What I said about the Aventon Abound
A step-through longtail cargo e-bike that hauls kids and groceries and is easy to share between riders.
After several weeks of testing, I think the Abound is a great option if you want a cargo e-bike. The 750W motor gives smooth, steady power with a load on the back, it's easy to get on and off thanks to the step-through frame, and touches like turn signals and the dropper post make it practical for a family. Just know the price can creep from about $2,200 toward $3,000 once you add accessories.

- 750W motor felt smooth and steady, even hauling
- 440 lb total capacity for kids, groceries, and gear
- Turn signals that shut off on their own after about 10 blinks
- Dropper seatpost makes it easy to share with another rider

- Comfortable grips that support your palm
Didn't
- No chain slap guard; my frame got scratched during testing
- Headlight sits under the front basket, which I found less visible than mounting it on the basket
- Accessories can push the total close to $3,000
What I said about the Aventon Abound LR
If you need to carry kids, a passenger or a lot of cargo, the Aventon Abound LR is a great option, and I'd highly recommend it.
If you need to carry kids, a passenger or a lot of cargo, the Aventon Abound LR is a great option, and I'd highly recommend it. LR stands for long rear. Next to the Abound SR (standard rear), you get a lot more room on the back for bigger kids or even an adult. I'm about 200 lbs. I sat on the back of this bike and felt sturdy. The rear rack is rated for 143 lbs. You get a torque sensor, a 750W motor, hydraulic disc brakes, a thumb throttle that works from zero and a kickstand that keeps the bike steady while you load it. At about $2,000, I think that's pretty decent for a torque sensor bike from a brand where you know what you're getting in terms of quality.
