4,500 Miles!
Last week, I passed 4,500 miles on my e-bike!
I bought this Aventon Level (first generation) e-bike in April 2022, and it's been a great ride. E-bikes are an extremely efficient transportation method. It takes less than two kWh per 100 miles driven, and depending on your local energy rates ($0.16/kWh is a decent average), that's fractions of a penny per mile.
That's why I originally made this purchase—to commute from downtown Austin to the Domain and back each day (about 30 miles round trip). I've since changed jobs and can't manage a bike commute anymore, but I still dream.
Two accessories I can't live without:
- Spurcycle Bell (Original) - just the most delightful bell for your bike that strikes just the right balance of loud/friendly/urgent.
- Out Front Bike Mount - The absolute best phone mount I've ever used.
