If you are looking for a solid e-bike with a solid city commer with a surprisingly muscular engine and a stylish look, you are exactly right than that Aventon 500 Tempo 3. Aventon has secured its niche on the overcrowded e-bike market by striving to the time between “high performance” and “beginner-Friendly” and the Pace 3 hits of this Bullseye. It is casually friendly and easy to drive, with an unproblematic step frame and a calming upright posture, but the hydraulic disc brakes, the assistant assistant and a powerful engine mean that you do not affect performance for easy use.

Two perspectives for driving with an aventon speed 500.3
I have been driving various electrical and analog bicycles for years and found that Tempo 3 is a solid journey-it is a beautiful commuter e-bike, but since it was just starting e-bikers, I had my wife Take it out a few times to get a beginner’s perspective.
“Before I rode it, it was scary because it had an engine and I am a sissy, but as soon as I got it there was nothing there. I practiced in the block a few times and thought: ‘I understood; let us go! ‘It’s like cycling. It’s not like a motorcycle. It feels like a beach cruiser with a little more. “She added that” this bike has risen more than in the past 20 years more bike “.
I didn’t have exactly the same reaction as my wife. She found the upright attitude of Tempo 3 comfortably. I am used to a forward -looking attitude that feels more stable for me, but the “relaxed” position seems to be the choice for most, especially newer drivers.
The “most of their weight on their butt” and the lack of suspension of km / h on the forks and the seat is not the most forgiving bike for bumps. It is not terrible, as is most e-bikes, the tires should be driven quite softly, which was very helpful-but it would have been nice if the locking pable were by default, instead of as an add-on from Aventon.
I found the thumb controlled gas blocks a little excessively sensitive, but I generally prefer throttling with twist-controlled throttles. Until you have got used to you, it is easy to give a thumb more juice than you want, and in the end to jerk a bit forward.

Tempo 3 looks like the future. It doesn’t look like the e-bikes that imitate the appearance of motorcycles, but it doesn’t look like a traditional bike either. The simple lines, handlebars in the cruiser, integrated battery and cables that run through the frame indicate a bike from a science fiction film. It even has brake lights and turn signals. That means a few colors beyond “Ghost White” and “Blue Steel” (Metallic Hell Blue) would be nice.

Despite its nature and the non-threatening appearance for beginners, the pace with a 48-volt volcs hub hub hub engine with 500 watts, which corresponds to real power supply. It is an e-bike in category 2 with a gas speed of 20 miles per hour, but the pedal assistant leads you up to 28 miles per hour quickly like e-bikes. If you are just starting, you could affect this type of speed, but the iPhone and Android app that is delivered by bike, you can adjust your own top speed to a turtle-like 12 miles per hour.
The torque-Sensens-Pedal Assist of the Pace 3 is one step after the cadence of earlier generations of Pace Bikes. Instead of providing motor aid by monitoring how often they turn the cranks, the torque emomentemometers helps on the basis of how much strength they use for pedal. The result is a more natural feeling – it is as if you have stronger legs instead of having the feeling that your pedaling turns on an engine. The torque acquisition is also more energy -efficient, so the battery of the pace takes longer.

The colored LCD display of speed 500.3 is easy to read and understand even in light sunlight. It describes the remaining battery, support, miles and time of your current journey – a tough standard. The four assistant levels of the bike get names such as “Eco” and “Touring” instead of numbers, which is a little annoying until they have got used to it.
With the controls from your left handle, you can switch on the support and set the assist service. There are even blinking buttons for lights on the rear fender – not the most useful function in the world, but still pretty cool. All of this will be intuitive if you have ever operated a vehicle – no instructions required. There is an integrated headlight and a rear light for nightly journeys, and the LED braking lights are displayed when you press the brake lever. Pretty chic.

How long does a battery charge with a speed of 500.3 take?
Aventon says that the battery only takes up to 60 miles with pedal assist and 30 miles with throttle valves. Each battery assessment varies depending on the hills, driver’s weight and how much the engine helps, but this estimate is not far from my experience.

Just driving on a flat floor seems to use an appropriate amount of battery, but as a stress test I took this bike on a hilly 22-mile ride, which included a trip via Mount Hollywood, a 1,333-foot climb. I used the assist to try the pedals as steadily and naturally as possible when I rose the hill/mountain and slightly passed the “real” cyclists dressed with spandex while I only broke a moderate sweat.
When I arrived to the summit, I was surprised that I had only used 10% of the battery’s power supply. The entire trip used about 35% of the battery – not bad for so much height gain, especially in view of the big ones, how much I leaned on the way home on the way home.
Frame, brakes and gears of Tempo 3
Overall, the old-fashioned, non-electric or electronic bicycle parts of Tempo 3 seem to be solid. The hydraulic disc brakes were admirable, even if they rely hard on them in steep descents, and the Shimano -Altus converter is stored quietly and efficiently through the eight gears when they pull the trigger controls. At 50 pounds, the Tempo 3 is surprisingly light and is therefore feasible as a bike, even if the juice comes completely.
I drove the speed 3 for a total of about 90 miles, and the bike felt solid for each of them. Even if it went downhill at 35 miles per hour (top speed based on my own fear of fear with a newer bike), it never felt out of control, shaky or alarming. I wouldn’t take it out on a long gravel road or on a mountain bike route, but a few experiences with broken, gnarled concrete caused no problems.
Overall: this could be your dream wheel
If you think about switching to e-bikes, you should consider finding a local bicycle shop, selling Aventon bicycles and trying out the pace. Enthusiast: “You will appreciate the torque assistant of Tempo 3, hydraulic brakes and powerful engine. And even if you only use it twice a year, these trips will be effortless and funny.
