What The People Are Saying

I've been looking at the Aventure since version 1. The reason for the wait: the cost-to-"will I actually use this" ratio. I can now say resoundingly: YES. Absolutely worth it. I live walking distance to a national park and a bunch of off-road trails and dirt roads with great views. It performs great on pavement and rough terrain alike -- the only terrain I have a hard time with is soft sand, but I also might need to let a bit more air out of the tires. It's very well-made, and the software is also well thought out, I didn't even realize till today that it automatically mapped all my rides..

I chose the Aventure because we went down to one car over covid, and I wanted something that could be used for quick errands as well as off-road adventures. This feels like the perfect bike for both of these. Decided on the step-through model because I'm 6'1 and my partner is 5'9 - wanted one we could both try. Of course now we are looking at which model will be our 2nd purchase (Looking at you, Ramblas or Current).

My biggest complaint: I also got this to get more cardio in, but that Turbo mode is highly addictive! I have to remember to pedal and sweat! But it's good to know if I'm exhausted I can dial in a bit more help from the motor. I'm also bummed I didn't order just a few days sooner, I was looking during the Memorial Day sale but waited to put it on a new CC. Almost waited for another sale, but I'm glad I pulled the trigger, it's been great.

Also, it arrived in only a few days - I live in California and it shipped from a nearby city, but still, that was a surprise for a purchase this large with free shipping. If you're on the fence like I was, just get it.

Super easy to install, i did have to move my left side brake in a bit to make room for it. As expected, the throttle works a little differently on the ADV than it would on the REC, but I got it knowing that in advance. Still works well, I won't use it much but for the price it's cool to have!

A bike came in, non-working, and with the support the of Aventon employees, the bike is on the road again. Thank you very much for the help and needed parts to get the bike running again!

The kickstand came slower than I thought it would. I got it in June when I ordered it in like May 24, which took two weeks.

Wrong part

My kids love it. Took a little to install but feels very safe, kids sit backwards forwards sideways and always feel secure.

Wondering if anyone knows what size washers it uses so I can replace a few. Thanks!

This bike is awesome. Have 700 miles on it and rode across Missouri on the Katy Trail. Performed well. Took a spare battery and very quick to switch it out. Seat has become very comfortable. Been a road biker for decades and hesitated to get an e bike. My wife recommended the Soltera 2.5 and I'm so glad she did. Rode with a fairly large group of hardcore riders on the Katy and was able to keep up with any of them.

Works great

My son and I were both in the market for an EMTB. We test rode Specialized Turbo Levo 4's, Santa Cruz Vala, and I also test drove the Specialized Levo R. My son was set to purchase the Canyon Spectral ON:CF7 on the same day the Memorial Day sale started on the ADV. I stopped down at my local dealer, who had just gotten an EXP setup that I was able to test ride. Was pleasantly surprised by how well it felt compared the Levo 4 (as a side note, I was about to purchase the S-Works Levo 4 frameset when Specialized dropped the price since I already had 90% of the components I needed off of my analogue bike). The bike was nimble, had more power, and was a complete bike for the same price as the Levo 4 frameset. Left there thinking hmmm, so I texted my son that another dealer around us had a ADV in stock and I thought he should check it out before purchasing the Spectral. Drove up to the other dealer after work, he test drove the ADV and immediately purchased a XL in Camouflage. While there, I was eyeing up the EXP they had and just as I was about to pull the trigger, my son talked me into the ADV in a L Blue Onyx. I have not owned an aluminum frame bike in years, so I was a little hesitant. But for $2K savings, and I already knew I was changing out the parts to my personal build spec, I decided to take the plunge. Boy, am I glad I did! Never really rode the bike in stock configuration as I tore it down the next day to put my components on, but in current form, this thing blows me away! It's such a fun bike to ride. Very agile on the trails, the ups are as fun as the downs, very supple over the bumps, and the aluminum really feels nice underneath. And the frameset is very nice looking, very clean lines, and the welds are nicely done. My son's bike was torn down, and his personal parts were also installed on his. My large as is weighs in at 52 lbs, and his XL weighs in at 55lbs. Not bad at considering the carbon framed Turbo Levo 4 weight 56lbs!

