Bikers Pierce here with electric bike report and today we have the event in pace, 500 steps through. This is a 500-watt class three E-bike that blurs the line in between commuter and cruiser so let’s get into it.

So, one of the big changes with this bike from the standard pace 500 is the fact that it’s stepped through. You’ll notice there’s no bar right here.

Simple Way to Ride

It’s a nice low step frame and they have really designed this to be that good median in between being a sporty cruiser and a very casual commuter and this walks that fine line between being something you can commute on.

Also, something you can just go on a nice casual ride. You’re going to have plenty of room for saddle height and a wide array of riders Heights that are going to be able to fit this bike and if you do happen to get off the bike fast, you fall off the front of the saddle. There. Isn’t going to be any bar there for you to hit.

So, I have become very fond of this low step frame here and you have a very upright position when you’re riding this bike, and overall, as I’ve mentioned when you are going to buy the best beach cruiser bike.

It does feel like that hybrid between crews and commuters, it takes the best of both worlds and puts them into one bike. Now, while there will be a lot of cruisers on this bike, there are still some class three speeds.

This bike just rolls back. So, when I went up the hill in throttle only, I had a time of one minute and 43 seconds with an average speed of 10.5 miles per hour.

I could definitely tell the bike was working but it never felt like it was going to give out on me. This gave me the impression that if it’s been a long day at work and I just want to get home without peddling, I can easily use the throttle on this bike and not expend any effort on my own end.

500-watt motor to propel you forward and It also really helped that I had an eight-speed drive train. Every time it got hard to pedal, I had a gear I was able to shift into and I shifted four or five times up that hill.

It never was hard on me as a rider. The bike picked up the slack and I think this eight-speed drive train is a great choice for a bike like this, where you’re going to be doing steep Hills sometimes and straightaway sometimes.

So, I wanted to talk a little bit more about this eight-speed Shimano, a Sarah drive train here. This drive train allows you to ride this bike turned completely off, and it also allows you to perfect cadence.

The cadence you prefer regardless of how steep the hill is and basically, I’m able to spin at the same rate on a steep hill as I am on flat ground because that motor I talked about earlier picks up the slack.

So, I’m a big fan of this eight-speed drive, train it’s connected to a rapid-fire shifter. So, shifting is very crisp, very consistent, and quick.

Basic Parts of Aventon Cruiser

Overall, I think this is the right drive train for the bike. So, you may have heard me mentioned how this drive train allows you to ride the bike, even if it’s completely dead, or if you don’t have the battery installed.

Thankfully this 48-volt, 11.6-amp power battery. It holds its charge quite right. We actually ended up testing the range of this battery in two different ways.

One where we were peddling the full distance on maximum pedal assist and the other where we are on minimum pedal assist. When our rider was in minimum pedal assist, he reached 51.3 miles with an average speed of 10 miles per hour.

Before the battery finally died. Anything over 50 miles per hour is pretty impressive, especially when your test rider is six foot five. 220 pounds like they were.

So, we had a few riders, bigger riders, test the bike and it still got over 50 miles. So if you are below 220 pounds, I think you’re going to be just fine on the range.

There is a lot of difference in feeling when it comes to a pedal-assist level which leads me to my next point, which is our circuit test, weird electric bike report.

We like to conduct what we call the circuit test, where we test each pedal assist level on the bike around a one-mile circuit to really distinguish and determine how fast you’re going in each assistance level and how each assists level varies from one off the back of the bike with how powerful it is.

So, one thing that I do like that event is doing with their bikes as, um, they make it. So you have to be in pedal assist level one to engage the throttle.

Basically, when you turn on the bike, you’ll notice that throttle doesn’t do anything and that’s a big safety feature, newer riders who aren’t familiar with the throttle are going to be a lot safer on this bike because you start without that throttle being in use.

Again, you’ll have to be in that first pedal assist level before you can throttle away. You do have a nice set of hydraulic display breaks from zoom. They’re 180-millimeter rotors, front and rear, and so far, so good with how these brakes are performing.

