i"m a owner of one of these Aventon adventure 2 bikes and i haft to agree with what's been said here.have the cobalt blue with the step through setup... being older its so much easier getting on this bike and worth every penny of the investment. do suggest you get the 2nd battery when you purchase the bike, and affirm does work with them on financing your bike if you dont want to throw down all the cash up front...they forgot to mention that below the main screen is a hidden usb port that you can connect your phone up to and will keep it charged up while playing music or maps setup or whatever is going on, great idea and havent seen that on others id checked out...

Buying a bike isn’t an investment..

[@porterbrass]

Great review!! I bought this bike a month ago and really love it. I’m 6-5 so I needed a big bike. I agree with everything you say about the bike. I bought it thru a bike shop. They added a handlebar riser and it’s perfect for me. My wife and I ride together and have been having an awesome time. She rides the Level.2. Very hilly roads are leveled off with the power of the 750w motor. We bought the Hollywood Sport Rider 2 bike rack. Excellent. Very sturdy as it connects to a required 2 inch trailer hitch. Heavy bikes are easily managed by lifting the front tire onto the rack first then lifting on the rear. Half the weight. E-bikes have given us fun healthy entertainment. What’s best is how enthusiastic my wife has become with getting out and riding the bikes together on a sunny day. BTW- yes they will go 28mph. 8 gears is adequate. It’s plenty fast and the fat tires help it to feel stable and safe at any speed. Thanks again for a great review!

[@alsma1]

How many miles do you usually get in range with pedal assist?

[@porterbrass]

@@alsma1 range depends a lot on outside temp, your weight, cargo, road surface. I’ve only ridden this winter and spring with colder temps. I weigh 230. Maybe on the road in 50-60 degree temps, I’ve been going 30-40 miles total with a moderate level of assist. (Eco or touring). I have gone off road a little and that seems to drain the battery more.

[@PeterFries-i9x]

I've had mine for one year this month. The review was spot on. Like other reviewers, if you would adjust the seat properly ( higher) you'd get more power to the cranks. You should only have a slight leg bend when at 6:00 .

[@FleshWound42]

apparently the difference in size for Aventure , relates to the seat post only. the small and large use identical frames.

[@jamesbonham5383]

My Aventon dealer said that isn’t true, because I did questioned him about similar comments that I had read, and he said that there is a difference in the frame size not just the seat post length.

[@PeterFries-i9x]

The frames are identical. The large has a slightly taller seatpost.

[@PeterFries-i9x]

Correct

[@Celestialrain23]

Just bought this bike with 440 miles used for 800$. I don’t own a car so this is my new daily driver

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

We now live in Colorado Springs and there is a lot more elevation change in paths than our previous city of Orlando. To help her adjust to the altitude, I'm looking at possible e-bikes for my wife. I have a standard hybrid bicycle and I want something she could use for fitness but also have some power to help her keep up with me or take over when she gets too tired. While expensive, this might be the e-bike for her.

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

Update - we ended up getting the Pace 500.3 instead. The Aventure.2 was way too heavy for her and even for me. I would be a real struggle to put on a bike rack and transport around places. I just ordered the Aventon Ramblas - which is their first eMTN bike with a custom 100 nm motor - for myself. Looks like it is getting good reviews overall - you guys might want to check one out.

[@rickgrimes695]

I brought my Aventon Adventure 2 in May from Fun bikes in Modesto California. I love this bike great review.

[@marklaughlin7079]

I bought my bike at the exact same store but I burned my motor up on an 8 mile steep gradual climb on a paved road near Cherry Lake. I only had 67 miles on it and had it for a month. They sent off for a new motor.

[@robertmartin842]

I've had my bike about a month and smile every time I go for a ride. Just needs rear shocks.

[@jjdogg03]

Can you ride in the rain or should I try to run from the rain if it starts? Would it affect the bike in any way riding in rain?

[@marklaughlin7079]

I bought an Aventon Aventure 2 a month ago. I had 67 miles on it and burned the motor up on an 8 mile hill climb at the 3,000 foot level in the mountains. I climbed up the paved and steep mountain road in Eco mode and in first gear. I had to coast or peddle non-assist 8 miles back to my car. My friend’s Walmart $600 250 watt mid-drive Hyper E-bike made it up the hill and my Aventon didn’t. I took it back to the bike store and the mechanic told me that I needed a new hub motor. My bike has been sitting for a week now waiting for the new motor to come in. This bike cannot handle steep hill climbing for long periods. All the bikes I see get tested online are on short courses. They need to test the Aventon’s endurance on a much longer hill climbing course.

