I honestly have to test it out in person first before making a statement, but it may prove useful when riding through steeper terrain. Right now, I love how the 1.0 cadence sensor can easily get me to 28+ mph without much effort.
@JohnBJr Жыл бұрын
@D Rings true. I started on a corporate issued ebike with regenerative braking and torque sense and all that. It was only a 350W motor but the immediate pulse of power upon laying into the pedals is a difference maker. I'm shopping for one after riding my friend's cadence sensing model with 1500W. Half of that with better response time seems like the sweet spot. My local ebike store sells (if not stocks) Aventons. That would be the deciding factor among the usual contestants here.

Excellent review, and I've always appreciated Aventon's design and finishes. The turn signals are too low for fellow riders in groups, and I'm not sure how effective they would be in heavy traffic, but I'd still like to have them. Very happy to see working brake lights, so props to Aventon for that. The rack looks great and seems sturdy, so that's a plus, but I don't think I'd ever get used the throttle being on the wrong side. The torque sensor is a nice addition, and usually feels more "natural", but guess what? I'm a former marathon cyclist who has led tours through multiple countries, and I prefer a good cadence sensor. Why? Because a good cadence sensor is not just an on/off switch. They can have ramp-up curves, pickup and release parameters, and the one I have gives dynamic pedal assist that gives me an automatic boost on startup and hill climbs. I would absolutely prefer torque sensing over a simple switch, but if cadence sensing with tuning options is available, I'd go that route. One thing I have seen on all the different group rides, is that the guys with torque sensors on long rides always finish exhausted and last.

Funny, I literally just bookmarked a HovAlpha 26 yesterday, because it is very similar to the Aventure 1 and competitor fat tire ebikes, but it has a torque sensor. It was the first fat tire ebike I saw with one (in the price range). A torque sensor is high on my "preferred option" list due to the natural feeling it can provide. Now, I can reconsider the Aventure in my short list again! I like this, because of the dealer network. I'm sure the Zebra and HovAlpha (along with a few others) are awesome bikes, and they do go toe to toe with the Aventure, but the torque sensor and local dealer network are huge considerations for me. Good timing on this review 😁 For the record, and since you asked, I love the idea of a torque sensor. With the caveat that I haven't ridden either, I don't quite get the interest in cadence sensors. If I want the bike to move me, I'll use the throttle. If I want to work a little, I'll pedal. And with a torque sensor, I won't have to worry about ghost pedaling so much, since no pressure feedback = no speed improvement. With that said, I think it would benefit Aventon to continue providing both Aventure 1 and 2 bikes. Some people may prefer Cadence, and if they stop selling those, they will lose out on those customers. Perhaps the Aventure 3 has both options (Cadence or Torque). Aventon will have to study their customer base if they decide to stick to only one or the other.

If I purchase this bike I'd most likely upgrade that Derailer to atleast a Deore or SLX if I could find one that matches up to the gearset. I understand Aventon wants to keep the price at a certain level. I just hope upgrading the shifter/derailer will be pretty seamless. What I would have liked to see in the Aventure 2 even if the cost went up a bit. Maybe an Aventure 2 plus or Ultra model option? 52V Battery, 1000W motor, Ability to do over 30mph, higher end shifter/derailer/cassette, while I like the included sturdy rear rack.. I do wish it extended further back so I could have more mounting options.

Great review a lot of great features and upgrades on this bike. I have never ridden a bike with a torque sensor but it looks good . I really like the lights/signals, and the Smart phone app, the only downside is the battery size but I understand the frame design limitations, but it is a detractor… What I really like is the dealer network even here in the Toronto Canada area there are 3 nearby shops and another 3 or 4 dealer shops within a reasonable drive, this is a huge benefit especially after my experiences with support from Rad … if I knew then what I know now I suspect Aventon would of been on the top of my list.. I’m curious about this bike having only 4 PAS levels where most ebikes in this category have 5 with options for 7 & 9 levels.. can this be changed in the settings ? and do you think that the 4 PAS levels with this bike are adequate ?
@EbikeEscape Жыл бұрын
We did not feel like them slimming down the selections to 4 was a negative. Larger bike brands use similarly named and amount of PAS levels.

After 8 years on 3 different brands, and reducing the conversation to basics, if you have a bicycle background you will most likely prefer a torque sensor. If you are used to riding motorcycles, or are an older rider, you will appreciate the immediate response that a cadence sensor provides.

