What I said about the Aventon Ramblas

Aventon's first mid-drive and first real e-mountain bike: a hardtail that climbs like crazy and is built better than I expected for the price.

After several weeks on the trails, this is the Aventon I'd pick right now, mostly because trail riding is what I like to do. The A100 motor's torque is insane for how small the power number looks, and it pushed me up every hill I pointed it at. You get a dropper post and a RockShox fork that you'd usually pay extra for, and the welds and finish are some of the best I've seen on an Aventon. I'm keeping this one and plan to do a longer 100 or 200 mile follow-up.

My video review, published

Liked

  • Huge torque from the A100 mid-drive on climbs; don't let the 250W rating fool you
  • Dropper post comes standard, with the cable hidden inside the frame
  • RockShox fork and a SRAM Eagle 12-speed with plenty of gears for climbing
  • Display is tucked under the bar, so it's less likely to crack in a crash
  • Very clean cockpit, lock-on grips, and a chain slap guard that keeps the frame quiet
  • Smooth welds and a great color; one of the best-built Aventons I've tested

Didn't

  • Hardtail only, no rear suspension
  • Headlight is optional (I didn't install it)
  • Charger uses a proprietary plug, so don't lose it or you'll be buying another from Aventon

What I said about the Aventon Aventure M

Aventon's mid-drive fat tire bike with Auto assist and auto-shifting. Responsive, comfortable, and now my top pick.

After several weeks on gravel and dirt, this is probably the e-bike I'd pick now, even over the Aventure 3. The mid-drive is so much more responsive than a hub motor, and in full auto, with Auto assist plus the auto-shifter, I never had to think about gears no matter the terrain. It shifted down on steep climbs and up on downhills right when I wanted. It doesn't have a throttle, and I do like a throttle, but the hill start assist covers most of that. If you're used to riding bikes and you've been on the fence, this is probably the one to buy.

My video review, published

Liked

  • Auto assist and auto-shifting work together really well, even on steep inclines
  • Mid-drive motor feels much more responsive than a hub motor
  • Hill start assist gives you a boost from a stop
  • Suspension seatpost made rocky trails way more comfortable; almost like a dual-suspension bike
  • SRAM DB4 hydraulic brakes had plenty of stopping power
  • Fenders, rear rack, turn signals, and integrated lights make it commuter-ready
  • App-connected color display with location tracking

Didn't

  • No throttle
  • Rear rack only holds about 59 lb
