Got my Aventure 2 last week and been having an utter blast so far. Been far too long since I rode and since I'm old and beatup after my Army years, an e-bike suits me perfectly. My only regret is not buying one sooner, lol.
I just received my Aventure.2 great upgrades to your bike. Best video I’ve seen on the subject. Thanks for providing a link to all of the options. I’m setting my bike up like yours. Thank You,,,
Very informative video. I recently got an E-Bike and am looking for ideas for what accessories for myself. I have the Foldylock Forever myself, but keep it in the rear rack bag instead, and use the bosses on the frame for a water bottle, I like to have access to my water while riding.
I enjoyed the video, I have the same bike just got it. I live in Alberta Canada and I will order a couple more accessories now that I have seen your video. The only thing that bothered me was not hearing the bell LOL i thought for sure you'd have rung it, haha. Great job on the video once again
This is the best video I have seen on RUclips. You are a great presenter Thank you. I have been on the fence of getting one of these and have watched a ton of videos. Yours is the best. Wow what great thought into each of your choices. Great job!
Wow thank you so much! That means a lot. I know I'm not the best speaker, however I watched a lot of videos on RUclips so I have an understanding on what I wanted and things people leave out when describing things. Thank you
Question I bought most of your recommended accessories but am not sure how to get the rear bag tight enough I must be doing something wrong but just going under the rack itself the velcro sticks up on the side a lot. Is that correct or did you mount it different, Thanks in advance@@dove348
great video!!! one of the best ive seen on the accessories review. I went and bought all those accessories, I had already bought the Aventon suspension , wish I seen this sooner.
Super helpful video! I like that you came from the motorcycle perspective so the products you recommend are durable and effective. Thx! Regarding the ebike: I wanted a commuter bike (not fat tire but 'wider' tire) and was about to buy the Aventon Level 2 until I came across the Mokwheel Asphalt ST. I test drove both the Mokwheel and Aventon Level 2 for several miles. Both are 'step-thru' bikes and performed well but I preferred the ride of the Mokwheel. Mokwheel also makes a fat tire version, mountain bike and folding bike. To my surprise it was $1,500 (a steal imo) which included: 1. Torque peddling. I had it up over 25 mph at PAS 1 peddling pretty hard. What I like is unlike other methods (like cadence) the harder you peddling the faster you go regardless of the set PAS level. If I set it to PAS 3 I get to 25 mph with less effort PAS 1. That's the difference. Honestly, torque peddling is genius. 2. Its very stable and well built. No wobbling. Even at 30 mph it feels safe. 3. Ergonomics. At first I thought I would not like the handle bars but after riding it around on the test drive I came to appreciate how comfortable it felt. 4. Its fast. If you want it to be. If not you can adjust the settings to limit speed. 5. No herky jerky with the motor. Its very smooth. 6. Color display. I will never go back to black and white. 7. Lights - powerful headlight, great rear lights and breaking lights. All integrated and powered by the battery. 8. It has a built in horn that's LOUD! 9. 7 speed gear shifter. 10. Rear rack. 11. Comfortable seat. 12. Front suspension fork that works really well. 13. The battery lasts 50 to 60 miles easily. 14. Durable metal pedals (not cheap plastic ones). 15. Charges in 3 to 4 hours. 16. Mokwheel also offers the bike in a 'step-over' version. 17. 2 year bumper-bumper-bumper warranty. Great bike. Highly recommend.
Awesome 👌🏽 video. Thanks for posting your accessories. I'm planning on getting the Aventure 2 and definitely will be getting all the accessories you gave links for. ~ Your new subscriber.
Hi from Alberta great review. Nice accessories I like that bell lol. Mirrors are nice too. Ok everything is lol. I ordered the Aventure 2 step through in cobalt blue. Should arrive Monday and looking forward to it. Again great review.
My bike arrived and um wow. Absolutely an amazing bike. You were right I love it. Best bag for the buck. The quality is up there. The torque sensor is the best. I love riding this bike. I’ve ordered a bike lock, helmet, bell, and mirror. Will look at maybe the front rack and a bag for the rear rack. Thanks again for your review. Glenn from Alberta
Ayyy a fellow Clevelander. I don't have an adventure. I got the mom van of the Aventon line, the abound for grocery shopping. Still though I am planning a second lighter fun bike for other things.
🤣😂🤣 guilty! But I've been saving for over a year at least for the past 9 months I knew actually what I wanted and the accessories. It was a birthday/father's day gift to myself! But trust me if money wasn't an object I would have gotten a Riese & Muller Superdelite under that a Fuell Flluid-2s and lastly a Himiway Rhino look those bikes up
@@dove348 I just bought mine about 2 weeks ago it's a blue step through. I've already got 172 mi on it. And I've done a number of accessories like yourself. Absolutely loving it.
