Aventon Sinch.2 Frame
Aventon Sinch.2 is special because of its folding frame. And not only is the frame foldable, but so are the pedals and handlebars. Unfolded, the Sinch has dimensions of 67″ x 23.25″ x 46″. Folded, the bike is as small as 46″/28″/30″. This is small enough to fit into a car trunk, or onto a train or bus.
However, the Sinch.2 is quite heavy for a folding bike.
In total, the Aventon Sinch weight is 68lb, which may make it difficult for some cyclists to lift, or carry the bike up a flight of stairs.
The frame is made of a 6061 Double-Butted Folding Aluminum Alloy frame, and the battery is internal to the frame. There is also a front suspension fork, providing 45 mm travel and lockout.
The Aventon Sinch.2 comes in a single frame size which fits more adults from 4’11” to 6’2” and is only available as a step-through. This frame allows for easy mounts and dismounts, making this e-bike suitable for riders with limited mobility and flexibility.
Sinch.2 Components
The Aventon Sinch.2 comes with an impressive array of components, including an 8-speed drivetrain.
With a 170mm, 52T crankset, you will be able to pedal comfortably up to 24 mph. The bike also comes with a throttle on demand. This means that you can use the throttle from a complete stop.
The Sinch.2 can also be unlocked using the Aventon app, which allows you to modify the bike’s speed limit to go up to above the factory-set maximum speed.
The Aventon Sinch.2 includes a huge amount of accessories, such as a rear rack, lights with rear turn signals, and fenders. It also includes a BC280 LCD Smart Easy Read Display that pairs seamlessly with the Aventon app.
Pedals are included and come in the form of 9/16” alloy plastic. One of the most useful features of the Aventon Sinch.2 is that the pedals fold.
Motor and Battery
A 500W motor (peak 750W) is quite powerful for a folding e-bike. You’ll be able to do more than zip around the city on the all-terrain Aventon Sinch.2 which is designed for all kinds of riding.
The Sinch.2 has a maximum speed of 20mph out of the box, but you can increase its top speed to 24mph using the Aventon app.
The battery is a removable Lithium-ion 48V, 14Ah (672 Wh) unit that lasts up to 55 miles. This is impressive for a folding electric bike.
