    "Current-based" cadence-sensing from Ride1up

    I have Aventon Pace 500.2 with speed based cadence. It 'rides' to a set speed based on your PAS level setting. For instance, Level 2 gets me about 15-16mph with normal pedal effort. Maybe a1 mph higher with strong pedal effort. Going up hill at Level 2 my speed hardly drops (if any) with normal...

    1UP-USA Racks - I'm a fan

    Using my thighs to hold the rack level (taking some pressure of the black bar), then two hands pressing in bar, I can then gently move my knees out of the way and the two ebikes can be swung away from vehicle. This allows access to rear hatch with bikes mounted. Not a fun thing to do everyday...

    I use my ramp on the opposite side for the second bike. Bikes are faciing opposite direction. I like my Super Duty 1Up.

    Specialized Vado 4 or Ride1Up Prodigy V2

    I bought another Ride1Up bike. I've had very good customer support in the past. I like the value that DTC offers. I purchased Prodigy V2 XR. The lower efficiency factor of IGH persuaded me to go traditional derailleur route. The simplicity of chain/cassette matters to me. I also liked the cost...

    What's that rattle

    On both of my Pace 500s, the constant rattle was solved by wrapping the controller in bubble wrap.

    Ridden Aventon Pace 500 over 3 years and 7,000 trouble free miles. Battery still provides plenty of power for my 30+ mile rides. Excellent company with good customer service. NOT junk!

    Any alternatives to the Ride1up lmt'd?

    On my LMTD I like the Ibera non-disk brake rack (more stable than disk brake version which is not needed for LMTD). And Lumintrail panniers. Rack is currently ridiculously $72 was $39...

    Any alternatives to the Ride1up lmt'd?

    My LMTD motor noise quieted down as I put miles on it. Around 400miles is when I really noticed it being quieter. At 4500 miles I opened the motor and lubricated the gears with lithium grease. I had my first flat tire and decided while the wheel was off to do lubrication service. It had minimal...

    Any alternatives to the Ride1up lmt'd?

    Motor is quiet. But when you're heavily pedaling at 28-31mph on PAS 5 100% 1000 watts power output, it can be a little noisy! But then the wind obliterates that motor noise. I have tried over a dozen different ebikes these past four years. Mid-drive and mostly hub drive. Some more expensive...

    Issue finding tubes for my 26 Ancheer bike

    You need 48mm valve. This is what I recommend. Then buy Slime and install in new tubes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003286038?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1

    Selling stuff and shipping.

    I too hate packing and shipping used ebike. I use Craigslist. Sold a dozen ebikes over the years. Easy to do and once sold, it’s gone and youve got the cash.
