Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Aventon Abound SR. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
12 reasons to buy
- Experts appreciate the ride comfort thanks to the wide tires, suspension fork, and suspension seatpost.
- Testers enjoy the powerful yet natural pedal assistance, though some say it can be a bit jerky.
- Users can adjust motor strength and torque sensor sensitivity via the Aventon app.
- The powerful motor, compact design, and 20” wheels result in a bike that feels agile and peppy despite its weight, say testers.
- The 4A charger is faster than the 2A or 3A chargers supplied with most e-bikes.
- The 4G and Bluetooth connectivity and GPS provide features such as geofencing, over-the-air updates, and remote bike tracking, shutdown, and locking.
- A customizable security passcode and keyless battery lock mean there are no keys to carry.
- The motion sensor and alarm can be remotely monitored via the smartphone app.
- The kickstand can be locked down through the display or app, making the bike harder to steal.
- This bike has fenders, rear-wheel mesh guards, a chain guard, a cargo rack rated to carry 143lb, and lights with turn signals and brake activation.
- The stem offers an unusual 5” of height adjustment for finding a comfortable fit.
- The throttle can be removed for full compliance with Class 1 regulations.
9 reasons not to buy
- According to customer feedback, very poor after-sales support remains one of the most consistent features of Aventon ownership.
- Though many testers praise the frame as stiff, one says that with as little as 60lb on the rear rack, the bike feels disconnected and sways while riding.
- The stated height range of 4’11” to 6’3" is likely exaggerated, and Aventon doesn't provide useful geometry figures.
- The IPX4 water ingress protection is below average.
- The Abound SR only has three pedal assist levels.
- The threaded steerer and quill stem are outdated parts typically seen only on very cheap bicycles today.
- At 86lb, the Abound SR is hard to lift or transport.
- A tester complains the “sluggish” tires make it hard to exceed 18mph, even with pedal assist.
- One reviewer says Aventon dealers admit that the brakes and drivetrains wear out quickly.
Bottom line
Aventon’s Abound SR is a 750W short-tail cargo e-bike with a torque sensor and a suspension fork and seatpost. Its connected-technology features include remote locking and security tracking. Experts praise this bike’s peppy nature, comfortable ride, and nimble handling. However, brake fade is disconcerting, and frame flex under load reduces the cargo utility. The bike is very heavy, the tires are slow, and the threaded steerer and quill stem are outdated. Reviewers who praise the tech deem the Aventon Abound SR great value, but buyers should consider the concerns about stability and durability, and continued reports of poor customer support.Expert Reviews
