The ultimate all-terrain adventure utility bike! The Aventure.2 is the new-and-improved version of Aventon's already-popular Aventure model, a monster fat tire e-bike that can handle any terrain thanks to all that tire air volume and a suspension fork. It works well as a utility commuter too, equipped with full-coverage fenders, a cargo rack, and a full suite of lighting and signaling accessories... although finding places to park it can be tough due to its imposing size. This is a class 2/3 hybrid capable of 20mph on the throttle, or 28mph using only pedal assistance. Pedaling should be a great experience too, because the Aventure.2 has a torque sensor, making for a much more responsive motor performance.

What Other Experts Are Saying
Before purchasing a personal electric vehicle costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars, it's important to do your research to make sure you get the right one! Even though we'd love to personally review every single EV out there, there's just too many out there for us to possibly cover them all. That's why we've worked hard to curate reviews from other experts in the industry. We only show an excerpt of each review here; please use the "Read Full Review" button to get the full story on their website and support their excellent work!
"If I weren’t reviewing this thing, I would have immediately taken it to a bike shop to have experts assemble it. It’s just too risky to put things like this together yourself at home if you don’t know what you’re doing. Mess up the brake alignment on a bike this big and heavy, and that’s a real recipe for personal and potentially community disaster when you crash into someone at the park. Disclosures aside..."
"With features like a lockable 80mm travel suspension fork and 4-inch wide knobby tires, it's clear that Aventon intended the Aventure.2 to be a versatile adventure-ready e-bike. It is by no means a proper electric mountain bike for use on technical trails, but it performs well on a wide range of surfaces, from paved and gravel roads to smooth trails, sand, and probably even light snow. The suspension fork helps to sm..."
"Hub motors and torque sensors are still not too commonly found in the e-bike marketplace. I suspect that Aventon is again at the forefront of a trend that many others will follow. The original Aventure came with a color LCD display, an 8-speed drivetrain, and hydraulic disc brakes at a time when many other affordable fat tire e-bikes were riding with black and white displays, using 7-speeds with mechanical brakes. No..."
"Electric bikes are so popular and plentiful right now that it can be hard to tell them apart. The Aventon Aventure 2, however, stands out by leaning into the little extras that show attention to detail and offer more value than the similarly priced competition. It's these little things that make for an overall better experience. For example, the $1,899 Aventure 2 bike ships with a small packet of grease, which is u..."
"A torque sensor gives you near-instant motor response when you step on the pedal, instead of the laggy response of a cadence sensor that can take a pedal revolution or two to kick in. That’s a game-changer off-road where tricky terrain can compound a rough start. The top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) likely won’t have too much of an impact on most off-roaders since you rarely ever get the chance to go that fast on t..."
"The Aventon Aventure.2 comes with a Shimano 1×8 drivetrain and four modes of pedal assistance, including Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo. The further up the range you go, the more power I felt supporting pedal strokes. With its included torque sensor, the bike felt incredibly responsive to input. It was not a bike that will take off on a rider unexpectedly or give them an unwanted jolt. Slower, softer pedaling resulted..."
"Aventon advertises up to 60-mile range per charge. That’s largely dependent on what assist mode you use, what terrain you ride on, and other riding conditions. If you just use the throttle without pedaling, Aventon says you can get up to 30 miles out of a single charge. My first ride on the Aventure.2 was a ten-mile round trip. I used a mix of pedaling assist and throttle, and I kept the assist level on the highes..."
