I think it has the best list of desirable components and features for the price. It has an advanced color display with a cool app, better shifter, 8 speed vs. 7 speed, and 3 volt charger. The only thing I wish they would have added is puncture resistance for the tires. The fully integrated battery is awesome too.

Hello I wanted to ask how you like your aventure and is it as good as I hear up hills?…lastly why did you take it over the himiway, ripcurrent or radrover?.. thanks!!

Nice review! I had just watched a review comparing 3 of the popular fat tire ebikes. Rad, Aventon, and Himiway. I believe they gave the overall edge to the Aventon and called them the new kid on the block. Sounds like they might need better customer service, but there's always going to be issue's with any brand.

Great video review! The uphill PAS, and motor only was very informative. I also loved your brake test. I just bought a couple Aventon Sinch folding ebikes for my wife and I to transport around, but the Aventure is next on my list for just me. I’m a tall 280 lb guy so that looks the way to go for accessing the trails near my home. I will be curious to compare the performance stats at my weight vs. your 110 lb lighter body.

Just Ordered my Aventure yesterday! This is my 2nd Aventon! My pace 500 did so good!! Thanks for this review!

@@bernievassallo3336 Hi, been riding my Aventure in MTB trails with steep hills and it went well. Also in paved trails, it's been ok. No issues so far. Regarding Himiway, my bike buddy got the himiway zebra , he has no issues with power and other mechanical specs. His issue is just more on electrical or electronics, he's having problems with the lights that needs replacement of a capacitor. He said himiway warranty issues is terrible because all parts will have to be shipped from China. Never goy it fixed until now for over 2 months, and until he now resorted to using bike lights from Amazon. I also don't like the display being used with his Zebra

your reviews are awesome. Thank you.

I would love if you wore a go pro on one of the off road trails you took the Adventure on with the hills and rock gardens. I am pretty sold on the adventure and your video was very helpful as I continue to do my research. I plan to purchase from a local bike shop. Thank you for a great video.

Easy assembly, battery has good longevity given the first four days of use. Impressed with quality to this point, as well

I bought my Aventure about two weeks ago I totally love it. When a manufacturer builds a product of the quality for the price, It puts the competition has nothing to market against a product of this quality. They are left to attacking their competition's on customer service, it is the only thing that they left!! On the other side, customer service is about taking care of a customer's problem or issue in a timely manner. Waiting on the phone for a few minutes is normal. When evaluating a product i always go to the 1 or 2-star reviews and see what they are saying about the product. There are those who evaluate the product and showing what they do not know about the product. (product maintenance is not a warranty issue) In conclusion, If this is your concern buy from a dealer, I did. He assembled the bicycle and provide a year's service at no additional charge.

Suggestion: EBR seems to have a wealth of knowledge and stats from past reviews, why not edit in that information to give you context to your testing? "During our circuit test, the Aventure did better than A ($), B ($$), and C ($$$), but not quite as well as D ($$$)." Having that information on screen allows views to see the bike in relation to other bikes, and not in a vacuum. It'll give them the power to easily compare and contrast without needed to comb through hundreds of other 20 minute reviews. At the end of the video, you could say, "This bike did fantastically, and stacks up well against it's similar priced rivals X, Y, and Z. If you want to see the differences between those bikes, we'll have them listed below!" That way you can create traffic and viewers who have specific needs or budgets don't have to watch these long (and very thorough) reviews blindly. Cheers!

Le, thanks for the well-thought suggestions! We've discussed doing that more. It gets a little tricky doing that in a standalone review which is why we'd rather hold off till we do a direct comparison video (like our fat bike battle kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHaZj5ORp7C_dKg.html ). It's a double-edged sword making those comparisons in a video since it becomes instantly outdated when we film the next review. We know not everybody will follow the videos linearly from air date, and seeing us say bike A beats out bike B gives the impression that it's the best, but what if we then test C which beats out A and B, but you don't see that video? It's why we try and speak in general terms ("It did great on the hill test." OR "We thought the brakes were a little too soft.") as we go along since each tested bike moves the needle on our average and therefor our expectations. Our hope is to inform the viewer enough through the tests that they can have a little more knowledge/confidence in what they would get if they want to buy that particular bike. E.G. the brakes stop you from 20mph within 15 feet, the throttle only averages 12mph up a 12% grade hill - does that sound like you'd be happy spending your money on that kind of performance? etc. You are absolutely right on linking to others that compare a more directly though. We do leave a playlist button at the end of every video, but we'll make a better effort at linking to similar bikes down in the description and mentioning it during our video.

