Aventon Aventure M: real range, hills and charging

A 180 lb rider on the Aventon Aventure M at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 42 miles per charge (33–50 mi), using 15.9 Wh per mile. That is 49% of the brand's 85 mi claim. That is about 49% of the claim. At full assist with almost no pedaling over hills it drops to about 28 miles. For less money, the Velotric Discover M ($2,499) goes about 51 miles in the same riding.

Can the Aventon Aventure M climb hills?

Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at its 750 W peak. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.

Rider	5% grade	10% grade	15% grade
180 lb, full assist	15 mph	10 mph	7 mph
180 lb, pedaling	17 mph	11 mph	8 mph
250 lb, full assist	13 mph	8 mph	5 mph
250 lb, pedaling	14 mph	9 mph	6 mph

Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 13% on throttle, 15% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 250 W nominal rating.
