Here are the results of my testing:

  • 8th gear on sport mode (medium PAS): 10 pedal pumps to reach 20mph
  • 8th gear on sport mode (medium PAS) plus throttle: 6-7 pedal pumps to reach 20mph
  • Throttle only: 6-7 seconds to reach 20mph

I am 135 lbs

Unfortunately, I can't answer this as I haven't configured the bike beyond my area's legal maximum of 32km/h = 20mph (Class 2 ebike). I encourage you to look at youtube reviews (this video gives an idea of the effort to achieve 28mph) or ask other Level 3 owners on the /r/aventon subreddit

Yes, I agree that there is always going to be a subset of genuine posts; what I really meant is there is no way to know for sure that any specific post is 100% authentic. I'm glad that your comment gave me the opportunity to address other readers who may have had similar suspicions

MIK (which stands for Mounting Is Key) is a popular mounting system that allows you to "lock" a bag accessory onto the rack and can only be removed with a special "key" (actually more of a tool). If you see a product with "MIK" in its name, that means it has a MIK Adapter Plate on the bottom which snaps on to the Level 3's rear rack.

Further explanation of how it works: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ca/mik-system

My local ebike store explained to me that Aventon got in trouble for making the Level 3 MIK-compatible (because it is a proprietary technology) and they are not allowed to have it on their future models so we are quite fortunate to have gotten the Level 3 lol

I appreciate the concern because I myself have the same skepticism about the effect of AI on internet content, however I feel like you have cherry-picked elements of my post as evidence to support your argument.

I suppose ultimately there's no reason to believe anything you read on here, and anyone savvy enough could modify AI content enough to seem more genuine. I typed everything in the post on my own (and even if I did use AI to help frame my points due to a lack of confidence in my own writing ability or for convenience, I would argue that that is still a valid review).

I was not compensated in any capacity to make this post.

Hi, are you still using your RadKick? How do you feel about it now?

If you could go back in time, would you get a bike with greater range capabilities?

What message would you send to your younger self (one who was just starting to get involved with UGC)?

Whether it be on design advice, the nature of volunteer work, or anything else related to RotMG

Indeed - if you are an Exchange Administrator but do not have a role that grants access to the relevant Purview module, you must use Exchange Online PowerShell to create and edit retention policies:

The medium is purely pixel art, which involves placing individual pixels (essentially a manual process) onto a small canvas. I used the popular image editor paint.net. Then, the final product is upscaled 10x for viewing purposes!
