Any e-cargobike buyer's guide that leaves off the unofficial 2023 Family Bike of Camberville, the Aventon Abound, is highly sus. But anyway. nymag.com/strategist/article/b

@bikepedantic Lektric XPedition is the unofficial Family Bike of Richland -- we have an eBike store that sells them so folks can test ride. I wonder if Camberville has a store carrying Aventons. Lektric is overtaking Rad here pretty fast, and my friend with a mobile bike shop who builds direct-to-consumer bikes says Rad and Blix are a nightmare but Lektric goes together in 1/3 of the time and issue-free.

@HayiWena We do have a couple of active Aventon dealers, and no Lectric ones, as well as a few early Aventon adopters who have been very active in sharing experiences and test drives. I think the UL battery thing is a big selling point here, too

@bikepedantic What is the UL Battery Thing? While I'm so deeply into cargo bikes I had an UPSETTING dream last night that someone's Yuba Spicy Curry I was storing got stolen, I haven't heard of UL Batteries.

@HayiWena Having the UL rating on batteries, meaning they're lower risk to spontaneously combust. Lectric, Rad don't have it.
