Durable Aluminum Frame
Aventon Aventure.2 is built with an internal battery and a 6061 Single-Butted Aluminum Alloy frame. This is a mid-range frame that is strong and sturdy, perfect for tackling all sorts of terrain.
By designing an aluminum alloy frame, Aventon has helped keep the Aventure.2’s price down, with the entire fat tire e-bike being available for just $1,999.
The bike weighs 77lb, which is heavy but what you would expect from a fat tire electric bike with a 60-mile range.
The Aventure.2’s weight could be a big deterrence for riders who need to carry or transport their bike. However, it won’t be a problem while riding thanks to the 750W motor.
Aventure.2 Components
Aventon Aventure.2 comes with basic components, complete with a Shimano Altus 8-speed drivetrain.
There are five pedal assist levels, plus the throttle. The pedal assist is regulated with a torque sensor, which gives this bike a smooth and natural ride quality, compared to standard cadence-sensing hub-drive bikes.
Aventon included a 170mm 46T crankset, and hydraulic disc brakes. For a bike at this price point, the hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors are an excellent value add.
Reliable Electronic Components
With its 48V 750W rear hub motor, the Aventure.2 has a top speed of 20mph out of the box, with the option of increasing that to 28mph. This means it ships as a Class 2 electric bike with pedal assist and throttle.
The Aventon Aventure.2 battery is a removal lithium-ion 48V 15Ah battery that offers an impressive max range of 60 miles. You can even remove the throttle if you happen to be riding in an area where throttles are prohibited.
Suspension
One of the best features of the Aventon Aventure.2 is the fork, which is a suspension fork with 80mm travel.
The fork helps cushion impacts from the road and enables the bike to tackle a wide variety of terrain including city streets, light gravel, and singletrack trails.

Zach , Thanks for the info you have provided on the Aventon Aventure. I am a 73 year male and I have my eye on the Venture step-over or the step- thru. My question is this, when Aventon advertises their bikes as Small, Medium or Large. What are they referring the size to? I know that all three size bikes come with 26×4 tires. So to me basically all three bikes are the same size/height. I have difficulty mounting the step-over bike because of an injury. But if the bike is a 24″ bike for example I could manage. Thanks Zach
Hi Jose,
That would mean frame sizes that have nothing to do with wheels. There is always a difference in terms of centimeters, and that is why bike fit is important. There are still adjustments we need to make after the recommended frame size.
