Got the 500 medium size step thru and love it! One does get used to the sudden acceleration at PAS 1. I've added a bike rack with commuter bag, a rear light, and bike dealer found a front fender that fits for $35. I had a hitch welded on the back of my travel trailer and bought a Swagman RV...

I needed an RV rated bike rack for the back of my travel trailer. Got the Swagman e-spec rack rated to hold two 70# bikes, and left one platform off. Seems very well built at $399 from Etrailer.com. Haven't had a chance to see how it performs yet, heading cross country in a week or so.

Robrob, did lowering the speed from 28 to 19 reduce PAS 1 speed also?? I'm 75 and wanted the Pace 500 step thru, which I'm happy with. I just did take it to a bike shop for a front fender, but had them check it out also. For only $30 labor, they adjusted the shifting, and the brakes (they...

Just to verify, if slime is in the tires (mine are 27.5x2.2"), that will NOT affect psi accuracy using a tire gauge, nor will it plug the valve core or the gauge itself?? Since most gauges leak a tad of air when put on the valve stem, why isn't the slime going into the valve core and gauge?

I'm not facebook savvy, and while I can post a question there because it has a "post" icon to hit, I can't seem to add a comment to someone else's post. I type in my comment, but don't see a "post" icon anywhere. What's the secret? Great info. there!

Decided to add a puncture resistant liner to my Aventon Pace 500 tires, and carry a can of Slime as a back-up. But, when slime is inside the tires, does it plug up the valve stem when checking PSI and/or plug up the hand pump when used??? Slime is cheaper than a liner!

So, what thickness works OK for majority of theft protection? I'm looking at the Titanker bike chain @ 8mm & 2.5# (3.3ft) for $17 OR the 4 ft. Krptonite Keeper 712 at 7mm & 3.7# for $34. How many here have lost an ebike using these thickness of chains?? Prices at Amazon.

Thanks for the recomendations. Thinking of the Pro Bike pump w/guage, $30 at Amazon. And debating between the Titanker bike chain 8mm at $17 & 2.5#(3.3ft) or the Krptonite Keeper 712 which is 7mm & 48" @ 3.7# for $34. Have heard good things about putting Slime in the tires to seal...

Just ordered Aventon Pace 500 ebike. Debating between a smaller trunk bag on bike rack to carry tire pump (need recomendation for up to 50psi), which size slime can (tubed 27.5x2.2 tires), what size trunk bag to carry those items plus small lunch, jacket, cell phone, maybe another water...

I'd like to do a short test ride on the mid-frame step thru 500 before I buy. I'm on the coast this week (Lincoln city to Tillimook, and back home in Central Oregon after 8/20. anyone in this area have a step thru 500 I could see & short ride?? Second question, I'm 5'11" and wanting to know...

Both are close in price and weight. Pros for Medeo is Bosch active line+ motor with higher torque (50nm vs 40nm trek), suspension fork, chain cover and comes in a larger frame for my 5'11". Con is frame flex & fender rattle per Court's review. Pros for Trek is slightly lower price and...

Since there's a lot of discussion of the various ebike classes here, has anyone with a Aventon Pace 500 class 3 bike been prevented from riding on any bike trails anywhere in the country?? Does anyone even check? Is stricter enforcement coming?

I'm 5'11" and interested in both the 350 and 500 in a step thru, which only comes in mid-frame size. Any other taller folks that have been happy with their mid size step thru??

So, if my first ebike is an Aventon Pace 500 (class 3), are there many bike/rail trails around the country I won't be able to ride on, or just a few? for those that travel with class 3 ebikes, have you ever been stopped on a trail to even have your bike checked for class?? Just wondering.

For downtube battery locations, a blend-in type cover when battery is removed would make the bike look like a regular bike instead of an ebike, making them a smaller target for theft. If all of us bug the manufacturers for battery covers, maybe that might come to pass eventually?

Question: Does the Pace 500 say class 3 anywhere on the frame?? If so, are their many bike trails in the country that forbid class 3 ebikes, and if so, how often does anyone check that?? Are there also trails that forbid class 2 ebikes??

A follow up question would be if transport ebike outside on a bike rack (behind travel trailer in my case) with the battery in place for months at a time, how much would that shorten the life of a 400wh or 500wh battery?? I'm going to get a cover for the bike, but not convinced that would...

Thinking there should be some sort of weather protected plate that covers the battery contact points when the battery is removed?? Do any brands offer that? I keep hearing that batteries will last longer if removed when too cold or too hot or when being transported on a bike rack, but then...

Is it possible to swap the Pace 500 constant voltage controller with a constant power controller?? Hope Aventon will consider this down the road, along with puncture resistance tires and a suspension front fork.

Without question, direct drive hub motors are the most reliable. Question: I've heard that the drag/resistance in pedal only mode is the least on geared hub motors? do direct drive hub & mid drive motors have noticeably more drag or not??
