Based on our testing of hundreds of e-bikes, we’ve come to accept that certain tradeoffs usually come with those in the folding category. The increased portability resulting from their hinged frames and collapsible stems is sometimes offset by twitchier handling, unconventional geometry, and/or compromises in overall ride quality.
Like its predecessor, the Sinch.2 (which we reviewed roughly two years before the 2.5), the Aventon Sinch 2.5 seems to prioritize being a good bike first, with its folding aspect taking a backseat.
So, what’s different about this newer version of the bike? And why isn’t it called the Sinch.3?
