Great, very informative and clear. I just bought the Aventon step thru in the cobalt blue I bought it after I saw this post for the first time about two months ago.
I bought this 3 months ago, wo this video. Rorque sensor I didn't understand till this vid I'm 62 yo old lady, just wish I had heard about the bike weight issues first I'm used to ultra light bikes and, well, bike weight matters. It is so fun though 1😍
I follow you on your RC review page. I'm looking to upgrade my Aventure 1st gen and saw you reviewing this i was pumped!! Im bike fan of your review. ! Subscribed!!!
Great review, and great explanation of a torque sensor! I've always ridden e-bikes with Bosch or Shimnao e-assist that are mid-drive and use a torque sensor. I do have a fat tire bike for snow with a Bafang M620 mid-drive motor with a torque sensor and I can see that the value priced bikes are definitely made hugely better now that some are coming out with torque sensors. Even hub motors with torque sensors - that's great.
I'm trying to decide between the Aventon Level 2 and the Adventure 2. Not sure if I really need the fat tires and more off road capable bike that is 24 pounds heavier?
@@exbballfan maybe he didn't know it had a torque sensor before watching the video ..... so not nice, Mr Davis. Giving feedback to manufacturers in a public forum in a free country is alright with 99.99% of us. Companies DO watch these sites, you know. I won't tell you that you have no right to your opinion, but I do say you might need some work on your tact.
How much leg power do you really need with the torque sensor on the 750w Aventure. His young daughter, whom I'm assuming doesn't have as much leg power as me even at 68 years old, was flying up that really steep hill like it was flat ground.
I got an lectric premium on sale for $1500 with the middrive and torque sensor, love that it folds up and has 100 mile range. Outside of the Aventures color screen and turn signals, I feel the Lectric is better overall and has great customer service but get what you like the most. I sold my Aventon Aventure, it was hair lighter but felt cheap and the step through area was too small, it would hit my balls when i would use it that way.
@@unknowncaller4739 how doesnt it compare? Its cheaper and better in most areas. I've owned both and hated the Aventon, the reviews for it on bestbuy are horrible and lectric is the #1 best selling ebike for a reason.
Since pedal assist is capable of higher cruising speed than throttle, which is legally limited lower in Class 2 and Class 3, I find the torque sensor a detriment to enjoyment of the bike. I want the maximum speed the bike can give me, not be reduced by my aging leg power. Torque sensor robs me of speed on open roadways. Cadence is not unsafe, the rider should have bike in the right mode for the situation, ie. not be in turbo mode while getting a bike through narrow gates or out of a storage area, for example. And I'm not using the bike off-road where someone needs to avoid obstacles like trees and rocks, and a torque sensor may help them control the bike better. Now that we have two types of power control out there, I hope top manufacturers will give us both on all bikes, and allow the rider to choose which is needed in any situation for the type of riding we do.
I won’t buy another Aventon bike. I purchased my Aventure (costing $1999) last May 2022. They switched out the Shimano Acera for an Altus which will not stay in adjustment like other rear derailleurs. Even though the website says they substitute equal or better components they refused to resolve the problem. Instead, Aventon’s customer service insinuated I wasn’t shifting gears properly. I’ve been riding and working on bikes my whole life. They also shipped a 657Wh battery (printed on the label attached to the battery) instead of the specified 720Wh battery. Now, after 10 months/560 miles, the bottom bracket has a noticeable clic/pop when heavier pressure is applied to the crank. I’ve learned my lesson. My replacement bike will be either a Ride1Up or Trek. Buyer beware!!!

Glad it helped! I try to get deeper into the weeds to provide insight to prospective buyers.

Nice review! It’s refreshing to see some very budget friendly e-bikes.
Hey I used to live in that neighborhood. I love those trails.
No way man? Saratoga, CA? The bike has allowed me to explore the neighborhood fully. They've put in a trail alongside the whole railroad track line.
Yep used to ride that all the time.
Hi, New to your channel great review thank you !! 👍

Last thing I want is a torque sensor because of a bad knee. If it wasn't for a cadence sensor I couldn't ride at all.
I don't have any injury, but age deprives me of leg power. So I sympathize with and agree with your opinion of torque sensor.
Ok. So why are you watching this video.
@L Davis Because I answered why a torque sensor is NOT a must-have... duh

are you also revieweing the level 2 ?
Most definitely!
Definitely helped in my decision.

the lectric can’t compare my costumers love the aventon

@@FriarPop Aventon is just a better ebike is all I’m saying
@@unknowncaller4739 by better you mean not top 5 even? got it.
@@FriarPop I don’t own any stock in either company my customers just seem to prefer the Aventon.
Someone below claims Aventon has no warranty unless you purchase one. Is that true?
Answering my own question, I just saw on their website that Aventon has a 2-year warranty, up from the previous 1-year warranty.

Nice video. New subscriber.
Much appreciated Robert. More to come, especially from Aventon. You own an ebike yet or looking?
I like if I give 2 and get 8 back… much better! Cadence sensor

It's not under 2k. After taxes, yeah, it's under 2k, but are you really going to spend all that money and not at least buy the one year warranty?
