>!I’m glad some of you ask though, lets me know I’m not alone and my bike is not broken!<

Aventon Abound LR. It’s the only transport my kids and I use. Had it 6 months and ridden just over 1,200 km.

The kickstand bracket broke and damaged the E Lock housing. I only noticed as I lost power, and it appeared the bike thought the bike lock was engaged. I removed the whole kickstand setup, no joy, plugged the lock back in, worked for a day, now back to the same issue… no pedal assist as the bike thinks the lock Is engaged…

I’ve been told it’s a 2 to 3 month wait for parts, so I’m trying to work out if there’s any way to bypass or trick the computer while I wait.

It wasn’t crash related. I think one of the mounting bolts came loose, which put all the load on the bracket until it failed.

Anyway, check your kickstand bolts everyone!
