On the range test, how fast were you going for 31.21 miles? And on pas 4 or 5?

Was just about to get the Commuter 2 but I think the extra $100 plus tax is worth it for this one.

I don't know how you got 31 miles??? I can't even get 20 good miles on my NEW aventon aventure.2 e bike??? And the kicker is I can't buy a new battery and get a sheet metal cover with it???? The company is too concerned about selling new ones they can't take care of sale a month ago?????

Why can you only get 31.21 miles and their specs say 50 miles?

What stands out to me is that Aventon is missing the Boat! Put the motor and battery from the Aventure 2 into the Level 2 commuter bike and Take My Money.

We're thrilled to hear you're loving it as much as we do!

Thank you, sir!

Much appreciated!

Glad you're enjoying it!

Enjoy it! Awesome name you have there, btw.

It's a good one to put on your short list

Where this came out I believe the Aventure 1 is on sale right now if that helps

What bikes are you considering now out of curiosity?

@@chadbrizendine2026 I bought a motorcycle 😅 Yamaha Xmax 300

@@_skud haha nice

Thanks for the sub!

We do. We're hoping to release that later this year. Small team and living docs like that get a bit complicated with all the other responsibilities.

Or do as Juiced does and offer the rider the ability to choose which mode to use. Except for their RipRacer, they come with both types of sensors, with the torque sensor being the default driver. However, you can tell the display to ignore the torque sensor and use the cadence sensor only. More brands should offer this ability.

@@chow-chihuang4903 I'd love to see that feature on the Aventure, but could they still keep the price below 2K?

@@allenwhitehead7246 The Lectric XPremium is an example of one. For $1,799, you get a dual-battery, mid motor (Truckrun, 65Nm peak torque) folding ebike. Juiced has a couple models under $2k with the ability to toggle between modes. There are probably more examples I can’t recall off the top of my head. I suspect my Ride1Up LMT’d could do so if the display’s software allowed it. It uses a Bafang bottom bracket with embedded torque sensor. It feels like it also has a cadence sensor as I can hear the hub motor engage at low power if I ghost pedal very lightly. With a torque sensor, you don’t even need a separate cadence sensor. All the software has to do is treat the signal from the torque sensor as an on/off trigger (probably need to set a minimum threshold to avoid accidental motor output) rather than as a multiplier factor as it does now. So, software changes are all that is needed.

@@allenwhitehead7246 And I literally feel your pain as I have a bum knee from blowing it out between soccer and basketball. 😅 Usually I prefer my bike’s torque sensor, but when the knee acts up or when I’m carrying a heavy load on the rack and towing yet more in a trailer, I’d really prefer a cadence sensor!

@@chow-chihuang4903 It's funny that you should mention the XPremium. It was the "previous ebike" I was referring to in my original post. I liked the range, the mid-drive, but to sustain speeds over about 22 mph required much more effort than I was willing or able to put in. That may have had something to do with the 500 watt motor. I believe that Lectric chose that power option to keep the price under 2K. As to the potential of better programming and more user-selected options, there is SO much room for improvement there!

If you want lighter weight and don't mind narrower tires, you might look at the Level.2. It has a lot of the same features, including torque sensor and suspension fork, and is a whole lot lighter.

Another reason to consider this route is that heavy bikes are hard to handle in off-road situations.

@@otterishly777 yes, been considering that ever since the level2 was announced. I do wish it allowed a slightly wider tire (into the low 3’s) but there isn’t much clearance to go much above stock.

They might have to change the downtube, yes. We're always torn on the buffer point. More = greater peace of mind for sure. But more raises the cost and weight, and might not be necessary for most people? It's a tough balancing act for sure.

@@ElectricBikeReport Yep, I did think about that. The cost would definitely be higher. That's tough, because they probably don't want to go above $2K for now.

There's benefits to fat tires even on paved roads. Wider tires make it more stable, and if you let a little air out of the tires it can be a soft ride. I think the Aventure has a bit of a power advantage if you like more speed, where the Level does a better job of coasting and gets around a little easier in lower PAS.

