Aventon Aventure 2 Review
 

When it debuted back in 2021, the Aventon Aventure set a new standard for what e-bikers could expect from a fat tire electric bike under $2000. Heck, you don’t even have to get category-specific; the Aventure largely reset the bar for what any sub-$2000 e-bike could achieve: a delightfully powerful motor, great handling, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, solid battery life, and sleek styling to boot. So with our Aventon Aventure 2 review, we find a bike that built upon its predecessor’s original achievements by dialing in precisely on the rider’s feel and experience.

That focus can be attributed to refining a lot of little details, and we’ll touch on each of those, but perhaps the single largest one can be summed up in two words: torque sensor.

Pedego Avenue Review

Amidst the boom in e-bike sales, riders are increasingly seeking a lightweight commuter bike that handles like a regular commuter bike, and gives them at least 30 miles of power assist. Responding to their demands, U.S. e-bike giant Pedego sent us the new Pedego Avenue to review. With its lightweight frame, sleek design, and proven power train, this commuter bike wowed us in how it delivers power and range for urban and suburban commuters to relish.

The Avenue is a medium/large commuter bike that does a great job disguising the fact that it’s an e-bike. Featuring a 17” aluminum frame, with 28” wheels,and two frame sizes: the Step-thru (good for riders 5’1 – 5’8”), and a 19” Classic frame (good for riders 5’4” to 6’1”). Weighing in at a little over 52 lbs. (including motor and battery), the Avenue is lighter than most e-bikes when it comes to loading it onto your bike rack, or wheeling it up the stairs to your apartment. It features a 500-watt gear driven motor, a 10.4-amp hour battery (a 14-amp hour battery is available for an additional $250), 28” (700 cm) wheels, rigid suspension, and mechanical disc brakes.
