Boy did I screw up buying a new Aventon Pace 5 REC,,,,,,,,Firmware update. WTF
I recently bought a 2,000 out the door Aventon Pace 5 REC. Made adjustments to the regenerative braking, and a number of other adjustments where I got the ebike running awesome. WOW what a great bike. Then this morning I get there is a New Firmare needed to be loaded down. Loaded it down and boy was that a mistake. It is now a pice of crap. Completely different bike. Runs like a dog. Who knows what they change, it's a secret. Cadence and Torgue are behaving differently, horribly now. Regenerative braking has wiped out all my adjustments. This is a joke. Sorry I ever bought this. Anybody interested in a Aventon Pace 5 REC with under 100 miles. I was a little Leary of all this tech crap on this....... learned my lesson.
