    Swytch Kit - Latest Kit

    Saw an older couple (older being relative as people can refer to me as older) riding on one of our trails and I was amazed at how fast they were riding because we couldn't pass them and they looked like they were on regular bikes. Most of my crew uses regular bikes so once we got on a section...

    Were You Moving Away From E-Bikes, What Traditional Bicycle Would You Buy?

    Did not read this entire thread but after I got my ebike I thought that maybe if I got lighter non ebike (I was using a mountain bike for paved trails riding) it would be better. It was fine for a while but any rides that had some inclines or were over 20 miles made me switch to my ebike. So I...

    dog carriers, maybe trailers

    I need a bigger solution for a 15-20lb dog. Prefer a handlebar system or front pack carrier so I can keep an eye on him. As if my bike wasn't carrying enough weight. 😁

    Well, Aventon is the manufacturer. That text could be for the Pace?

    Level 2

    Weird... I thought the Levels were 60+ and it was the Paces that were 50+. For casual riding, I prefer the cadence... maybe with bigger motors, torque is better.

    Isn't the Level the same weight as the Espin?

    Soltera.2

    I posted this on @Taylor57 Level 2 thread: Rode a 23 miler on Sunday and I think I've finally got the torque sensor figured out. I have to combo it more with gears to get the right ratio and I have to remember this is a 350w motor vs the 500w of my Espin. But it still was able to get my big...

    Level 2

    I'm actually split on the torque sensor on the Soltera.2. I understand the concept but I don't think it saves battery life as Aventon is claiming. I've been doing some testing with and the old cadence sensor Soltera (so basically the same bike) and the OG one saves on battery more (this is...

    Soltera.2

    So now that we are doing longer, faster rides with the e-bikes, our kids can't hang so we decided to get another Soltera... but this is the sequel, Soltera.2: Electric Boogaloo! This is our experience with the original Soltera...

    Finally got the Aventon Soltera 7-speed...

    I ended up ordering a Soltera.2 and it's arriving tomorrow. Wanted the large black but that doesn't ship out until 10/15 so ended up with the Citrine (sort of sounds like another yellow substance) as I don't mind brightly colored bikes. We will see how this is compared to our regular sized...

    RIP AHicks aka Alan Hicks

    Sad to hear this. He was a "big boned" ebiker like myself and shared broken spoke stories. Condolences to his family. Rest in peace.

    Is Sondors next?

    Electrek had an interesting article speculating that Sondors might go the way of VanMoof: https://electrek.co/2023/08/22/signs-point-to-e-bike-company-sondors-in-peril-leaving-riders-stranded/ Has anyone here bought one of their e-motorcycles?

    Are belts supposed to last longer than chains?

    Forum migrated, please report issues!

    Hah... you changed the favicon! I couldn't find EBR in my all my tabs because it's a blue bike now. Now I really have to train my eyes for the blue. :)

    @Court You should probably update the Favicon to either black like the main site or blue like the forum. It's still the old green one on my browser like when I search:
