Why do you think the Sinch was almost a minute faster on the throttle only hill test than the Pace 500.3. Both use 500w rear hub motors and the Pace is significantly lighter?
I own two other Aventon bikes and want to get a Sinch. Does the Sinch battery share the same battery with other Aventon brands? Would be nice to swap between my level 2 or the abound that I own.
As @PumpUptheJam81 mentioned, the mechanical brake thing is just enough of a turn-off for me to wait or buy another brand. And their statement about brake choice is kinda suspect, especially when the direct competitor Lectric figured out how to include hydraulic brakes on their XP Step-Thru 3.0. Also gotta be mindful that Aventon has much higher overhead than the likes of Lectric, which doesn't have those physical location relationships so their cost are likely a lot less just because of that. And to @ElectricBikeReport - if you have any hopes of growing your sub base, better make time to engage with people who leave comments. I see a lot of questions, but a year later not one response. That's pretty bad especially when our time is exponentially more important than yours.
I just got my sinch 2 last week. 1st ever ebike. I'm 5 ft. So I was limited to what ebikes I could choose. But I love my sinch 2. The free new battery is on the way. I paid $1299 as it was $200 off during memorial weekend. I'm 61 yrs old. I'd like to get a front bike rack. Aventons is too small. Any suggestions how to find one at a bike store? Thanks! Happy riding!!
Good evening, I have such a question, I live in the Netherlands, can I order it to be brought here🙏 Maybe there are partners, please help me buy this bike.
Could you use a bungee cord to attach to both wheels to help stay together when folded? Or do you recommend something else? Thank you. I see some ppl put their bike in a tote. Thoughts? Thanks again!!
A bungee could work, but it would need to be small to avoid stretching. Some brands have added velcro straps that work well. The tote thing could work, but it could also be a pain to get inside - plus that's a lot of weight.
i am between this and a magnum premium 3 on sale hmmmm any suggestions? I am 6' 4 just want something to pull the kids around I was on the magnum premium 3 highstep and impressed with the comfort but saw the aventon has 4 inch tires and is about the same price as the magnum however the premium 3 is cadence not torque
They're both good bikes, but I'd recommend the Sinch based on your height. Obviously there will be a big difference in feel between torque and cadence sensors.
Good question, but the answer depends on what matters most to you. The Portola is sized more for shorter riders, and it's also a little better suited to folding and transporting with a lower weight. The Sinch is a bit larger and heavier, and it responds more like an analog bike since it has a torque sensor. Hope that helps!
That 20mph speed cap is going to limit the market for this ebike. The PAS speed results show the bike is capable of more. As far as pinching hydraulic lines, that depends on how they’re routed, especially near the hinges. The internal routing probably makes it more likely.
The PAS on my sinch 2 goes to 25 mph. The owner of the shop where I purchased it changed it for me through his app. I don't want to connect my app because I'm afraid it might kick me back down to 20.
@@markeverett3917 That was nice of your shop to do that for you! I wouldn’t be worried about connecting to your bike through the app on your phone. Once connected, it looks easy to modify the assisted speed cap. But if you don’t need or want the metrics, social media features, and modifying the assisted speed cap is all you wanted to do, I don’t see a need to use the app either. Now, if you could use the app to lock the bike like some e-bikes do, that’d be useful.
Yeah, the speed caps for several models were recently updated. Some like the Sinch 2 and Soltera were increased, whereas others were reduced like the original Aventure (from 31 to 28mph), the latter probably because they must have received some notice of being in excess of class 3 limits.
so tired of the fat tire ebikes , can we just use normal tires please , I mean were reducing the efficiency , not to mention that they look horrible and ride completely different
