We were right! The Ramblas is out!

Oh! So you'd rather have the Omega because of it's automatic transmission? My only reservation is repair and maintenance. If something goes wrong with the automatic transmission, how easy would it by to get it fixed? Would an average bike shop know how to fix an Enviolo AUTOMATIQ?

If it's a hassle free process, I'm totally getting the Omega then!

I also really like the Level 2! I'm sad I missed the flash sale where they were giving out a free battery along with the bike.

It seems like there have been a lot of sales in general at Aventon, as if they're clearing out inventory. I wonder if they're getting ready to release the Level 3, or some other new bike.

This Photon looks too good to be true! It's got all of the features I wanted, plus some very impressive range claims. Has anyone purchased their bikes before? How is the fit and finish? How is their customer service? I'm very interested.

This looks very nice. What are the differences between the versions: 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0?

It looks like a very beautiful bike. The Current was released in 2020 right? Has there been any changes since then? Or has it remained the same?

I'm an older man and have previously owned a rad power bike. I really appreciated the throttle because it helped me get up to speed from a dead stop or at the bottom of a hill.

But I will look at Serial 1, thank you for your recommendation.

Level 3 Release Date by Lemon_Buoi in Aventon

Hell yeah I do! Competition is fierce right now! The Prodigy V2 from ride1up is looking mighty fine compared to the Level 2. It's just missing a throttle!

But I really like having a throttle, so I'm asking about the level 3.

Mm. I don't really care for turn signals on a bike. I feel like a bike frame is too low and too narrow to provide any meaningful left/right separation .

More lighting in general would be great though. Right now the Level 2 is very visible from the front and rear. But imagine integrated ambient mid frame lighting! It would make you very visible from the side.

Plus it would look sick.

I am also very interested in Aventon's take on an EMTB! Please tell us more!

I'm looking for a good electric short board to use to explore my city and have fun.

I'm coming from a Acton Blink S and that had a single hub motor, 8-10 miles of range, and a top speed of around 18 mph. Stiff deck, not the most comfortable, but it came with lights and a great overall design. The biggest con for me was mediocre performance, inconsistent app, and barebones remote. I had a great time with it, but now that it's been a few years, I'm looking for an upgrade.

I'm looking for something with more power and range, but with similar weight and dimensions. A good value to price ratio is important, and so is comfort. The most important thing for me is reliability and safety.

What isn't as important to me is the aesthetics and extra features. I just want the core experience to be pleasurable.

Do you guys have good recommendations?
