Aventon Aventure 2 Initial Review and First Ride 

Get your Aventon Aventure 2 here: alnk.to/aAJWjg2

This is the first bike I’ve bought in 30 years… maybe longer… I haven’t been happier. I love riding now.

Thanks for all the videos on the Aventon bikes, you helped me make up my mind to buy one. Ordered the Adventure 2 today.

Looking forward to seeing your future videos on this bike.

I've neen having a hard time selecting a bike, this great video just simplified things a lot!! Thank you so much! Ride safe✌️

Great review! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I feel like all of the reviews are someone on the beach in California. Where I live, snow is something we deal with every year. Thanks again for showing a snow ride.

Phenomenal video… I ordered mine last week, I can’t wait to get it. Safe rides, and thanks for the video.

Just purchased this bike! Waiting for it to ship and watched about 10 reviews all with good to glowing reviews. Super excited!!

Great review, Scott! Your videos were a huge help in moving me to purchase the Aventure 1 just after the new year. I enjoyed every minute on the bike, but totally lucked out as the Aventure 2 was announced just a couple weeks before my bike shop's 30 day return policy was out. Thankfully, I never wiped out on the snow here in Minneapolis and the bike was still in new condition. Erik's Bike Shop (great shop up here that sells Aventon) was glad to get me on the new one and I just paid the difference. Man, you can't overstate the difference riding these two. Both are amazing, but you put it well when you say you feel one with the bike. I love being more in control of the bike, and since I do a lot of snow riding and trail riding, I love not having to constantly gauge what pedal assist level is safest. It rides like a dream, and I still don't believe how Aventon does all this for the price point. Keep creating! Looking forward to seeing more of your Aventure 2 adventures!

Awesome video, I love your excitement about the bike. Makes me very excited for future riding. I have a blue step-thru coming, should be here in a week or two. I am very excited. I have a Trek Verve 2+ that as much as it is a great bike, it just didn't work for me for winter riding in Saskatchewan. Far too much snow.

Just ordered my first ever ebike and went with the Aventure 2! Thanks for all the videos, definitely helped in my decision making process so I made sure to use your link to order mine. Fellow Chicagoan here so maybe I'll see you on the trails sometime. :)

Loved the video as well as your previous reviews. I was just about to pull the trigger and buy a Velotric Nomad 1. Thankfully, I procrastinated a week or 2 just in time to take advantage of this new launch from Aventon. Just ordered it yesterday and can’t wait to get it in my hands and start enjoying the hell out of it.

just ordered one with the black friday discount! thank you for the great vid!

Great video brother, because of your in depth review I have decided to go out and get this bike. Keep up the great videos. Cheers mate

ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW SCOTT !!! I ALSO AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS BIKE. VERY NATURAL FEEL , SOLID BUILD AND PLENTY OF POWER MAKE THIS A GREAT RIDE.

Awesome! Your previous videos sold me on the Aventure, but I never pulled the trigger hoping they would someday add a torque sensor. I was totally waiting to hear your thoughts on the Aventure 2, and it sounds like a winner!

Really enjoy your reviews. Have recently interested in purchasing my first e bike, and this is what I feel that fits my interests. Thank you.

I just bought the blue step through and I pick it up tomorrow. I can’t wait to get it going. Thank you for the video.

Hey Scott. Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Aventure 2 step through in Colbalt Blue. I almost did the step over but my career injuries reminded me not to. I’m pretty excited about it and should arrive in a couple of days. I really enjoyed your videos and honesty. You tested the bike as I would. Thanks again Scott. G. Mann from Alberta

I just bought the A2, it is such a Beast and im super intimidated but excited. I will be watching more of your video's

