The Aventon Aventure 2 is a mountain bike style e-bike with a 720 Wh battery and a hub motor. Its most distinctive number is its torque: 40 Nm, which is 50% below the median for its type. That makes it a weaker climber than most comparable e-bikes.
It suits riders who want a sturdy, high-capacity e-bike for commuting or leisure, not intense off-road use. You get a fast class bike that assists up to 45 km/h, but no throttle. It is not foldable and has no step-through frame, so you need to swing your leg over.

Questions people ask
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 28.1 kg, exactly the median for its type. That is heavy, so you will feel it when lifting or carrying. Plan for a sturdy kickstand and a good lock.
How much torque does it have?
Torque is 40 Nm, half the median of 80 Nm. This means less assistance on steep hills or when accelerating from a stop. It is fine for flat terrain, but not for aggressive riding.
What speed class is it?
It is a fast class e-bike, with assistance up to 45 km/h. That is above the 25 km/h limit for standard e-bikes. Check local rules, as some areas restrict fast class bikes.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 97 km, but the MathBikes estimated range is 42 km, with a band of 37 to 47 km. That estimate is 57% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. See the range calculator for details.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1999 USD, 5% above the median of 1899 USD. Running costs include electricity and maintenance, but the warranty is not listed. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The biggest weakness is the low torque. With 40 Nm, you get half the pulling power of the average bike in its class. That makes steep hills and off-road climbs a struggle, especially if you carry weight.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who value battery capacity and speed over torque. It is best for flat or rolling terrain, where the low torque is less noticeable. You also need to handle a heavy bike without a step-through frame.
- You commute on mostly flat roads and want a long battery range.
- You want a fast class e-bike that can reach 45 km/h.
- You are comfortable lifting a 28.1 kg bike and don't need a throttle.
Look elsewhere if you live in a hilly area or plan serious off-road riding. The low torque will frustrate you. Also, if you need a step-through frame or a throttle, this bike does not offer them.
