The Pace 500 has opened my world to biking and fitness. I was an avid hiker but ankle replacement surgery ended that. My Dr. recommended biking instead of hiking - no impact. I made the commitment and am so happy to have found Aventon and the Pace 500. Very user friendly and even light enough for me to load my hitch rack on my own. I'm 67 and can once again enjoy the freedom of fresh air, open space, and movement. Thank you Aventon.