Thank you Scott for another helpful and informative video about the Aventure. When better riding weather gets closer, I'll definitely be ordering a V2 to replace my first generation Aventure, which, like you, I almost want to hug because it's been such a pleasurable addition to my life. I like everything about it but sometimes feel like I'm not getting quite enough exercise from it even though I routinely take several 20+ mile rides per week. I put that down to the cadence sensor even though I always pedal and adjust the gearing for a good cycling cadence, and I'm rarely riding above PAS 3 mode. I look forward to the more natural cycling experience that I think the torque sensor will provide. There are two things about my bike that I sometimes wish I'd done differently: gotten the next smaller frame size, and opted for step-through rather than step-over. I'm 5'10" and have the medium step-over now. I added a suspension seat post and so the seat is adjusted as far down as it can be but one more inch lower would sometimes be welcome. I also removed a rear rack bag I had and replaced it with panniers partly because the additional height of the rack bag made it that much harder to swing my old leg over to mount and dismount the bike. So I'll definitely get the regular frame size rather than the large next time around. But I'm torn between getting another step-over frame or instead going for the step-through. I'm at about the recommended weight limit of the bike and have thought, possibly mistakenly, that the SO frame was stronger and more rigid than the ST. I prefer the look of the SO to the ST frame. And I'm not even sure I'd change my mounting method with a ST frame anyway. Plus, I'd miss my spiffy little top tube bag. But my sore old bones and muscles are asking me to consider the ST frame. I'm wondering if you gave any similar consideration to getting a step-through frame and why you opted for another step-over.

Great review. I've been waiting on it. I think I am sold. I have the Aventon Level 2 with Torque Sensor and really like it. I have a Gforce T42 20" bike and that has a cadence sensor...I may have to pull out the vredit card.

Great review thank you so much

Got mine Aventure 2, absolutely loving it! Thanks to your review helped me select the right size for me. I'm 5"11' got the regular size to accommodate suspension seat post. Had to let go my Nomad1, liked mine Nomad1 too but the torqure sensor on Aventure 2 is the game changer, feels so much more engaged and controlled at all riding speeds

Great review. I just ordered one through my local ebike shop. The Reg size in grey. The Aventure2 sold itself on the test ride. I'm 5'8" and decided on the Reg size so that I can add a suspension seat post later. I'm counting down the days!

Thanks for the review. You did an excellent job. At one point you said, "speed test" and my first thought was "Oh No, Scott is going to end up splattered against some bush", but then, unlike the Scott I know, you said "Not going to happen...not today" and my thought was "Oh good, maybe Scott is learning to be responsible" followed quickly by the thought "naw, he just didn't want to crash his new bike on its maiden voyage, we will probably be riding down some mountain bike trail before spring" At one point you asked us to follow the link at 8:30 and pointed to the top right hand corner... but on my video I couldn't see the link.

I bought my Aventon Aventure 2 a little more than a month ago. I only had 67 miles on it and burned the hub motor up climbing a steep hill at the 3,000 foot elevation. I had it in Eco mode. I took it back to the bike store to get a new hub motor and wheel. At least the warranty is good for two years.

Awesome video and thanks. I’m going to buy one.

Having a blast on mine, Scott. That torque sensor makes this update a huge value at this price point. Everyone should seriously consider it!

Bro this is the exact color I’m looking to get, looks great!

They came through and sent you one! Great review

Thanks for the video, Scott. My first and current ebike I bought back when they first came out from Lectric, and got the original XP folding ebike. My local bike shop help me out with changing several things that as I rode thought things like, the brakes could be better, the freewheel in top gear was Ghost pedaling so replaced it. Blah blah, my story goes on with things like COVID and not riding for a while. I'll be 70 later this year and having put a bunch of miles on my first ebike and the BUG biting me to get off my azz and ride again decided it was time to look at something different. So, today I ordered the Aventon Adventure 2 step through. Why the step through, well at nearly 50 and one 'fake' knee already I thought it is the better choice for me, especially noticing how it's reinforced down at the joint. So happens that the bike shop I had been dealing with for all the upgrades to the Lectric XP, sell Aventon so order it through them and in a week or so I'll get the call to "come on down" and do the final adjustments for seat height etc., and be one happy pedaling fellow. By the way, I figure most people are going to go for that nice BLUE, so I ordered BLACK...lol Another thing, I'm your neighbor to the North in Wisconsin. Thanks again for the video, as it was good enough for me to SMASH that SUB button.

