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!

23 reasons to buy
- Testers have verified a 20-mile range on the Soltera, using only the throttle.
- Under normal use, an average range of 41 miles can be expected.

- The Soltera comes in Regular and Large sizes to fit riders from 5'1" to 6'4".
- Aventon’s sophisticated app pairs with the Soltera and its display.
- The Soltera features an independent throttle that's operable from a dead stop.
- On 700c wheels, 35mm tires are a good compromise between comfort and speed.
- The Soltera’s battery only takes 5 hours to fully charge.
- Assembly is easy, taking under 30 minutes with packed-in tools.
- The Soltera accelerates smoothly, without lurches between assist levels.
- As either a single-speed (41lb) or 7-speed (43lb) e-bike, the Soltera is light.
- The Soltera’s color display is clear, easy to navigate and comprehensive.
- Aggressive geometry places riders in a prime position for traffic weaving.
- The Soltera’s lockable battery can be removed for off-bike charging or security.
- A sturdy kickstand is placed out of the way of the Soltera’s pedals.
- The Soltera has a maximum payload capacity of 300lb.
- Caliper rim brakes are lightweight and easy to adjust.
- Good looks are thanks to slick paint, smooth welds, an internal battery and cabling.
- The Soltera’s Selle Royal saddle is well-padded without being squishy.
- Platform pedals provide a large, flat surface for use with casual shoes.
- Aventon supplies a comprehensive manual and online assembly video.

6 reasons not to buy
- The single-speed Soltera is equipped with caliper rim brakes, not discs.
- There ain't no rack or fenders on this minimalist e-bike.
- It’s very light for an e-bike, making it easy to carry upstairs or to lift onto a rack.
- Without a torque sensor, testers note a small delay before pedal assist kicks in.
- Experts describe the Soltera’s 36V 10Ah battery capacity as “below average”.
- Testers note that pedal-assist levels 1 and 2 do not offer noticeable input.
Bottom line
The Soltera is a minimalist Class 2 urban e-bike that tops out at a speed of 20mph. It is available in two versions; as a single-speed with caliper rim brakes or as a seven-speed with disc brakes. Rim brakes are unusual on an e-bike and may be underwhelming in wet weather. The Soltera uses a smaller-than-average 36V 10Ah battery, enabling it to be integrated into the bike’s svelte frame. At 41 to 43lb, the Soltera is light enough that this battery can still deliver an average of 41 miles range. Integrated rear lights operate as brake lights when the Soltera’s headlight is off, or remain on permanently for night-time use. It comes in two sizes.Expert Reviews
