I love my singlespeed hardtail and I am thinking "why not a hardtail cheater bike?". If not for the price, would you guys get one over a full squish? Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!! And honestly that’s a tough one, full suspensions are nice but for commuting around town they feel so sluggish. This is the best of both worlds which is awesome!

Sick bike great company! My only issue was that motor sounded so loud! My Kona (hardtail e-MTB) is probably half as loud, but the Ramblas doesn't sound as loud (or obnoxious) as a Surron. Those single tracks looked so fun!

You can tune the motor down a bit. Full disclosure we also had the bike in turbo most of time haha! We have never tried a Surron, maybe one day!

This bike has potential. Although when i looked at the geometry i was disappointed to see that the chainstay length was 465mm. That's really long and not going to allow this bike to be very agile. Sure, it will climb better, but at the expense of it being more fun and poppy. Hopefully they come out with a shorter chainstay in a future version and then I will be a lot more interested.

@moandhannahtravel 3 ай бұрын

The chainstay length felt like it complimented the weight really well, I feel like ok e-bikes we prefer a slightly longer chainstay

It's abuyers market, I just bought a new Gas Gas Trail 2.0 for $2700.00, I also have a Turbo Levo Comp alloy with the new Fox Shocks and Fork. I have 8k tied up in the Levo. It's defineltly and better bike but the Gas Gas rides damn good.

@JasonTaylor-po5xc 2 ай бұрын

I was skeptical about Aventon because I never heard about them until I started looking into e-bikes. My first e-bike was the Pace 500.3 - which I love. I currently have an Abound (for my wife) and a Ramblas (for myself) on order. We will keep the Pace 500 for my older kids or just cruising paved trails in town.

It's now $3k+ with the new tariffs and tax. I would look to go for a full suspension mid-drive at that price point. Especially, since this a first generation motor for Aventon.

Aventon site says 20mph. That's kinda' slow for riding the street. Otherwise I love it.

@Syllaren 3 ай бұрын

It is surprising they didnt have a 28mph mode since they already offer it in other bikes. And with a mid drive motor that should be easier to pull off.

@heiser_bill 2 ай бұрын

@@Syllaren I wonder if it's to keep it within the rules at places that only allow Class 1 e-bikes?

@Syllaren 2 ай бұрын

@@heiser_bill yeah pretty likely, but it's still surprising since you need to manually enable class 3 on all their ebikes, so by default it would still be class 1. I'm assuming it's just to make sure authorities would be able to easily identify it would never be anything other than class 1. Makes it less of a hassle if they aren't suspicious you enabled the higher settings I guess.

IMHO, a company should only build hardtail Eebs with the lightest motors and small batteries. It's all added unsprung weight. With it being a hardtail, the efficiency shouldn't warrant anything more than a low torque motor and small watt/hr batt.

@moandhannahtravel 3 ай бұрын

Interesting! The battery thing sounds tough, it seems like that is where a lot of weight comes from and it has to be a balance of run time vs lightness?

Unsuspended weight of an ebike on a hard tail makes for a brutal off-road experience on all but the tamest of trails. I converted a good hard tail to a mid drive ebike - conversion was great but the extra unsuspended weight made it unusable as an actual mountain bike so now that is just a greenway bike. Go full suspension if you are actually going to ride eMTB on trails. My Giant Trance X E+ (or similar full squish emtbs) are amazing and worth the extra $ to actually be able to use them off-road. my hard tail emtb conversion review/experience: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKiVfpaU1LKnlHk.htmlsi=TRFBpj3sM_O5JmHA

I’d like to see a little more dissecting of bikes if you guys are considering yourselves as bike reviewers. I find it hard to believe you couldn’t come up with a single negative for a cheap Chinese ebike.

@moandhannahtravel 3 ай бұрын

Hey! So this was just a first ride review. A big thing with bike reviews is the bike cost. Once again this is a $2699 electric mountain bike with Rock Shox 130mm fork with 35mm stanchions, Sram 4 piston DB8 brakes, dropper post, 1x12 Sram drivetrain, and a fully customizable motor. At $2699 it's a bike with a very attainable price point made by a US company. We will try and do a longer term review this year! But you have to admit that price point is pretty insane? Also there is not many other bikes we can compare this one too. For us it was a fun and capable bike at an amazing price point with solid components.

90% of all bikes are made in China. And if not made there, the parts still come from China.
