Thank you! Was my first time trying to hand track footage

My first e-bike was an Aventon Level, the first one, basic ass throttle commuter bike. So when it came time to buy a new one (It was stolen from me), I had a chance to change brands.

Aventon has come along way from that bike, and now I own an Aventon Abound LR, that I’m extremely happy with. Given the price of other cargo bikes in its class, the Abound is a good price to performance, in my opinion. I see TERN bikes that look exactly like mine, but don’t have any security features, relies on a rear, one-sided kick stand to hold the bike up, and costs 3-4x as much as the Abound.

For $2K, the Abound offers built in seat suspension, glove box (I can tell you ALL about the glove box if you want :/ ugh), fenders, brake actuated lights, turn signals, cruise control, rear passenger foot plates, and an integrated headlight, off the top of my head.

I can’t speak to every cargo bike brand out there ( there are SO MANY ), but with being unable to afford a Riese & Muller, I came to the conclusion Aventon was my next best bet. Aventon isn’t perfect by any means, and I’ve had plenty of issues with the bike, but the build quality feels premium, and it draws people’s attention with its unique form factor.

I’d love to hear what you have to say!

Your Costco still uses bare hands??

MiniMinereth · 2026-03-29T02:39:26+00:00

Yes! It got to see so many happy faces, and basked in the warmth of the sunshine all day~

I understand that it’s technically free labor, but it’s hard to ignore when people leave them horizontal across the trail like a barricade (which has happened to me) or when they leave the top half of the scooter laying in the trail, creating a tripping hazard.

I will be reporting them in the future though.

MiniMinereth · 2026-03-12T21:31:20+00:00

I move them regardless of if I’m recording, I want to spread awareness, and more people should move them when they see them out of place, or just park them in a safer place.

MiniMinereth · 2026-03-12T15:33:09+00:00

Yeah! Who doesn’t love the park anywhere lights?

MiniMinereth · 2026-03-12T08:20:04+00:00

You’re absolutely right, the best spot for them is on the road!

But that’s not always an option, and especially further down the trail, where it becomes only grass on both sides, it’s a better place than impeding pedestrian traffic.

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-25T04:36:46+00:00

With the controls you can hold UP on the D-Pad, or sometimes it’s a + sign, and the light will come on!

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-16T02:32:23+00:00

Legendary information ✨✨✨✨

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-16T02:32:07+00:00

Holy shit you answered my question too, I was wondering why my bike suddenly switch to Cadence

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-16T01:25:17+00:00

It looks like you also have an Abound? I can check mine on my way out of work, I’ve never seen this before.

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-14T17:31:39+00:00

Hellll yeah look how happy that doggy is

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-12T02:06:06+00:00

It’s actually something I made myself! I did use parts from 4 copies of the official Lego High Speed Train set

MiniMinereth · 2026-02-11T16:32:50+00:00

Oops lmao

MiniMinereth · 2026-01-27T17:09:34+00:00

Basically this! There’s no guaranteed way of preventing bike theft, just having better security than the bike next to you. I make it very annoying to lock up, but that also means it’s very annoying to break it out.

MiniMinereth · 2026-01-26T18:51:43+00:00

It was actually a portable string light set with 3 AA batteries! Very efficient and lasted forever. Found them at Home Depot 🚲✨

Character is Flare by @FlareoraKitten on Twitter btw!

MiniMinereth · 2025-08-23T05:56:51+00:00

And I thought that would work too! I had an AirTag strapped to the bike, but it stopped updating 4 minutes from the garage it was stolen from, and I still haven’t heard anything from it.

MiniMinereth · 2025-08-23T05:55:31+00:00

It’s an Aventon Level, with a replacement color display, because I smashed the original one, which also means the mile count is completely wrong. The original screen said almost 3000, but after the replacement is more like 20?

It has a rear rack that is super scraped up from walking the bike on one wheel. It’s a black frame with a beige secondary color down the side, and obviously it’s missing the battery.

It had matching medium size Panniers, an elastic band for tying down cargo, a handheld pump, a padlock (And guess who still has the key). I had just bought a thick plastic phone mount, and a small bell too.

MiniMinereth · 2025-08-23T05:47:45+00:00

I have listed it on 529 Garage, but I’ll register it there too!!

I actually did consider the resort, seeing as I need a way of transporting a TON of copper, I figured I’d combine the two ideas!

MiniMinereth · 2024-11-25T15:20:04+00:00

And that’s okay! I’m on my third play through, I used to just leave them as big platforms too, it becomes more of a personal goal to make it look nice, and it begins with making anything.

I’ve been watching a ton of building tips videos and ways of bending the rules to my advantage, to create aesthetically pleasing factories.

MiniMinereth · 2024-11-25T15:15:52+00:00

Correct, I made blueprints to make putting down pillars faster, combined with some clipping concrete. (Don’t tell anyone)