[@GNICHO]

Yeah the ramblas has a completely different motor for that reason

[@rlgrant00]

Do you have the Aventure or the Aventura 2? Big difference between them

[@marklaughlin7079]

[@jmel1746]

Great review. Rad Power Bikes exploded onto the e-bike scene in 2017 with the Rover and legions of copycats ensued. I ended up with a Rover and a folding Mini model and soon discovered a huge flaw in the company's marketing. To this day, they insist that their bikes use a 750 watt Bafang geared hub motor when, in fact its a 500 watt motor with a PEAK power rating of 750 watts. Big difference on hills, torque, top speed and flexibility. Enter my new fat bike, a very similar offering, the Himiway Cruiser. Himiway offers an unbranded, true 750 watt hub motor mated to a much better controller at a cheaper pricepoint. The Himiway's head unit can be programmed easily to increase the pedal assist levels from 4-5 up to 9 and to increase/decrease the top speed and delay or throttle tip in from the cadence sensor according to your tastes, local laws, etc.. I discovered the Aventon brand and they seem to be the new leader on the block, offering very nicely finished bikes with hydraulic brakes, torque sensors, color display and unique, industry-leading features like integrated turn signals and battery packs neatly integrated into the frame. If Aventon uses a true 750 watt motor, I'd say this bike would be my first choice in this segment, for sure. This bike forced Himiway to lower the price of the Cruiser to $1399 so there is that... Two notes I'll leave you with are suspension seatposts and tire liners. Nobody wants to change a flat on a 80 lb fat bike with no quick release hub while miles away from home on a ride. Don't delay on your purchase of Mr. Taffy or Tannus Armor liners immediately after your purchase. A good quality suspension seatpost saves, A) Your tush, B) Your wallet from upgrading to a much more expensive full suspension frame. You don't need a mushier seat, you do need a seatpost that is well engineered to soak up the bumps from crossing a grassy field or asphalt heaves, cracks, curbs, rocks and the like. You'll thank me for that tip, believe me! I hope you guys do a comparison of seatposts. The cost and engineering disparity is great. I opted for a spendy Kinect post and can vouch it was well worth the money. All my e-bike friends have now opted for some type of suspension post and tire liners. .

[@jmel1746]

😀 on "Mr Taffy"! Of course, I meant Mr. Tuffy...

[@MarcCoteMusic]

I kept hearing 'twerk sensing" and wondered just who this bike was for. LOL. But that torque-sensing 'feature' would likely be a con for me as my knees are finished and I would prefer to have the lightest amount of pedaling to do. Some pedaling, yes... but without significant strain on the knees and hips. Still, a good review, Z&J.

[@porterbrass]

I think that you’d have no problem. It can be as easy as you’d like with different levels of power. I’ve ridden both cadence and torque sensor setups and highly recommend the torque sensor type. It’s like riding a normal bike with superpowers. The big benefit also with torque sensor is you have variable speed capability. You can peddle at a crawl speed and the bike will only increase speed with a little more pressure of your peddling. With cadence sensors- as soon as you rotate the peddles, your speed setting is fully ON. If you have any doubt, do a test ride and you’ll be able to feel the difference.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

@@porterbrass- thanks for the info.

[@porterbrass]

@@MarcCoteMusic I forgot to mention- the thumb throttle will get you up to 20mph with no peddling! Actually the only time I use it is just to get rolling before I start peddling. It’s tuned perfectly for fun and safety in my opinion. I test rode a Velotric Nomad and the acceleration was so so quick it actually felt a little unsafe. Good luck with your search.

[@DanaTheInsane]

[@chrisE815]

I have the Juiced RipCurrent S- very similar on paper aside from 52 volt- but I'm excited to see more torque sensing bikes on the market!!! I wonder if the Aventon is geared high enough to pedal at class 3 speeds like the Juiced is.... I wasn't interested in a fat bike, but the Juiced went on sale, I purchased it for the torque sensing and upright position. So far, it's been a great bike, but I have only had it a few days. Torque sensing is SUCH a better experience in comparison to cadence.

[@porterbrass]

I almost bought the ripcurrent s. It seems like a great bike and available in large frame. Hope it serves you well!

[@musicmann1967]

This seems to be a great bike. I've watched a lot of review videos and on the whole, most reviewers are very positive about it. My only reservation would be battery size. More and more fat tire bikes are offering larger batteries for extended range, and that's amazing. With a bike this big and heavy, I wouldn't even want to imagine what I'd do if I ran out of juice. Even if I never ride for the whole estimated range, I'd like to have that extra large buffer of miles in my back pocket, avoiding "range anxiety". I might wait to see if Aventon offers a bigger battery in the future. Otherwise I'd buy it today!!