I just got and Adventure 2 and rode thought shin deep water & mud. The fat tires really help the bike from not sliding out and the power of the class 3 pushed it through 300 yeard of mud and water that I thought I was gonna be stuck and walking it out. So even on flat ground it’s worth it.

I bought the 2022 version at $1600 from a dealer that has treated me very well. I live around many different hills and going up the roads are much better than going downhill. I feel I’m going to wear the brakes early and I think it would really help it there was a re-genitive braking though the motor.

Feels like this one has a bit more giddyup on the Level.

That toque on the aventure 2 gets you going off the line faster

If you’re referencing the step through (ST) vs this version, it is a preference thing. Step throughs are easier to mount as you don’t have to swing your leg so high to get on, and shorter riders to the frame height may prefer that ease.

Most people would say yes, but it's a preference thing on the torque sensor. The more natural feel is nice, but some people with limited mobility actually prefer cadence sensors.

Thanks for the feedback! It has a key that allows you to remove it from the frame, and yes, you can charge it off the bike.

Ours was a large

@@ElectricBikeReport I have a 30" inseam and 5 11" should i go large or regular, ordering today, so please respond. Step through

@RilvX agreed. We can hope

How do you turn it into a class 3?

In the app

5'11" team members say the large was great

PAS is now Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo. Was tested in Turbo, averaged 16.2 mph in a class 2 setting and it was performed on bike paths so lots of slowing down to be courteous to other riders.

Sounds like you definitely know everything about e-bikes. I need help. Every “best e-bike list” is different. I’m looking for something to ride to work which is only a few miles BUT I might wanna DoorDash/UberEats when I’m in downtown Charlotte so I want something with longer range/long battery life and can go higher than 20MPH. I’ve seen 28 is max on most, can I go higher? I don’t plan on riding the bike in woods or trails, mainly just street roads. All under a $2,000 budget? Possible? Any recommendations?

@@luisc5323 for what your looking for id say the lectric xp 3.0 with the standard battery for $1000 would be the best and if you want more range add a battery from amazon www.amazon.com/Battery-Electric-Scooter-Lithium-Waterproof/dp/B09GF287D1/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=3VCFN5W7W98K&keywords=ebike%2Bbattery&qid=1676759262&sprefix=ebike%2Bbayyery%2Caps%2C236&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1 You will need to get the $50 battery balancer and your set. The lectric xp 3.0 standard will come with a 10ah battery and you can add another 10, 15, 20 or more ah battery as you choose. The bike is quick when unlocked 28 mph, is not too expensive, and is backed by a quality usa based company in arizona. They have a bike repair shop network all over the usa. To unlock the bike you hold + and - scroll to P08 and set to 100 for max speed. You will find for everyday commuting you will probably stay in the 15-20mph range anyways so yea there are bikes like the keplar or the wicked ebike that can go over 35mph but its not really ideal to go that fast on a ebike anyways plus technically its not leagal either. The lectric is 100% legal everywhere so you wont have to hassel with the cops if it becomes an issue. Get a quality seat, suspension seat post, and light not the ones sold by lectric. Just get the bike from lectric they do come with a free passenger seat right now which is fun that goes on the 150lbs rack that comes welded to the bike frame. The bike folds so if you are 10 milea out and the thing breaks down just call and uber fold it up and your home cant do that with other non folding bikes. The motor is 500w but keep in mind it oeaks and 1000w so it is powerful. The throttl only is upto 20mph and 28mph if you are peddeling hard in pas 5.

@@luisc5323 ~~~I believe the laws are controlling the Wattage and Speeds that e-bikes can go .

35-40 mph is illegal all over the U.S. So having the extra wattage and speed doesn't really help anyone. Maybe the maintenance side of things you have a point on, but Aventon is trying to stay within the limits of the law lol

I wish someone answered you bc I’m in the same boat

@@harvey9277 i went with different bike and are really happy with my choice

@@TheRipperXGaming nice. what'd you go with?

