Aventon Ebike Tire Sizes Explained
November 5, 2024
When it comes to electric bikes, the right tires can make all the difference in your ride. Whether you're navigating city streets, tackling rugged trails, or cruising along a scenic path, understanding the types of electric bicycle tires and their benefits is essential.
This guide will break down everything you need to know about ebike tires, from tire sizes and treads to choosing the best option for your riding style and terrain.
What Bike Tire Size Is Best for Me?
There are several classifications that can dictate bike tire sizes, and each one has their own benefits and disadvantages depending on your style of ride. These categories depend on whether you ride on or off the road, in traffic, or just around town.
Does Tire Size Matter on an Ebike?
Yes, tire size matters on an ebike. The size of the tires can significantly impact your ride quality, speed, and overall handling. For example, larger tires like fat tires provide better stability, more traction, and a smoother ride on rough or uneven terrain. They can also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing bumps and shocks.
On the other hand, smaller or narrower tires are typically lighter and more efficient, making them ideal for city commuting or road riding where speed and agility are important. They require less energy to maintain speed, which can help extend the range of your ebike.
Choosing the right tire size depends on the type of riding you plan to do, the terrain you'll encounter, and your personal preferences for comfort and performance.
Generally, the best tire size for the everyday rider is a larger one. A larger radius means more movement with less pedal power. The most common size on the road is a 27.5” tire. This is the standard for most Aventon bikes, including the Level and the Pace.
1. Aventon Level.2 Tires
When you’re going from here to there and back again it’s a relief to know your electric bicycle tires can get the job done. The Level.2’s 27.5” tires will get you around town and support the weight of groceries or panniers for your workday.

Highlighted Specs:
- ✓ 27.5 x 2.1”
- ✓ Butyl rubber, Schrader valve
- ✓ Hybrid tires
- ✓ Reflective sidewalls
The sidewall reflectors improve your visibility to make it easier for motorists and other cyclists to see you at night. In addition, Level.2 comes with a hybrid tire that can cover ground on trails and dirt paths, making those not-so-easy routes more accessible to get you where you need to be when you need to be there.
2. Aventon Pace 500.3 Tires
Generally, cruiser electric bike tires are a hair thicker than standard commuter tires. Given they can be wider, but not wide enough to be considered a fat tire, cruiser tires offer more control over the mobility of the ebike.
Pace 500.3 Ebike Tire
Highlighted Specs:
- ✓ 27.5” x 2.1”
- ✓ Butyl rubber, Schrader valve
- ✓ Puncture resistant
- ✓ Reflective sidewalls

What Size Tire Is on the Aventon Pace 500.3?
Pace 500.3's cruiser tires are perfect for those brisk weekend rolls around town or through your local park. These tires can also ride over minor bumps, potholes, and gravel that are common in everyday terrain. They come equipped with reflective sidewalls that improve visibility and safety on the road day and night.
3. Aventon Soltera.2 Tires
A lighter-weight tire means quicker acceleration and more agility around corners. The Soltera comes equipped with 700x35c Kenda tires, which is the European equivalent to a 29” racing tire. Side note: Kenda tires are quality-made road tires and have a long road life!

Highlighted Specs:
- ✓ 700c x 38c Kenda

- ✓ Narrow road bike tire designed for higher speeds and smooth roads
Though it’s a thinner tire with more minimal tread, it can really fly on smooth asphalt and concrete pathways. This is a great choice if you're looking to go long distances, zip around the city (up and down stairs without all the heavy lifting), or just get around town in a flash.
4. Aventon Fat Tires
If you’re looking for the road less traveled, a fat tire is the right tire for you. With a wider radius, it’s much easier to ride smoothly over rough landscapes.
What Size Tires Are on Aventon Aventure.2?
Aventon’s Aventure.2 and Sinch.2 models both have 4” fat tires that can go over sand, snow, mud and rocks with little effort.
Aventure.2 Fat Tire

Sinch.2 Fat Tire
Highlighted Specs:
- ✓ 20” by 4”
- ✓ Butyl rubber tubes, Schrader valve
- ✓ Large contact patch for stability and grip
- ✓ Dynamic tread pattern for all surfaces
Bigger tires improve stability, offer moderate speeds, and provide a shortened braking distance range. The only difference between these models' tires is that the Aventure has a 26'' diameter while the Sinch is only 20”.

5. Aventon Abound Tires
Choosing the right tires for a cargo ebike is key for a smooth and efficient ride. Since these bikes carry heavy loads, tires need to be sturdy and stable. Larger, wider tires are usually better because they’re more durable and absorb shocks, which improves control and comfort.

6. Aventon Ramblas Tires
Electric mountain bike (eMTB) tires are designed to handle rugged trails and rough terrain with ease. These tires need to be tough and grippy to provide stability and traction on uneven surfaces, from rocky paths to muddy trails.
With options like wider, knobby tires for maximum grip and shock absorption, the right choice can make a big difference in your eMTB's performance and your overall riding experience.

Other Tire Tips, Just in Case
As we close out this piece, we want to leave you with a few bonus reminders—just in case you needed them. If you’re wondering how to find the bike tire size of your ebike, be sure to look along the sidewall of your tire for the specs. It should be printed clearly so if or when you find yourself replacing your tire, you'll know exactly what to look for.
And, don’t forget to check your PSI levels before every ride. This can prevent flats and promotes the highest-quality and long-lasting life our tires can provide when well-maintained. If you're in need of a pump, check out Aventon's portable air pump and other ebike accessories that keep you riding at peak performance.
