Love my Purple Ramblus updated wheels and dropper post lever! It helps my mental game, as I battle cancer with this beast!
God Bless You Bro, keep on trucking. That Purple Ramblas is very nice, I am very close to buying one, although I have a Level 2 that will be delivered tomorrow or Monday. Aventon's Ramblas is the most revolutionary eMTB ever produced, by far.
The review I have been waiting for. I back the main man up here and say this bike is awesome. I have one and love every minute of it. The hardtail is value added and not a subtraction.
Great review, by far the most thorough take and easy to understand. I’m glad I got my Ramblas when I did. I thought it was difficult to come by before, this positive review is about to make twice as hard to find one at local shops 😂
I see you ran into issues uploading/processing, but it looks good to me in 4k on my AppleTV. All the best, Vincenzo.
Yeah RUclips was not being nice. But it worked its self out after a few.
My bike shop said they were getting one in within the week and I up and bought one of my own anyways (to fair they were getting the M and I knew I needed XL).
Great review ! I am a dealer for this brand and just purchased for the showroom . How much does this bike weigh? I’m sorry if I missed it in the review thank you.
I don't have the exact weight but I believe it is around 65 lbs. Not very lite but plenty of power to make up for it.
Love my Ramblas. The light mount is a bit weak, and should have been made of CNC aluminum. It's the one area that can't be upgraded easily as it has a different mount from even other Aventon models. Mine broke under normal use. I also had some slight issues with the dropper clutch after breakin but nothing big deal. Love the bike!
Can’t wait to see how this holds up this summer! Wow this looks awesome, great review Mike
We found the rattle was from the battery cover. I took some foam tape and stuck it to the back of the cover and it cleared up most of the noise.
Oh man, great review. I was anxious to hear your take on the componentry and how it holds up to similar trails I like to ride and you did an amazing job. Thanks!
I am really looking forward to putting a lot more miles on this bike over the summer to see how it holds up. But so far it is a great bike.
I too have this bike and was able to use the stock rims with tubeless ready tires and covert it. I went with the Michelin Wild AM's and love them as I have used them on my standard hardtail. Great overall bike but I however had to swap out the cable housing, cable and dropper post lever in order to get my dropper post to operate properly. Way too much slack shoved into the frame as I quickly found out upon inspection, causing kink in cable. But she's butter smooth now and really enjoying this bike. Turbo mode is EPIC!!!
Great to know about the tubeless setup.
NICE upgrades have the PNW suspension dropper post game changer . Cable routing pain in the butt ,being a 67 year old ,but accomplished. Good to know about tubless rims thanks.
16:31 I ordered on. Going with new tubeless rings and higher me maxis tires. A 2.6 in the rear . Dealers and RUclipsrs say no stock rims cannot be taped/sealed.
What’s the reasoning behind your spec change? Just curious
Great review on the Ramblas….thank you so much!
Awesome review! Thank you Mike! 🙌🏻
Thanks for making a killer bike.
bought this bike because of this review. used your link above when i did. thanks again for your opinion.
Wow thank you so much. I hope you like it as much as I do.
I just ordered mine, should arrive in a few days. Im in Sydney, Australia so its hard to get here, only 1 retailer
Excellent. Do you know the length of the cranks?
On the large it is 165mm
I just bought mine a week ago and have been buying upgrades for it but only have put 15 miles so far. I'm really liking it and am right now looking for tubeless tires ......
Congrats.
What upgrades are you getting for it?
@@RunBikeMike I got the Ergon type grips like my regular mtn bike, a huge mirror for the left side so I don't have to turn my head all of the time, a small handlebar bag, some PDX G11 pedals and I ordered the Continental Kryptotal and Argotal tires that will be here probably tonight. Am going to fill them with the FlatOut tire sealer. I'm finding the brakes are good but eventually I'd like to install some XT or XTR shifter- derailleur combo because I hate the Sram shifting ..... I have XT brakes and XTR shifters and derailleur on my mountain bike and have always thought that they were the best ..... and my brain is on auto with them. I find the saddle to be perfectly fine right now.
Great Review. Question I'm 6' 1" and weigh about 172 to 180. Summer heat slims me down. I've been leaning towards the extra large. Would that be a better fit than the large size? At almost 60 like you I just like the flatter trails, no jumps or low jumps and berms. Both colors are good but the Purple pops. Thanks again for the video. Happy Trails. 🤠.
At 6’1” the xl might be the better choice forsure.
