Since we are all into cool tech, I figured that I would see if others here have entered into what is becoming the E-bike craze. I have always been a very avid bicycle rider for the purposes of recreation and exercise, and when I started hearing about and researching E-bikes, I just could not let it go.
The bike that I purchased is the Aventon Level : Aventon Level Commuter Electric Bike. I did a fair amount of research prior to making this purchase, and it seemed like the one for me. At 6'2", I ordered the LG frame and 'Throttle on Demand' option, which is a new offering on this model as of 03/01/2021. The prior model required a bit of peddle movement to allow for throttle response, and now they offer a model that does not require peddle input at all. In reality, it will probably be only the Peddle Assist (maybe Level 1 or sometimes 2) that I will mainly use, but I can see situations arising where it would be nice to simply apply throttle from a full stop without peddling in order to move forward. This prior limitation was also a huge topic of discussion on E-bike forums (or maybe a complaint), and it seems Aventon listened and responded with this update.
It will be a month or so before I receive the bike and will be able to use and review it, so don't run out and buy one unless you're willing to take a chance like me. I'll follow up though, and let you all know what I think.
