What are electric bikes?
To put it simply, electric bikes, also commonly known as ebikes or e-bikes, are like traditional bicycles, but have a battery-powered motor. Electric bikes can help riders climb hills easier, ride at faster speeds, transport cargo and other essentials, or ride further distances without tiring quickly due to pedal-assist or throttle features.
Riding an electric bicycle is the same as riding a traditional bike. The main difference is having the option to receive different levels of powered assist from the motor to make pedaling easier, or rely solely on the throttle to propel the bike for you without needing to pedal.
Electric bicycles are typically categorized into three classes.
Aventon’s selection of electric bikes for sale are typically Class 2 electric bikes. Select Aventon models can be modified into Class 3 ebikes, whereas all Aventon ebikes can also operate as Class 1 ebikes with the throttle unplugged and removed.
While Aventon predominantly produces electric bikes for adults, US federal regulations list that riders who are 16+ are of legal age to ride an electric bike. When shopping for electric bikes for adults, young adults, or teens, it is always best to consult with your local regulations to determine the safe, legal, minimum riding age for ebikes.
Furthermore, there are areas, such as national parks and trails, that prohibit the use of Class 1, 2, or 3 ebikes. When looking at electric bikes for sale, it is important to know what your intended use case is and comply with your local and federal laws regarding the permittance of electric bikes in select areas.

What types of electric bikes are for sale?
At Aventon, we know that ebikes are not one-size-fits-all. Nor are their intended use cases. That’s why while all of our electric bikes can be used to get from one destination to another, they have their own unique features. F