No. You won't damage the gears with a hub drive motor, but you'll still have the best performance if you shift to the proper gear.

@@nukeelec 👍🏼

Edge goes to the Aventure. The Basalt has more raw power which is fun, but we like the more dialed in feel of the Aventure 2 (and it's not like it lacks for power). If you don't forsee getting the inverter or solar panel for camping or something on the Basalt, the Aventure 2 gets the nod for us. You aren't going wrong with either one though.

6'1" 230 lbs.

Shouldnt be a problem. Im sure your legs are pretty strong which will help with a torque sensor. Of course you will burn more battery on hills especially and more brakes in general but hopefully the more you ride the less your weight will be an issue..🤘✌️

@@ethancntower8850 thank you, I actually ordered the bike yesterday.

I think so. We have two 6'5" riders who ride the large frame and say the feel comfortable.

@@ElectricBikeReport I’m prob in the DIY category, but I prefer a ready to go and able to be serviced at the local bike shop bike. Planning on buying 2 tomorrow for the wife & I.

Not that we're aware of

We haven't ridden any Hovsco bikes so couldn't really say one over the other out of fairness. However, on it's own the Aventure 2 proved to be a phenomenal bike.

@@ElectricBikeReport thank you for the reply. I went today and rode both the adventure and adventure 2. Without a doubt, the torque option on the 2 was vastly better for me. The v1 felt somewhat out of control and not in tune when doing a turn or U turn. I felt it was deciding when to apply power and on gravel, it kicked out in me. Not a good thing for me. So, I bought the Adventure 2

🤦

ugh....just when I think I've narrowed it down......Ariel Rider steps into the light. The specs look great down to stainless 12 g spokes. I love the large battery and motor. How's the quality and customer service? I'm willing to compromise on less hub and battery power for awesome dependability.

@@wkw4095 Kepler is fast and powerful. The customer service is fine if you don't mind a wait to get results. Not a fast fix to get a message in and responded to with parts. One guy just got one... Has some videos new. Senior E Bike Nation.

Yes it does

And its use is to lock the battery into place? Sorry, I'm new to ebikes, and I want to fully understand how they work. In order to protect against theft and such.

Sounds like yours needs some tuning. It depends: if you can get good resale value on your current one then sure, it's a good bike made better going from 1.0 to 2.0. But if you're not getting good return selling it used then it's not the type of thing that's worth taking a $500+ haircut on.

@@ElectricBikeReport I actually bought it from costco so I would get my full money back. I guess the second gen would be a bit more though..

I'm sure you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to use a turn signal

He is doing good for beginner, still doing better than most of us, let's talk about it again in a few months.

He talks a lot and says nothing.

yes...

*blink blink* :)

So is a moped.

Hahaha thank you!

The bike comes with a 3 amp charger, so it should take about 5 hours to fully charge. Hope that helps!

Why do you say the frame is dangerous? Pedal strikes can be avoided by keeping the inside foot up when turning.

Most of the purchasers of this bike will have no idea of what a pedal strike is until they go down from one. The clearance between the bottom of the pedal and the ground is simply not enough to be safe on this bike, particularly in off road situations which is what the bike is marketed as. A friend of mine just went down from a pedal strike turning on another e-bike and needs hip surgery. I personally think it’s incumbent on the so called leaders in the industry to actually lead the way. Fixing frame defects, adding hydraulic brakes, and obtaining UL certification is kinda of the bare minimum. Regardless, Aventon should tweak the frame to save its customers and prevent future lawsuits, it’s good business.

rival brand comment

At first, without the electronics, this would be a bike in the 600$ range. It has overall better parts than the rest of the bunch. But here comes the point, with the torque sensor you’re going up in the territory of way more expensive bikes. So I can‘t follow your argumentation. Aventon is checking many boxes with this bike. The two things that you could change is the derailleur up to Alivio and maybe the suspension fork. But the rest? What do you want to see more on this bike? Thats not a sports bike, it’s a cruiser just for daily usage.

What did you smoke ?
