Aventon: MyRide

What the hell does this mean? It makes no sense and is circular! The error on the main screen says “reconnect to the network”. Tapping that it more or less says to reconnect to the network, I need to reconnect. The worst is it happened during a bike ride!!! I lost my ride data!!!

I love this app but it has a very small flaw. That flaw being, while riding on a bike trail that parallels a street the app sometimes shows my path on the road in error.

20 miles into my new Aventon Aventure 3 and overall I honestly think it’s one of the best fat tire e-bikes out right now. The comfort, power, build quality, and overall ride feel are excellent. Outside of one issue, this bike is easily a 9.9/10 for me. The one thing holding it back is the way the Class 3 governor interacts with pedal assist once you reach 28 mph. And before people misunderstand me, this is NOT about wanting crazy throttle speeds or turning the bike into a motorcycle. Aventon already complies with the law — the bike will not independently propel itself beyond the legal Class 3 limit. That part is completely fine and should stay protected. The issue is what happens once a rider is still actively contributing meaningful pedal power at that speed. Instead of simply tapering assist naturally, the controller starts interrupting cadence and ride rhythm. It can feel like the bike is backing you off or fighting momentum even though the rider still has more natural effort left to give. That distinction matters. There should be a legal and engineering distinction between: 1. A motor independently propelling a bike beyond the legal limit. 2. A rider continuing to push beyond that speed under their own power while using pedal assist. In my opinion, manufacturers should remain fully protected and compliant as long as: - throttle and motor-only propulsion remain capped at the legal Class 3 limit, - the bike itself cannot independently exceed that limit, - and any additional speed comes primarily from rider-generated pedal effort and momentum. At that point, the rider — not the motor — is contributing the additional energy. I also think the current governor interaction hurts efficiency more than people realize. When the bike repeatedly tapers and reapplies assistance near the limit, it can disrupt cadence, fight momentum, and end up draining battery faster than a smoother assist transition would. The fix honestly feels more like a firmware and ride-tuning solution than a hardware problem. Instead of abrupt governor interaction at the assist ceiling, the controller could transition into a smoother progressive assist fade that preserves cadence and natural rider input while still remaining fully compliant with Class 3 laws and throttle limits. I think this would actually improve safety, efficiency, and overall ride quality because stronger riders would maintain smoother cadence and more natural control instead of experiencing abrupt governor interaction at the assist ceiling. Again, I’m not asking for unrestricted throttle speeds or 40+ mph e-bikes. I’m talking about preserving the natural pedaling experience while still keeping manufacturers legally protected. Fix that one issue and this bike is nearly perfect.
