    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    The best way to make a decision is to ride these bikes in the conditions that I normally ride. The frustrating part is I go to the LBS and they tell me to ride it around the parking lot or just around the block. Pretty hard to tell how the bike is going to perform for me. I guess it just need...

    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    Just got on their website. The chat box popped up so I started asking questions. Turned out it was the owner. Had a great talk with him. Thanks for the referral.

    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    I love riding my Pace 500 and have put 4,000 miles on it this past year. However, it's frequently down for repairs. I only ride on paved trails but have had a cracked rear rim, broken spokes, motor went out on me, constant weird noised (scraping / rubbing sounds, popping noises, etc). I have...

    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    Thanks for the great input. I think you've hit on my dilemma. My Aventon is an off-brand with inferior components and I would love to upgrade to something more reliable. I really like the way it rides when it is not in the shop, waiting on parts or making noises like it's going to die. My...

    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    Thanks for the great suggestions. I will check them all out. Yes, I don’t mind buying from an online retailer but really want to try it first before making the investment. When I bought the Aventon, I was able to ride one while visiting in CA. I also need to do a better job investigating...

    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    Oops ... knew there was something I forgot to include. I'd like to keep it under $4,000 but would be willing to go a little higher for the right bike. It's a lot of money but it is keeping me healthy and I really enjoy it so it's worth every penny. Thank you.

    Want a second ebike ... need some advice.

    Hi Court - I've read so many of your reviews and hope to get your expert advice on my situation. One year ago, I purchased my first ebike ... an Avention Pace 500. I bought it as a retirement present as I planned on riding everyday for my exercise. Since then I've put over 4,000 miles on it...

    Single gear vs multiple gears

    I will check out both of those bikes. Hopefully I can find a dealer where I can test them out. Really want to ride before I buy. Thank you!!

    Single gear vs multiple gears

    I just retired so I am looking for something that I can ride every day for exercise. There are some hills around here so that is the attraction for an ebike. I rode the Pace 500 and really liked it. I want an upright position as I’ve had neck surgery before and it’s uncomfortable to be...

    Single gear vs multiple gears

    I am looking to buy my first ebike and I’ve narrowed my search to the Aventon Pace 500 and the Electric Bike Company Model C. The EBC bike is a single gear and I’ve been told you don’t really need multiple gears when you have multiple levels of assist. Plus, they say it’s fewer things that can...
