Aventon Aventure.2: real range, hills and charging
A 180 lb rider on the Aventon Aventure.2 at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 42 miles per charge (34–50 mi), using 15.4 Wh per mile. The brand claims up to 60 miles. That is about 70% of the claim. On throttle only over hills it drops to about 28 miles. It is discontinued; of the current fat-tire e-bikes we track, the lowest-priced that goes as far is the Gotrax Tundra ($1,299, about 56 miles).

Can the Aventon Aventure.2 climb hills?
Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at its 1,130 W peak, limited by its 80 Nm of torque. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.
| Rider | 5% grade | 10% grade | 15% grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 lb, throttle | 20 mph | 12 mph | 9 mph |
| 180 lb, pedaling | 21 mph | 13 mph | 10 mph |
| 250 lb, throttle | 18 mph | 10 mph | 7 mph |
| 250 lb, pedaling | 19 mph | 11 mph | 8 mph |
Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 17% on throttle, 19% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 750 W nominal rating.
