Aventon is an American electric bike brand, based in California. The constituent parts of their bikes are manufactured in China, before being shipped to the USA where they are inspected and assembled. They're then shipped out to bike shops around North America or can be purchased directly from Aventon on the brand's website.

If you’ve made it here, you’ve probably heard of Aventon before, and even if you haven’t, you’ve probably seen them on your local bike path. The e-Bike manufacturer has taken the North American market by storm and has settled in as one of the most popular and reliable brands. I’ll share the inside scoop on Aventon and a handful of reasons that its e-Bikes may be exactly what you’re looking for.

History of the Aventon Brand
Aventon wasn’t always an e-Bike-only brand. I remember when Aventon got its start making fixed-gear bikes. Aventon fixies were everywhere amid the 2010s fixed-gear craze, which, if you thought it was popular where you were, was doubly en vogue in California, where I lived (also the brand’s headquarters).
Later on, Aventon released its first electric bike model— the Pace 500— in 2018 and soon transitioned to a fully electric fleet. The flagship Pace 500 is now in its third iteration, and there are now 7 models in total. Most of the Aventon bikes have a rear hub motor with powerful torque and a throttle mode. I’ve always appreciated Aventon’s keen eye for aesthetics, perhaps inspired by their days with the fashion-forward fixie crowd.

Top 5 Reasons to Choose an Aventon E-Bike
1. The price is right
Many people are drawn to Aventon because of the price, and they stay for the quality. It’s hard to beat the brand when it comes to the quality-price ratio. Most models (except for the Ramblas e-MTB) are priced well below $2,000. It’ll depend on the exact model, but many come with fancier details like a torque sensor, integrated turn signals, a full-color display, and hydraulic brakes. The motor and batteries are good quality, so you don’t have to worry about investing in subpar electric components.
Riders new to the e-Bike world may be thinking about a do-it-yourself electric bike or conversion kit, but the right model can encourage urban commuters to hop on a dedicated e-Bike. The approachable price point is a convincing factor when thinking about dipping your toes into the e-Bike waters. Careful, you may trip and end up buying another one!
If you’re searching for a 2nd hand e-Bike for sale, Upway has tons of Aventon models for sale. Every Upway new or pre-owned e-Bike is professionally inspected and reconditioned, including a one-year warranty!
2. Widespread serviceability
Another widely shared advantage of Aventon is the ease of serviceability in case anything happens down the road. The popular brand now enjoys a bit of the network effect that boosts its e-Bike’s attractiveness. What do I mean? There are so many Aventons out there now that local bike shops have decided to get in on the action and sell Aventons or equip their bike store to repair them
E-Bike servicing is a whole other ball game and requires shops to have special parts and additional expertise. The peace of mind and convenience of being able to bring your e-Bike into an actual shop (rather than dealing with distant customer service) can’t be understated.
3. Design and aesthetics
Fashion is subjective, but I’m pretty convinced that Aventon electric bikes are objectively stylish. I’ve seen a lot of e-Bikes in my day, and so many of them look like disjointed blobs of gray and black tubing, especially in the entry-level tier. But Aventon pays close attention to design, which helps its bikes appear even more elegant and premium than their price point may suggest.
There are even advanced features like integrated turn signals in the seat stays, the Aventon app (they were one of the first), stylish colors, and the fan-favorite tanwall Kenda tires on the Aventon Sinch folding e-Bike. Aventon’s success isn’t all marketing prowess, its e-Bikes are well-designed and people recognize that.

4. Rev that throttle
Every Aventon electric bike has a throttle, except the Ramblas electric mountain bike. This is a significant advantage for many riders who want the option of pedal-free cruising or simply enjoy the fun, moped-style way of zipping around.
Younger riders and people who ride in traffic especially appreciate the throttle function for fast, on-demand speed. Every Class 2 eBike is also equipped with the standard pedal assist levels, though they’ll vary in their top speeds. Most models can also be configured as Class 1 or Class 3 e-Bikes.

5. Well-rounded fleet
In my experience, bikes are like Lay’s potato chips: you can’t have just one. Odds are that you may catch the e-Bike bug or want to get another bike for the family. And sticking with the same brand can make maintenance and getting used to the controls easier. Aventon has an excellent fleet with models across all styles.
That said, the brand keeps the options limited so you aren’t overwhelmed, and so they can get to work innovating new and improved models. Many of their e-Bikes are now in their second or third generations, incorporating rider feedback and new technology. If you’re considering getting a few electric bikes, Aventon can be a great brand to defer to for that next set of wheels.

Aventon is only one of the seemingly infinite e-Bike brands on the market. It has gained Upway’s trust and respect because of the quality of its e-Bikes, and we often partner with them for overstock, meaning you can snag some seriously sweet deals on an Aventon affordable electric bike.
But Aventon won’t be for everyone. There are tons of other brands that may better fit your needs. Aventon has recently ventured into the e-MTB world with the impressive Ramblas model, which is a step above their flagship models, equipped with a mid-drive electric motor and premium suspension.

But most of the brand’s models have hub drives and more budget-appropriate components for recreational riding. Brands like Specialized and Trek have more high-end options, especially if you’re searching for lightweight e-Bikes for sportier road cycling or mountain biking.