I haven’t ridden a torque sensor e-bike yet. I suspected that it was a better option for folks with more leg strength.

For me, a bike is mostly for exercise, I want to have to pedal because I want the exercise. This bike has a variable throttle if you don't want to bother peddling, so it seems to be the best of both worlds to me.

We have a Rad Rover and 2 Rad City Bikes. When a new Aventon dealer opened shop near us I had the opportunity to ride an Aventure 2 on a local bike trail. When I got back I immediately ordered a Cobalt Aventure 2 due to the torque sensor. It was a game changer for me. I now ride my Aventure 2 exclusively. Here are some of my thoughts on the Aventure 2 as compared to my Rad Rover. I prefer the high density plastic fenders on the Rads to the metal fenders on the Aventure. I have shovels made of high density plastic that will outlast me. They're light, don't dent/rust. The metal fenders on the Aventure will tend to rattle if not tightened. Mine rattled against the back rack until I reversed the sides of the rack. They'll also dent over time. I prefer the Rad's display because it's larger and easier to read while riding especially when wearing sunglasses/visors. The PAS color display on the Aventure can change depending on riding in shadows or full sun plus they're very small making it hard to see for those who use prescription glasses. Moreover, the trip odometer on the Aventure requires 2 fingers to call up thus having to stop the bike in order to access. I would like to have the Rad's display on the Aventure. And lastly it's worth noting that the difference in the large size Aventure frame and the medium size frame is the seat post. Both large and medium frames are the same dimensions. The only difference is the length of the seat post. The longer seat post allows taller riders to sit higher. However, these are small details. All in all, I much prefer the Aventure 2 for its torques sensor, dedicated phone app and dealer network. Trying to deal with Rad's customer service was a hair pulling experience as compared to working with an Aventure dealer and their bike mechanic.
@lemix69 Жыл бұрын
I love the fact that Aventon has put turn signals and an additional taillight on the new Aventure and they really hit it out of the park by changing to a torque sensor in place of the cadence sensor. I know, you're probably saying yeah sure, you say that, but will you put your money where your mouth is, well, I just ordered the new Aventure.2, last night, just past midnight, which places the purchase on my 67th birthday. I think I'll give the Aventure.1 that I bought in April of 2021, to my brother, who's been thinking about buying his own E-bike. I was a little bummed that Aventon, reduced their military discount to 5%, from 10% in 2021, but hey, we'll take what we can get. I'm just looking forward to getting my new E-bike and taking it out for a spin, if the last time is any indication, should be about two months to get the delivery. Thanks for the review, the original review that got me turned on to Aventon was done by Kyle Chittock, which at the time his company was called Bolton E-bikes but is now Area 13. Ride on! 😎

Just wondering if Aventon will have any sort of hardware and firmware update to change the Adventure 1 to have a torque sensor.

Torque sensor is a huge upgrade in my opinion. I never liked how the cadence sensor was essentially a switch that felt more like a cruise control over an assist level, as the acceleration felt the same, it was just the top speed that differed. Made pedaling feel pointless at times, especially when you are pedaling and the motor will 'out-pedal' you to get to that speed, even if you aren't trying to accelerate that fast or even up to that speed. At least with torque sensing, it should be a seemless process and I would think it actually feels like the amount of assist is actually changing and there shouldn't be a certain speed it just takes you to no matter your input and the feeling of being 'out-pedaled' by the motor should be gone. If you want the bike to do all the work, skip the pointless pedaling and use the throttle. You can still pedal if you really want that cadence sensing pointless pedaling feel.
@pjdecoste4636 Жыл бұрын
I'm buying an A2 to replace my A1 with less than 100 miles on it because I want the torque sensor. Cadence is fine on road or easy paths. Once you get a bit of technical riding, it becomes a hinderance, bike takes off or you can't get it to move. Tight trails are rough with the cadence.

I test-rode one of these in November; out of 7 different bikes I tried it was the only true fat-tire bike. It was great fun, but much noisier than the others; partly tire noise, partly motor noise, but most annoying was chain clanking. I don't know if the chain was poorly fitted, but every now and then it was really rattly. As a lifelong cyclist used to a near silent ride that bugged me. The 15ah battery also seems a tad small, why not 20ah? I feel they were building down to a price rather than up to a specification. If I want a spare or replacement I gave to go to Aventon, so they can charge what they like. The turn signals feel like a gimmick, it wasn't the only bike I tried that had them, but after 50 years of using hand signals I'm still going to use hand signals. They only signal behind, and pedestrians and cars need to see your signals form other angles. I did like the torque sensor, again as a life-long cyclist that felt normal. I eventually bought a Magnum Peak T5, I had budgeted for up to $3,000, so the price difference didn't bother me. I've ridden nearly 350 miles on it since that day (in about 2 months).

