The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

[PedalUma]

Most bikes sold retail in California can be unlocked just by pushing a sequence of buttons on the display. Not the new Aventon Abound Short Rack (SR) cargo bike that has a bunch of smart features and comes in (purple) Haze metallic. I am part way through building one and just purchased electro-plate rainbow/oil slick pedals and a matching chain for it that arrive tomorrow. I will have those on before my boss comes in on Tuesday and won't say a thing. I am now glad that I did not finish the build as planned, so can now do these details. I did five guided demo rides yesterday and sold five bikes which took away from my build and service time. The quality of this bike is so very much better than bikes of just two years ago. For example, there are no weld marks, touch a button with a code and the dual kickstand locks down, disabling the bike.
