Great info and update! Glad to hear the bike is working so well for you! We also love ours after a little more than a year. Felt the same way when they put the bike on discount but oh well. Thanks for the recommendation on the handlebars, we also found they aren't the best so nice to hear about...

Took my daughter to coffee shop for first time today! Problem is route home has pretty big hill. Came up with a fun little solution using my hamstring stretch strap. Worked perfect and felt very safe at 8 mph! She sang while we rode and said this is so much fun and even helped me a bit by...

This is what I do for the most part. Stop signs I roll through and red lights I treat as stop signs if there are no pedestrian walk lights or they don't work. Lots of red lights won't pick up bikes if they have the old saw cut monitors that detect weight and a lot of the pedestrian cross buttons...

Nope ongoing still, thanks for asking and the ideas! we have tested out my older one on the ebike and he actually fits pretty well so that’s been a nice temporary solution. I’m tempted in a year or two to get a new ebike for myself and pass down one to my older kid.

Agreed, we are looking to get a regular car for our next car and then think the one after that may be electric so 15 years from now or so. We will stick to ebikes for now. My wife is actually very concerned about the electric battery fire (whether justified or not it’s a real concern of hers...

Great article and interesting for sure to read about norways transition to higher adoption. What is interesting to me is I’ve talked to quite a few people lately buying new cars and none have even considered an electric vehicle. Seems like a lot of folks are still buying regular gas cars.

Thanks for the insight and glad you love it! This would be the route I want to go for sure if I do. I’ve been really impressed with lectric and their bikes.

Lol love it! They both have manual bikes and ride daily. The issue is the farther off practices depending on the sport season. Right now all sports are close and I’m biking a lot to work which makes one car work great. Plus we have other family around in a pinch. We looked at a moped recently...

That seems high, I have spent $200 on maintenance in 2 years at 2000 miles and that was for a tuneup, new chain, and new cassette. Looks like those are belt drives so a tuneup every year or two for 100 bucks is probably fair. I am due to get in for my right brake being squishy and will likely...

7/10 quad cities iowa Illinois borders on roads is decent but we have a really nice river bike path that connects our cities and we just built a nice new bridge that has a beautiful pedestrian and bike path. I feel much safer biking here than in Phoenix, cars are much more polite. We also just...

just had this issue pop-up during an annual tune-up and told them break was soft/squishy, local bike shop couldn't get part since they aren't an aventon dealer but called another one across town and they can get it without issue since they are an aventon dealer and they're happy to put it in, my...

Nope I’m on my first ebike, the other ones were just regular bikes that I would mix up for fun to keep my commutes interesting. After a certain amount of time on one bike, I get kind of bored. When I could get a decent bike for 100 to 300 I would just vary what I rode to keep it fun. There are a...

I would ride any of those except the small wheels ones but I’m 6’2” so you may like them better. My advice would be there is no perfect ebike so just get that first one and start riding. After riding many miles you will get a good idea of what you want on your second one. I’m on like my 7th...

That’s good looking! I would have definitely bought one of those a few years ago when we went to one car. We used those kids pull behind trailer things which were a pain in the butt, that bike sure would have been more fun for everyone (parents and kids!)

Really nice analysis, good link and they did a nice job of capturing all the possible costs! I ran the numbers for us a few years ago and we just don’t drive enough to justify a new electric car yet. I think our next car will be ice and then we will get an ev in about ten years.

Absolutely love my Aventon Pace 500 (original model). Have about 1,900 miles on it now. If I could only pick one thing to change it would be torque sensor (to be honest, I didn't even know that was a thing when I bought the bike, I thought you only got to pick between rear-hub and mid-drive and...

Good luck on your commute and stay safe. There’s no way i would mess with picture 3. box turn is my go to for situations like this. Sometimes the best bet on a bike is act like a pedestrian and cross like a walker. When in doubt take the safest option. Always assume the cars don’t see you. I’ve...

That's a good looking bike! I'll have to keep that in mind when looking again. I would like to get torque sensor on my next bike too, that's one of the only issues I have with the RadMission I have, otherwise it's perfect. That's a lot of riding, good for you!

Very sad news. Very unsafe for cyclists on the roads out there. I bike commuted in Scottsdale for a while and saw some wild things and really bad driving and only getting worse with cell phone usage and distracted driving.

This will be interesting to watch and learn more about the safety of these batteries. The more I learn about ebike fires, the less desire I have to get a Tesla. So much energy in those batteries. I even get nervous having two ebike batteries in my house at times. I suppose one option would be to...
