Aventon Abound | First Impressions of Torque Sensor Cargo ebike | $1799 (On Sale)

[@OnRappel]

It has a "suspension seatpost?" Or do you mean it just has a dropper seatpost??

[@Top5ebikes]

Dropper! Thanks for the clarification

[@JohnQ85]

Thank for review. When did you order the seat cushion? I ordered mine a week ago and haven’t received it (hasn’t even shipped yet).

[@Top5ebikes]

I just received it so it was about 3 weeks I think

​@@Top5ebikes Does the seat cushion help? I was thinking about getting a chopper style seat to put on here instead of the stock seat.

@@Strickalator it's helpful for older kids or smaller adults. My older daughter rides using the cushion.

Hi Really nice review. Please suggest me I am confuse in between lectric expedition and aventon abound. I test ride abound really smooth ride never test ride lectric.

[@Top5ebikes]

The abound is a great ebike and I personally like it better so far. that said, it depends: If you wanted to spend $1400 or less or wanted dual batteries for $1699, I'd say you should go with the Lectric. Otherwise, I'd definitely say the Abound is a better all around cargo ebike.

[@damnbrosky]

hi tell me what causes this huge bike shaking ? It looks like front of bicycle is moving in every direction. Its camera mount problem, or bike itself is not stabile? It really looks like vibrations on the bike, coz your shadow and rest of video is steady.

[@Top5ebikes]

Hi and thanks for the comment...yes, you're correct about the camera shaking . The GoPro is mounted on a pole so it's the camera. You can see much clearer in the front facing view at the 22/23 second mark at the beginning of the video.

Looking to get one and the 20mph limit takes it out of the competition for me.

[@Top5ebikes]

I understand the limit but also think Aventon (just like they've done for all their other ebikes) should have let owners edit the PAS speed up to 28mph. The Lectric XPedition is a good option with a higher speed than the Abound. It's also affordable ($1699 for the dual battery option)

[@kcovert3]

@@Top5ebikes Maybe they will change their mind, haven't bought yet. Hope it's not because of design where it becomes unstable over 20. Also looking at Hovsco Hovcart and Aipas A6.

Change the speed to 28 in the settings on the app, regardless of doing this watch out for the weak rear axle. I bent mine in less than 500 miles.
