We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Aventon Abound Review 2023

Level 3 expert

The Abound handles well and demonstrates great maneuverability even when loaded with weight. The Abound’s extended and telescoping stem is collapsible. This long, plastic stem can feel a bit wobbly when the Abound is loaded up with a large amount of weight.

Aventon Abound Review:
The “Full Package” Cargo E-Bike With a Torque Sensor!

Level 2 expert

The Aventon Abound is a well-styled and well-thought-out cargo e-bike that stands out in the myriad of cargo e-bikes now on the market. The best way to describe the Abound is as a premium cargo e-bike that doesn’t come with an equally premium price.

Aventon Abound E-Cargo Bike Review

Level 5 expert

A surprisingly fun cargo hauler at a very reasonable price. It has multiple options for carrying both children and gear that make it a valid alternative to a car for everyday errands. It’s a great entry-level cargo e-bike. It doesn’t compete with higher-end options like Tern, but against the RadWagon and similar e-bikes, the Aventon offers a great deal of refinement…

Aventon Abound Cargo E-Bike Review

Level 3 expert

You can carry a lot of stuff on this bike. It’s a really good competitor to Rad Power bikes. If you live in a hilly area you may want to get a second battery for yourself because 14Ah, in my opinion, is not that much. Overall, yeah, I will take this bike for myself. I love it.

Aventon Abound Electric Cargo Bike Review

Level 1 expert

Aventon hit the mark with getting a budget-friendly cargo bike that can haul your groceries and even your kids. The Abound is a great budget-friendly bike… We did encounter some speed wobble on the front end… This occurred when the bike was under acceleration and had a bit of weight on the front end.

The build quality here is simply superb. I love how the Aventon Abound actually comes with many accessories as standard equipment. The parts and the build quality belong on a bike with a several hundred dollar higher price.

Here’s what I can tell you, quickly about the Abound. It’s more powerful, easier to ride and has more overall features than the RadWagon 4 and Radio Flyer L885, but it’s also more expensive.

Bike Review: The Aventon Abound Cargo Bike

Level 3 expert

Of all the bikes that I’ve assembled in my garage the Abound was, by far, the most pleasurable. This bike is awesome, the design is elegant, the construction is precise and every inch of the Abound projects quality. You’ll need a good size storage space to stow it comfortably. The Abound also isn’t very fast.

Pretty much, Eco isn’t enough to get it up a hill but man, you bump it into Sport or Turbo and damn Sam, that motor jumps in and gives you a big hand! This thing is a blast.

Aventon Abound Review: This Electric Cargo Bike Will Blow Your Mind!

Level 1 expert

It looks great, it rode super smooth… When I had this thing loaded down you felt the the front end was obviously a little bit lighter and just a wee bit wobbly. Brakes are excellent, throttle and torque sensor are super-responsive… the amount of storage that this bike can hold is insane. Because of that, I love this bike…

Aventon Abound E-Bike Review

Level 1 expert

I would feel comfortable getting 3x 12-mile work commutes out of my Aventon Abound. Per week, I’d have to charge it roughly 2-3x …I am estimating a $40-$50 per week savings. We as a family, are using it every single day… The ride quality is good. Stable maneuvering, quick braking, strong acceleration are all positives during my one month trial.

Aventon’s Abound Brings E-Cargo Bikes to a Bigger Audience

Level 5 expert

The Aventon Abound is a capable e-cargo bike that will fit the needs of many riders. While not perfect, it is an overall great bike. It is competitively priced, well-equipped, and has lots of power and hauling ability. When riding one-handed, the steering might feel twitchy. This feeling is due to the zero-offset stem and a tall, somewhat flexy design.

Aventon Abound Cargo E-Bike Review: Two-Wheeled Family Hauler

Level 1 expert

What really puts the Abound out in front are the extras Aventon packed on, such as its nice LCD display with Bluetooth, the footboards, built-in turn signals, front suspension, dropper seat post, storage bag – the list goes on and on. The value-packed Abound raises the bar for cargo e-bikes.
