My fiance and I just got Aventon Pace 500s last month and love them. I live in a very bike friendly city so it's largely replaced my car. There's was some discussion of car racks a few pages back, are there any specific recommendations for something that can handle a pair of 60lb bikes? Would it be safe to use a 4-bike rack as long as the rack's total capacity exceeds the bikes' weight?

Do torque sensors offer any material benefits over Cadence sensors if I don't have any specific issues with the latter?

I've had the Aventure 2 for about a month now, and I love it to bits. I don't have a functioning car at the moment and I commute with it daily. It's my first torque sensor bike, and while I think those aren't the gamechanger they're hyped to be, they are very nice. I basically never change the gear or assist levels because it's so adaptable. And for how big the tires are, it handles much better than I expected. It's certainly not as nimble as the Pace 500.2 I had before, but it's still plenty responsive. Plus I get to roll right over anything in my path and feel like I'm in a monster truck.  The rack really sucks though, it has beveled rails and is really more of a frame that has too much emptry space to secure much to it. As luck would have it my old Topeak rack fit just fine on the Aventure, so that was an easy fix.

evil_bunnY posted:Try not to charge them to 100% or discharge them to zero. REALLY try to not charge them below 15C. Is that for general use, or only prior to long term storage? All of the Aventon manuals say to charge your battery to full after every single ride.

Invalido posted:Both. Unless Aventon supplies a charger that cuts off before what is actually fully charged battery cells that is real lovely advice. Only charge fully if you actually need the juice. Charge early, charge often, but don't charge fully is the gist of it. And manage temperatures as best you can. Makes sense, thanks.  My bike lives in my apartment so temps shouldn't be a concern.

I put 450 miles on my Pace 500.2 before trading it in for an aventure 2. It was a really fantastic bike and if I didn't need something that can handle heavy snow I'd probably still have it.

The rear rim on my fiance's Aventon Abound is bent and keeps breaking spokes. We're having a really hard time finding a compatible replacement, can anyone recommend one?

My fiance has one. We had to RMA the rear wheel because spokes ketp breaking, but it's worked great since then.

I just hit 1350 miles on my Aventure 2 and it's showing no signs of stopping. It owns, ebikes own. Aventon put out a new model recently, it's apparently a midshaft drive, waterproof e-mountain bike. Really hoping this is the start of mid drives becoming more common at lower price points because I want one on my next bike.

The Pace is a little lighter and a great all around bike if you mostly ride on pavement, but iirc it's still 50lbs or so. It's hard to get much lighter than that with an Ebike.

Sentient Data posted:I know we were just talking about weight but kryptonite chains are really nice and having an ebike motor removes the lock's weight downside when riding. I use an evolution with mine, the anti theft policy would cover the pace's value anywhere except if parked in nyc. That's what I went with. It can loop around itself so you can tether the bike to a post without needing to be right next to it. Well worth having to grapple with a 15lb lock and chain

Mostly I just want a mid-shaft drive because change a wheel with a hub motor on it is a bitch and a half.

monsterzero posted:Yeah, it sucks but I’ve only had to do it once in 20-months of commuting. Well, tires specifically. I don't have a car so I have to use studded tires during the winter.
