Better time? Not really. I just rode my Canyon Spectral 125 today and I can honestly say that bike is a lot more fun...🙂

I had mine out this weekend. I just can't believe the climbing power, I don't like the rattles and clunky SRAM shifts, but it's so fun I overlook it.

Same here. It’s hard to find a reason to leave eco mode. It’s insane

I heard the rattling on this one, is it the internal cables? Would drive me nuts.

No, it's a known issue. I need to contact Aventon about it. It's something in the motor and they say it's not supposed to do that.

I find that shifting is super smooth with proper maintenance, but I guess it depends on terrain ridden, and what your exposure is. After about 10 years off, I think it's amazing compared to my 2009 era Trek (non eMTB). What bugs me about this bike is the motor overrun that occurs at times. Also the walk mode needs to stay on after a double press or something. Also I cracked the rear light housing somehow under normal riding conditions. The battery cover also needs a better design, and overall the bike is a TAD heavy, but don't get me wrong I love the bike and have been riding every weekend. I will upgrade the tires eventually but right now I'm enjoying slaying downhills on the thin tires it's like riding a razor blade. I did upgrade my handlebar, stem, and pedals.

@@sd5458 The sram is loud and clunky compared to others. It works smoothly and is reliable. It's not quiet. The bike rattles. This has nothing to do with maintenance or exposure 🤣

Sweet! Maybe if I off-loaded a few bicycles then I could justify adding an ebike to my stable
@ShadLife2 ай бұрын
Maybe. I am not sure it's worth it to get rid of regular bikes for an eBike in my opinion.

@@ShadLife 👌 After a lifetime of running I had to give that up 10 yrs ago and cannot spend much time on my feet, cannot even walk the minimum recommended. Took up cycling which does not affect my feet, gives me my cardio and also makes my hips feel better too. I am nearly 70 now and figure I may require an ebike eventually.

Is yours a medium? The small comes with 27.5 wheels. If you’re 5’7” the small would definitely suit you better
@ShadLife2 ай бұрын
It's a medium. The reach is too short on the small and I didn't want 27.5 wheels on this bike.

Did you ever try the mullet set up on the ramblas?

I did not because I don't know how to adjust the computer for a 27.5 wheels.

@@ShadLife Oh man yeah that would probably mess up the torque sensor huh? I wonder if Aventon could be of any help. I'm definitely interested in seeing how the ramblas would perform with a smaller rear wheel. The bike is deffinately hard to pull the front end up and looking for solutions.

@@colonybmx247 I sent them a full review of what I thought about the bike. One of the things I suggested was a shorter chainstay length. It's 165mm and that is huge! 140mm or 145mm would make it a lot easier to pull up the front end. One thing you can do with the existing setup is get a taller handlebar. I will likely try that here soon on mine.

@@ShadLife That's a good idea! That will probably be my next upgrade then. I Used to bmx so being able to easily pull the front end up is important to me.

Did you leave ECO mode at the default setting? I find Trail mode is more responsive.
@ShadLife2 ай бұрын
Yeah, everything is default right now.
@sd5458Ай бұрын
I had to fine tune (turn down) trail mode as it was too aggressive for me. Eco I left alone, and turbo I bumped down a little bit because it was only appropriate for flat out speed runs which I rarely do. I'm curious to see what settings others are running though.
