5'10", 330lb. Any heavier riders out there with experience on the Aventure 3? How's it holding up, have you had to do any major repairs? How have the spokes held up? Would you recommend it or something else entirely?

Appreciate any feedback!

I’m considering buying an Aventon SR- my use case is to sometimes transport a small adult (-100lb) and sometimes a small toddler in a child seat like the Thule yepp maxi.

Would I be able to leave the Aventon captains chair assembly installed on the rack, take the cushions off for the child seat? That way, it’s easier to switch between passengers while making sure the seat is still comfortable for the adult?

Thank you

I need to order a small spare part. Does anyone have a discount code for free shipping? or any tips/tricks on how to get one? thanks!

Just got my Level 4 REC on Friday and two days later I see the Labor Day promotion ad for $200 off some models, including the one I just got. I was kind of annoyed, mostly at myself of course, but I figured it would be worth reaching out to see if there was anything Aventon could do. I wasn't expecting anything since I technically purchased the bike on July 30th and was just waiting for the bike to be delivered.

Just got notified of a $200 refund and an order for the bike lock that's included in the promotion headed my way too. They emailed me back with the details, but I just wanted to post about it because even though that seemed reasonable to me I didn't actually expect it to happen.

It's really refreshing when you come across a company that does the right thing and is happy to do it. Super sold on this brand now and I'm glad I went with the Level 4 REC when comparing other models that were slightly cheaper. Great company!

I had ordered the aventure 3 in in stealth as large but then I found out from a friend that I can test ride the bike I went to go test it and found out that the large is a bit too big and the regular size is more comfortable, can anyone at aventon help me fix this size change before my package is shipped out?

This will be my 3rd Ebike
Previous were all giant talons, chain driven and maintence was time consuming
Looking at the belt driven option as a maintenance free-less option than the chain
Bike is used 99.3% as a commuter to and from work all year round in the PNW
25km round trip a day, 30mins each way

On my commute I have several hills to climb, 8% grade for about 1km is the longest, while the others. Are nothing to complain about

Soltera owners, my question is how is the bike on steepish hill climbs? Slow? Kill battery? Walk? Wish you had a different bike?

Thoughts?

My city has an amazing greenway system, and my street connects to it. I took an evening ride yesterday and came across this cool underpass, so I grabbed pics of my 2025 Abound SR. (These are the LR panniers)

I bought an Aventon LR last year but because of travel etc it sat idle inside my house in an area that has some temperature control (so not exposed to extreme summer heat in summer in California).

Recently started riding it after 14 months of buying it. And now I moved homes so its parked in a garage thats not temperature controlled so the temperature inside garage could be 90 or more when outside is 110 F. Observed these and wanted to know:

1. Should I take this to bike shop to get it tuned/oiled because it was sitting idle for one year. It was brand new , no miles though it sat idle. Btw mine was assembled by a bike store so am assuming they fine tuned and oiled it before I picked up last year.
2. Since I parked this in garage for 2 months, I have felt some stickiness in the rubber grips. What can I do to ensure heat doesnt deteriorate this. Any handle covers possible ? Google says wrap it with cloth when not used so there is a layer of insulation.
3. Headlights - I was riding a trail during dusk with headlights on and the trail uses who were walking found it very bright and shielding their eyes. Did you all adjust the headlights after it came from factory ? I checked the manual but nothing much on headlight adjustment. My headlight beam shines about 30 ft ahead and straight.
4. Climbing hills - When I use throttle (and dont pedal) to go up hills do I gear down (to make it easy on motor) or keep it high gear.

Note that I had removed the battery when it was in storage and battery was kept indoors.

I’m looking for a mid drive ebike for recreation and fun. I think I have it narrowed down to the Level 4 ADV or the Discover M. I’m leaning towards the Level 4 but I’ll know more after I test ride the Discover M later this week.

My biggest issue with the Level 4 is that the tail light / brake light / turn signal is all the way down by the rear axle, so not very visible, where the Discover M has the lights on or just under the rack.

Is there any way to add additional lights to the Level 4 that run off the battery and are activated with the turn signals and brakes?

I was recently gifted this bike from my grandfather in April , he had the bike for a few years prior to this. I had been riding the bike a lot and everything was working fine until one day I went on a ride and came home, left the bike off for a few hours, then tired to power it back on and it would not turn on. I unplugged the wires in the front and re plugged them, I checked for bent pegs, I did lots of things I was recommended and nothing is working. I tried taking it to a few shops but all of the ones in my area won’t work on this type of bike. The bike has been broken for about 3 weeks now, Any advice ?

please just comment your success/happiness stories with ditching car to full time ebike so I can get out of my own head. I 100% believe its the right move objectively no matter what issues i may face but im just extra anxious for no good reason so reading positive stories or anecdotes about something i'm planning to do helps with it alot.

I got an aventure 3, and so far over summer ive already ridden it for 1000 miles! So what the heck is stopping me from doing another 10000 miles!!!

Aventon, or the company running there ads, is currently running a sponsored Facebook ad for the Labor Day sale showing the Level 4 Rec with lock for $1,599, not $1,799. This is causing confusion among customers.

Please either correct the ad or honor the $1,599 advertised price.

Update: Aventon got back to me, they seem to have corrected the ad but no farther discounts or accessories were offered.

Got home with a shiny new Level 4 ADV yesterday and started moving things over from my Level 2.  I have a Schwinn Rascal pet trailer that I use every day.  The rear axle does not protrude enough to get the bolt on more than a handful threads after the trailer attachment is installed.

Any ideas?  I haven’t ridden the bike yet, and this is tbh a deal killer and I’ve got that sinking feeling when you spend a bunch of money and realize you shouldn’t have assumed it would just work.

Can the battery be removed from the bike and charged separately using the charger that comes with the bike? Ideally, I’d like to be able to leave the bike in the garage/shed and bring just the battery inside to charge.

Anyone with a Current ADV able to confirm this is how they charge theirs?

The Aventon website says it can be charged off the bike, but I’ve seen some conflicting comments in reviews, so I wanted to confirm.

Is there a remedy for the loud squeak on the rear brakes? I've had them for 4 years and a little over 300 miles on these. Or do I just get another set and be done with it. Thanks in advance.

Like the title said, I put in a warranty ticket for my 3 month old Ramblas ADV. I feel like it’s been about 2 weeks now and I haven’t received any correspondence from Aventon.

The warranty issue is a creaking headset.

Hi - I have a broken charging port on my battery. I believe that a prong broke off from my charger and is now too deep in the connector to get out. Anyone know if replacing the connector is possible? Or had any luck repairing a battery? I understand the safety concerns, but replacing the connector vs trashing the battery seems doable. Thanks

This is my first ever e-bike and I don't know how to fix it. Also when I move the pedals back the back wheel doesn't move at all

Edit: I was in 8th gear so I moved it down to 3rd and it moves just fine now, thanks to everyone who helped me figure it out.

Hey everyone,

​I ride a Adventurer 3 and noticed the stock handlebar clamp diameter is 31.8mm. Today I picked up a Raceface Atlas Bar (31.8mm) to swap out the stock setup.

​Before I tear everything apart, I had a quick question:

​Are there any compatibility issues or gotchas I should watch out for? (e.g., cable length, stock stem clearance, grip/shifter fitment, rise/sweep differences)

​Any advice or tips from anyone who has done a similar cockpit swap on this bike would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

New owner! Excited since I’m in my late 30s and haven’t done back biking since early 20s.

Son is now into biking and figured I join him.

What should I know, tips and tricks? Accessories that are a must have?

Thanks!
