Who each one is for
Aventon Abound
Suits you if you want:
- 80 Nm of torque, which is steep-hill territory
- built to carry a load rather than just a rider
- rated to 150 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 48 km estimated, which covers a 24 km each-way commute
What it asks in return:
- 34 kg, which is a bike you park rather than carry
Aventon Aventure 2
Suits you if you want:
- fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
- rated to 136 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 42 km estimated, which covers a 21 km each-way commute
What it asks in return:
- 40 Nm of torque, so long climbs will ask for your legs
- fast class, so it is registered and helmeted in most places
Each line above is read straight from the specification: torque, weight, payload, battery and our range estimate. Nothing here is a preference, and neither bike is being recommended over the other.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the Aventon Aventure 2 costs about 300 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.
That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Aventon Abound covers about 39,093 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Aventon Aventure 2, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict

Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
