Aventon Aventure Range Test - Throttle Only

[@sourjyaguha]

I pedal all the time and stay mostly at pas level 2. Little bit level 3 or 4 when in hurry and prolly level 1 on trails... I'm around 215 lbs. An average ride for me has around 500 feet elevation. I get around 50 miles of range on a charge....very happy with that!

I’ve had my Aventure 11 months and have 2200 miles on the odo. Have done extensive range testing, fully loaded with 180 lb rider, 50 lbs on the rear and 12 lbs on front rack. 27.5 psi. Reduce speed limiter to 42kph and then pas 2 runs 14mph. On flat ground without much wind I can reliably get 40 miles with 10% remaining.

[@WisconsinAdventures]

I currently use my Aventure for 100% of my transportation needs- I am very pleased with the ranged I have been getting. I've own a Pace 500 also that I had before the Aventure, and now when I ride that I feel like the battery just drains very quickly. When I commute to work on my Aventure I use PAS 5 for a 5 mile ride, and when I arrive to work I'm usually at 80-83%. I only pedal and at max speed when commuting to work (I work thirds so there's almost no other bikes or pedestrians to worry about) and it's nice not having to lug my charger back and forth to work every night like I did with my Pace 500. Usually my Pace 500 was at 45-50% with the same commute. When I use my Aventure for errands I haul an Aosom Elite II cargo trailer (35lbs empty) I usually use PAS 2 when it's empty and if I have a load I bump up to 3 for some extra help and I can get 30 miles out of it and have around 5% when I get home. If I go out riding just for fun, I unusually use PAS 1 with moderate throttle use for hills and that obviously extends my range tremendously. Last weekend I rode 15 miles in PAS 1 and throttle moderately for hills and when I reached my destination I had 96% left. I then continued onwards for 25 miles (12.5 out and back) with PAS 0 and PAS 1 about 3 or 4 times for some road crossings. Then rode home in PAS 3 and 4 ( I was TIRED haha) and got home with about 35% left. So that trip I got about 30 miles with 35% remaining. I would like to do a test of where I ride in PAS 1 w/ moderate throttle until it's dead but I feel like I would die before the bike haha.

[@771shadowolf]

Wow that difference is huge between the pace and aventure. Might go with the second one. Switching from a road bike so a bit nervous but also excited haha.

I think your "throttle only" test is very accurate. We have two of these (his and hers) and yesterday we went on a 32 mile out and back on a paved bike path in the sierras where very little terrain is flat, when I finished I had 22 percent left. That said we have been riding mountain & street bikes since the early eighties and don't mind spinning along. Oh, nearly all of the ridding was done in level 2. Personally we are thrilled with these bikes, so fun to ride. It is so nice to look around and enjoy the scenery instead of looking down at your front wheel and panting while going up the steeper inclines. The 12 to 15 MPH average while putting in fair peddling amount is enough to keep you in a cooler breeze also.

[@bernievassallo3336]

Hi I wanted to ask how you are liking your aventure and how it does throttle only up hills? … thanks and God bless you!

[@rogerf3622]

Good review. I have the Aventure. I’m 6’1”, weight 185 lbs and ride about 14 miles everyday on mostly level streets. I usually ride about 15mph (level 2) so I can to keep cool. I pedal but not hard at all. I have a lot of stop and starts to obey the traffic signs. The battery on average has about 89-91% charge left at the end.

[@johnlewis6880]

Based on your very helpful reviews I finally settled on the Aventon Aventure step through and it was delivered a couple of days ago. Ihad been riding a big, heavy, 3 speed beach cruiser (Firmstrong Bruiser) for the past few years. Took my new, fully charged, Aventure for a 20 mi, round trip, ride down the beach cycle path. I tried to keep the effor, on my part, about the same as when I was riding my beach cruiser except for a few brief throttle uses on up grades and when passing other cyclists. I used PAS 2 and occasionally 3 when riding into the brisk sea breeze. I got back that energy okn the downwind loops on the bike path. I weigh 200 pounds. When I got home the batter was reading 88 %. That rose to 89% after the battery rested for a few minutes. My average speed was 11 mph I do wonder how accurate the percentage numbers are since, because the percentate rose slightly after the battery rested, they seem to use battery voltage as a way to measure state of charge. These batteries have a very flat discharge curve so those measurements, especially at the high end of state of charge, are very tiny differences in voltage.

