Aventure 2 Ebike

Meet my needs

Thinking about buying this few questions, does it work on the sinch 2.5 how do I install it and Will be as bulky as it looks

Just received the new Aventure 3 and it’s absolutely amazing! High quality from top to bottom and it looks awesome too, Highly recommended.

I will try to keep this concise, but it's so amazing I just want to get all the info down for people on the fence about it.

This bike has been amazing and insanely fun to ride. I've used it to ride from NYC to NJ industrial areas to pick up or drop off vehicles at a mechanic shop. I've ridden this through mud, rain, snow, and sunny days, and it is comparable to my Canyon road bike in terms of fun. I took Electric Citibikes (bike rental program) almost everyday each winter for about 4 months because I would always dress to be warm but then be insanly sweaty when I got to work, so I would pay $3-5 each ride to not get sweaty, It would cost me about $400 a month and I realised if I just bought this bike I would save money so thats what I did, Its currently saved me over $2000 in rentals except I'll have it for a long time and continue saving. I realised this bike could do so much more, it allows me to ride anywhere, I can carry cargo, I can venture far out, and not have to worry if I just carry the small charging cable. It has become my battle bike, I covered it in stickers and locks, and feel like I can lock it anywhere and no one will steal it, yet I can still take it everywhere.

I use the pedal assist about 99% of the time, but only use the throttle about 10-15% of the time, so let's get started.

Battery life: *** (Depends a lot on ride style)
Ride quality without Battery: ***
Ride quality: *****
Ease of use: *****
Customization options: *****
Weight: **** (it's heavier with my lock and rack setup)
Riding Agility: ****
Component quality: ****

So in my current configuration, I ride with 2 separate large Kryptonite locks, a GoPro camera, a rear rack, and fenders. I can usually ride about 5-7 miles when using the "Sport" setting. I rarely ever use the "Turbo" setting as it's hardly needed and just gives a tiny bump for consuming much more battery.

I started having issues with the brakes at 874 miles and had them changed for hydraulic brakes, which I will say is a huge upgrade (Aventon should offer that as an upgrade, IMHO).

I used the tires that came with the bike until about 1340 miles, where I got 3 flats within a few days and realised it was the tires that had worn through so much that there was almost nothing protecting the tubes. I replaced both tires and have put on another 60 miles with no issues.

Recently, it has sometimes had trouble engaging the battery on some hills, but it always kicks in after a minute. Changing gears and hitting the throttle a few times usually kicks it in.

Once the battery drops below 50% I usually switch to Tour and that gives great power on flat ground for much less battery consumption I have ridden this 20 miles on one charge when only using "Tour" or "Eco" and in a few instances had to ride some hilly ground with no batter, due to the gearing when riding in low gear I was able to tackle some massive hills and while its not what I would call easy it was definetly on par with my road bike.

for a few months I had to ride to the hospital every mornign for some cancer treatment and I didn't love getting tired and sweaty for it so I would just cruise on the local bike path using only the throttle and slalom through light poles and go over jumps and it was amazing how much fun it was while having to go to something somewhat horrible.

Anyway, this bike is absolutely worth buying, but remember, this bike is a bit more for the cyclist who generally likes to pedal/bike but also may use it to transport stuff or just have a little bit of an assist when riding. I would say you can't ride it completely by throttle alone, as the battery and power in the rear wheel is lacking a bit of power, but if you don't mind using a little bit of leg power, you can pretty much go very fast while not necessarily breaking a sweat. I usually start from a stop by pedaling, and then use the throttle on flat ground, and it runs great.

I hope this helped people who were on the fence about this!

As old age crept up on me, I had slacked off of my riding, especially mt. biking, as some health issues were limiting me. I had to ease up, slow down, and take it easy. I didn't like riding this easy. I was hopeful that an e-bike would let me ride the speed and distances of some years back. To make it fun again. This Ramblas has done just that beyond my wildest dreams. The assist that it provides me is just what I needed.

The 3 adjustable levels of assist let me ride as hard or as easy as I want to. I never have to overdo it, which I was doing before. The adjustments available in the app, let me customize it exactly as I want it. This bike does it all. Mt. biking, road biking, commuting, you name it. It does them all very well. My other 4 bikes will now sit and draw dust.

I ride most of the time in level 1 assist. Just enough help so I can ease up a bit on the effort level. Level 2 will take me up most of the climbs I encounter. I've only used level 3 once, to speed home against a 25-mph wind. Level 1 also overcomes the weight of the bike, and the rolling resistance of the big knobby tires. This makes the bike very capable as a road bike. I no longer care about the wind speed or direction on a road ride.

I am 5ft. 7in. tall with a 31-inch inseam, and the medium frame fits me fine. My personal preference is for a more stretched out position, so I changed the handlebar stem from 40 mm to 80 mm in length.