Love the look of this bike! I was wondering if I could get by with a smaller frame. I’m 5”11, but I like using a suspension seat post which raises the seat 3-4inches. Just wanting to get comfortable fit. Great review! This bike is definitely on my short list.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice review Bud 👍

Great review man!

Well I have had my Aventure 2 step through in Cobalt Blue for a month now and I am loving this bike. I’m riding everyday now. Have 320km on it. My friend liked it so much he ordered it in the camouflage green and a level 2 step through for his wife. Now another friend rode mine and is considering the Aventure. Lol see what you have done here Scott. Lol

Scott my wife just pulled the trigger on a Pace 500.3. I have Level 2. Actually liked the "TURBO" on the Pace. While at the shop they let me take out the Adventure. Just "WOW!" I'll see if I can "JUSTIFY" buying it next year 😂.

Great video, Scott! 🍄🍄🍄

Loved this review. Helped me decide to go forward with getting the Aventure.2. Was wondering how it has held up since this review though? Any complaints or concerns?

Great video! Thanks for showing the turn signals in use. They aren't very visible from the rear making them a more of a gimmick than a safety feature. I have the original Aventure and at Class 2 it stops generating power when at 20 MPH. Does the torque sensor work the same way?

Great video. I like my Aventure 1 better than my 2. I live on a hill and use my bike to commute. With the torque sensor, I have to work my tail off to go up the hill or ride on the flat at 28 mph (throttle only gives me 18 mph). Not looking to be forced to work out (63 yrs old), I am looking for a 2 wheeled electric vehicle. The Gen 2 does feel more like riding a bike, I get that, I just want the option for a cadence sensor.

Waiting on my Aventure 2 and my first Ebike ever

Scott, I’m a Chicago native and you have my sympathies. Come out west you won’t regret it.

Scott, great review and video. I've been doing my research for the last six-months or so, planning to purchase my first ebike. I'm 5'10" and 265 lbs, and my primary motivation is to improve my fitness level. I bought a regular bicycle several years ago, and it became immediately apparent to me just how much work is involved in keeping this much weight rolling down the road. I was either having to exert too much effort in higher gears or pedaling like I was in a spin class in the easier, lower gears. After 10-minutes I was exhausted. Sure was a LOT different that the experience I remember from my younger days. :P I had been thinking I wanted a mid-drive ebike. I'm not interested in the "electric scooter" ride you see so many RU-vidrs focusing on. I want something that seamlessly enhances my own pedaling. I test rode a couple hub motor bikes, and it felt a little awkward. The motor would kick in and push the bike up to whatever PA level speed that was set, regardless of how I pedaled. It sounds like the torque sensor solves a lot of that. You appear to be pretty fit. Do you think the Aventure 2 would be a good option for me? Mostly paved areas with long, rolling, low-elevation hills and some dirt and gravel areas. Thanks for your reviews!

I bought the level 1 last March 2500 miles on it . The level is a Great bike but I'm looking into the adventure 😊

Great video...I'm definitely interested in this bike. I was looking at the level 2 or this one. I guess I would go with the step through, but I am 62, 5'8" 289lbs. What size bike would you recommend? What accessories. Thanks.

Thanks for the update on the Adventure 2. Does anyone know if the original could be upgraded to use an aftermarket torque sensor?

Hello Scott thank you for the prompt response. Pete from British Columbia Canada. I don't want to be too much bother however I am curious if the Aventon Adventure 2.0 is the ebike of choice, compared to others in the same price range. Have been reading many reviews and there are plenty of choices. If you had to short list the top 3 fat tire Ebikes in this price range, apart from Aventon Adventure, what others would you recommend? If sponsorship precludes you wanting to comment, I appreciate it. All the best!