[@leeroyglasscock]

can you please tell me what size i should get? i’m 6’0 and 240 lbs

[@rogerf3622]

I bought the s/m size for the Aventure and I’m 6’1”. The size is just fine for my height even if I was much taller. If you closely at the specs and the pics, the frame size for the s/m and m/l are virtually identical. The only difference is the minimum seat height and that is very close. I wanted a bike that could be adjusted not only for me but a smaller rider. I highly recommend the s/m for everyone.

Hi how are you liking your Aventure and how is it up hills throttle only?…thanks! God bless you

[@mrc1436]

Aventon claims 27 miles throttle only for Aventure on level ground. My guess is they would also be running tire pressure about 25psi cold tires, that is very accurate. If you ride in level 1 peddle assist at 11 mph you should get about 53 miles

[@jwindham09]

Seems accurate, 24.5 with pretty steep looking hills.

[@markcrew3696]

Thanks to your videos I went on a head and ordered this bike I've been pondering it now for a year but I can't find a better bike for the money and I'm excited to get it. I went on ahead and took the plunge. I weigh 240 lb 6 ft tall so I need to get this bike to lose weight LOL so I expect my range to be so so. I plan on peddling too. If the bike only goes 20 miles an hour throttle only I'm okay with that I'm not looking to become a speed demon. Thank you for the videos and helping me finally make that step. Also on Aventon website they do give a close accurate range test to the public. And from what I hear they are pretty accurate average range test.

[@woodsculptor675]

Throttling eats through the batteries on both of my e-bikes! I try not to touch the throttle unless going up a mean hill, then I just feather it. I get decent range.

I haven't been able to go on a full range test to deplete my Aventure to zero yet because it's hot in southern Louisiana.

[@timhardman4764]

Good Review. Another variable I don't think you mentioned is using the same track or same loop with the same stop and starting and braking due to stop signs, stop lights, traffic and pedestrians that force you to brake. I wish I could give you a piece of good data but I can't so here is a piece of not so good data. I have a Juiced Rip Current S with I think 52V and 19amps and I ride it with 15 lbs of tire pressure. I have it at another location where I left it in May of this year. Manual said store battery for extended periods at 50% charge. The day I left I think it was at 100%, and I ran it at full throttle, no pedaling for about 12 miles? I really don't remember the exact number but 12 miles sounds about right, maybe it was 15 ?? when it said 50% remaining or only half the bars showing. Does one get the same mileage from the first half as the second half of the battery?...it looked like you did on this one. The Juiced bike is heavy but has the biggest battery when compared to the ones you have tested. But again, all my data is from my memory, not precise and thus unreliable but generally in the ball park of the other bikes you have tested. If I ever do a 100% to empty test, full throttle, I'll share my precise data with you. I think Juiced makes some optimistic claim of 70 to 100 miles of range on this bike with this battery with pedal assist on lowest level.

[@2visiondigital]

Details: if one found the need could the thumb throttle be converted to a twist? Or is it a no deal?

[@lemix69]

It's not hard to change the throttle to a twist throttle, the controller doesn't care what type of throttle you have. Get a quality twist throttle though, Bafang's probably the best.