@@dove348 yea, Crazy part is, I was looking forward to pedal Assist more than anything but I can do Nothing but throttle it at the moment. It's so bent the chain comes out everytime!
@@dove348 yea me and a friend tried, it just wasn't cutting it! I'm just, like out of all the things that could have gone wrong physically. Why did that have to be it? And apparently on more than one unit.
No I didn't order a spare battery. Although if I purchased one at the time I bought the bike they would have gave me $200 off the extra battery. Besides the battery is a little too long to fit right in the main compartment of the bag but I'm sure it can fit in the side bad if I extend it
@@dove348 Thanks for the info. I just ordered my Aventure 2 last Saturday. I also ordered the extra battery to get that $200 discount. I don't want to get low on juice because I tend to take long rides. So, I'd like to switch them out at the halfway point (generally 22 miles). Gotta do my research to find a bag large enough where the middle compartment can fit the spare battery. Thanks again. Great videos!
@@thedavidjchronicles2707 no problem if this helps I actually rode 50 miles on one trip hit home and my battery was on 8% that was mostly on eco mode. I only really bumped up the peddle assist towards the end to compensate for the voltage drop
@@thedavidjchronicles2707 yes this is my first as well however I did a lot of research before buying. If I had a higher budget it's a few others I would love to have. Fluilld Fuell Flluid-2s, Himiway Rhino, lastly Riese & Muller Superdelite. Look them up all those bike and rated to go at least 100 miles on a charge because they are all duel battery bikes 🤤
Hey I'm in Cleveland too. I just got the Pace 500.3. I haven't had a chance to ride it but in the meantime I've been accessoring mine similarly. Question: What areas have you been riding? Metorparks? Lakefront? Cuyahoga Valley Trail?
Congratulations on the pace!! You'll enjoy it. I've been a lot of places I love riding the lakefront trails I was just down on the Cuyahoga valley trail yesterday riding the Erie canal trail towards Akron is nice as well been to brandywine waterfalls quite a few places with so much more to explore
No you were correct I didn't have the link for the bell I just added it to the description also I'll post it here for you thanks for telling me that www.spurcycle.com/products/better-bicycle-bell
can you show how you lock up your bike with the foldylock? i want to make the purchase with my aventure but i wasnt sure if it was long enough to fit through the tires and around a bike rack pole. thanks!
Those flashing pedals are cool, but you definitely should try and work on a solution for the rear brake or tail light that you don't have. Maybe you have it viewable by a potential car behind you when your not carrying any cargo but it look's like it's totally blocked by your cargo rack set up in the video. There are no easy solution to this when it comes to the rear brake light I'm afraid unless the stock rear rack you have is already coordinated with a rear brake light, (I'm wondering if there are 3rd party rear brake lights that will act like a real brake light, just like a regular car, but not seen one yet that let's you place it exactly where you want it so it's clearly visible) Remember if your in the bike lane as normal and a car chooses to go into it behind you, but you need to stop for any reason, the car driver is probably going to expect to see some kind of rear brake light, because that's what car driver's are used too, and it's hard to blame them for expecting that,
Thanks I love the peddles and they are extremely visible. Now the Aventon Aventure actually has integrated brake lights and tail lights down close to the wheel hub on the frame on each side as well as turn signals they come in handy too. However the light I have on the rear rack is visible the bag doesn't block it although it is a cheap light and I will replace it with a bigger brighter solution. Lastly believe it or not there are aftermarket brake light solutions for bikes I believe they use gyro sensors to determine the quick deceleration of speed. Hey thanks for the consern and suggestions I appreciate it
Thank you for the input, it might even keep me safe one day, I'm not an Ebike owner yet, but I'm making my decision based a little on what if I wanted to do night time food delivery work, so everything brake light and rear cargo racks has higher interest to me than most. It would be great for you to keep us informed on how you plan to upgrade to a larger rear brake light, I wasn't even sure that was even a thing, but now that I know that, I'll start googling for some ideas there as well as the aftermarket brake light solutions, In the meantime I can't really picture those brake lights that low, can you upload another video showing that ?
As I was first putting it on yes but I was able to adjust it and I have it tight I can lift the bike by the bag very little movement I had heavy items in there no movement
Lol I never did the math on it 🤣😂🤣 well of course you don't get everything at once. Well good thing about it is the accessories are pretty much universal
Well you can take the finders and bags off it's pretty sporting looking then. I see what you're saying I like the way it looks guess I'm becoming an old man lol 😂😂🤣
@@dove348we definitely are getting older brother, I’m buying almost everything for my bike from your links. This will be my first Ebike as well. Great video thank you!

Thanks for going through the mods you did. You explained everything very well. Thanks!
