Nice to see a review from someone who has owned the bike for a year and can speak of its durability. This is a great testimonial. Thanks very much.

@BassettBTV 2 месяца назад

Your welcome! It is a great bike.

@portanova47 3 дня назад

Great review . I just ordered the adventure 2 . Im nervous it is too small. Im 6 3 ....340lbs but this gave me lots of confidence i made right decision 😊

@RachelSmith-dr4pt Месяц назад

This is great! We got the Aventon Aventure.2 which is a little bit bigger than the Level 2 (from what I can gather). Studies are showing the e-bikes offer 92% of the fitness benefits of regular bikes, but it just feels so much easier and more fun that it doesn’t feel like it’s as hard!

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

Thanks, I was looking into the Aventure 2 but it seemed too extreme for my area of ridding. E-bikes are a great way of fitness it takes more strength than people would imagine.

@richardmitnick567 26 дней назад

Thank you. I’m a 72 year old guy that weighs 265lb. It was great hearing from someone I can relate to. Close to getting my first e bike and am Leaning strongly towards the Level 2. There’s a bike shop only 10 minutes away that carries Acentin, so that’s a huge plus as well.

@BassettBTV 20 дней назад

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. Recommend trying the bikes out at a bike shop first before purchasing.

Big guy here, thanks for this!

You’re welcome, glad I could help!

@bobjohnston1239 15 дней назад

Thanks for this. Us hefty guys don't get alot of help through most reviews. One "Pro" review channel consider their 250 lb guys as "heavy". I'm gonna buy a bike at the end of this month, and it's nice to know that a 500w motor will do the trick, as I've been looking at 750w motors and up due to my size. This gives me alot more options now.

@MontanaEbiker 15 дней назад

Hi, just a heads up...a 500 watt e-bike will not be able to take you up hills without some very strenuous pedaling. I'm 245lbs and had a 750 watt e-bike and had trouble going up hill. I've since purchased a 1500 watt Wired Cruiser e-bike and can now climb any hill in my area. With that said, if you plan on solely riding flat surfaces then a 750 watt would work fine but may not reach top speed. I've been riding e-bikes for years now so im happy to help if you have any questions!

@iandawson7373 5 дней назад

Hi mate from th uk I weigh 231 pound i ride a ebike they are a only 250watts here as you say pedal asist helps me up hills but most of the time I ride on number 1 ore 2 the bike has 6 levels of assist and my bike weighs 4 and half stone and it certainly helps your fitness wouldn't be with out one stay safe regards ian

Thanks! Ordering one today finally.. as for security would setting the bike to no assistance before you park it be a good way to help deter/counter thieves? Thief wont be able to zip away if they can somehow power it up.

@bigmage2 10 дней назад

So i was worried about not being able to make it up steeper hills. You cant just use throttle only to get you up a steep hill?

@BassettBTV 10 дней назад

You can only use the throttle to go up hills. Now depending on the degree of the hill depends if it can make it up or not. Also the weight of the individual makes a difference. It will make it up depending on the steepness. I have had no issues with hills up to this point but I also don’t have any steep hills around me.

Nice im liking this ebike

Get one! I love this bike.

@scottandjenik2359 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the review. The bike sleeve your using on the Level 2. I followed the link provided, do you recommend the large or medium battery frame sleeve. Thank you. Scott

@BassettBTV 2 месяца назад

So I bought the medium and it fits but it is tight. At the time the large was not in stock. Both should work, if I was to buy another I would go with the large.

@donnewton8556 24 дня назад

Thanks for this video, it is very informative. I also live in the Atlanta area. Do you have a bike shop that you recommend? Also, the trail that you were on looks great! What are your favorite trails to ride in this area?

@BassettBTV 24 дня назад

I do not have a certain bike shop in Atlanta. Most trails I ride are silver comet, and the big greenway. There is a trail in Gainsville I’m still looking at taking soon. I believe the trail is still being built in some areas.

@HullioGQ Месяц назад

This is a helpful review considering the pros don't even bother doing long term reviews. Thank you!

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

Thank you! They never have the bikes long enough. They are given the newer one to review and that’s as fast as it goes.

@hankwojo Месяц назад

Great video. I undecided between the Level 2 and the Adventure 2. I'm going to do mostly rail trails and maybe some light off road stuff. What is the bag on your rear rack?

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

Thanks, The bag is a TOPEAK Bag. I have a video coming out soon about it.

@kushagrachaudhary2317 Месяц назад

Planning to buy this. Is it waterproof? Need to know if it can handle well in rains?

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

Not sure about waterproof. I have rode it in pouring down rain with no issues. I have a battery cover on the bike that also helps keep the battery dry and clean.

@kushagrachaudhary2317 Месяц назад

@@BassettBTV And How do you clean the bike?

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

@@kushagrachaudhary2317 normally I wipe it down with some rags and spray. I don’t spray it down with a hose. Just because most of the time electronics and water don’t get along. But as long as your electronics stay dry you are good.

@Guitarstar4U Месяц назад

How tall are you? What length pants do you wear? Would you still prefer the smaller frame?

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

Tall-5’9…pant length 29 to ankles. I would still prefer the regular size over the large. Best bet would to located a bike shop that has both sizes and try them out. Both sizes work there is not much of a big difference but few inches.

@Guitarstar4U Месяц назад

@@BassettBTV My wife came home yesterday with a White R step-through and a Blue L like yours. I'm 5'11, 200lbs and I wear 32" long pants. The R seems a bit small to me, like I'm sitting at attention, but it's easy to get on. The L is probably a better fit, but something I hadn't considered was having to throw a leg over the seat at 68yo, especially if there's a bag on the back. I've tried mounting and dismounting several ways and I think leaning the bike over and stepping over the bar in front of the seat is the best for getting on, and dragging a leg over the seat is the best way to get off. Not sure what anyone else does since no one seems to show how they mount one of these Blue versions on any Aventon video I've seen. I'm considering trading Blue for a L step-throughs, but I need to make up my mind by tomorrow, hmmm....

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

@@Guitarstar4U the step through is very easier to get on and off the bike. I never used a step through before so I went with more similar one. Make sure your bike will fit your body type. If you need the larger size I would return and get the larger step through.

@AMIR-gu6vc 4 дня назад

Not sure if I missed it, but how tall are u? Just want to see if the smaller version would be good for me since you’re on your tiptoes with that one

@BassettBTV 4 дня назад

I’m 5’9. I should have gotten the regular instead of the large.

@cpte.3800 Месяц назад

awesome video, how tall are you? im 6'3 and I think the large might be the one I need

@BassettBTV Месяц назад

Thank you, I’m 5’9 and wear 29 in pant length. I would personally suggest the large if you’re 6’3.

@user-tw8mf3ev9x 20 дней назад

I just purchased my first e bike at 70 yrs old,adventure 2,nice solid bike,great features but dang thing is a tank, even removing 10lb battery its a struggle to move and transport, i feel it's to much bike to ride comfortable, considering a down trade to aventon "sinch" 20lbs less weight and easier to mount ( knee issues),my a2 is step thru but getting my size 12 shoe the step thru not so good.

@BassettBTV 20 дней назад

The A2 is a very heavy duty bike. Each bike depends on your riding style and location your riding. The sinch may weight less but how comfortable will it be. Recommend testing it out in a bike shop first. Everyone’s styles are different.