The fat tire made sense for me. The 20ah battery usually is enough for my longest rides - about 60 km round trip, but I carry a 10ah spare in case. The ride comfort was far above the other offerings, which is noticeable as most of my riding is on gravel roads and trails. The township often has to regrade the roads and anything less would bog down in the fresh gravel mix. Add snow into the mix and it was the only bike that made sense. My next purchase will likely be a thinner tire folding bike that I can fit in the trunk to take to the city’s paved pathways. Unfortunately my car isn’t able to take a hitch receiver so I can’t transport the big bike.

@@kodyshaw6991 most of the roads I ride around here are gravel. Even when the grader has just finished working it’s still stable. Snow has not been an issue although you can lose it trying to go through the plow dump. Deflate the tires a bit for better traction. Max pressure for mine is a mere 20 psi as fat tire bikes ride on volume of air, not high pressure air. When I test drove the bike at the shop I rode right over the beach without issues. Every other bike sank in the sand. My bike has 26” wheels, so it’s stable at higher speeds, but slower to accelerate.

The damaging of gears you are referring to is a problem associated with mid-drive motor ebikes, not rear hub motor ebikes (like the Level 2). Yes, a hub motor ebike would still be able to propel along if the chain breaks. This is because the motor is part of the rear wheel and does not use the drivetrain (like a mid-drive motor) to go. The Level 2 and its torque sensor are a great merging of the two ebike motor experiences.

You say this is the same motor, just Aventon branded, so it's a BAFANG? Also, the Level.2 had the same motor and battery, but when adding the torque sensor, it lost some power on uphill climbs. Looking forward to your Aventure.2 tests involving the hill climb compared to version 1.
@EbikeEscape Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure if it is a Bafang. Keep in mind the different hill in San Diego. In theory the performance between the two on the hill climb should be the same.

I have the Aventon Aventure 1. I really like the bike other than the fact the controller is not programmable I would not buy another Aventon product without a programmable controller, doesn’t matter if it has a torque sensor or cadence sensor. I don’t trust Aventon enough to replace my Aventure 1 with the 2. I’ll be installing a programmable controller and display on my bike instead. If you want to do some research on torque sensor(s) you will find most experts will recommend buying an e-bike with a high quality mid-drive motor with torque sensors. Yes you’ll pay more for it but it’s worth it in the long run. Stay away the cheaper setups if you want a e-bike with a torque sensor(s).

Even though this video was a year old, I purchased one of these bikes, the adventure, one series with the cadence sensor. I got to tell you after having a ride one up 700 series I think the Adventure is a consumer hype because of the fat tire which creates a lot of resistance when peddling the bike does not coast well it’s very noisy on pavement and you really have to play with it to get the 40 mile advertise range The ride one up 700 series can be fine. Tuned to the individual rider and the conditions you’re in I’ve gotten over 55 miles on my ride one up with a 48 V battery to coast endlessly is extremely quiet and it does not feel like a tank is underneath you although the adventure one and two are nice looking to me they’re just a gimmick all because of the fat tire I would choose a ride one before I chose one of these again as I’ve had both bikes and another tip unless you are over 6 foot tall do not buy the large frame it’s like peddling a tank compared to the small frame but I don’t think they offered that anymore anyway that’s my two. Cents.

uncertain if i think the torque sensor is an "upgrade" as i was pleased with the cadence sensor of my original Aventure. Turn signal is definitely not an upgrade. Only upgrade in my mind is the included rear rack and the lower starting price. I think it's hard to make very many upgrades in the Aventure's price range.

If you enjoy riding a bike, the torque sensor is a nice change. We do agree it is hard to get a better product at this price point. Like you, the lower price and rack are the biggest things we are excited about.

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzfaq.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

I should be able to ride the damn thing on throttle for a minimum of 50 miles. Cost to value these things suck. People seem ok for paying more for the “brand”. Nobody seems to care about quality for the cost anymore. At the end of the day. It’s a bike with a cheap “motor” and a battery. These things cost under a hundred dollars to produce out of China. It’s ridiculous.
