It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Phoenix-based ebike maker Lectric reckons that last year's XPedition model went on to become the best-selling cargo ebike in the US. Now the company has launched its second generation ??? sporting "premium features typically found in $3,000+ models" but at a fraction of that kind of price tag.

I have an Aventon abound cargo bike, and I'm about 220 riding weight. On 2nd level assist (of four levels) which is where I ride 99% of the time, I get about 30 miles. Fairly flat terrain. I also ride on the fast side and I'm in decent mountain biking shape - that definitely matters, I almost never touch the throttle.

Most cargo I've had on it was around 150lb. No idea what the range reduction would have been but the bike handled just fine.
