I see you made this video a year ago. I've been looking into bikes recently and watched your review of the Ramblas before this one. In this one I noticed right away that the motor seems much quieter on the Aventure 2, and the bike doesn't have the annoying rattle/clattering sound that I've heard in multiple Ramblas reviews. Thanks for sharing these reviews.
@scotthardesty Ай бұрын
You are correct. It doesn't make the rattling noise but the Ramblas is ton of tun on trails like this. I feel I can do big drops and jumps with the Ramblas and also it would approved at most single tracks. My Aventure 2, not so much. I wouldn't trust for big jumps or drops.
@user-oy3gf7kg2b 25 күн бұрын

That video just confirmed what I knew all along- MTB riding isn't for me. LOL I got "motion sickness" watching but since I have never been on a trail, I couldn't help but keep looking. Exciting & good to know how it went with that bike. I have heard torque sensors were not good for hills, so now I am a little confused..... I want a small/folding bike due to space constraints when storing during winter but I also need gravel/off-road/snow/ice worthy tyres on a bike that can take a few steep hills on my way to/from work but at a reasonable price that evt. can be tuned to conform to "EU" standards. It isn't easy to find.

No worries man. Sometimes you just need someone looking at things with a different perspective. I don't know where you live but these batteries don't like the cold weather so mileage is not near as good as it will be in the summer. Glad I was able to help. I have the tan cover (since my A1 is tan) and it looks decent. I only use it on the long trips when I have exhausted the gray battery. All is good my friend.

Hey Scott I ended up getting a Nomad 1, I am having buyers remorse after seeing the torque sensor was added to the aventure lol. Dont get me wrong I enjoy riding my Nomad which is all that should really matter.... but in your opinion do you think it is worth the upgrade to sell the Nomad and buy an Aventure 2? (I don't ride on trails too often, mainly around town/park on paved surface)
@scotthardesty Жыл бұрын
I love my Nomad 1. I was riding it just the other day. One thing I have noticed about having a torque sensor is that you have to put more effort into it. When I retired from the Army, they awarded me as 80% service disabled because of my back, knees, grip and other things. I notice that if I ride the Aventure 2 a lot, my knee will start acting up some due to me not quite used to shifting into the right gear. I would say that since you don't do the crazy stuff I do, that you stick with the Nomad, especially if you have any knee issues that a torque sensor might aggravate while getting used to it.

That Trek also has much smaller battery (625W compared to Aventons 720W). I see the 8S as being much more of a trail bike and I wouldn't see it being that great in the city. Although I could be wrong. I also don't see where it has a throttle either. I myself just purchased a Giant Trance X E+3 but I only plan on using it on the trails.

@@scotthardesty yes, lack of throttle is an issue, as well as price. I haven't ridden a bike with the wider tires yet. My use will be on country pavement roads and on shoulder lane along 4-lane highway to connect with county roads, nothing off-road. I need more speed on that highway segment. I was impressed by the test ride I got to take on the Allant, but I'm seeing lots of videos of Aventure getting above 30 mph. With Allant I only got up to 25 mph on test ride. I was just beginning to look then, was thinking Electra brand until that day. The torque on Allant was much better than the Electra. However, the 80 nm on this Aventure is very close to the 85 on Trek. Good to know. Thanks.

What size bike did you get with the A2?
@scotthardesty Жыл бұрын
I'm 5' 9" so the regular fits me perfectly. I should have gotten the smaller size A1 as the Large was to big for me.

@@scotthardesty Thanks. I am 5’11” and struggling to make the “right” decision on size. Comparing it to another bike I have, I would say Large, but ….

Have you tried pushing the throttle, it’ll be cool.
@scotthardesty 3 ай бұрын
Of course I have. Half the trail was used with throttle. I bounce between throttle and pedaling. Throttle is not going to get you up those big hills tho.

You could upgrade brake rotors and pads. Or just all the braking to 203 mm higher end brakes. Good you have a skid plate.. Same one on my Kepler fits.
@scotthardesty Жыл бұрын
If I was to upgrade them, it would be 203 rotots and 4 piston brakes, but I was able to get it all worked out with customer support and my brakes are spot on again.
@EricJaakkola Жыл бұрын
Seems like all the aventure videos have brake rotors that chirp like crazy.

Mine doesn't do it now. Aventon got it all sorted out with warranty support.

That floppy kickstand would drive me nuts. It needs to be removed or tied up with some velcro.
@scotthardesty Жыл бұрын
Velcro for sure.

So the motor only works when you peddle ?.

No, it has a throttle as well.

@scotthardesty TY Sir. Just priced my aventure 2 yesterday. Your videos definitely persuaded me into getting one. Now I just need to find a way to tell the boss at home.

Love the bike design kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

ike is not designed to do "real mountian biking" . its meant to be used ona dirt road and the street. Way to heavy and poor components.
@scotthardesty 8 ай бұрын
I know. I would never attempt any drops or real jumps with this bike. I have a "real mountain bike" but I wanted to see how this would handle.... and as you can see, I was pleasantly surprised.
