Familiar, but New
Aventures have long been hailed as phenomenal electric bikes given their low price point when compared with other fat tyre electric bikes. They were praised for the excellent build quality, firm ride, great features, and top-tier performance. The Aventure.2 Step Through is no different, so everything that makes Aventure’s best-sellers can be found on the latest model.
On the Aventure.2 you’ll find the same 750W motor, the same Tektro hydraulic 180mm disc brakes, the same removable battery, the same thumb throttle and five pedal assist modes, a similar shaped 6061 double-butted aluminium frame, and the same stable, shake-free ride quality.
However, the Aventure.2 Step Through comes with some new features as well.
Features
Torque Sensor
The biggest change on the Aventure.2 is the new torque sensor. Unlike its predecessor's cadence sensor, the Aventure.2’s drive train compliments your natural riding style by powering the motor based on how hard you pedal. This means you can go faster when you need it, but slow down when you want. The torque sensor provides a natural & responsive ride that offers greater control and smoother acceleration.
Longer 92km Range
As torque sensors dynamically apply power when it’s needed, the motor isn’t as draining on the battery. This means you’ll be able to go further despite the new and old Adventures sharing the same battery.
Included Rear Rack
Unlike most electric bikes on the market, the Aventure.2 Step Through comes with a rear rack included in the box. This rack is capable of supporting 25kg of weight, which is about the same as five 5-litre water bottles, or the average suitcase on a plane.
Indicators & Upgraded Rear Lights
The rear light housing on the original Aventure was only featured on the left, which wasn’t ideal for Australian roads. However, the Aventure.2 Step Through features rear lights that double as brake lights on both sides of the frame. On top of that, the same housing features two indicator lights that auto-cancel after 15 seconds, greatly improving the overall safety of the unit when riding on shared roads.
Motor
The Aventure.2 Step Through shares the same 750W motor of its predecessor. With a peak power output of 1100W, it’s powerful enough to carry riders to 45 kph on its highest pedal assist mode, or 30kph on the throttle alone.
Who is the Aventure.2 for?
The Aventure.2 Step Through is an incredibly versatile ride. Its fat 26’ x 4’ puncture resistant tyres provide a grippy & stable ride on all terrain types including loose ground such as sand and snow. While its 35kg weight makes it a little harder to use as a commuter for smaller riders & tight streets, you can do just about anything else with it. Cycle across the beach. Navigate forest & woodland trails. Go where roads don’t take you.
The Step Through frame is ideal for riders who don’t like kicking their leg over the higher frame found on the Step Over version of the Aventure. Whether this is because of mobility issues, restrictive clothing, because you’ll be getting on and off the bike a lot, or just because you prefer the look, the Step Through frame retains is rigidity & ride quality just as well as the Step Over version.
If you want a flexible all-rounder electric fat tyre bike with a natural & fluid ride that compliments your own riding style, the Aventure.2 awaits.
