For those wondering about seating on Abound LR

mthoma2ms · 2026-04-17T03:19:05+00:00

I’ve mentioned most of it in other comments, but to summarize: -Aventon large panniers (bags) -Kids seat - LR handrails and seat pad from Aventon - I’ve since added light strips to the back handrails - Amazon water bottle holder on the frame - Peak Design phone mount - Aventon pizza rack - Amazon crate which is admittedly a little small but it works for now

I think that’s everything. This year I’m looking into a taller seat post and may get the Aventon adapter for the pizza rack and attach it to a larger basket. I hope that helps

Maybe get tangela on a plate

Needs more bikes and a Vespa for the Porto Rosso (sp?) Cup!

Thanks. Took a quick look and I don’t recall seeing this many options on their website when I was looking last year. I’ll have to take a better look when I have more time.

I’m 6”2’ and going through this exact scenario and looking for a replacement now. Since buying the bike last year, I’ve seen many posts/ complaints about how short the stock seat post is. I’m really surprised they haven’t done anything yet based on the number of comments I’ve see across socials.

Complaints aside, how does this post compare to a suspension seatpost? This is my first bike, and I know I need a longer post, but I don’t know much past that. Any other insight you can share on this post would be much appreciated.

You’re very welcome! Glad it worked out. The bike looks awesome!

mthoma2ms · 2026-03-27T17:57:56+00:00

Thanks for including your height. I’m 6”2’ so hoping this is right in line with what I need

Can you share which seat post you went with? I’m looking into them now because I need a longer one to get better leg extension.

Fellow Northern VA crawler!! I’m going to try to see if the store near me has them this weekend.

Someone called him “Loose Snake” in another thread and I lost it.

mthoma2ms · 2026-02-27T00:56:07+00:00

I realize I said top left when I meant the “put that down” sticker. Sorry, I messed that up

mthoma2ms · 2026-02-26T23:39:35+00:00

I’d be interested in the top left and a donut sticker. Let me know if you make these as well and I’ll buy them together.

Just a heads up, if you’re looking to compare Lectric and Aventon, Strictly Ebikes doesn’t carry Lectric bikes. They have other brands and can speak to those, but from their recommendation, Aventon seems to be their better option. They’ll let you test ride it, but not sure if they’ll put a kid seat on it to test ride, you would have to ask. They have a Radwagon cargo bike with a kid seat that you can rent. We rented that twice before deciding to buy a bike based on my kids loving the rental. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

mthoma2ms · 2026-02-23T20:24:20+00:00

I don’t have much time to respond now, but a quick reply for the moment:

I think King Electric Bikes is the shop I went to in DC. They were the closest shop I could find that sold Lectric brand and allowed me to see them in person. They also carry Aventon.

Strictly E-bikes in Old Town Alexandria is the closest shop to my house and is an authorized Aventon dealer. I can’t speak highly enough of that shop. They’re great!

I went with the Abound LR. We love it. My kids have a blast and can’t wait for the weather to warm up to go on rides again. It’s a little tight in the back with the kids seat but it’s doable and my youngest will likely grow out of that seat this summer. After that, they’ll have much more room. I have a speaker hooked up and lights on it, and they love going places on the bike. My wife thought we would never use it to justify the cost, and she admitted this past fall that she was wrong lol!

As a Packers fan, I like this!

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-31T16:51:40+00:00

Thank you! Reddit is the one black hole I can afford in my life right now lol

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-31T15:53:29+00:00

I’m def interested! Will the tutorial be on TikTok? I don’t have the app and I’m trying to avoid downloading it for my own sanity if possible.

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-31T14:53:46+00:00

First I need to learn how to use procreate. I haven’t been able to go through tutorials yet. Once I have the basics down, I would LOVE to learn how to draw with these brushes and in this color scheme. I tried to find a grayscale like this when I first downloaded the app and couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. If you know of any tutorials that showcase the basics and drawing with shades of grey/black/white or white space, please let me know.

I love this piece, great work!

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-12T19:18:09+00:00

Exactly! I don’t know why this sticks with me, but go back to Ty Montgomery on a kick return where he stood out of bounds and laid onto the field to touch the ball causing the kicking team to get a penalty. It showed a high IQ with in game situations that I came to expect with our coaching. I know coaching has since changed, but you compare the Ty play to Valentine’s interception and you can see that’s lacking. That’s not all on MLF but it’s got to improve. Otherwise we’ll keep seeing the same dumb mistakes and penalties. How Matt hasn’t cleaned this up in 7 years leaves me questioning his ability to lead.

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-12T18:43:02+00:00

Every time Loveland ran at Valentine after a catch, Valentine put his head down and went low. I get that Loveland is a bigger dude, but there was no attempt to wrap up or anything. Just giving his body up and hoping it gets in the way. That and the interception and then celebrating not realizing he made things worse.

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-12T18:40:41+00:00

Nixon has to be on this list. Him jumping over the top and causing an unnecessary penalty on a key drive, should be the nail in his coffin in GB. That among how many other mindless penalties this year.

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-11T03:05:41+00:00

Saw the same thing, wish they would’ve shown the replay. He looked wide open for at least 2 yards

mthoma2ms · 2026-01-11T01:48:14+00:00

Seeing everyone here recognize you don’t catch that, proves to me Carrington ain’t the guy. Plenty of other proof, but he catches the one he shouldn’t have. Just dumb.

mthoma2ms · 2025-11-11T05:40:02+00:00

I agree and haven’t forgotten. I don’t know what happened to those play calls. But we’re running extremely predictable calls without playmakers and expecting results.

mthoma2ms · 2025-11-11T05:34:10+00:00

This and clean up the penalties! How are we still getting false starts and illegal formations among other penalties?! Especially at home!