[@ruffdood6706]

In this video he says it’s a “throttle-only” range test. He tries not to pedal throughout the range test. No peddling, no gear changing needed. The throttle on Aventon bikes, as is supposed to be on any e-bike operating as a “legal” Class 2 e-bike, is limited (capped) at 20 mph. Many brands aren’t throttle capped, regardless of claiming to be able to operate in a Class 2 compliant mode. Basically, Class 1 is pedal assisted but No Throttle available and with a 20 mph maximum. Class 2 adds throttle-only assist mode (and allows pedal assist), but is also limited to the 20 mph maximum. A class 2 e-bike can be a 20 mph, throttle-only scooter (at PAS 0)! A class 3 e-bike can go 28 mph (though some don’t seem to cap there). Most definitions of Class 3 call this a pedal-assist bike classification, so technically in Class 3, the throttle can only be activated in PAS modes. These legal definitions aren’t “universal” it seems, and can vary by jurisdiction, so be wary. By the way, to be more clear you comply with Class 1, run an Aventon bike in Class 2 setting, and unplug the throttle cable. Usually just not using the throttle on Class 1 trails is sufficient compliance - intent. Legal compliance can be confusing. But it’s not often strictly enforced… often seemingly ignored… until it’s not!

[@mariae.6930]

I have 2 batteries and I weigh about 265. I have done many rides at 60 miles plus. I usually ride mostly in assist 1 to 2 and ocassionly 3. I get about to 53 miles before im at around 5% left then I change to the new battery. So I usually get 50 plus miles per battery charge.

The only place I could find them on the Internet was Australia for tektro HD E500 metallic brake pads. They are good brake pads they will stopping rain. I have to bleed the brakes again cuz I did not have the proper tools and I ended up getting oil on the rotor and brake pads. Really like to know which upconverting thing I need it's called the DC to DC up converter. If you go and buy one they have them it's $700. And that's with a 100 watt panel will I can get a 200 watt foldable panel for 225. Have you ever chased hydraulic brakes and try to bleed them? I know it's not rocket scientist but it sure is not as easy as the videos I watched LOL. I think it's amazing they can even go 20 miles on a battery and I wonder if the batteries inside the battery make a difference? Well mine has region and I Know It Works cuz I was riding the brakes all the time trying to get more Electric Power. And no wonder my brake pads are gone.

Question: I just built a Giant Talon E-Mountain bike. When I am going over 15mph my pedaling can't keep up with the motor. This is because it is turning a smaller gear up front. (36 Tooth). Yet you mention that the Aventon will get to 20pmh with throttle but pedal assist will take it up to 28mph. It doesn't look like it turns that large of a chain ring up front to be able to have your pedaling keep up with the motor. What am I missing that your pedal assist can take you faster than the motor? Thanks.

Your bike is designed for European laws 25kph

[@jrutman4441]

You seem bummed it only travels at 20mph on throttle. 2 honest questions. Why do you think you should be able to go faster. And 2, what do you think would be a reasonable top speed for a bicycle?

[@mrc1436]

Federal law and most states laws limit throttle speed to 20 mph. Anything more with the throttle requires the vehicle to be registered as a motor vehicle and not be a legal bicycle. That means registration, inspections, no using bike lanes and all the safety devices on a motorcycle like blinkers and brake lights

I agree with you. The max speed on full throttle is NOT a problem for me, & I live in LA/the valley. Being able to go faster (with PAS 5), is a nice option, but...it's not the reason I enjoy the bike so much. Going 17-20 MPH using PAS 3, is a nice cadence for me.

[@18andlikeit]

25 miles at throttle only is pretty good for a 70+ lbs bike imo..

[@usairkid]

Is the cyrusher xl 650 better than these other ebikes I’m thinking of buying one soon

[@CitizenCycle925]

i guess it depends what things are important to you. Cyrusher 650 has a strong motor, comfy seat, feels like a big bike, has color options, and shifting is crisp. Aventon has display with bluetooth, different frame sizes and colors, strong acceleration and power, hydraulic brakes, metal fenders, Himiway has big battery, good speed and power, cheapest price, rack included, Rad is the most upgradeable, and well known. and their are a million other options out there :)

[@davesevlife]

Why no front fender?

