Simplicity can be a beautiful thing, especially in a lightweight city/urban e-bike.
As a burgeoning e-bike reviewer, one of my first experiences with Aventon was the brand’s original Soltera model. In contrast with many of the heavy, and powerful fat tire e-bikes that dominated the market—and which felt more like motorcycles than
bicycles—the Soltera presented a stripped-down, simplified, and much more analog-like experience.
More recently, the Soltera 2 upped the ante with a much more natural-feeling and responsive ride, all thanks to its torque sensor. This version of the bike also added a more robust package of features, including integrated turn signals, a thumb throttle, and app connectivity, without departing from the soul of Aventon’s first Soltera
model.
Now, the Soltera 3 ADV feels like a merging of the bike’s previous iterations. It features the torque-sensing pedal assist, Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated lights and turn signals of the Soltera.2. It borrows the spartan cockpit layout and single-speed drivetrain of the original Soltera. Additionally, it offers a longer wheelbase and a low weight of just 39 lbs.