My biggest gripe is with the battery tray and the way the cables/hoses are sandwiched between the frame and tray. Makes installing cables/hoses a little cumbersome and you have to make sure they don't get crossed when reinstalling the tray. No mind you, my rear brake hose is fully encased in Jagwire internal hose damper and so is the main computer cable to limit any cable rattle, bit it would be nice if in future revisions, you could incorporate internal guides attached to the battery tray so it would not need to be removed for hose or cable changeouts. Other than that, huge thumbs up for an awesome bike!

Are you going to be offering the mid drive cable to attach the SRAM battery cable adapter for those on the ADV models running AXS? That is the only thing I am missing to make this awesome bike that much better! Please offer the cable adapter for sale!

I went from having not rode a bike in like 10 years to wanting to ride daily. I spent months researching e-bikes and scouring the market for the best bike I could find. The moment I laid eyes on the Abound LR, I had a feeling it would be the bike for me, and lo and behold, I made the purchase. Not only is this the most aesthetically pleasing bike I've ever seen, but it is also the most fun I've ever had with a vehicle. The stock seat was too big, and felt like I was being spanked every time I hit a bump, but replacing it with a narrow one made this the most comfortable bike ever.

Mostly just countering a review that kinda seriously misses the forest for the trees here, BUT these foot boards rock! Had them on my abound LR now for just over a year, hardware was indeed preinstalled on the bike for easy access BUT, hardware stores exist in the event the screws have disappeared. Can vouch for the stout construction of these boards too, full-grown chonky adults can stand full weight on them with NO issue, though it probably isn't within the design spec. If'n you're looking for somewhere your passengers can park their paws, this is it.

Seems to work very well. At first it seemed like it might be a little loose when locking into the rack with just a little extra play.
But in use it seems rock solid and does not rattle.
Great option to easily remove baskets and coolers from your rack quickly.

This is Aventon's recommended freewheel.
I ordered it off the website.
I was able to install it myself with little difficulty.
So far, it works great.

Great bell

Best deal 🤝

Works great!!

Perfect accessory for my Level 3. No more back pack or gym bag. My Rack-Top Bag holds all my essentials and the quick release feature is the game changer.

I am very happy with my bike as it’s perfect for riding inside NY Central Park with few hills. I have put in 200 miles since April and plan to ride more often. My only desire is for a more powerful motor. Is there a possibility in the future to upgrade to a 350W or a 500W motor?

The bike has amazing suspension, a whole lot of range, and did amazing on technical trails. Definitely worth the purchase.🔥🔥🔥

This is my first e-bike and I love it. Assembly was so easy and everything works great. This Aventure 3 looks awesome and is so well made. I haven’t had much time to ride, but I did get a quick 2 mile cruise on pavement, little uphill, some gravel road and then back home which was downhill. This bike is so smooth. Sport mode is definitely my favorite so far. 😁

I’ve had my Adventure 3 bike now 6 months and it the most amazing bike I’ve ever had. I’m 60 years old and got the step three version. It was the smartest move I’ve made. I’ve had double knee replacement and it had to lift over. Would highly recommend the step through for people with leg and knee issues. I’ve gotten more exercise in six months than the last 6 years.

Service department is awesome with quick action and problem solved beyond my expectation thank you

I’ve had this bike for a week and really happy with it. Love the simplicity of it. Any chance there’s a compatible rear rack available or in the works?

Just finished the first 150 miles on the ADV, including climbs up to 12k feet. The bike performs flawlessly on the downhills and has power to spare on the uphills. The app makes customizing the power settings very easy and the auto setting allows gives you just enough power when you need it. I ordered the Current for myself and a Ramblas for my wife through Bike-n-sport in Santa Fe. Both are great bikes!

After many years of riding together (over 50years ) my son recommended maybe it was time to upgrade . The new pace 4 was our choice . My wife and I test road several makes and Aventon won out . A little hard to get used to because of the weight but in time got used to it and plan many more days riding . The Aventon dealer , Greensburg bike shop , was knowledgeable and friendly , and took care of all our needs .
