You're the best. Chicago should make you an Ambassador for the city and pay you. I've never been to your city but it looks like there are numerous bike paths to get around. Great videos. Always look forward to your next. Lee Simowitz from Socal
Thanks for the kind words Lee!
They only pay non-contributing members of society there.
I stay in Chicago and bought one of these this past Monday. It's great ! and yes there are many paths by the lake, downtown, northwestern, many suburbs, by trains etc. so far with work commuting, i have over 145 miles on it.
Thanks for all the helpful insights and actual data! All your homework made my decision easy I'm going to buy the 500.3 😊
Good choice! Glad I could help!
Love the review! Great Chi-Town scenery! Beautiful bike! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Wow nice video, you got some beautiful shots!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how you share your passion for these bikes while paying homage to your city.
Thanks man. You always have a kind word to say. I appreciate your support!
@@scotthardesty i think i delivered that bike! Looks awesome. See you again tomorrow! -fedex man
@@disappointmentjuice5274 Hahaha... you probably did. You will be doing this all summer. See you tomorrow!
Great video as always. The drone shots are amazing. Such a beautiful city. Curious to see how the range improves with warmer weather.
Thank you. I had someone beg me to sell it to them. I wish I could keep them all but I am not able to. Unfortunately, there will not be a warm weather test with me and this bike.
My wife has the new Aventon Level 2 and I have a Pace 350. Both awesome bikes. We have many beautiful paths in Northwest Indiana. We usually ride around Schererville to Munster or Crown Point. Also nice path from Hobart to Portage. Looking forward to ride along lake by Whiting. Great review as always.
Nice! Our cabin is in Michiana and like to ride the trails around there as well. Since it's an Airbnb, its often booked leaving 95% of rides here in Chicago. Thanks for watching!
@Scott Hardesty Loving the videos Scott, keep em coming! I appreciate the real world distance tests. Sounds like this Pace and your A2 have a very similar range, how would you compare the ride quality between the 2? Looks like you rode them both on very similar routs, witch did you feel the least fatigued by the end of the trip? By the way I love Chicago such a great biking city, can't wait to get back there soon!
Wow... These are great questions. They did do about the same distance, to be fair, I had a suspension seat post on the A2 so it wins... but if I put one on the Pace 500.3, then it would win. These thinner tire bikes are winning me over!
Man, I need to connect when I'm in town (Champaign-Urbana guy here)
Seems as though you really put e-bikes through their paces🤙🏼
I'll ride with ya!
great views on the rides.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the review. I was wondering what your average speed was while riding.
around 20 average.
Great video! I've been debating between a 500.3 and an Aventure.2 (have seen your videos of both). Was really leaning towards the Aventure.2 but seeing how comfortable you indicate the Pace is is leaning more that way now (plus easier to transport).
Also saw one of your first videos of the Aventure.2 - looks like you were at a cabin (definitely not Chicago lol). Northern Wisconsin maybe?
Thanks for watching my videos! We have a cabin in New Buffalo, MI that we rent out as an Airbnb. I love going up there but the cabin stays pretty booked.
The A2 is a very, very big bike. It is very wide. If transport is common on a rack, I may lean toward a pace. I just spent $200 this week to get a ramp for my 1UP rack since lifting the A2 is ok before the ride, tough after the ride. I love my A2, wish it could shed pounds (and oh, this is with the battery out BTW).
Great review! I have the OG Pace 500 and now I want the 500.3 lol. Does it have throttle at stop? Btw - what’s the song that you used in this video? 🎶
Thank you! Yes, the throttle works from a dead stop as long as you have it in a PAS mode. You can easily use it to get going making it easy for you take off before you pedal. The song is Katana - Lofive. Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Can I ask about the handlebar mirror? What brand is it and where did you get it? Everything on the website seems to be out of stock.
Thank you! Here is the mirror I have for this bike. amzn.to/48sPAk7
My husband and I just bought some Aventon Aventures. I've really liked your videos on this bike - extremely helpful! Question: Have you used Anti-theft skewers for your wheels? I'm kind of new to all of this - if you have used them, what would you suggest for the Aventure? I have no idea what to get, but figure whatever I can do to make it difficult for thieves is a plus. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and I am glad my videos have helped you! I do have the skewers on the front wheel of my Aventure 1. I don't know that brand because I took it to a local bike shop and talked to them about how the "theft proof" it so they hooked me up. You can also get the alarms that you turn on with a remote and they will make a loud noise if someone messes with it. My daily goto lock is the foldylock.

Great review, but in a more recent review, I think you said the Discover 2 has an edge over this Pace 500.3.
My Pace 500.2 also has squeaky brakes that I had replaced free under warranty. But then after replacing them, I kinda wanted them back on. It alerted others I was by them without even having to use the bell, lol.
