    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    23 miles with 2 bars left isn't too bad considering the battery size. I charge it every other day too make sure I don't get stuck with a dead battery. But we even then, pedaling without battery is ok on flat streets. Also, I swapped my grips for a pair I had laying around and much better. But I...

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    I've also been thinking about a rack so if anyone goes that route, please let us know! Also, I heard back from Espin (they reply fast!) and there is no odometer function as we suspected. Oh well.

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    I'll probably go with same route and use a fitness app on the phone to track the mileage. I am going to contact Espin though to make sure I am not missing something in the display settings that allows for mileage tracking. Regarding the fenders: I purchased the SKS Velo 42 fenders along with...

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Hi everyone, So I finally got a chance to commute to work on the Aero this morning. My commute is about 6 miles each way, fairly flat roads, but plenty of potholes and uneven pavement. Overall, VERY happy with the Aero. Some comments below: - First off, it actually looks great. The finish (I...

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I figured it would be OK but I guess I was overthinking things :)

    30.9mm seatpost in a 30.8mm seat tube

    Ok, so my new bike has a 30.8mm seat tube but I already have a 30.9mm suspension seatpost from a previous bike. I test fitted and the 30.9mm slipped right in. I'm guessing that it is ok to use, correct? Or is there something that I should be concerned about? A 0.01mm difference isn't much but...

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Received both Aeros and assembled. Much lighter than previous e-bike. Still have to take them out for a spin. Assembly was fairly straightforward and thankfully the quick release wheel stems were included. The seats definitely do not have any springs. Has anyone reached out to espin about that...

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Awesome! Thanks for the ride update. Can't wait to assemble mine and get some ride time in. I was hoping that it would be easy to ride without assist and it seems like that is the case. So if battery does run out during a trip, I can still pedal back home if needed :)

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    I'll email Espin about this fender mounts. Still weird that only the rear has a fender mount. But oh well. Thanks. I likely will also need an extra charger so this is great! And very reasonably priced... greatly appreciate it!

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Interesting... so the rear has a fender mount but not the front. I wonder why they did that?

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Thanks for all the info. I'll have to grab a couple of these quick release skewers. Did Espin mention anything about the lack of seat springs? That green does look nice! Also, are there any pre-drilled fender mounts? (Front and rear) And are you planning to add fenders?

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Looking at pics of the Aero, it seems like the saddle should have springs. There is no mention of the quick release axle on the website. I'm surprised that the included axle doesn't hold the wheel securely though. Please keep us posted when you hear back from Espin. My delivery was pushed back...

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    @Bubsdaddy - any chance you're planning to add fenders? I can't seem to find any pics that clearly show whether or not there are fender mounted pre-drilled. Thanks in advance. Also, my delivery got pushed back to Wednesday.

    Espin Aero... any firsthand feedback?

    Same... received email and should be arriving Saturday. I likely won't be able to put them together for at least 2 weeks but keep us posted on how that goes. And if you identify any tips and tricks while assembling the bikes, definitely let us know! Thanks.

    Decisions decisions... Feedback on the best ebike for my use :)

    There was some type of flash sale in early January when the price dropped to $499. I couldn't pass up on that.

    Decisions decisions... Feedback on the best ebike for my use :)

    I ended up ordering the Espin Aero (actually two... one for the better half as well). I couldn't pass up on the $499 sale that popped up. Expected delivery sometime next month so I'll keep you updated. My much info on the Aero out there either but took the plunge. Fingers crossed.

    Thanks the replies to the questions. Regarding the sizes, do you have a sizing chart? I am trying to figure out what size would be best for me (~5'10").