I own one and love it, but yes the bottom bracket clanging, can be Annoying. Great review. 👍
I nearly purchased an Aventon Ramblas last week, but after a test ride, I decided against it. There was no bike dealers in my town so I had to drive 150 km to Victoria, BC, just to find a bike shop that allowed test rides. Kudos to Aventon for the 100 Nm torque engine, which is excellent for larger riders like myself (220 lbs) when climbing hills. The torque is impressive, but unfortunately, Aventon cut corners on other aspects of the bike. In my opinion, the harmonics and overall ride quality are not well-matched. The cheap front forks combined with the hardtail design make this one of the roughest e-bikes I've ever ridden. I felt every bump on the trail in my wrists and back during the test ride. Additionally, the 100 Nm torque engine sounds like an over-revved electric drill and is much louder compared to other e-bike engines like Bosch or Yamaha. Ultimately, the Ramblas wasn’t the right fit for me, and I ended up finding a better match with a GasGas Enduro on sale. Happy trails, everyone!
It’s good you got to try it. You really have to find what works best for you.
@@markpetrovcic893 curious what you ended up getting then or what are you eyeing as the best emtb. I am also about 220+.
Can a rear rack be attached to the Ramblas?
It doesn’t have mount points so you would have to get one made for a bike with no rack mount points.
@@RunBikeMike if you added one that attached to the dropper post would that cause grief? I have one that just attaches to the seat stem on my Specialized Hardrock mtb.
@troup1998 if it is below on the part of the dropper that doesn’t move then it should be fine. Just don’t over tighten it.
I do wish they had designed fender options into the design.
I test rode this on Tuesday. It was a great, fun ride, and that turbo really does blast off. However, the gear levels to shift are funky. Both go in the same direction, but it's not as intuitive.
SRAM is different if you aren’t use to it. I rode Shimano for years and the 1st time with SRAM I was like how does this work.
It is a bit odd at first and so much louder than anything else I've ever had. But so far, I love it.
Great review. Thank you !
How do I buy this bike for the price you displaced
Unfortunately, the ebike market has changed for imports over the last few months. So some bikes have seen prices changes. I hope it will be on sale soon.
Can you change the max speed to 20mph
It comes set to 20mph from the factory
Great price point. And pretty solid geo.
kinda expensive for a hardtail
@@mikec4308 you'd be surprised
You’re one of the few people who’ve tested the Ramblas and the Summit. Right now, I ride a velotric T1 st and I’m considering another bike. I’m split between this and the summit. My bike use case is a lot of paved and some light trail riding. Mostly paved though. I thought I’d like the higher speed of the summit but now I’m considering that I might actually prefer the mid drive. If you needed one bike to do everything which would you choose?
I would go mid drive but it is a very personal decision. I do a lot more mtb riding than road. The summit hits 31mph so it is very quick. But the Ramblas mid drive is super precise for technical trails. Plus the components on the Ramblas are much higherend.
If you’re truly looking for one to do it all, I would pick a mid drive over a rear drive just for simplicity of changing flats. Especially if you’re commuting on it.
That's a heck of a bike for the money.
I agree
Love my Rambles. Dropper post leaver sucks tho
The rattling from the motor is unacceptable for a bike that costs this much. Period.
Up to 80mi it says...daaamn...
waiting for them to get real on canadian dollar prices. $4299 is a joke for this bike
4.5k in clownada ROFL
Aventon doesn't build their own frame and motor. These are made in China and contracted through 3rd Party manufacturers. Sure, did Aventon help design them, absolutely. But to say they built them is misleading. Also, this is how almost all manufacturers have their products made so it's not abnormal. Very few manufacturers actually build their own products.
They do own the factory for their frames. They design them and build them in their factory. They work with a motor company to make a custom motor just for them.
If you want to get technical then basically no one makes their own anything haha.
They own the plant in China. According to Chief Executive Magazine, they have plans to build a US plant in 2025.
The founder JW Zhang has deep connections on both sides of the pond being Chinese American.
The motor is co-produced and manufactured by third party, but the frame is not.
I mean they do own the factory.
Almost every big bike brand uses overseas manufacturing. Trek, Specialised, Giant, Cervelo, most Pinarello models, Santa Cruz, IBIS, and Canyon (just to name a few) all use overseas manufacturing.
Can you charge this bike on the go?
You need to bring the charging cable and have a place to plug it in is all. It won’t regen if that is what you are asking.
@@RunBikeMike Thank you for replying. I know it wont regen but I guess I was wondering whether a battery pack can even help...Does it even have USB feeds?
@osint6372 no unfortunately it can’t charge via usb. It has a proprietary charging plug.
@@RunBikeMike
Thank you.....Good review......I ride bikes in general...road and otherwise.....and compared to the BIG Brands this is a cheap and viable alternative.....Ther others just sell names as well.
I am not sure whether I like a throttle vs pedal assist for a mixed terrain bike, one that I can casually take on a ppaved path or on a gravel path. I also cannot see if their web site offers different forks, tubeless tires, etc. Obviously compatibility matters.....
