    How to Replace Pace 500/350 Chainring, Crankset & Bottom Bracket Bearing

    I'm a new Aventon.com Pace 500 owner and I want to share my initial impression of the bike. I'm 6'2" and 240lbs so I went with the large frame. I ride my bike for exercise and don't commute with it. I'm a pretty good mechanic but it still took me about an hour to assemble the bike alone...

    I rode a friend's KTM ebike Mountainbike in Hungary for the last three weeks and absolutely loved it. Are there any real KTM ebike dealers in the USA?