At this exact moment in time, I don't know any other commuter that is nicer than the Velotric Discover 2. They did fix my brake issue under warranty as well.
Your video inspired me to test the farthest I could go on a full battery charge while feathering the assistant on and off depending on the conditions I was on at the time. I was able to complete am 87 mile ride on my very first ride and still showed 8% of the battery remaining. I continued to test this on every long ride over the last 3 months of good riding weather here in Ohio on the great bike paths that interconnect throughout the state. I actually completed a 104.5 mile ride from Cincinnati to Xenia, OH then Dayton and finishing up in Monroe, OH. I still had 32% of the battery remaining when I stopped. Now, I obviously ride a decent amount without the pedal assist, but it just shows you what you can accomplish on this bike. When I rode the 60 mi. Grand Fodo ride sponsored by the Cincinnati Cycling Club out in Brookville, In on what turned out to be a pretty hilly route, I still made it 59.5 mi. before the battery died on the final 1/4 mile of the ride. I'm hoping to attempt the 326 mi. Ohio-To-Erie ride in the summer of 2024. Although, I may invest in a 2nd battery just to be safe. Great videos Scott.
Whoa. That is insane. What is your average speed?
I've averaged 16.08 mph over 15 separate rides. I thought I wouldn't really get a workout from an ebike, but some of my rides have lasted just over 6 hours. I love my Aventon Pace 500.3. I was struggling to do even a 30-mile ride before. Now I know I have the ability to tackle some of the longer rides that I've always wanted to try. I have battery anxiety on some of those long rides, but that just forces me to peddle on my own when it's a flat to declining surface. @@scotthardesty
thanks for sharing!
I have a Pace 500.3 and have ridden it 40 miles several times and still have over 25% life left on the battery. I ride almost entirely on Eco pedal assist level.
Nice! There are a lot of factors that determine how many miles you can get out of a bike. Mine are always less than stated due to my weight and how I ride them.
Hills or no hills or a mix to get that distance?
@@pishni259 Mix, along a river on a GreenWay. A couple of good hills, but mostly flat.
Comfort wise, how does this bike compare to the thunder st on a long ride? Great video btw
Wow... good question. I've mentioned that the Thunder ST is my favorite bike right now. I have not taken a long distance trip with it yet to compare the seating position on the pace 500.3 is excellent. Plus, the Pace has a throttle. I do plan on getting a long distance ride going with the Thunder ST soon. The Pace sits more upright as well. Without actually testing it yet, I feel the Pace might be better on a long ride.
Love biking around Chicago but there's no hills so difficult to know how the bike would perform in other areas.
That is true, I just work with what I have.
Great review, we had two of the Pace gen 2s, I traded mine last week for an A2. The front brakes, I did bed them but the rotor drags above 15mph and the squeals like a sequel to Deliverance. Back to the LBS next week. FYI, you pushed me over the hump to upgrade to the A2. Now I may need to upgrade the wife to the Pace 3.
I got that Deliverance reference. Hahahahaha. I had issues with the front brake as well but a new rotor and pads seemed to have fixed it. Although, I just upgraded to 4 piston brakes and 203 rotors as I am wondering if it will make a difference on stopping power. Video coming soon on that.
@@scotthardesty Good to hear, I am a big guy, 260 and the bike/gear is heavy, lots to stop in our hilly community. Thank you for your content, I am a fan! I would also like your insight, I assumed the 750W motor on the A2 would be a marked difference from the Pace, but in the first 20 miles it seems like the additional 25lbs/fat tires of the A2 negates the increase in motor size. In other words, I am no faster on the A2 than I was on the Pace. The A2 does seem more sturdy. Wish I had both - county mouse/city mouse, Pace for hauling, A2 for the hood.
@@scotthardesty can you do a video on the upgrade?
@@jackshoffstall7677 I will be doing a video showing the braking differences from the stock to the upgraded 4 piston in a few weeks.
Regarding range, remember he rode it in the second level. And, at about 45F, the range is considerably less than at 75F.
Yup. That is what I always try to remind people.
Next time you do a range test, put “going the distance” from rocky in the video BTW what trail is that in the beginning?
hahaha. It's called the "606" or the Bloomingdale trail.
I rode yesterday 25 miles on my pace 500.3 and used eco all the way occasionally at intersections using power and when I was done in 2 hours and 13 minutes on the log,
Nice!
@@scotthardesty I just realized I forgot to say I had 66% left, sorry I never check what I write bad habbit
You will gain a lot in warm weather. My last e-bike would do 22 miles on a 70+ degree day but only 9 when the temp was 32F.
I am surprised on little of a difference sometimes that I see between cold and warm weather tests when it comes to distance.
Looks like Chicago has some really nice biking infrastructure. Out of all the e-bikes you've tried, do you have a favorite?