[@jasonrobinson9992]

Maybe a dumb question. Is that battery dead dead or is it dead to a safe percentage that the lithium battery can be used. ?

[@CitizenCycle925]

The system has a low voltage cutoff to protect it.

[@jaycee2775]

Isn’t the 20 mph a U.S. federal regulation on all ebikes?

[@catherinemunroe3960]

great job ,thanks

[@grumpy039]

Picked mine up 3 days ago and it's speed limited to 20 mph in pedal assist mode. How do you reset the speed limiter?

[@CitizenCycle925]

hold the "i" button for a few seconds and it will take you into the settings and you can change speed limit.

[@AdamMalsack]

I just received mine, and in order to change the speed limit I needed to connect it to the app on my phone and access the bike settings from the app. The speed limit setting is absent from the settings on the actual screen of the bike. Hope that helps.

[@Utalkin2Me]

You mention at the beginning the Aventure was limited to 20mph…correct me if wrong here, I thought if you ran throttle only in PAS 5 the bike topped out at 28mph. I’ll have to try mine tomorrow and find out I guess…I’m always peddling so I’m likely mistaken.

[@martinhooper6781]

Throttle only goes to 20 mph, level assist 5 goes as high as you can help peddle, even over 30 mph

[@mdubault]

If you were to re-do the Himiway Cruiser on throttle only and set the speed limit to 20 mph like the Aventon, I would guarantee that you would add another 8-10 miles to it's range.

[@MartinDee2000]

How can this be a Class II eBike if it can go 28 MPH? If having the ability to go 28 MPH isn't what determines classification (for a Class III), what does?

[@JRavenshaw]

It ships with the speed locked at class two levels, but can be changed to a class 3 by increasing the top speed via the control panel

[@johnm514]

Do you think the ebikeling kit you did on the rad rover will work on this bike?

[@CitizenCycle925]

The kit should work on just about any bike with the correct dropout width on the front wheel. You'll need another battery to power the front though, unless you original battery. Sure how that would be I would hate to ruin the wiring on the Aventon.

[@johnm514]

I ordered a kit off Amazon that uses a separate controller and battery. I planned on keeping it 2 separate systems like you did on the rad rover build. The spacing on the forks fit the wheel/motor I got sent but there are groves on the fork that allow for the oem washer and nut to sit in. The new washer/nut for the hub motor don’t fit into that groove because the bolts are slightly wider than the oem wheel. Hard to explain… if you still have the aventure can to take a quick look and compare to your rad. Hard to find any info cause the aventure is such a new bike and no one wants to mess around with them… I want to turn it into a hill climbing beast lol.

[@johnm514]

I’d like to order the ebikeling kit but I want to make sure it fits because I’m already stuck with this other kit I ordered lol.

[@CitizenCycle925]

@@johnm514 you'll have to measure the width of the front drop out

[@johnm514]

@@CitizenCycle925 the width of the drop out isn’t the issue I’m having with these kits. The oem bolt is a m10. The kit I received hub motor uses a m12 which is to wide in diameter for the washer/nut groove built into the fork.

[@rd.gerdes]

I'm interested in the fit, especially the reach to the handlebars. I have back problems and have some caution ordering something I've not been able to ride. Most videos people show the ride from the rider view (like a helmet cam)...and don't show how they sit or how the bike fits them. I'm 6'2" and am really interested in this bike, but, how will it fit me?

[@markcrew3696]

I've been pondering this myself I just went on a hit and ordered the bike the step through medium large. On Aventon website they do show measurements of the different sizes of the bikes so take a measurement of yourself and see how you would fit on there.

[@Johnny_Bee]

What gear were you in?

[@ricksattler682]

On battery power only, the hub motor is supplying the power and the chain is not in use. Since he's not using the pedals, gearing (or what gear the bike is in) doesn't come into play.

