I just upgraded from my Velotric Discover 1 to the Aventon Level.2 and WOW what an upgrade. I am on the Aventon train now.. I say this because my bike was delayed getting out of the plant and when I emailed to see why they stated they were experiencing heavy volume with new products. Low and behold all of the e-bike channels I am subscribed to suddenly start posting about the Sinch 2. Must’ve been why. I’m not a folding Ebike guy, but I do like how a lot of companies aren’t just locked into one type of bike. This type of production doesn’t feel cheap.

Yeah. Seems like each month they are upgrading an older model. I have to admit, I’m not a huge foldable bike kind of guy, but the Sinch doesn’t feel like a small foldable bike either.

Just bought one yesterday took for a little ride to a friends house.. it rides really well for the price it was the cheapest bike in the store. I originally rode the adventure 2 but it was crunchy and made alot of noises plus didnt fit in my truck so i test rode the sinch and it was much smoother and quieter and i liked the handling better! Might have been the cheapest bike in that shop (even the non assisted bikes were 3k) but i think its great for what it is. Also im 5'6 and with the weight of this bike i want more than my toes to touch the ground so i keep the seat really low which is usually a big no no but with the pedal assist its no problem

Good review Scott. I was tempted to get a Sinch when I first started looking at Aventon e-bikes. Bought the Aventure instead but I like that the Sinch is a folding bike that’s still relatively compact even when it’s unfolded. It would be a good choice for my wife who’s 5’2”. Another good option for her would be the Aventon Abound. It’s heavier but it's very versatile and it would also be a good fit for a shorter rider. My favorite part of the video is when your dog is teleported to different places in the yard and front porch. Beam me up Scotty.

@rookie90210 Жыл бұрын

Why was your battery less than what they claimed? 636 watts? Did you reach out to them? I wonder if all the Sinch 2 are now coming like that. They should update their specs. I was thinking about getting this bike but with the battery being less than their listed specs and the fact that you cant unlock it to class 3... those may be a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the in depth reviews you put out.

@scotthardesty Жыл бұрын

I did reach out to them when I made that discovery but I honestly can't find or remember the answer. After the review I didn't feel that it made much of a difference in performance so I wasn't really concerned. I figured they have made the adjustment needed at this point. I understand how having it locked at 20mph can be a turn off. My wife uses this bike to get back and forth to work sometimes and she never goes over 20 so for her, this bike is perfect.

@AlexAdam-sp5ri Жыл бұрын

I had an original CINCH at $1599. Expensive then. Its a heavy ebike and I got LOADS of compliments on it. Someone needed it more than I did and cut thru the lock an took it. This one is really Sweet but again Heavy and Expensive. I bought a GOTREX today. So less $$! Ima Happy Camper.

First of all, congrats on the 10 lb weight loss (I think it’s a positive?). The last leg of the ride, it was all Scott power - how was that? Having the Aventure.2, it’s like pedaling in quicksand because it’s so heavy without the assist. Lastly, is there a way to support you outside of buying from Aventon through your link? I have so much loyalty to my awesome local bike store, but want to help you continue doing this.

I planned it out to where I only had to use “Scott power” for about a block and it wasn’t hard at all. Unlike the Troxus Explorer as I had to use “Scott power” for over 2 miles.
