unlocked mode?

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    Think the tuning is for amount of torque per power setting.

    Winter Riding Gloves

    Try covering the bar end not your hands, then you just need light gloves. I use Bar Mitts from https://barmitts.com/, ride most days without gloves, light Thinsulate types if it's really cold - when I'm probably not riding anyway! Tried to attach photo but rejected because too big to process.

    Tire Liners

    I am a flat magnet; the goatherds lie in wait and jump into the path in front of me, like the nails, screws and various fragments of glass and wood and plastic. I also live in a bike shop desert and have physical limits that keep me from fixing my own flats, costs $80 for transport to shop. So...

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    Did you try custom tuning the torque settings? Just seems to me that with that many options I should be able to find a combo that will work for me. or for her.

    How much is nearby dealer worth?

    My Velo D1 got stolen so I'm in the market for a new bike, riding a low-end Amazon special for transport in the interim and hoping nothing breaks. I'm looking at a D2, and the Ride1Up Vorsa with similar features caught my eye. The D2 would basically be $2k out the door from a semi-local...

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    My routine for a STOP was always 1. Lock bike 2. Remove helmet, etc. 3. Recheck lock is securely locked. 4. Leave In such a hurry I skipped 3, the most important step. I was really happy with the D1, like the improvements Velotric made so the D2 is most likely - but it will take 5-6 me months...

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    My Velotric Discover 1 was set up just the way I wanted, Jones H-Bar 2.5 Loop, Suntour suspension seat post, Tannus Armor/slime in tires/tubes, front and rear baskets. And a nice Foldylock. And it was stolen while I was at Dr ofc. Looking at video it appears I didn't secure it properly. Dude...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    Tons of Rad bikes on FB Marketplace for $5-800, thinking about picking one up. I don't drive, travel by e-bike for 6+ years. I had a Velotric I loved but it was stolen, I'm poor and could only afford a $450 36v bike from Amazon, it's less than ideal Wondering if I should risk battery probs...

    UL Certified Ebikes

    How do we handle replacing batteries? Are we limited to buying from dealer, if they're still in business? Can a rebuilder get any sort of certification, if they have exp, use industry-standard materials, etc? There is a rebuilder in Denver meets that definition, does rebuilds cheaper than...

    Purchased from a dealer. I don't drive, have no convenient way to deliver it 20 miles to my dealer's service center.

    Lbs refuses service due to insurance?

    Did decide to go with a mobile service, but it was still a compromise because they, understandably, have minimum charges that exceed cost of a flat repair. As to the advice that I do more maintenance I suggest that, at 80 and recently out of 2-wk hospital stay I'm pretty well able to judge my...

    Lbs refuses service due to insurance?

    I moved in May, wanted to find a new lbs because my seller became far away. Only 2 nearby, and both have refused to work on my Magnum Metro. Both cited their insurance. One said it was due to non-UL battery, the other because my bike had a throttle. In both cases I was inquiring about mechanical...

    Aventon Level 2 and loafing along

    I know I can go to higher pas and ghost or just throttle but don’t want to kill range, that’s why the pas 1 on metro worked well for me.

    Aventon Level 2 and loafing along

    My 2018 Magnum Metro needs a new battery after 8k miles and it has developed a tic in crank area on cold start, so I started looking for a new bike. Fell in love with the Aventon Level 2, with one caveat - the torque sensor. I’m 79, have COPD and arthritis in both knees/wrist and learned to...

    Replacing valve core on a slimed tire

    After a series of flats 2 years ago I slimed my tubes, no flats since. However, the valve has gotten clogged and tire pressure has dropped. I ordered a core removal tool from Amazon, be here today. My question - am I going to get Slime everywhere when I remove the core to clean? Is there a...

    Ergon GP3, or The Ultimate Bike Grip (Hand Position Tutorial)

    In a recent fall I was still trying to get the bike out of a skid when weight took it down, my hands were still on grips all the way down, a few digs on back of hands but not the huge road rash that is common when you go down hands first - the normal reaction.
