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...

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

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?

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:

Need to train my eyes to the blue... green was my EBR indicator. Thanks for the update!

Soltera 2 is out: https://www.aventon.com/products/soltera-2-ebike?variant=42472444920003 Torque sensor, upgraded lights and slightly bigger tires (700x38 vs 700x35).

Looks like Aventon changed their minds, Soltera 2 is now out.... biggest changes is adding torque sensor (like the Pace 3) and upgraded lighting. https://www.aventon.com/products/soltera-2-ebike?variant=42472444920003

Yep... looks like all the previous forums have been restored too. I did not know there was a Lectric Cycle and Lectric eBikes.

Currently not looking to replace the Sport. Gonna get a folding 20" fatter tire or a lighter ebike. Or both. :)

There is definitely some issues here. It's like an old backup was used for the restore. Many subforums/threads/posts are missing.

Looks like some sub-forums got nerfed on the restore? Lectric is gone as a few others.

So it's been almost 3 years since I got my Espin Sport and I still haven't found a replacement for it. It's banged up (huge accident a few months after I got it) and getting rusty (been through some rain) but it's still going and compared to the other 3 bikes I've ridden (we also have an...

Hah.. is the seat a Selle Royal? I had the same exact part fall of my Espin Sport seat.

Do you have an REI near you? You can call them and ask but they can service most brands except Super73 (at least my store does not).

Just rode this morning and it seems I use right/rear more.

Feet first! Kidding. Face first! Kidding again. I apply both with emphasis on the rear because of what others said about flipping over. I believe most front/rear wheeled vehicles put emphasis on using the rear brakes but as also said by others, it depends on conditions too.

So anyone get any of these 3.0s with the hydraulic brakes? I am very pro-hydraulics but had an issue with mine that cost me $30+ to bleed... and all I did was take the front tire off. :(

Little confused by this thread, his March 15 post said he is working on a refund... then on April 5 he got another Rize bike shipped to him (undamaged) and then he disappeared. Rize must have had him "dealt with". :)
