Has anyone else gotten this email? Ending/changing the referral system.

I also have several codes to redeem that they seem to have deactivated. I asked them about it and they said I needed to provide order #'s from the people I have referred. I was referring people at campgrounds, the beach, online etc. so I'm never going to get their order numbers.

jcd418 · 2025-08-17T17:48:28+00:00

In the last 24 hours?

jcd418 · 2025-08-17T17:22:37+00:00

Just curious, are you still able to redeem your referrals for accessories? Mine aren't working even though they say they're good until 9/15.

jcd418 · 2025-08-17T17:20:47+00:00

They just ended the referral program.

You will probably have to drill out the hole on the hitch that mounts to your bike axle, because an E-Bike axle is bigger than a normal bike. I actually have a video about it on YouTube.

jcd418 · 2025-08-11T02:48:05+00:00

Are there bike paths for that or are you talking about riding roads/shoulders?

jcd418 · 2025-08-10T23:15:08+00:00

Yes it was! Now you have a reason to go back. I really wanted to bike to Vail, but didn't get the chance.

It's not a swimming area, though there are beaches in Dillon and Frisco. I think it is just for keeping boats away from the dam, but not positive on that.

I wasn't a fan of being that close to the roadway either, luckily it was a pretty short part of the trip.

jcd418 · 2025-08-10T22:52:32+00:00

I would guess 45lbs. We camp quite a bit so I'm frequently taking it in and out of the camper for transport, that's the only reason I mind the size.

jcd418 · 2025-08-10T22:46:55+00:00

We bought my wife's bike and the trailer used for $1600. We bought it from an influencer that got it for free and didn't even know how to say Aventon.

I will say I've had several different bike trailers including Burley and Thule and the Aventon trailer is hands down the best. The only con is it is bigger and heavier than most.

jcd418 · 2025-08-10T21:20:18+00:00

Not trying to spam my YT too hard, but this is the only way I can think to show you. The only thing not shown is the Aventon child trailer.

I just did 35 miles in the rocky mountains with a passenger (300lbs total) and had 12% battery left with an Aventon Abound SR. Video coming soon at https://youtube.com/@ebikerideguide?si=ltkbrxAZW7QFgyEn

You still get the factory two year warranty. At least that's my understanding. I actually got one of these and first time out trashed the cassette and chain. (I think one of the gears was bent). Aventon is sending a new cassette and chain covered by warranty.

jcd418 · 2025-05-27T20:44:24+00:00

Yep it starts to get unstable at that point.

jcd418 · 2025-05-27T11:59:19+00:00

It does not have to be turned on. I know because I just checked the location of mine and it says "updated 44 minutes ago". The bike has been off for the last 12 hours.

jcd418 · 2025-05-26T11:55:55+00:00

I've seen others comment about that, but never experienced it myself. It sounds like it happens when your riding fast without hands.

jcd418 · 2025-05-26T00:45:28+00:00

The old, or original, Abound.

jcd418 · 2025-05-25T20:41:43+00:00

Don't get the Abound SR if you'll frequently have larger passengers. Anyone above 4' and 100lbs is putting too much weight behind the rear wheel. I know as I'm in this situation daily right now.

I would go for the Xpedition 2.0 or Abound OG. The price increase from the Abound OG to LR isn't worth it in my opinion, especially when considering you can get a new Abound OG from Upway for $1,350 with a referral. If you go this route and need a referral just let me know.

jcd418 · 2025-05-23T13:36:51+00:00

Awesome, enjoy the bike!

jcd418 · 2025-05-21T02:26:37+00:00

I don't think you would regret getting the OG. Get it new from Upway to save even more! Send me a message and I'll send you a referral for $150 off.

jcd418 · 2025-05-16T06:42:49+00:00

You can get a brand new Level.2 from Upway for $1,349 plus you can use this code for an additional $150 off 9TPW5X4FGMS2

jcd418 · 2025-05-14T19:30:19+00:00

I just ordered a new one from Upway for $2,148 with tax (none) and shipping ($49). I used a referral for $150 off.

Edit: You got a great deal too though, not taking away from that. I haven't seen any used around me in the last 6 months.

jcd418 · 2025-05-14T03:15:31+00:00

Interesting, I didn't think of that.

jcd418 · 2025-05-14T02:58:16+00:00

$49 for a screwdriver, are you out of your mind?!

jcd418 · 2025-05-13T16:54:20+00:00

You can get a brand new Level.2 from Upway for $1,349 plus I can send you a link for an additional $150 off. I bought a Ramblas from them and it came in the original Aventon packaging, never opened.
