- Testers relish the smooth, natural-feeling power delivery.
- At a tested 39.3lb (size L), the Soltera 3 is very light for an e-bike at this price point.
- The Gates Carbon belt drive is quiet, grease-free, and low-maintenance.
- Experts enjoy the bike’s nimble handling.

- The Kenda 700c x 38mm tires roll fast over pavement, according to reviewers.

4 reasons not to buy
- The single-speed gearing and low-power motor mean climbing steep hills can be challenging.
- The battery isn't removable, so it must be charged on the bike.
- The bike doesn’t come with a horn or bell or a brake light.
- Experts bemoan the lack of anti-theft features like GPS tracking, geo-fencing, and kickstand locking found on other Aventon models.
Bottom line
With the Soltera 3 ADV, Aventon reduces the weight of an already-light e-bike by around 7lb. The Class 1 e-commuter also swaps a 7-speed drivetrain with a quiet Gates Carbon belt drive, omits the throttle, and reduces nominal motor power from 350W to 250W. By design, this bike isn’t ideal for steep climbs or long-distance rides. Testers appreciate the low weight, quiet operation, reliable brakes, and smooth pedal assist. The agile handling, fast-rolling tires, and sleek aesthetics also receive praise. For those looking for a minimalist e-bike for city riding, reviewers deem the Soltera 3 ADV an excellent option.Expert Reviews
