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 .

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 pra...

New Aventon Aventure Battery Arrived

Image
 I ordered an extra battery for the Aventon Aventure.   Here's what it looks like: The cover kit plate has to be purchased separately and was $12.50 at the time of this post. The cover plate slides over the battery.  The charger rubber cover and the power button are simply held in place while sliding cover over the battery.  The small screw keeps the cover in place. Now I have to do the battery calibration to ensure proper conditioning before going off on my anticipated several hundred mile journey. Now only if I can get a replacement battery charger...