Pros:

1. The smooth, quiet, adjustable e-assist is amazing. The power available is more than I need. The battery life is incredible. Two hours of mt. biking usually only drains 20% to 25% of the battery, leaving me 75% to 80% of battery left after I'm exhausted.

2. The components on this bike for the price are a great deal in my opinion. The drivetrain and braking systems work extremely well. Shifting is instantaneous, and braking is powerful and easy to modulate.

3. The overall fit and finish of the bike is a plus as well. A well designed and finished work of art.

Cons:

1. The Rock Shox Psylo fork is definitely a nod to achieving a price point. I am 200 pounds, yet I can only get about 70 mm of travel from this 130 mm travel fork. Even on big hits. The spring is way too stiff. Plus, it's my opinion that 130 mm is too much travel for a hardtail. The fork makes the bike sit too tall in the front end. I will probably be replacing it with a 100 mm travel air spring fork.

2. The dropper post is not very functional. The actuating lever works way too hard. I don't care for dropper posts in general (my riding style), and this one is worthless to me. I'll be replacing it soon.

3. The cables that are routed through the frame are constantly rattling around inside the frame. This is very annoying and should have been addressed in designing the bike.

Summary:

A great bike. I love it despite its few shortcomings. They can be addressed. I'm very happy with my purchase. I want to plead to Aventon to please make a dual suspension mt. bike that's as good as this hardtail. You make it, I'll buy it.

This bike is amazing. I’m a very green rider and this bike is so forgiving! I’m a 54 yr old female that is overweight and out of shape and it is getting me back on the road to good health. Very addicting.

Let it cap out at 31 or 32 mph like how some bikes can and I’ll gladly upgrade to this one.

This rack fits great on my aventon abound. I stick my son's backpack on it when doing pickup. My only issue is I got it for my dog and I can't find a basket that will fit on it.

I’ve never been a big bike rider and hadn’t owned or ridden a bike in 20 years. My husband bought me this bike so I could join the family on rides and I LOVE it. Easy to ride, comfy, helpful little boost when I get tired. Though, it’s also great to ride without using the electricity. I’ve been finding more and more reasons to take it out. I appreciate that it’s simple versus the minivan size e-bikes many parents ride around!

I bought this after getting my bride an Aventon Pace - she was highly reluctant to get one until she actually test rode one. Her response was, “OMG I LOVE IT!” And she immediately suggested I get one too. As a hunter I wanted something more suited to my needs, and I pulled the trigger on this one today! So far it’s been great in the street and light trails; I’ll try the farm this weekend!

Dear Aventon Bikes Team,

I wanted to share my positive experience with the new Aventure 3. After seeing that it was coming out, I decided to hold off on purchasing a **** tire bike, as I already owned a Level 2 that I bought last year. I was looking for something with **** tires offering a bit more power and better handling for some of the trails I frequent.

I am absolutely thrilled with my new Aventure 3! At 6 foot three and 225 pounds, the large frame (non step-through) fits me perfectly. I especially appreciate the ability to customize the power settings through the app, with Eco, Sport, and Turbo modes. Let me tell you, in Turbo mode with everything maxed out, this bike really moves!

While most Class 3 e-bikes reach 28 mph they sometimes require significant pedaling, especially with a torque sensor, the Aventure 3, even with its lighter and more streamlined 36V battery, maintains that speed with impressive ease. The 80 Newton meters of torque feels just right as well. Not too much not too little.

Beyond the performance, I've noticed the improved design of the bike – it looks fantastic. The addition of the suspension seat post was also a great choice.

I genuinely can't say enough good things about the Aventure 3. If anyone is considering purchasing a new **** tire e-bike, I can confidently say that you will be very happy with this bike.

Happy riding!

Sincerely,
Matt Begovich

I cannot tell you how much fun this bike is to ride. I use it to commute to work. I use it to explore my city and I use it to help fight some depression. You will fly on this bike. If you change the settings to go to the maximum speed it eats hills like I eat pizza. Not to mention the app and its features and security. The peace of mind it gives is priceless. I save so much money on gas and car insurance and car payments and I get exercise and enjoy the outdoors all the same I I found the brand that I will support continuously for the rest of my life.

I rarely give reviews. Im only inclined if the product is above or below expectations. This **** tire bike exceeds. Im a 68 year old retired guy. 6'3 215 lbs with limited mobility in left foot due to drop foot issues.
The accessibility of the step thru allows me to bike again with confidence and enjoyment. I bike between 14-25 miles twice a week if not more. The battery more than covers all my travels with great assistance when needed. I highly recommend. I thought 68 was possibly a bit old to start up again something I genuinely enjoyed. Bike riding. Those thoughts are now behind me.

The Adventure 3 is the Ultimate do-anything **** tire e-bike! I just received mine yesterday; installation took about 30 minutes, and then I was on the roads! I can't compliment the riding experience enough!

If you're on the fence, take the plunge! I promise you won't regret it.