I still have a few questions about them. So, we’re actually going to conduct a brake test where we see how fast we can stop on this bike from 20 miles per.

Don’t you just love the smell of burnt rubber? Well, I just smelled that five total times where we just did our break tests from around 20 miles per hour.

I’m super impressed with these zoom hydraulic display breaks. As I mentioned earlier, they’re hooked up to those 180-millimeter rotors. After my five tests, all from 20 miles per hour, it only took me an average stopping distance of 13 feet, four inches to get this baby to a complete stop.

Hopefully, you guys can see the skid marks right here, cause it really. Frames the consistency. These brakes provided me with not only was the stopping power there.

The predictability was there too and that is just as important. If you don’t know how your break is going to grab that’s dangerous and with this being a class three bike, a proper set of brakes is extremely important.

And I feel those zoom, hydraulic disc brakes are indeed that. So, at the end of the day, I think the event is doing a really good job with their pace 500 step three and it’s not only is it versatile.

It keeps me comfortable, which I very much value in a bike like this, where I’m going to be doing a lot of on-road miles over those handlebars, the upright positioning and comfortable contact points really made for a very smooth writing experience that is going to be good for commuters and cruisers.

Now, as far as things I’d like to see changed in the future, I wouldn’t mind seeing a watch display on the display here.

The reason being is when I can see the wattage, the motor and battery are working with, I know how to work harder or easier to maximize that battery life. Basically, if I can see the wattage, I know whether I’m not working hard enough or I’m working too hard and I can ultimately extend the range of the bike over.

I think event and is doing this bike ride. This is a great bike for someone who isn’t really conformed to one category or another.

But they know that they want to ride on the road. So with a couple of frame sizes and colors, they have to have the step-through and the crossbar model, I’m confident that there’s a pace 500 that will satisfy your needs.

With that being said, this is a great bike for that $1,500 price point. I think the zoom breaks were a nice touch. And I think, especially for the price point, you’re paying that this is a killer price.

So, with that being said, this pretty much sums up the event and pace 500 steps through review and I really appreciate you guys.

Conclusion

I always love to read what you guys have to say, and if you want to know more about the bike you can visit OutdoorXsports.

I have a written review going very in-depth on this bike and what it’s all about, you should be very well informed by that review all said and done next to that link.

Despite the uncertainty and difficulties, last year the summer camps were organized, which is why this year we are organizing the Campus summer.

Home Economics is one of the classes people love to take in high school and middle school, but for all of the wrong reasons. It is never about an interest in learning how to cook, do laundry, or become a useful member of a household. It’s usually about getting an easy A. Which is alright. I get it. But Home Economics is one of the few classes you might actually regret drifting off during once you hit college.

One day, you will find yourself at the grocery store down the street from your college apartment. Your eyes will glaze over as you stare at the uninspired selection in the frozen foods aisle, and then you’ll be jolted by a bolt of inspiration. You will realize that you can cook yourself a real meal! One of the ones your mom used to cook, with meat and vegetables. The type where you use an oven or a stove instead of a microwave or a hot plate.

You watched your mom cook plenty of meals, and hey, you did get that A in Home Ec. You’ll return home with a notably lighter wallet and bags full of ingredients. When you’re staring at those ingredients spread out on your counter, next to a pile of cooking tools you don’t remember ever buying, that’s when the regret will hit you. You’ll realize you never actually learned how to cook.

Luckily, all is not lost. Cooking is pretty easy, and you’re in college, which means you’re already prepared to learn something new. While college students may not be world-renowned for the prowess in the kitchen, these are 5 dishes that every student from Georgetown to GW Online can and should learn how to make. 

1. Chicken Parmesan

This one is easy, delicious, and relatively nutritious. After all, it’s pretty much just chicken and cheese. Don’t be scared off by cooking chicken, either. As long as the insides are fully cooked through — no pink center – you’ll be good to go.

