    Aventon Controller Modifications

    On my motorcycle, I had a clutch that worked in 1st gear, and could be feathered in if need be.

    Aventon Controller Modifications

    Has anyone replaced the Aventon controller with a KT controller? From what I have read, KT has figured out what Aventon can't or won't. It is also much less expensive, even with buying a new display. I see no reason to pay Aventon for a inferior overpriced replacement controller to make my...

    The best way is to have an Allen key in both sides and turn counter clockwise. G_Money is right in that the little combo tool Allen keys may not be beefy enough for the first time.

    The "B" screw goes into the female screw (call it "B2") on the opposite side. B2 will never move until the B screw is loosened, so don't try (Unless they assembled it backwards - then B won't move until B2 is loosened). There is no reason to move B2 except when installing the stem on the bike...

    The Fomtor angle is mechanically fastened, not a friction fit. It also screws into the fork head as well as clamping it. The Ritchie only clamps. Fomtor is what Aventon uses on their Pace 500 model.

    Hold the stem so the teeth are facing you. Loosen the screw on your left side 1 1/2 turns. Now loosen the screw facing you (above the teeth). This screw holds a small plate, which engages the teeth to lock the stem. You may have to gently lift the plate off a tooth the first time, once you...

    You must live in a really rough part of town if you think you need to secure your handlbars. They will steal your complete bike in 10 seconds before they take the time for the handlebars, which are cheap. I doubt you will have the clearance to install Hexlox anyway. Don't buy stuff you don't...

    Not to worry. The one you need is included with your Aventon tool. You just need to wait patiently for your bike ;-)

    On Amazon there are two Fomtor adjustable stems. I had cable length problems with the 110 mm stem. The 90 mm worked perfectly for me. The # for the 90 mm is https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CKRS6QB

    Pace 500 - be careful at start, especially when also turning

    Hopefully, the minimum assist speed will also be reduced in PAS 1. As it sits now I either have to pedal with no assist or pedal at about 14 mph with PAS1 to get exercise. Nothing option in between. The natural speed of PAS1 is 12 mph.

    Pace 500 - be careful at start, especially when also turning

    Unfortunately, it has cost them a sale. My wife was looking at a Pace 500 or a Level. She decided to wait until I received my Level to decide, as she had only briefly tested the Pace 500. The high rate of acceleration combined with the lowest PAS setting still going 12-13 mph, caused her to...

    Adjustable Stem for Aventon Level?

    Pleased to report that the 90mm stem allows me to go to 60 deg, which is far enough back to make me happy.

    Adjustable Stem for Aventon Level?

    On my Level, I cannot raise the 110 mm stem higher than 40 deg, as the front brake hose is too short. I have now ordered the 90 mm stem. The objective being to both raise up and move back the handlebar. The shorter stem should give me the same height, but allow the bars to come back further...

    Tom, Thank you for your input. My Level arrived today. I bought the Fomtor stem as well. It appears to be similar to the one that Aventon has on the 500. Why it was not included on the Level puzzles me. Now for the next puzzle. There is a small silver piece in a bag with two screws and...
