Bottom line

The Sinch.2 builds on the Sinch Step-Through folding, fat-tire, Class 2 e-bike, adding a torque sensor. The result is smoother assistance and greater range, due to increased efficiency. The predecessor's Shimano drivetrain has been replaced by house-brand drivetrain components. Reviewers appreciate the inclusion of a rear rack, integrated lighting, fenders, and folding pedals. Mechanical brakes seem outdated to reviewers but may be a conscious choice to prevent hydraulic cables from being squished between the bike’s folding mechanisms. Experts and owners praise the Sinch.2's combination of convenience, performance, and value.

Aventon Sinch.2 Review:
Subtle Changes Make for a Superior Step-Through

Level 2 expert

A well-designed and functional folding e-bike… newly included accessories are about right for an e-bike at this price …a torque sensor offers more natural control… The right side of the handlebars now feels a little crowded… It would have been great to see mechanical disc brakes replaced by a hydraulic set and to retain the Shimano shifter and derailleur.

This bike did excellent. I really enjoyed riding it. I did like the fact that these handlebars are wider. The mechanical brakes, they work just fine. Let’s trade out this seat.
