    Does anyone know if it’s possible to put a wider tire than 2.2 on the Aventon Pace 500 without changing the fork Or any thing else, will it fit without rubbing the brake pads, will it change any settings on my odometer or cause any other problems? Appreciate all responses.

    Aventon Modification

    I have a Pace 500 and I have high praise for this bike, but the lack of throttle on demand is a huge problem coupled with the sudden thrust after you start to pedal. I’ve learned to work around this (problem), because that’s what it is. A friend has the same bike and I personally watched him...

    How can I carry an extra battery that is 15.6 in. Long?

    I would like to be able to carry an extra battery for those long rides. I’m concerned that if I tie it on my rack with bungee chords, that it may fall off. Was wondering how others transport them. Don’t know if a Pannier is the way to go and do they make them long enough to hold my battery?

    Any thoughts on the Gaadi tube

    I saw an add about the Gaadi tube which is an open ended tube. It‘s a great idea, where you do not have to remove the wheel. Just cut your flattened tube in half to remove it from your wheel and insert the Gaadi tube which is sealed on both ends and inflate. Any thoughts or experience?
