Glad she is really enjoying the new purchase. It's a very rider-friendly bike that costs a little more than some of the entry level bikes, but if you step back and look at the whole range of pricing,...

Well, I've *almost* bought an e-bike for a couple of years now. But I finally went and did it. I am 63yo and seriously out of shape (6ft, 270lb), plus I have some joint issues in my neck and wrists...

Test riding seems like a good idea - I have been mulling my first e-bike for awhile, and don't want to spend too much - less than $2,500 anyway. I see that while most moderately priced e-bikes are...

That is just what I am looking for! :-) I am not in good shape now and have some joint issues too. But I am not looking at an e-bike as a lightweight electric motorcycle to buzz around at 25mph under...

Hi 2old - from what I have seen, the BBS02B kits with battery, controller, display, gear shift sensor, etc are running some $1,100-$1,300 by themselves. I haven't seen any other e-bikes with similar...

Aventon Pace 500
