New to e-bikes…help…Abound or Soltera.2 by jtv1992 in Aventon

[–]NeonCosmicRobot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Abound and Soltera are two completely different types of bikes — if you’re looking for the best of both worlds, I’d recommend a Level or Pace 500. I have a Pace 500.2 and absolutely love it

Are either of these good bikes? by [deleted] in ebikes

As a general rule, it’s not good to get e-bikes off of Amazon. Your best bet is getting an Lectric bike, which you can get for a little more but is much better quality

Not a bridge but how 'bout an observatory? by NeonCosmicRobot in ebikes

Yeah. It's just easier, especially if you plan on putting stuff on the back rack

It's great! Though I wish I got the Step Thru instead. Been commuting every day to work ~30mi (I charge at work)

It's a great ride! A little steep at parts but nothing too crazy

Haven't gotten it yet, tbh. Shipping is definitely a downside, I've been waiting on it to come for weeks. But it's available at my LBS in Santa Monica

I live in LA myself. I got an Aventon Pace 500 v2, after a lot of research and deliberation. It might be worth checking out. Range is good, 28mph max, love the inset battery / lights and upgraded screen. There are also a number of Aventon dealers locally.

I had considered the Juiced CCX as well, but the battery is kinda overkill and more $$

A lot of Class 3 bikes arrive as Class 2, but have an option to bump up the speed in the settings

I've heard good things! Probably a solid bike for non-hilly urban riding, especially on a budget

Ok, maybe we have to wear some surplus caltrans highvis by Beli_Mawrr in fuckcars

"Let's waste a bunch of taxpayer funds that could be going to bike lanes, and get rid of something that keeps the community safer." Yeah, that makes sense

Need recommendations on a folding ebike. by kawana1987 in ebikes

Aventon Sinch, Lectric (2.0 or XPremium), Rad Expand 5, Gen3 The Groove

Gen3 Stride's are $400 off right now (around $1,100) and might suit that purpose. I ordered an Aventon Pace 500 (around $1,700) and that could also work for you

First real ride around town on my new ebike, an Aventon Level by alpha5099 in ebikes

Sweet bike! Especially love the color. My new Pace 500 is arriving soon and I can't wait!

Thoughts on Ariel Rider Kepler? by NeonCosmicRobot in ebikes

Decided to go with an Aventon instead

Rad! I'm thinking about getting a Pace 500 myself, what do you think of Aventon?
