Just ordered the Aventon Aventure step through E-Bike. Got lots of good reviews and more importantly it was in stock to ship....at least that's what they said last week....lol

 

They gave a 5% discount through Govx so saved almost $100 there and they said (as many have) that the price was going up in September because shipping and parts have gone up.

 

I am looking forward to getting it and hoping to use it to gain access to hard to reach places for photography!

 

Also have a front hitch receiver coming for the F250. Install on that looks pretty easy, just bolts and muscle, which I'll hunt up...lol

The bike is 73 lbs so taking it on and off to get into the camper would be a pain. Will update as things occur :)

Very nice!  Let us know how it does for you!  I’ve thought about one, too.

Love my eBike! We have mid-drive bikes, but from everything I've read, Aventon's are a great value!

Well tracking says I'm going to get this thing Friday. If I do that's 6 days from order to delivery and I ordered on a Saturday.... Hard to believe when so many other bikes are months out! 

More to come!

My wife and I have had the Aventon Level for about 3 months, we've been riding them everywhere.  The battery life is as advertised, it is a good value IMO.

Well it's here! Not so bad to put together. Ran it on the street to test it out. Got up to 28mph! It's definitely got some get up and go. On power assist 1 it is much more tame :) Now I need a beach to try it out on!

 

BTW they gave me 5% off with Govx id. Prices going up in September because of everything else going up.... All the bikes but this one was actually available over the other one I was interested in. That one was months behind.....

Got an update. After having a few wonderful minutes on the bike, I parked it in the living room and charged the battery. Well that did not go so well. Started out fine but within the hour the charger got really hot and a blue light came on in the battery.

 

Could not find out any info on what the blue light was but when the charger hit 166 degrees it got unplugged! The battery never got warm so not sure what's going on but have emailed Aventon.

 

With the time difference I will likely not hear from them til late morning. (East Coast). Based on what I have heard I am hoping for a quick resolution. Will keep you all apprised :)

 

It was fun to ride though!