I agree that there is a chance that someone watches an older review and mistakenly thinks that a certain bike is the best bike around. However! I believe in your viewers and I believe they will be able to research their ebike well. You should believe in them too! In my opinion, adding information on other bikes will do more good than harm. Either way, much love. Keep up the good work! If you do decide to experiment and add in some stats, just add in the magical phrase: "At the time of this review ..." haha

I really liked your review of the Aventon Aventure Step-through, that's the bike I bought, I have the electric-red and I agree it is a really good looking bike and at 65 years old I like the step-through model, it makes it easier to start out and to get off the bike and I really like the overall handling, I think Aventon does a really good job of giving you a quality e-bike for the low price point and since I'm a veteran I really liked getting 10% off the cost and being able to finance through Affirm was the clencher, since I'm retired it would have hurt to have to come up with the little over $1700.00 that I paid for my e-bike back in May of this year.

@@bernievassallo3336 I love my Aventure step-through, at 750W(continuous) and 1130W(peak) in go uphill very easily and for my area, that's a must. I'm down in a valley, with very large hills all around. The easiest hill is at a 25 degree rise about halfway up it goes to a 30 degree rise, the toughest one starts at 35 degrees then to 40 degrees then to 25 degrees 3/4 of the way but then goes to a 45 degree rise the last 1/10th of a mile and the Aventure goes up without a problem, it's only going 12 mph that last leg, but in very short order I'm back up 26 to 28 mph on the smaller hills at the top. I can actually get up to 32 to 36 on the flat, riding on the main road. But I do follow all speed limits, so if the speed limit is 25, that's how fast I go, if it's 15 mph then I'm there. The only time I can get to 40 mph is down hill, but I'm not comfortable going quite that fast down hill, so I usually ride my brakes to keep me at 32 or below. Yeah, I love my Aventure! As far as why I didn't go with Rad, is Rad e-bikes kind of look like an afterthought, IMHO and I watched several unbiased reviews that pitted them head to head and the Aventon Aventure beat them out on top speed up hill and on the flat and range.

I got the red one…the power stays up until the end of the ride… the only thing that sets it back is the distance… I wanted it to go longer… it will last me only 20 miles because I stay on the highest level because I like to go fast… if it gave me 60 miles per charge it would be the perfect bike….. it’s still perfect but I would like more distance… as I bought out of the store I was getting compliments left and right… people want to buy it from me…

Nice video! One thing I was curious about was what class it is, at the beginning you mentioned that it's a class 2 but at 4:42 you said it's a class 3

Thanks for the review with the alternate components! You said what I was hoping to hear, since I got the bike with the components you just tested. I bought the bike a little over two months ago, actually because of your excellent review then. However, when I finally received mine, the components were not what you had tested, yet Aventon kept quoting your review based on the the original specs. Apart from some sloppy packing/shipping issues which caused me to get cosmetically imperfect bike, I’ve enjoyed it. Considering its sub-$2000 price point, I do think they did a good job in putting it together. My one issue has to do with the lack of a torque sensor. This thing goes, so when I have to slow down for a tight turn, or if there are nearby pedestrians, I have to turn off PAS, to avoid a clumsy surge ahead. Also, many times there is a 3-4 second delay in PAS when engaging it. I’ve learned to ride so that feel comfortable, understanding these quirks and making sure the bike does what I want it to. Thanks again for the great review!

I think its a great bike. Does anyone know how much NM of torque the adventure has?

I really like bikes from Aventon specifically this one. I want to see couple options from Aventon so customers can choose to fit them better when they order the bike such different size handlebars, maybe a more powerful motor and larger wheel size such as 27.5 or 29". I am definitely considering getting one of these in the near future.

@davejohn5876

Having all those fit options would increase the price. Have to remember the marketing for these type of ebikes is not geared toward cyclist. They're banking on selling these to people who have no intention of actual cycling. The Group of people that think spending $4-$500 on a bicycle is outrageous. Keep the prices low can only be done by selling bikes with cheap components and limited options.

Great review, and I know how good this bike is because I have the same bike, and color... I originally had an Eahora AM200 bike with suspension front and rear but this 750W bike was junk on power. Would be walking the bike up those hills. We had three of them and sold all three. We now have two stepover's and my step through. For me at age 73, way easier to get on and off. Going to be installing the Redshift seat post and stem, even though like you said the bike is soooo comfortable and maneuverable. Thanks, Dave...

There is more speed and power on the Aventure. We haven't had a flat on either bike with a few hundred miles ridden on them between the two - that being said, the Rover does come with slightly better tires. Fixing a flat on a front tire is not too bad. Rear tire is a little trickier due to the hub motor, but it can be done.

I think you need to add 2 major parts to the reviews. First is adding evaluation by much heavier riders that are much closer to the max weight recommendations. Second is ease of assembly. Many of these companies are only available through internet sales and delivery. A very large portion of your viewers are buying an ebike for the first time. Of all the data I need to buy, those 2 pieces of information are super important. Thank you.