First ebike purchase for me is the Adventure 3. This is a great ebike! It has changed the way I ride. I would highly recommend

This bike rack works great! Is there a ramp that connects to it to assist with loading. Heavy bikes…. getting older.

I have the Aventon Level 3 step through. I’ve always enjoyed riding but this bike brings it to a new experience. It’s just so much fun to ride and I can now keep up with my husband on his bike! I’ve been riding so much more and mainly use no assistance or eco mode. But when I want to go all out Sport and Turbo are awesome! So happy with this bike, you can’t help but smile when you’re riding it!

4500 mi and 317 hrs later. It is just an awesome bike. Motor quiet, torque sensor smooth as silk. Test rode a Velotric Discover 2 today. Good bike but I love my Pace. Keep up
The good work Aventon!

My friend wanted me to see his new e-bike (Ramblas), and I have never been a fan of e-bikes. I already have motorcycles I do not need another one with pedals. He insisted that I at least try his new Ramblas... big mistake... in 5 minutes I was hooked... incredible torque. The next day I purchased a Ramblas for myself and it is the most fun I've ever had on a MTB. Sold my Pivot and will probably never ride my Giant again. My big concern was the lack of an air fork, but the coil fork is surprisingly good. Installed Schwalbe's on my Ramblas so no more flats, great traction, & improved cornering. Do I love this e-bike? I have 842 miles in just over 2 months. My son-in-law is thinking of purchasing another E-bike, and he will ride my Ramblas tomorrow, my guess is he will buy a Ramblas.

This is not only my first eBike, it's my first bike in over 20 years. I'm actually mad at myself for not getting one sooner, and so glad I didn't go with some cheap off brand one. This bike is well built, beautiful to look at, and SO MUCH FUN to ride. I just relocated to Florida and have enjoyed riding the bike around my new city, checking out the fun trails around various lakes, and even taking to and from some local theme parks. I don't even want to use a car to get around if I absolutely don't have to, it's that much fun to ride. I go to bed every night, excited for my ride the next day.

Some small nitpicks. The app leaves a little to be desired, and even though it connected to my iPhone's health app, it doesn't seem to actually send it any info. The instruction video for assembly is out of date. I'll attribute this to the bike being on its way out with the new Level.3 being released, but it did make some parts confusing when assembling. Also, I wish the headlight has a wider throw on the light. It's really just lights up a small square of space. Lastly, the tires came way under inflated, and as it's my first bike in 20+ years, I didn't have a pump, so I didn't get to ride it the first day it came until I was able to purchase one.

Those are all minor nitpicks though. Overall the bike is amazing and I am so happy to own it. I can't wait for my many many rides to come.

Needed to use the supplied 30.9 adapter. Stock seat appeared to not have wide enough rails, but I loosely attached 1 rail then completely took apart the clamp on other side. Then put back together with the rail and it fit perfectly. Suspension adjustment at bottom of pole is 6mm Allen.

Had it for a month and am loving it. Only thing that was annoying is the rear breaks were really squeaking. Where I purchased it, they did not break in the breaks or tell me to do it. Once I figured out that, problem solved (i hope). If not, I will have the place I purchased from check it out at their 90 day inspection. I am 5'8" and got the large size. Seems to fit really well. I did swap out the hand grips for better ones and added a phone holder, which is great in that you can watch/track your ride with the GPS and the app.

I've enjoyed electric bikes for years, and I decided to get a cargo e-bike to ferry two kids to/from school and out and about. There are surprisingly few instructions or even photos of transporting children on these things. Suffice it to say, the full passenger kit for the Abound LR + backrest provide a comfortable seat/restraint for two smaller children while providing enough space for the rider up front. The power on the motor is also impressive as I can make it up steep hills with two kids in tow (~100lbs) and some effort. The bike feels sturdy, handles reasonably well (considering its size), and I especially appreciate that it has the leg guards and foot boards built in--I think it's obvious the LR will be used as a kid-hauler.

If I could improve anything it's that the stock seatpost is a bit short for me to get full extension on pedals at 6'1". I might change out the stock seatpost though it's not urgent. Another minor quibble is that the foot boards make it difficult to attach (and detach) a trailer as I use with my other e-bikes. But that's far from a deal-breaker, and it really is only because the foot boards get in the way.

All in all the kids love it, and I enjoy it enough that I sometimes use it solo to run errands. The built in kickstand lock + app makes it easy for me to lock it in place for a quick trip into the grocery store or similar. At the price especially this is an excellent overall bike and easy to recommend! Well done to Aventon.

Well the bike performs awesome great ride feel all around. The range has many variables and just getting to learn them. For long distance rides with lots of hills and lots of assist be ready for range anxiety. Remember it is a bike not a motorcycle. Definitely feel good about all the app features, bike lock is a great plus and easy to navigate even for an old dog like me. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable cruiser in all conditions. Going to get another battery to relieve the range anxiety. Besides that I can’t find anything. Thanks Aventon!
I’ll post again after burning man.
