I own this model in black and absolutely love it! My injuries prevent me from a traditional bike but this bike has given me back that freedom. Definitely compliments my photography / videography getting from point A to B has been so much fun.
I'm 70 and bought the step over in lg frame . It's my first ebike and I love it. I have added a suspension seat post and adjustable handlebar stem. This is the smoothest bike I ever rode. I used to ride bikes when I was younger but don't have the power I used to have so I tried this ebike and its perfect for me. It will get me home if I get tired and help me going up hill.
A few months ago I got the step over version of this bike. its just a personal problem but I can't over the looks of the step through. I unfortunately bought it too late in the season here so I have put it up and done a few upgrades. probably the funnest was converting the chain to a wax lubricant. it was an involved process but bench testing it seems to be a huge improvement in shifting and just overall drivetrain noise. I added the front rack. A suspension seat post, and new seat. I did manage to get just over 200 miles on the clock before starting upgrades. I am super excited for next season and I will hope for some decent days this winter to get out. I know the bike can do it but this old body prolly can't. Thanks for the Great Video. I too tell everyone that will listen how great this bike is.
Im 64yrs old first time ebike owner, I purchased this bike after doing a lot of research and watching your video review. Your review is spot on. I absolutely LOVE this bike!!!!!!!! Thanks for all you guys do.
Great review! I got the large frame step through as im about 5'10. I thought I might be too short for the step over. I got it about a month ago for my daily commute. I absolutely love this bike.
i have an Ecells "Dual Star" I was going to purchase one for my wife, but it's too big and powerful for her. I think the Aventon Adventure 2 step-though would be perfect for her. She'll have enough power and ease of getting off and on the bike. Thank you for the great video.
came across this because i've been looking into e-bikes and what would hopefully fit me. my whole life my entire means of transportation has been crappy cheap-o walmart bikes that i usually have to inspect right after getting because their usually not put together right or finding broken bikes and making a franken-bike... sadly, the last few years I've been stuck at a weight of 300lbs @ 6' 1", and MANY of the places i've lived through out the US(WA, CO, NY, VA) has been VERY hilly... only one place i lived where most of it was somewhat flat ground. so certain specs of this bike was certainly appealing to me, namely the torque and power and weight limits. finding this video kinda gives me hope to this bike. been so use to regular bikes from walmart that the only weight rating on them is on the tires at 198lbs, here i am 300lbs and riding it around and hitting 40mph or faster down hills while usually having a backpack full of stuff, so it's some iffy stuff i deal with when i don't have the means for anything decent... i definitely like you're guy's test on this bike and my only question would be, that hell hill, what would you suspect a 250-300lbs person get out of it? i ask because i'm not there personally to check that hill out and such as the way they look on video vs actually being there are quite hard to tell. but the hills i'm use to, that looks like a normal and frequent type of hill to come across... also, i can't seem to find ANY difference between the step-through and the step-over versions? for me i'd just get the step over as i'm use to it. anyways, great video, very informative. i made sure to comment as i'm not the only one i've come across who has some kind of issues with driving a car or can't afford it and so on. there is many out there, like me, where they go to work and grocery shopping by walking or riding a bike and it's usually our only choice. so having a lot of info like this helps a lot as the market is saturated with e-bikes and many fakes or copies and odd brands that's unsure if it'll do ANYTHING it states and so on. so i make sure to do a LOT of research into things i tend to buy when they have a big price tag to them as i don't make much. sadly many of the prices don't help with a bunch of them either since their all over the place and i'm not an ignoramus who goes by the phrase "you get what you pay for" since in my life that has RARELY ever been the case... anyways, glad there is a bunch of reviewers for this stuff actually doing PROPER and real world tests.
I think this is a decent ebike with a UL approved battery for the money. I love the paint job and overall fit & finish. Great video! The range is not bad, 38mi on Turbo and 53 on Eco for a fat tire heavy bike. What I did not see was the rider weight (payload) when conducting the range test, and was it mixed riding on hills and flat, or only flat ground. A 160lb tester vs. a 200-250lb tester will make a difference, especially if you have hills. Also, what psi was in the tires when testing. The payload capacity is advertised as 400 lbs and I weigh about 295lbs. I am interested to see what I could get on it with a mix of flat and hills, on ECO vs Turbo. The promotion with the second battery eases my range anxiety but I am curious...
