Over the years, Aventon has become a major purveyor of accessible, high-quality e-bikes. With options for everything from commuting to off-road exploring, the brand recently added the Aventure Ebike to its lineup. Available in both step-over and step-through frames, the Aventure is a powerful e-bike ready to tackle a wide range of terrains with fat 4” tires.
Equipped with a suite of perks, Aventon claims the Aventure is the most “powerful and versatile e-bike” the team has ever designed. For those looking to speed through your next trail, or put the pedal to the metal, this bike is exactly what you’re looking for.

An E-Bike For Everyone
Founded in 2012, Aventon originally focused on fixed-gear bicycles before releasing its first e-bike –– the Pace 500 –– in 2018. Since then, the team has expanded its e-bike roster to include everything from road bikes to folding models to powerful fat tire models like the Aventure. Fans of the brand celebrate its commitment to unique, durable bikes that promise comfort no matter the terrain.

Best in Class: Choose Between Class 2 or Class 3
With 4” wide knobby tires and 80mm of front suspension, the Aventure is built for sand, trails, roads, and even gravel. The bike ships as a Class 2 but can be configured as a Class 3 e-bike; meaning users can rely on either standard pedal-assist (PAS) or harness the throttle for a more powerful ride. If opting for pedal assist, users can shift between five PAS levels that max out around 28mph.
The Aventure also boasts a 720Wh Battery that can power the bike for 27 miles with no pedaling, or 53 miles on the lowest PAS level. That said, you can also use the battery to charge your phone or other external devices via a USB port located in the bike’s primary display.