@@jamestaylor9136 he didn't really answer your question. The best comparison that I can make is shifting on a bicycle it's pretty much the same as a manual transmission car. If you're at a stop for very low speed you want to be in a higher gear, (which are the smallest cogs on your cassette) as you pick up momentum you shift into lower gears to maintain your speed. The only difference to note is that unlike a manual transmission on a car you do not have a clutch so you have to make these gear transitions, (either up or down) while pedaling

I own two of these. They are great bikes. But the step thru arrived with issues, and both bikes were missing parts. On the step-thru, it took me six hours of work to modify the channel containing brake line and electrical wires behind the battery, just to get the battery to stay in. Almost six months later they still have not shipped the part. So while the bikes ended up good, the quality control and customer service was terrible. I would not recommend this company.

Is the bike normally that loud?

Aventon stated these bikes peak at 1130w which I think is total crap. At most of say they peak at maybe 800w or poached even less. The Rad bikes and the himi bikes are powered at around the same range but their build quality is questionable imo but then again these are ALL made most likely in the same facility in China so take that with a grain of salt.

So the quality has gone down? I don’t understand how your previous reviews said you got what the company claimed in speed and mileage but now your not getting the speeds or mileage in all 5 settings? 🤔 how can this be? Shouldn’t be that big of difference from the step over imho 🤷‍♂️

Welcome

Great review. Thank as your vids are so helpful as I try to decide what fat tire ebike to buy out of the bewildering array of the selection. I would like to see a review on the best bike rack for a hitch attachment for one of these 70+ lbs beasts.

@ElectricBikeReport

electricbikereport.com/guide-to-electric-bike-racks-for-cars/ this list includes a few that should do the job. Best advice, take the battery off before loading on the rack and it helps you stay within the weight limit per tray. Toss the battery in the car with you, and you'll be good to go.

What’s the tire size ????

If I'm paying $2000 plus for a certain model bike with extras and options I selected.. I don't want to hear, supply chain shortages or we replaced this for that, etc... We will just assembly your bike with what we have laying around and send it to you..... Fast track to many law-suits.

With more seniors going camping, backpacking, RVing, a step thru eBike is gaining popularity with the AARP crowd. So my question is, would you recommend this particular bike to your parents?

Bike ships as a class-2; with the APP paired to the bike, you can simply crank up the max speed to something like 51km/h which is about 31.7mph; Class-1 = peddle assist up to 20mph; Class-2 = throttle only up to 20mph; Class-3 = peddle assist max to 28mph; Note, this bike has 5 levels of peddle assist and level 5 is supposed to go to 28mph "however" I have hit 32.8 mph in my sub ;-), quite screaming for a bike!

Yes… the throttle has a plug-in just a few inches down the wire. With an Allen wrench you can physically take off the plastic throttle switch, then easily unplug it. It’s a great feature if you find trails that are only available for acoustic bikes… here in Colorado, Class 1 can go on all trails non-electrics use.

Excellent Review, the best that I have viewed so far. I just ordered the step thru. My only concern was in an article on the Aventon website. It stated that the step thru could have greater stability issues compared to the step over bike on hilly terrain. Do you see that as a concern? You seemed to have ridden it on some pretty challenging terrain. Thanks

Hello I wanted to ask how you like your aventure and is it as good as I hear up hills?…lastly why did you take it over the himiway, ripcurrent or radrover?.. thanks!!

I wish I had that bike mine will be a neon yellow color for emergency use at night time but right now I don't have that kind of money to get a bike like this or rad bike or the other bike that I keep seeing if I had the money I would get one but I don't have the money but I do like how this is easy to get on the bike cuz there's no bar in the middle I don't care what the bite looks like as long as it gets me from point A to point letter z

Looks to be a very nice and well designed bike. Because of that, on 8/16/21 I ordered an Aventure in the SoCal sand color in the large frame traditional style. The website said that this bike "typically ships in 24 hours". They have since changed that wording to say "in stock and ready to ship". Well it is now 9/3/21 and I still have have not heard anything about a shipping date. Customer service is practically non-existent. You have to wait a week or more before they return e-mails and then they tell you nothing about a shipping date. Yet the website still says "in stock and ready to ship". Don't believe it. I agree with the review that it is a very nice bike but the company is extremely poorly managed and can't deliver the goods! Why order it if they won't tell you when you'll get it? Think twice before you order this. I still have no idea when or if I will ever receive mine. In the meantime they have my money and I have no bike.

