Thanks for the replies everyone, I am going to look into this as an option. I want a fast commute, for ref I just biked to work 18mi on a fixie in Portland, OR and then back in the evening (b/c I am babying my Trek Madone and do not want to go trudging through the downtown streets). Ha. That...

Hello community! I am about to purchase an Aventon Level after months of research on the best bike for the price. I have a perhaps silly question, but could I swap the 500W stock for a higher grade, say 1000W or even higher? That being said, will the bike frame, motor etc be able to handle...

Thanks, that MXS looks great, but it is even heavier than the Aventon. Haha. Cheers to one day having lighter bikes, right?! :P Good point Ebiker01, thanks! I really like the Level, just the weight of carrying up/down stairs. I am fit dude, but everyday that will be a strain, on the shoulders...

Interesting, I will really have to take this avenue some thought as opposed to purchasing from a brand.

Thanks for the continued advice. It can be flipped. I have a front brake and can easily install a back brake, but you are right, I would want gears to make this a more reliable ride. I like that, 45lbs is much more tolerable than 60. I could make this all into a class 3 you would estimate? I...

Thanks for the tips there! Would you recommend, given your experience, ever running with a kit on a fixie/single-speed? This is my current fixie > https://www.purecycles.com/products/original-fixed-gear-bike Or should I just find another bike to try this out with?

Mid-drive is so much better, but I will probably have to settle with a hub as my expertise in this area is null. Torque would be preferable, but cadence might be cheaper? Would be nice to have a cassette v a free wheel though since I will be cranking up and down hills. So I gotta find an...

Thanks for RunForTheHills I am going to do a bit more research on the DIY route still. Just worried about it, but if it is intuitive enough I will try it out!

Thanks everyone for the support and recommendations! I would like to, but I am a little hesitant at installing this gear myself though. I know a regular bike and how to repair that, but the computer aspect (integrating with motor and what not) of this is going to be a headache to install and...

Hello - I am on the cusp of purchasing my first electric bike. (I own four regular bikes, but my commute is a drag even for my Trek Madone). That being said there are so many options out there I'm having a difficult time choosing. My budget permits me up to $1,800. I need this bike for a tough...
