    Rear axle feels rough...

    On the bike stand, and slowly spinning the rear wheel, I feel some roughness. It is uniform, and not huge, but definitely noticeable. It is unrelated to the chain drive, as it is rough with the chain totally disengaged My wife's Pace 500 step-through does not seem to have this problem, hers...

    two brake questions...

    The rear brake lever on my Pace 500 depresses quite a ways before engaging. Is there an adjustment to decrease the travel of the lever? Also, near the end of a stop, both brakes squeal loudly. I've previously used WD-40 to clean the discs, which stopped the grinding noise I used to have, but...

    Pace 500, assembly and observations

    I recently assembled two Aventon Pace 500’s, one for my wife and one for her friend.

The Aventons were packaged very well, and other than a small tear in the nose of...

    500 Assembly...two issues, and a battery question

    Despite an August anticipated arrival, our Pace 500 arrived today, June 23, via UPS. Nice job, Aventon, working with and correcting their shipping woes. I encountered two things during assembly that I need some guidance on: 1) The headset has way too much play in it. Other than the hex bolt...

    Clarification, please...

    So, after reading about the 0-12 mph acceleration in PAS 1, is it possible to cruise along at 8 or 10 mph in PAS 1? Is the only way to maintain this leisurely speed to turn off the PAS?
