Bottom line
The Sinch Step-Through is a refined version of Aventon’s Sinch foldable Class 2 e-bike. This frame is easier to mount and dismount, for less agile riders. It’s also much spunkier, due to a design overhaul and tanwall tires. With a folding frame, handlebars and pedals, the Sinch ST suits RV and van-lifers as well as inner-city dwellers with limited storage capacity. At 68lb it may be too heavy to carry up multi-level walk-ups to home or work. The Sinch ST is not suited to serious off-roading as the 45mm suspension fork can easily bottom-out. For riding on smooth surfaces, broken pavement and gentle dirt roads, this easy-to-fold and easy-to-ride bike will suit many commuters and travellers.
