Aventon has taken an already great and powerful folding e-bike and elevated it to new heights with the Sinch 2.5. Maintaining the same compact form, albeit in an upgraded design, and rugged performance that made the Sinch.2 a hit, the newest version introduces awesome upgrades that make it smoother, safer, and more enjoyable to ride.
Commutes, exploring city streets, or taking on rougher trails – the Sinch 2.5 is built to handle everything your ride requires.
What’s New on the Aventon Sinch 2.5?
The Aventon Sinch 2.5 keeps the trusted 500W rear-hub motor (750W peak) and 48V battery with LG cells to deliver a 32-KPH top speed and an impressive 88-kilometre range. However, this model now includes several key enhancements:
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Upgrading from mechanical to Tektro hydraulic disc brakes ensures more powerful stopping power and smoother modulation for increased safety.
Improved Drivetrain: A standard Shimano Altus drivetrain on the Sinch 2.5 makes for easier component replacement. It’s even compatible with aftermarket drivetrains should you want to upgrade in the future.
Upgraded Display: The new side-mounted BC147 color LCD display offers easy access to ride data and now features a USB-C charging port for added convenience.
Suspension Seatpost: A padded suspension seatpost paired with an Aventon-branded large saddle enhances comfort, especially on longer rides.
Refreshed Design: Available in Midnight Black and Sage Green, the new colours complement an upgraded folding frame.
How is the Aventon Sinch 2.5 Different From Others?
More Power Than Your Average Folding E-Bike
The Aventon Sinch 2.5 is far from being the only folding e-bike in the world; however, what it has that other folding e-bikes might not have is impressive power and awesome off-road performance.
With a highly responsive torque sensor, the motor output adapts naturally to your pedalling effort and offers an intuitive and controlled riding experience. Unlike other folding e-bikes, the Sinch 2.5 is equipped with fat 20x4” fat tyres, which ensure stability and traction across various terrains, from streets to off-road trails.
Enhanced Ride Experience With a Compact Design
Despite its robust off-road capabilities, the Sinch 2.5 remains portable, thanks to its signature folding design. Its step-through frame allows for easy mounting, which then folds down effortlessly for compact storage and easy transport.
Don’t worry; the sturdy folding mechanism ensures a rattle-free and stable ride, eliminating the common drawbacks of many folding e-bikes.
Testing the Aventon Sinch 2.5’s Real-World Performanc
Speed & Range
The Aventon Sinch 2.5 is a Class 2 e-bike and reaches speeds up to 32 KPH using throttle or pedal assist. However, it can also operate with the throttle unplugged and removed if you find yourself having to ride in an area where throttles are prohibited.
Its 48V battery allows the bike to reach an 88-kilometre range under ideal riding conditions. In real life, however, the actual range would be affected by various factors like speed, terrain, rider weight, even the weather.
That said, the Sinch 2.5 exceeds expectations and outperforms its competitors by delivering nearly the same range as advertised: 88 KMS in eco mode and 56 KMS in turbo mode.
Off-Road Capability
Equipped with a 500W motor with 60Nm of torque, the Aventon Sinch 2.5 is not your ordinary folding bike. This powerful fat-tyre e-bike can tackle steep inclines, and whether you’re pedalling or relying on the throttle, you can confidently take on challenging terrain beyond city roads.
On the other hand, its front suspension fork effectively absorbs bumps so you can stay comfortable and in control on rough trails. Combined with fat tyres, the Sinch 2.5 provides a smooth and stable ride across dirt paths, gravel roads, and even loose surfaces like sand and snow.
Braking & Safety
Aventon made a brilliant move in upgrading the Sinch 2.5’s brakes. The upgraded Tektro hydraulic brakes significantly improve braking efficiency, stopping power, and modulation. This improvement allows riders to stop faster and more effectively.
Meanwhile, the Sinch 2.5 retains integrated lighting and turn signals, so you can ride safely and visibly even in low-light conditions.
Portability
As with its predecessors, the standout feature of the Sinch 2.5 is its compact folding design, which makes it easy to store and transport. Folding down in just a few steps, the bike conveniently fits in tighter spaces in your car, office, or home. Plus, the sturdy latch system makes sure the bike stays securely folded.
Weighing 30 KG, it’s not the most lightweight e-bike out there, but if you consider its components, it is relatively lightweight for a fat-tyre e-bike of this calibre. The Sinch 2.5’s portability makes it one of the best choices if you need a ride that can handle both your commutes and weekend getaways.
Compatible Accessories
Make the most out of your Aventon Sinch 2.5 and complete your ride with the following compatible accessories for convenience, safety, and security.

Finally, keep your electric bike safe with a premium lock from ETook. Built for maximum theft resistance, it is made from high-strength steel alloy and withstands cutting, drilling, and pulling forces up to 1.5 tonnes.
