Aventon Sinch.2: real range, hills and charging
A 180 lb rider on the Aventon Sinch.2 at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 40 miles per charge (32–48 mi), using 15.2 Wh per mile. The brand claims up to 55 miles. That is about 73% of the claim. On throttle only over hills it drops to about 27 miles. It is discontinued; of the current folding e-bikes we track, the lowest-priced that goes as far is the Heybike Ranger S 2.0 ($999, about 41 miles).
