Equipped with a 750 Watt rear hub motor, 8-speed transmission, eco mode for increased mileage, and an innovative torque sensor that adjusts to your pedaling manner for a safer and intuitive ride. The bike also includes a phone app that gives in-depth insights about the bike. Some drawbacks include the lack of hooks for panniers on the rack system and a rotor that required truing.

"The New Electric Bike Everyone is Talking About: Aventon Pace 500.3 Initial Review" -
The Pace 500 eBike's third version performs well in long distance tests, with great seat design and overall comfort, despite a lack of front suspension. Its battery lasts for about 30 miles, though power reduces significantly under 10% battery level. There's an issue with squeaky breaks, and overall performance is yet to be tested in warm weather.

Haoqi Cheetah: Double Battery, Full Suspension Review -
Despite its weight, the Hachi cheetah full suspension bike performed well on an actual mountain bike course. The full suspension system worked great and made the ride comfortable, but the bike's heaviness and length made it challenging to manage on jumps and hills. While there were minor issues with the throttle and shifter, they did not greatly hinder overall performance