[@deltaboy2011]

Yeah I want to get an e-bike in future but still not to costly and around 2000 dollars for let’s say 100miles range and around 35 mph. This buy shows what future bikes will be. Just waiting a little bit longer.

[@musicmann1967]

@@deltaboy2011 There are a few bikes out there that will go over 30 but with battery technology as it is right now, to get a 100 mile+ range would require two pretty big batteries. I THINK there are a couple like that out there, but they're more than $2K.

[@ronbolejack1803]

So what is the range? I don't think you gave a range for the last one like this

[@chad485]

@@benjaminduerksen9568 I know this is an old thread but I have been looking at this bike for some time now and I’m finally convinced I’m going to get one. I have a question though. My wife and I may share this bike and I’m wondering about frame size. I’m 5’11 and she’s 5’4. Obviously the large frame would be too large for her so I was thinking of getting the regular size frame but I’m wondering if it would work for me since they say the regular size frame range shows for a person up to 5’10. Any advice would be much appreciated and also is the bike still holding up well for you? Thanks!

[@gbiker86]

Been reading about brake issues…noise caused by alignment?

[@PatternRecognition-s2p]

I just got my Aventure 2 in May. I really like it. The most important thing to do is put some FlatOut in the inner tubes. Ebikes can take you far afield and fat tire ebikes are prone to flats. Getting a flat tire far from home is major bad news especially if it is the rear tire. The grips are non ergonomic and the riser stem is non adjustable, making your position more forward and less upright. I replaced the grips. And replaced the seat with a cloud 9 on a suspension shock. Solid bike. Good Range. Good Power. If you want to replace the bike stem for more upright position, you will need to find a place to mount the head light which attaches to the bike stem. The hydraulic brake lines are short so you may need a shorter adjustable stem I'm using a the Satori UP3 65mm. But the Satori UP2+ 65 mm would be better since it is made specifically for ebikes, but it is not in stock. Another disappointment is the rear rack. It has no quick connect or disconnect like Topeak, or Ibera. The flat metal top makes if difficult to size panniers correctly. Aventon is currently out of battery panels for the new colors Blue and Slate and has been for over a month. Something to consider if you decide to get the spare battery. I got the step through version, since my bad knee makes it hard to throw a leg over the seat.

[@ceeIoc]

Weird, I read the opposite. Fat tires are less prone to flats.

[@rickbishop5871]

Why do so many people keep the seat so low. Very inoficient peddling.

[@MeaganEater]

They need to offer a version with Beach Cruiser handlebars. Then offer hard side carry bags or leather carry bags. Then offer a headlight bar with side fog lights that point down and out to the sides. This way I can have one that looks like the WW 1 motorcycles, but is an eclectic bike.

[@GoodEnoughVenson_sigueacristo]

Lol, it seems that every bike you’ve reviewed recently has instantly gone to the top of my next bike list. The pace of improvement is almost frightening. I preordered a Propella v4 back when it was the best e-bike under $2000. It was my primary mode of transportation for two years, and at the end of that time it had been outclassed by several other bikes. At this point, I don’t know if I could even get $500 for it.

[@gsgriffin]

*** WARNING !!! **** Bought this after seeing many good reviews. Be aware that their battery BMS is AWEFUL. In the instructions it says that you must disconnect the charging battery within 2 hours of fully charged and never more than 12 hours. In other words, plug it in and check every hour until done?!?!?! REALLY?!?!? If you ride and want to plug in and forget it until the next day, this is NOT THE BIKE FOR YOU. Everything I own...literally everything with a batter can be plugged in and forget it without a problem....except this very expensive bike.

I like the idea of an electric assisted bicycle. Nicely engineered but we've lost the 'environmentally friendly' part when we make an 80 pound bike. Why 4 inch tires? Cut the weight by a third require more rider input and double the mileage with the same battery. You're making cushy and we need responsible.

[@cal4625]

I'm a 60+ guy who lives in the rural part of a fly over state. I presently ride a Lectric xp 2.0 ST and love it. I ride for fun and also as a way to get a little exercise. I am not the least interested in carbon footprints or the number of trees I supposedly save by riding an electric bicycle. The rear turn signals are little more than a gimmick. I would never trust my life to them being seen by motorist. A high viz adjustable amber flasher would be a more practical addition on the rear. I would love to upgrade to a full size tire ebike like the Adventure 2 but these gimmicks tend to shy me away.