Loved the review again, Scott! The Aventure.2 looks like my new ebike...but I have to wait at least 6-7 weeks while we move and get settled in Arizona...where we probably won't do nearly as much snow riding as you do. ;-) Though I understood the torque sensor going in, you've given the most realistic review and demonstration of it so...cannot WAIT to try it out!! When I called an LBS in Tucson and mentioned the Aventure.2, the guy mentioned the Aima Big Sur...and said it was almost a clone of the Aventure. Have you heard of them yet? As usual...thanx for the ride!!

Thank you for the great video Scott! I am 5' 11" and ~155 lbs, would you recommend that I get a size Regular or Large for the step-over Aventure 2? I will try to go in to try them out in person but wondering if you have any advice on this since I am right on the cusp between the two sizes. Thanks!

You should be seeing credit for TWO A2's courtesy of your link Scott! Now I await patiently for delivery.

Loving my Adventure2 and your videos have good info, especially with the accessories, but I cant figure how to change my main screen to show my tripmeter while riding, even while scrolling it doesn't show the tripmeter, only the odometer..... Any pointers on how to get the Main screen changed to show the tripmeter, I have seen pics of the Adventure1 where the main screen has the Tripmeter and Odometer displayed with the MPH.....

Great review. Is the weight of the adventon aventure 2 step thru 77lbs plus the battery. Is the battery 7 lbs. You're the best.Lee in Socal

Why are there diff. persons height is diff from regular frame and large frame? I am ordering the step through and like the cruiser height and postition of a cruiser, they said recommend large frame, did not have one to test. What do you think , will be getting the seat shock also.

Been looking to upgrade from my old, old mountain bike to an electric bike to make me a bit more independent of ride shares and such, and to make the climb to my job just a bit easier on me. Have been carefully looking over the various fat tire bikes and am happy I didn't consider getting one before now, as the Aventure 2 seems fantastic! Have you taken it out in conditions where there's been some amount of ice on the paths your taking? I'm in northern Ontario and our roads in town aren't nearly as heavily salted. Also, I'm curious about some of the angles you got in this video, I don't see any kind of mount so how were you getting those shots like at 11:07 and 14:21? Drone?

Hey Scott I got mine today! Love it so far but I can’t get to the paring screen with a long press on i button? Want to Pair it so I can unlock it but no luck?

Wish I could justify having the aventure 2 already have the level 2 and love it but also would love a fat tire 😁

Good Job.

Excellent review sir. ✅ Which seatpost would you advise? How did you get those camera angles? Rating? (1-10)

#1 fat selling e-tire bike! lol had to listen to that a few times

Scott, excellent video. ? to u. 5-10 to 5-11 205#. I am a between bike size. What size do u suggest. I want to be in the bike not on top of it if that make sense to u. Thanks Tim

debating between the aventure and level. Do thik fat tire bikes look awesome but might be overkill.

"This thing has all the bells and whistles," said after just stating that it literally does not have a bell. Got a good chuckle out of that.

I have the Aventon Aventure bike I bought last year and have over 1700 Kilos on it so far.

How would this bike do in the mountains and for hunting applications?

I could have made this exact same video. Come to ebike of Colorado in Louisville, CO. I feel the same about my shop and this is the perfect bike. I put on a seat suspension bar and a fat ass seat and it is that much better.

Did the forks get an upgrade? I heard on the original model they were clunky and not good

Thanks for the review brother.... I love my adventure! 58 and sunny here and feels to cold to ride I can't imagine being in your weather....

I have a 7.5 mile commute in the burbs. This bike is in my cart, and I wanna hit pay but Im thinking I could possibly find one at a local dealer near me? idk If I should order online and wait or get one in person!!

HEY BOSS I have a question I got my Avennton 2 however I wanted to check if they lowered the top speed in app cause before I had it set to maximum speed which was 51kmh but now it says you've reached top speed at 45 kmh was there a change in their app?

Nice review, Scott! How does the bike do on dry pavement ?

