Excellent review particularly when you contrasted the cadence sensor to the new torque sensor one of the best explanations with real life examples I've seen

I just happened Up on this bike today and fell in love with the looks alone but when the trusted salesman showed me the feature set and was explaining things to me. I was just sold even more. I'm coming from a hard rock 29 er by specialies and move into the size. It will Feel like the right move towards an ebike thank goodness. Give me 2-3 months and this thing will be mine!!! Affirm is turning into one of my best friends lol!😅 This will be my first Ebike! can't wait to give it a test ride come monday!

Expecting my Aventure 2 this Friday. So excited. This is the most informative and comprehensive video I've seen so far, and I've watched a lot. Thanks guys.

Just picked up my new Adventure 2. Can’t wait to start riding.

Thanks for the awesome review which helped my decision to purchase this bike and used your link above. Really appreciate it. You guys are awesome!

Ryan, I gotta say you have some of the best reviews on YouTube. I usually prefer shorter ones but with yours I don’t even notice the time go by😂

Excellent review, and I've always appreciated Aventon's design and finishes. The turn signals are too low for fellow riders in groups, and I'm not sure how effective they would be in heavy traffic, but I'd still like to have them. Very happy to see working brake lights, so props to Aventon for that. The rack looks great and seems sturdy, so that's a plus, but I don't think I'd ever get used the throttle being on the wrong side. The torque sensor is a nice addition, and usually feels more "natural", but guess what? I'm a former marathon cyclist who has led tours through multiple countries, and I prefer a good cadence sensor. Why? Because a good cadence sensor is not just an on/off switch. They can have ramp-up curves, pickup and release parameters, and the one I have gives dynamic pedal assist that gives me an automatic boost on startup and hill climbs. I would absolutely prefer torque sensing over a simple switch, but if cadence sensing with tuning options is available, I'd go that route. One thing I have seen on all the different group rides, is that the guys with torque sensors on long rides always finish exhausted and last.

Another great review, guys! The torque sensor is one of main reasons I took a serious look at this...and now may buy one or two.

Already ordered mine before I watched your video. I was feeling iffy cause of all the bikes out there, but now I'm so excited for mine to get here. Thanks for a great review.

Another great review by Ebike Escape! I have the Aventure 1 and I think the cadence sensor works great! Overall a really great bike!

Awsome bike great video guys thanks for all your hard work👍👍

Funny, I literally just bookmarked a HovAlpha 26 yesterday, because it is very similar to the Aventure 1 and competitor fat tire ebikes, but it has a torque sensor. It was the first fat tire ebike I saw with one (in the price range). A torque sensor is high on my "preferred option" list due to the natural feeling it can provide. Now, I can reconsider the Aventure in my short list again! I like this, because of the dealer network. I'm sure the Zebra and HovAlpha (along with a few others) are awesome bikes, and they do go toe to toe with the Aventure, but the torque sensor and local dealer network are huge considerations for me. Good timing on this review 😁 For the record, and since you asked, I love the idea of a torque sensor. With the caveat that I haven't ridden either, I don't quite get the interest in cadence sensors. If I want the bike to move me, I'll use the throttle. If I want to work a little, I'll pedal. And with a torque sensor, I won't have to worry about ghost pedaling so much, since no pressure feedback = no speed improvement. With that said, I think it would benefit Aventon to continue providing both Aventure 1 and 2 bikes. Some people may prefer Cadence, and if they stop selling those, they will lose out on those customers. Perhaps the Aventure 3 has both options (Cadence or Torque). Aventon will have to study their customer base if they decide to stick to only one or the other.

Great job on the review.

The turn signals is something I would always use and I would really appreciate! I wish I had an upgrade available for adding signals to front and back. The more the better.

You guys have the ultimate job. Testing out amazing E Bikes. Any info and specs would be greatly appreciated…

This is going to be my next bike... I have a Sinch, and love it!!

Great review mates. Because of your detailed review will have to go get one. Cheers.

I like the cadiance sensor and it allows more options while riding when combining the gears and PA levels. My bike has 0-9 levels.

If I purchase this bike I'd most likely upgrade that Derailer to atleast a Deore or SLX if I could find one that matches up to the gearset. I understand Aventon wants to keep the price at a certain level. I just hope upgrading the shifter/derailer will be pretty seamless. What I would have liked to see in the Aventure 2 even if the cost went up a bit. Maybe an Aventure 2 plus or Ultra model option? 52V Battery, 1000W motor, Ability to do over 30mph, higher end shifter/derailer/cassette, while I like the included sturdy rear rack.. I do wish it extended further back so I could have more mounting options.
