BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

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!

6 reasons not to buy

  • The Aventure 3 doesn't have a bell or horn.
  • Aventon’s security features require a small subscription fee after the first year.
  • Two reviewers say the built-in alarm isn’t loud enough.
  • The battery’s charging port is awkward to access, according to a tester.

Bottom line

Aventon's Aventure 3 is a fat-tire e-bike with a 750W motor and 715.7Wh battery. The bike comes as a step-through or step-over. Upgrades over the previous version include a suspension seatpost, improved cable routing, PAS customization, and security features. The responsive power delivery, climbing ability, solid range, and comfortable ride impress. Smart security features, ride customization, and accessories also win points. Complaints are minor, but the lack of a horn disappoints. Overall, reviewers feel the Aventure 3 offers excellent value as a fat-tire e-bike.