[@randallhoskins6243]

20 mph is plenty fast when your dealing with people, cars ,dogs ect

[@teeoh9192]

I agree. I got mine up to 31 MPH on PAS 5, & felt like it was too much, & not that enjoyable. If I wanted to go that fast, I should've just gotten a scooter. I STILL wanna exercise & enjoy the views! Can't really do that (safely) in the 30 MPH range.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Maybe the Aventon folks know about some upcoming legislation re e bike max speeds, since some of these are getting way too powerful with double motors and batteries and they're just getting too fast to use on bike lanes or sidewalks.

[@jimsrv711]

Needing to go faster then 20 with a throttle is the point at with you don’t need an electrical bike anymore.

Yes throttle only max speed 20 mph. If you want to hit 28 you have to use pedal assist

[@Zetler]

@@CitizenCycle925 Oh cool. That’s the opposite of my bike, I can totally see why they did it that way.

[@CoryZuspan]

Could you do a range test on your Biktrix? I have heard that due to always being able to be optimized gearing wise, mid drives are supposed to be more efficient than hub drives. It would be interesting to see in practice with a throttle only test what you get. I know that makes it a little tricky because you have to pedal to shift, but I don't think that would make enough of a difference that it would be relevant.

[@nwmetalbug]

First off you dont have to pedal to shift a mid drive the motor is spinning the crank. I have both a hub and mid drive I think the hub gets better mileage but the mid drive will climb a tree lol

[@tonycolletti8640]

Did your Aventon contact say anything about Increasing the Throttle Only speed??? Did u try to put the pedal assist up to 5 and try throttle only? Thanks. Great Videos.

[@jasteik]

I have this bike and it does not matter if you have it on pedal assist 5 or 1 max is 20 mph.

Petal assist 5 with full throttle and just rotating the petals without effort, it will then take off to about 30. Its a bizarre setup.

@@rogerf3622 if you are in pas 5 and pedaling, the throttle doesn’t help unless you are under 20 mph, you are wasting battery if you use throttle over 20

Maybe the batteries just not that healthy, I'm far from an expert on e-bikes but from what I've seen, it leads me to believe that leaving the battery on the charger overnight destroys the life. 24 is not terrible considering you didn't touch the pedals once.

[@mrc1436]

That battery is absolutely where it should be, throttle only at 20 mph cuts the normal range in peddle assist level 2 at about 16 mph in half It’s just how ebikes work. He could have extended his range a few miles on level ground and putting a bit more air in the tires (25 to 26 psi cold)

[@mjsmjs7905]

@@mrc1436 i agree with what you're saying about the battery, but fat tires, call your local mountain bike shop those guys have been using these tires for at least a decade. You don't want to go above 15 or 16 lb ever. With fat tires 26×4 the difference between 15 lb and 20 to 25lb is the difference between a couple Flats a year and a couple years in between Flats. I'm not an expert with e-bikes by any means, but I know about the tires. I just got my first fat tire flat. And I've been riding fat tire bikes on all different types of terrain since 2017 at least 2500 miles probably more. But don't take my word for it. It was until recently that they started putting on the side of the tire not to exceed 20 lb, but most of the fat bike tires from 3-4 years old all say 15.

[@buzznolabiketoursrentals3784]

The recommended tire pressure on the Aventon the Himiway and the Rad tires are all 30lbs max. It maybe that some older tires ran at 20 to 25 lbs max. On the street most people are running them between 20 and about 26 lbs. on dirt or sand they can be run much lower but it has a negative affect on range

[@mjsmjs7905]

@@buzznolabiketoursrentals3784 don't even know what to say other than that's dangerous advice. And those three bikes all coming with low budget tires. All the good tires from a couple years ago all say 15 lb Max, all the newer ones say 20. I've never gone above 13psi, 1 flat since 2017, that's probably because I should have replaced the tire a couple hundred miles before I did. But I'll give you the same advice I give everybody, talk to your local mountain bike shop the good ones have had at least a decade of experience with these tires.