Question for anyone who can answer, I’m 6’5” and I know the large hight-step bike fits up to 6’4”. Will it be much of a difference where I won’t be amble to ride it comfortably in the road? Thank you .

I just purchased this ebike. My first ebike, and I got the blue step-thru model because I didn't like the step-over colors. Want to point out that the price went up $100 on 5-8-23 (I beat the increase), and it came in as Class 2, I had to unlock the bike for Class 3. It goes up to 28 mph in pedal assist now, but throttle tops out at 20.2 mph. Without any motor assistance, the fat tires make it impossible for me at my age (nearing 70) to go pedal-only.... but my intention is not to go pedal-only. My first ride was a 4 mile round trip, with 2 significant hills at each end of the trip. I used 9% of the battery power, including use of Turbo mode to climb the steep uphill stretches, and used Sport mode the rest of the trip. Stated range is advertised as 60 miles, looks like I will get 40-45 miles per charge. My preference would be the cadence sensor model, but purchased the Aventure 2 with torque sensor primarily because of the other extra equipment included standard on the newer model.

Best Buy sells them. Can you have their service team assembled the bike for you? I saw one on the display floor today.

Hi, I see you are using fat tyres on snow. Its very snowy/icy here & most companies dont send to Greenland so I need to choose between the 2 ebikes I can buy here. Which is best in snow &/or ice conditions? 26" with skins or 26" fat tyres? 26" with reTyre gravel or winter skins 26" fat tyre nobby tyres I am used to road & a bit of gravel riding on a hybrid bicycle. Its been a while riding since snow/ice on a hybrid bicycle (27" I think) in fairly flat areas. Here we have 15-20+ gradient inclines & not much flat area. Looking for the most non-skidding. Often packed ice under new snow. Thx

I love that bike trail. What city did you shoot this in?

You mentioned you had parts/repairs paid for by Aventon, what kind of issues did you have? Still consider this bike reliable?

Are pedal strikes as bad as people are saying w/the Aventures? I want to ride some trails too and know how annoying (and dangerous) pedal strikes can be on the trail

So I can buy a Bakou Mule for $2k new locally or an Aventon Adv2 for $1700 online. I’m unsure of which I should get. Thoughts?

How do you connect to the app

Is the battery UL rated ??

Is it worth buying this when the Ariel Rider Kepler exists? I'm very torn between both

Great review but , The Aventure.2 comes out of the box as a Class II ebike, with pedal assist and throttle going up to 20 MPH . It can be unlocked to a Class III ebike and can go up to 28 MPH on pedal assist.

I’m 5’10”. Which size should I get and what should I think about to make that decision?

Hey Scott. Checking in after a year. Do you still have this bike? Do you use it? Any issues?

What is your Helmet? Very nice I need one.

The Aventure 2 looks wonderful but one thing keeping me back is the weight. I need to be able to transport this thing to other areas easily. I think this might require 2 people or one really buff dude.

step through large for me easier to get on particularly if you have a load on the back

Correction, the first round of events and you did not need to download the app to change the speed you could do it right from the display model, which is the one I purchased the second round you had to download the app

How water proof is the Adventen 2

First time i'm hearing about accident insurance. Good to know lol

Im 6ft 2 inches and weigh 350...is this then bike for me?

Great video! I’ve been eyeballing this one, but the price of the old one is RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP! What should I do? 😩

Echo or eco mode?

Looks like a great bike but it seems the brake, turn, tail lights are too dim to be much use. Maybe just the camera or lighting IDK.

I am so happy they have the dark blue for the step thru Aventon Adventure 2. I'm so sick of pastel colors and white bikes on step thru bikes. Its stopped me from buying so many bikes I've been interested in.

Man if I can find an ebike shop in Illinois that takes trade INS I may consider trading it. I purchased one last year. I have 400 miles on it. Maybe a little more.

Awesome video!😃 Not sure what all that white stuff is…Florida has nothing like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are you going to show how to unlock it to go 28mph, instead of maxing out at 20?