I do like all the bike trail options for sure. I have favorites for certain types of rides. Right now, my summer bike is the Velotric Thunder ST for the city (I did a review on it of course). There is just something about that bike that makes me want to grab it first for running errands around Chicago. For true mountain biking, I love my new Giant Trance X E+3. Big loads... the Aventon Abound. When I don't know what I want to ride I always gravitate towards the 26" fat tire bikes. Either the Aventure 2 or the new Troxus Explorer I just reviewed.
A shame that criminals have ruined our cities. Chicago is truly beautiful! Nice videos, thanks.
Thank you! I also agree.
Many of the worst criminals are elected. And returned to office year after year after decade.
Criminals have not. FOX NEWS, News Max and other red stations HAVE ruined our great city. Now thinking about it, You are right, "criminals" have destroyed it, the ones who appear on FOX and he like.
Hey! I was looking to buy an ebike and came upon the level.2 and this pace 500.3. I am looking to use it for city use (which has steep roads). Anyone have any recommendations?
There are a few differences between the two.
Level 2
comes with fenders and rack
seating position is more forward
Has adjustable front suspension
Pace 500.3
Fenders and Rack must be purchased separately ($200)
more upright seating position while riding
adjustable stem (raise the handle bars for rider comfort)
Dual brakelight and turn signals
Hopefully this helps. You can get them here: alnk.to/aAJWjg2
Scott, since the Pace 500.3 has a 500 W motor how does this compare with your Aventure 2 and it’s 750 W motor as far as torque speed etc. I know the fat tires will make a difference thus taking power away from the Aventure2 , but does the Pace seem to be as powerful as the Aventure?
Because of the smaller tires and lighter weight of the bike overall, I didn't feel like I was sacrificing any power when comparing the two. I think it's more of "preference" on which bike you like better. The advantages of the A2 over this Pace is that the A2 comes with the fenders and rack included, and the suspension front fork. My A2 is still my overall favorite because I feel I can take it anywhere.
@@scotthardesty Thank You for your reply. This was sort of what I was figuring. We’re looking at either getting a Level or the Pace for the smaller tires. I want her to get the Aventure 2 but it’s a heavier bike and I think she wants a lighter one.
@@DanLee53 no problem Dan. Let me know what you choose! If you could use my link that would be helpful. Happy Riding!
@@scotthardesty 👍🏻
How far do you think you would get in ECO and never used the throttle? Not worrying about speed.
I realize you may need to increase the level once it gets to 10%.
So many things come in to play when it has to do with distance. Rider weight, terrain you are riding, temperature, speed (as you mentioned), but I know this bike would go for a long time and feel confident that it would be close to what they advertise.
Are the batteries the same as the ones used in gen 1 and 2?
I thought I covered that in the first 30 seconds of the video. If not, it’s compatible with the 500 Next Gen.
I’m going to look up what a 500 next Gen is.
Aventon website says miles on level 1 peddle assist. Do you think that is accurate?
Aventon is real good at showing the distance in miles via various PAS levels (1-5) and I have found them to be pretty accurate. I am a heavier guy than the people who test them and that does affect mileage as well.
Chicago looks like an amazing city! I would love to move there!
It's great for bicycles. They are always adding and improving bike lanes.
@@scotthardesty That's great to hear. I'm going to college in a suburb near Dallas and I hate relying on driving. I started cycling to school and work but it's tough when everything is so far away. I plan on moving to Chicago after I graduate and enjoy a car-free life
@@antonioiniguez1615 I get it man. I bought my first e-bike in 2021. I hadn't ridden a bike for a good 40 years. We have 2 cars and 95% of errands I run on are on bikes. The traffic in the city is terrible if you drive a car. Not only am I able to get anywhere I want to go faster but I also feel more connected to the city. Good luck at school, Chicago will be here waiting for you. It only gets better over time.
What is touring in PAS levels?
It only has 4 levels… so #2
Chicago looks amazing compared with the news that makes it look like a s#!t hole
You will get a LOT more miles in Ecofreako at summer temps (>70F).
You will be surprised that it's not actually that much different. I have tested bikes in 30 degrees and 60 degrees and its only a couple miles difference.
@@scotthardesty My RIde 1 Up had a 9 mile range when it was 32F and a 22 mile range on nice summer days.
@@BrianMolstad Sounds like you have the wrong bike. I have ridden in 19F and had more mileage out my bikes.
Unfortunately by pedaling you made the test worthless. It will go as far as you can pedal. I cannot pedal, and would like to know how far it will go of fairly flat level streets and bike paths around 10-12 mph throttle ONLY.
You mean unfortunately for you this test was worthless. I test bikes on how I ride them. I will not be doing a distance like that. I doubt you will find a review that only uses throttle at 10-12.
Dude! To a local, you did the 606, across the whole loop , through Millennium Park, and south of McCormick Place!!!!!! and have 75% left? That alone says for the price, is a deal.
Right?!
