Aventon Current | One of Bicycling's Best Electric Bikes of 2026

June 15, 2026

We're Honored to Be Named Among Bicycling Magazine's Best Bikes of 2026.

Being recognized by the team at Bicycling Magazine means a lot to us. Their team of editors and testers spend hours on nearly every bike on the planet to provide you with a thoughtful and authentic viewpoint.

This year, two Aventon bikes made their Best Bikes of 2026 list: the Aventon Current and the Abound LR.

"We love bikes. Which is why choosing the “best” ones for you each year is both fun and challenging. There are more good bikes than ever right now."

What they said about the Current:
“Impressive value and a high fun factor. I was impressed by how well it handled unfamiliar singletrack. I was even more impressed after spending more time dialing it in on my home trails"

"The most unexpected and refreshing mountain bike release of 2026, thus far, the Aventon Current full suspension E-MTB performs as well as bikes costing twice its price."

"The user experience is another highlight. The Aventon app lets you tune ride modes and adjust settings to your liking, and the display offers plenty of data fields that are easy to change on the fly. "- Trevor Raab
