    Justifiable in New England?

    Hi everybody. I said I'd check back in and well I guess this is that. I'm a fair bit over the 350 mile mark. Riding has definitely slowed down here in MA but I still get the odd day. My most favorite ride is when I can take one or both of my girls for a ride. They're not too keen on the temps...

    Known Issues & Problems with Aventon Products + Help, Solutions, & Fixes

    Thank you a ton, mine seems to be working correctly now! Best I can figure for the key stuck in unlock is for security. That way you can't just walk up to any Aventon Level with any Level battery and just take off. You have to "unlock" the bike and THEN you can o5ut the battery in. Took a bit...

    Thank you so much! Already super helpful. One question, should the key be stuck in the lock if it in the unlocked position?

    That would be so helpful! They're supposed to be sending me a new lock cylinder with instructions but that hasn't come yet. Probably just going to take it apart today

    No luck. Maybe it was the wrong choice of words to say seized. More like...well just plain stuck. Like there's the ever so slightest give in both directions but feels mechanically stopped from moving in either direction.

    Just got my Level. Has anyone experienced the battery lock seizing up? Mine is currently stuck unlocked. I only got about 40 miles on her before this happened :'(

    Just thought I'd let everyone that weighed on here know that I finally pulled the trigger on the Aventon Level. The big points for me on that bike were the higher speed capabilities and the frame size options. It's on preorder now so I'll report back when it comes in! I'm beyond excited.

    This bike caught my eye recently. CSC FT750, they make a 20" wheel model. Also looks like a price point / quality level that is doable on my first ebike. Anyone have experience with these? I expect not too much since I think they're fairly new.

    Justifiable in New England?

    All of these things are also complicated my height. I'm 5' 2" with about a 29" pant leg. So trying to find something that can climb hills, get me to work in a reasonable time, AND that I actually fit on has proven...challenging.

    Justifiable in New England?

    Oh I'm counting on it lol. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who will feel guilty about the cost of my hobbies if they're not in some way "practical". So while I 100% expect this to be a ton of fun when I'm in "leisure mode" (ugh so cringy) if I can justify it with some practicality that...

    Justifiable in New England?

    See part of my internal justification is that I can make this a commuting alternative. I guess I'm still testing whether that pillar of my justification is placed on bed rock or sand right now :/

    Justifiable in New England?

    Hi everyone first time here. I'm in the stage probably a lot of you have been in at some point, deliberation and justification. I think ebikes are absolutely amazing, I've never ridden one but I truly think it's the future of a large percentage of commuting for people. One of my big hangups in...
