My Aventon Aventure

Image
This is my 1st Aventon eBike, the Aventon Aventure.   This post will be updated periodically as my gear changes.  I've put over 100 miles on it so far.  I'm happy with what I got for $2000.  Namely a well built, Class 3 eBike with decent range (40 miles+). I have added some accessories on it which you can see in some of the pictures. Gear Hauling: Aventure Rear Rack Aventure Front Rack 50L Panniers by Basil Handlebar Bottle Cage Frame Bottle Cage, Stainless Steel Airtag Bottle Cage Mount Top Tube Bag by Rockbros Lights and Safety: Handlebar Light by Redcomets Pedal Lights by Arcshift Bike Alarm and Tail Light Fenderbot Tail Light (mounts to fender) Comfort: Brooks Saddle Security and Locks: Bike Alarm and Tail Light Bike Lock, Highest Security Bike Lock, Titanium To transport the bike, I use the Thule Easyfold XT .

Got my Burley Nomad Cargo Trailer from REI Labor Day Sale

 OK, the REI annual Labor Day Sale is in full effect.   Good once a year prices on lots of items. As I stated in the above video, I went and got the Burley Nomad Cargo Trailer , and the Burley Nomad Rack add-on from REI and just put it together and took it out for a test drag. The rack itself was a bit of a pain to install because not all the required hardware was included.  Namely the bolt securing the main portion was too short for a current generation Nomad. My plans are to put a solar panel on the rack.  Only a 50 watt fits so its not going to do much more than trickle charge the battery.   I'm going to need to add some lights to the trailer.  But for now the pedals , and built-in lights will have to do.

How I Transport the Aventon Aventure

Image
I use the Thule Easyfold XT which I purchased at REI (currently on sale for $799) .  Pictures here show the method I connected without the optional Fat Tire straps .  Yes, you should get the Fat Tire strap kit for use with your Aventon Aventure.  It comes with 2 keys to access the 3 lock cylinders that are built-in (two to lock the bikes to the rack, and 1 to lock the rack to your hitch (supports both 1.25 and 2 inch hitches). Stats wise it claims it can handle 65 lbs a bike.  I remove the battery while mounted so that I easily fit inside this weight limit requirement.  Note that this extends out further because I have a hitch extender/riser/dual setup. It completely folds down so that you can access all tailgates. It includes a ramp which stows inside the unit.  But you can also get an extended ramp too if you have a taller vehicle.  The included one works fine with my Subaru Crosstrek as well as Hyundai Palisade.  Note it will take a little practice till you get it tuned just right,