2. Mason Jar Salads

It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. A delicious salad you make in a mason jar, that can be stored for a few days and taken on the go.

3. Vegetable Wraps

Just slice up a serving of your favorite vegetables, sauté them in olive oil until they’re soft, and wrap them in a tortilla with some dressing. It’s a quick meal that will actually provide you with the nutrients you need to get through the day.

4. Avocado and Egg

Fry up an egg to your preferred doneness and plop it into a sliced avocado. The two foods go great together, and it’s a healthy breakfast alternative, given that avocados are a superfood and all. Don’t forget the salt and pepper.

5. Curry

Curry is a foreign delicacy that’s surprisingly easy to make. It is also versatile, with plenty of different ways to prepare it, and downright tasty. All you need are vegetables, meat, coconut milk, and plenty of curry spice.

If you look into the world of recreational and stimulating beverages, the first one that is going to pop it’s head up is definitely Kratom. In fact, the herb has become so famous globally that talks are going on about replacing the traditional beverages like tea and coffee with Kratom. Opioid overdose and addiction is a situation that has plagued the world.

Kratom helps to deal with this problem as well. In fact, the utility of Kratom is many, which makes it an important consumed herb. However, what should be your approach with respect to Kratom on campus is a different deal altogether. This article is a small attempt to answer that question.

Why take Kratom?

It is a powdered form of a drug that is derived from the Mitrogyna Speciosa plant, which is indigenous to South-East Asia. It is mainly dispensed in the form of powder or paste and is consumed as a beverage generally. The popularity of Kratom can be judged from the fact that more than 5 million people use it in the US alone.

It is mainly cultivated in Borneo, Bali, Indonesia, and other similar geographical locations. It is primarily of three types based on the color of the vein running along the center of the leaves. This includes the red, white, and green form. Although each type specializes in a specific type of function, the overall utility of Kratom is as follows-

• People suffering from long-lasting, excruciating, chronic pain due to systemic conditions can benefit from it as Kratom has the pain-relieving property inherently.
• Some people are advocating it to be a good replacement for opioid narcotics for dealing with pain. This is because patients become addicted to opioids after long time use, and the side effects of it are quite detrimental.
• In case you feel that you start feeling lethargic quite frequently and lack energy as a whole, Kratom can be the answer and provide you with all the fuel that you need for your body.
• It has positive influences on your mind as well. Kratom such as kratom crazy red vein thai helps you concentrate better. This automatically leads to an increase in productivity, which is translated into more success in professional and sometimes personal life.
• People suffering from various mental disorders like depression, panic, and anxiety can benefit from taking Kratom.
• When taken in controlled amounts, it can also have recreational properties like euphoria. However, you need to acclimate your body to be tolerable for higher doses.

The problems with Kratom

Despite the multiple utilities and benefits of Kratom that have been mentioned above, it has not found any preference or acceptability with the Food and Drug Administration yet. The FDA has not found any credible study that establishes Kratom as a potential opioid replacement. As the abuse of opioids is already well-known, allowing another drug of similar potential seems to be a risky potential.

Moreover, there have been reports of salmonella infection due to the intake of Kratom, which has not worked on its favor. Overall, due to the reasons mentioned above, Kratom has not been included in the list of approved drugs yet. They state that there is no compact proof of its credibility, and they cannot base anything on the grounds of positive feedback.

What should you do regarding Kratom on campus?

Now that it has become clear that Kratom is not totally legal in different parts of the world, you need to be careful when using it. The benefits of Kratom are something that you can definitely not deny. There are scores of people that have used it and come out with positive results. However, due to the stand taken by the FDA, it cannot be consumed on campus without raising any eyebrows whatsoever. So, you have to be very careful in your endeavors.

To conclude, there is still a lot of scope for research in Kratom. Once it becomes legal, using it freely won’t be a problem at all. Till then, use Kratom judiciously and only as much as needed.