Same scenario currently happening to me. The website chat option is responsive, but they won’t give you an estimated shipping date even though the website said 24 hours when I ordered. They keep saying the warehouse is trying to catch up, which is understandable, but they shouldn’t have advertised shipping within 24 hours if that was not actually possible. I have no idea when this bike will actually ship, and I’m considering canceling the order at this point. Seems like there are a lot of comments out there highlighting customer service and replacement part issues.

Ordered a step-through Aventure M/L on 8/27, and ended up receiving on 9/14.

The red Dolomite is not the same frame as the normal blue Dolomite kzread.infoUgkxTGiBQEtJDzdz-_LjtY9HyQZPzkg6s_L9 it seems to be a Hitch with Dolomite stickers and solid rims. This isn't an issue unless you are counting on the wider tire clearance of the original Dolomite. This can be hard to tell given the angle of the pics, especially on a smaller screen. The red version does have the welded seat lock of the newer Malus. If the red color is important and you're going to be doing the basic upgrades popularized on the biking forums and KZread; you would probably be better off buying a Hitch, getting the lighter wheels, and saving a little money. We ordered a blue and a red one and both of the bikes needed grease in the bottom brackets, hubs, and stems. No matter what, these are a great introduction to fat bikes and wrenching your own stuff at this price point.

I was going to purchase the Rad 6 plus but then introduced to Aventure i bought it waiting delivery I think the Rad 6 plus came out to compete with Aventure but came up short on its attempt!!!

I paid 1899 but added front and rear cool racks so with tax it was a bit over $2K; I think they are raising prices as of 9/1/2021 (+100). However, this is a hulk of a bike and awesome and for the $2K price point, it really rocks compared to other big brands like Trek, Specialized etc whose bikes are $3K+ range. Good reason I picked this brand aside from the quality, features and WWII vintage motorcycle look is that my local bike shop carries this brand. I did an internet purchase on Aventon and had it shipped to dealer to assemble. I'm more than capable to do the assembly, but those since I'm new to eBikes, thought it would be a good idea to build a relationship with a local bike shop in case of future issues.

@@brucehessenthaler3173 Keep in mind you are saving money because they're direct to consumer and If you do your research you will see there are Chinese companies that offer catalogs where you can just pick and choose the frame and components and then slap your name on it. When you compare them to Trek and specialized those are going through dealerships which have to also make a profit but also the components used on those bikes are substantially higher such as German-made mid drive motors, with TORQUE sensing peddling which is more like a real bike than cadence sensor which is much cheaper and mostly what you'll find on all of these Chinese made bikes, better brakes, rims, tires, Even the suspension forks on Sub 2k bikes are not made for real OFF road activity. TREK and specialized come with full suspension...etc and Substantially upgraded forks. just the equipment in general Is of a higher standard on those..... And many times they are (substantially) lighter in weight than AVENTON and other sub 2k bikes. if you notice, none of these direct to consumer ebikes are really tested in any sort of way on a mountain bike riding with harsh terrain. those other brands you mention are made for (much) tougher and rugged conditions.. These are just glorified commuter or leisure exercise riding for fun with a little dirt a gravel under you that can also work OK on the street but they should be compared to any of the bikes you've mentioned with cost being the comparison... One great Feature that I do think a lot of these Chinese bikes have is thumb throttle assist.. Depending on your age and health, this could be a big asset to you.

Step-throughs ≠ girls bike. Most of the EBR staff if given the choice of high step or step-through frames would take step-throughs on most any bike except for eMTBs.

Nice guy great review but look down a few of these comments and you’ll read the same thing I mentioned a while back I gave these people 5000 some odd dollars for two bikes and a bunch of extras and they could not give me a shipping date they Hampden hard gave me kind of a roundabout answer and I asked him to give me a positive answer after I waited almost a month then I asked for my money back and we got it back there was no issue but they have just the worst rating the worst for anybody with customer relations or when there’s an issue I’ve read all of their negative comments not to look for negative information but to write off little nuts and bolts issues or a little ding or a scratch I can live at all that you Can’t get the bike great review you just can’t get the bike and no one’s talking to you not a good company so this is just a ghost review trust me it’s a ghost review

This is probably the biggest downfall of these cheaper ebikes, range. I'm 62 years old and by no means a professional cyclist just an enthusiast and I can maintain 12 mph on a none ebike within the range limits of these ebikes using minimum pedal assist. The biggest difference being once I hit the 50 mile mark and the battery dies I don't have a 70+ pound bike that I have to try to propel. Problem is these bikes don't have true pedal assist. The cadence sensors are nothing more than a on off switch with no relationship to how fast you're actually peddling. The so called pedal assist levels are nothing more than a preset throttle. Then again this level of ebike isn't really made for cyclist so to each their own.

The calculation used to determine 5 trees saved is as follows: Randomizer * Woke BS constant, then rounded up.
