My wife is similar age, 5'7 and 135, active. The backstory: I'm 51, 5'10 and 200 lbs, active my entire life, pretty good shape, no health/physical restrictions. Since then it has been hours of google, youtube and I've lost track of how many e-bike websites I've visited. Never know.Hello - Just want to say I've read through a lot of threads/topics and sub forums before I decided to ask for help!īrand new to ebike world, as in looked at my first one 3 days ago. Pretty interesting, eh ? I could be wrong. And some family member or friend will be 're-gifted' with their first ebike, and so on and so forth.
#Aventon vs rad power upgrade#
That said, It wouldn't surprise me though, if the Mission becomes the most 're-gifted' ebike in the market, as once the buyer gets over the initial excitement of pedal assist, and very limited functionality, he or she will within a few months, long for a more practical ebike, and I'm sure Rad hopes it's their RadCity or some other model, they'll upgrade to, soon after the fixie purchase. At the same time it's priced just below some of Rads most significant competitive threats who have been eating away at Rads market presence in the 'below $1500' price point category which has been by far the fastest growing segment within the ebike market itself. It's priced just low enough to pull people away from the low priced models on Spamazon, and become a good entry point for people afraid to spend too much on their first ebike. Just adding more market confusion, and distracting people from the competition.Īctually though, the Mission intro could be a rather clever market strategy by a CEO, who is lucky enough to have the first 3 letters of his last name, sound pretty appealing for the name of his ebike importing firm. Rad appears to be reeling in a lot of naive consumers with a low price ebike. The price where the Mission should be at.
Didn't go well for them, and now you can find them on line through places like Walmart for around $798. Schwinn tried it too, around the same time with their Monroe. The similarities between the two end at their respective price points and their two wheels and a motor.Īventon did that 'fixie' experiment 4 years ago, and while they sold a lot of them, they didn't find a wide audience. If you have strong legs you can get decent distance from the battery and a good work out. It does the job for quick and short urban commutes. Rather uncomfortable for many older riders, and more about being low priced with few frills. The Mission is fixie, typically for short ride urban commuting, lean forward posture, and not good for hills or trails.
One (the Pace 350) is a comfort ebike capable of being ridden on pavement or trails, with multiple speeds to easily go up hills, and extend range, along with entirely different frame geometry that allows the rider to stay more upright, with a slight pedal forward configuration, to get good leg extension but not needing the seat too far above the ground. The Pace 350 vs Mission is not comparing two similar ebikes at all. You could press walk mode button to get up to 3.5 mph from start, if you have no ability to move it one pedal stroke. On the throttle, it can be engaged on the 350 as soon as you are going at least 2 mph, and no pedal stroke needed. Go back to Aventons Populo brand to compare fixie to fixie. Comparing that to a fixie like the mission is apples and oranges. But it's a class 3 ebike easily capable of 28 mph. The 500 runs at about 12-13 mph under similar conditions. In level 1 assist, the 350 is about 9 to 11 mph depending upon rider weight, wind speed, or hills. Click to expand.He's comparing the Pace 350, not the 500.
