The Aventon Abound does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Aventon Aventure 2 is the one to justify not buying.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the two land within 5% of each other, which is inside the error on any of these inputs. Cost is not the deciding factor here.

That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Aventon Abound covers about 35,840 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.

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.