I'm trying to decide between the Aventure 2, and the Velotric Discover 2. One is a fat tire bike, the other is a commuter with 2.4 inch tires. Which do you think would be more fun? Also, do you know where I can find the minimum seat height for the Aventure 2 step through?
Greetings: Have you noticed that the display dims when the light is on. This is especially troubling during the day when you want to be seen while riding. This is true regardless of the display setting. This does not appear to be an issue during the night. This seems to be a software glitch, which, I believe, could easily be updated. Your thoughts? Thank you in advance. Nice review of bike! I have the same bike you reviewed and I'm loving it!
We're glad you're enjoying it! The dimming you're experiencing is completely normal; we see the same thing on most, if not all, e-bikes we test. We assume it is a side effect of the splitting of power between the display and the lights when they are activated.
Hi, I’m looking for an e-bike with a good range and power. I think i would be driving someone else around too and I commute 20 miles on daily. So is there any e-bike that you would recommend?
This review really didn't tell me a whole lot , I'm looking for a E bike and still don't know a whole lot of what this bike does, Do you pedal while using the throttle or is it just one or the other ,
I have an aventure 1 and upgraded to an aventure 2. I've noticed that on a couple hills, I'm able to throttle up around 8-9MPH with the Aventure1 but not really able to get up them, or at most get up them at 5MPH. Not sure what's going on as the motor should be the same. Is this something you noticed in testing?
I disagree, this adventure 2 is a tank,weighs a ton of odd weight,forget about easy vehicle transporting unless you purchase a motorcycle cycle lift hitch carrier,bike is well built but damn the weight.

I purchased the Aventure 2 and it has exceeded my expectations! It has great performance and the design and build quality is awesome!
Great to hear!
I did a test ride on this same exact bike yesterday and bought one today!
Awesome bike! 😊
It sure is!

I don't hear much motor whine in the video. Is it just your mic or is this motor quieter than the Aventure 1?
Hi, I’m looking for an e-bike with a good range and power. I think i would be driving someone else around too and I commute 20 miles on daily. So is there any e-bike that you would recommend?
Does it come with the cell phone holder you're using? If not, what model did you buy?
What gear was used climbing the hill test on pas?
This review really didn't tell me a whole lot , I'm looking for a E bike and still don't know a whole lot of what this bike does, Do you pedal while using the throttle or is it just one or the other ,
You can pedal, throttle, or pedal while throttling. It's up to you!
Im a big fan, I only looked at ul certified bikes.
Im not sure about the torque sensor idea. Can you use throttle only ? Any advice or suggestions .
You can absolutely just use the throttle!
They showed in the video that you can use throttle only.
You can use it, but only up to 20 MPH.
Wouldn't the Forest Ridge HT be a much better bike for the same price?
I have an aventure 1 and upgraded to an aventure 2. I've noticed that on a couple hills, I'm able to throttle up around 8-9MPH with the Aventure1 but not really able to get up them, or at most get up them at 5MPH. Not sure what's going on as the motor should be the same. Is this something you noticed in testing?
It's a bit more mellow on throttle. They changed settings. Still enough juice to get up hills, but a bit more conservative for better battery life.
Impressive presentation
I hope this bike motor keeps helping you past 28 mph like the aventure 1 did.
What brand of battery cells ? I would want Samsung or LG or something high quality.
It is LG battery 40v
I am 6 foot 2 inches and 350 pounds...is this the bike for me?
No. My hubby is same and it barely pulled up a hill. He got a much bigger motor
What about ride distance?
Check the chapter on the range test!
It's in the video.
They lowered the speed of the bike through a firmware update from 32 mph down to 28mph. Brutal :(
Looks like cool bike afraid to give price
1800 rn
Since prices change (especially with holiday shopping happening soon!) we just leave a link in the video description for up to date pricing!
Did I hear a Aventon Aventure 2 giveaway? 😂
Hub drive is junk.
I disagree, this adventure 2 is a tank,weighs a ton of odd weight,forget about easy vehicle transporting unless you purchase a motorcycle cycle lift hitch carrier,bike is well built but damn the weight.
