Aventon Bikes: A pleasure to ride, easy to own, fantastic to gift

This content was produced in partnership with Aventon.

As Aventon so aptly claims, “the next level is here,” and we agree — the next level of bicycling or biking is truly here. That is, ebikes totally and completely transform the experience, above and beyond what you’d normally get with a traditional bicycle. Aventon’s bikes are also designed from the ground up to deliver a top-notch rider experience. But let’s back up a little here and briefly talk about why you might want an ebike over the traditional option.

As you might expect, ebikes are equipped with electric motors to give you a little extra power during your rides. You can use them to commute longer distances and conserve a ton of your energy. The powerful motor can help you get up steep inclines or over tough terrain easier than ever when you’re out biking. You could even use them for off-roading in general. There are a variety of bicycle types too, some of which are more fitting for certain terrain. Adversely, commuter bikes are meant for the open road, whether taking a city ride or a small-town ride — they’re beautifully nostalgic, as well. What else do they do differently? Well, let’s take a closer look, and while we’re at it, we can also discuss why they’d make excellent gifts this holiday season.

Besides the exquisite craftsmanship and designs, the first thing to note about Aventon Bikes is that they offer reasonable and affordable options. Whereas most ebikes utilize premium materials to good effect but at a high cost, Aventon’s options are attainably premium. The features, design, and specifications are equal to that of any bike in the $2,500 to $4,000 range, and yet they’re all priced under $2,000. The new Level.2 bikes, in particular, are as much eye candy as they are functional. Those bikes, by the way, have a torque sensor, which recognizes how light or hard you’re pedaling and adjusts power to meet that energy. This extends range, conserves battery life, and helps you conserve body fuel, and no other brand of bikes is offering the same features within its price point — Level.2 bikes start at $1,949.

Let us introduce you to a new, convenient commuting option

Aventon’s Level.2 bikes are meant for commuting, but they work well for casual riding, training, long-distance rides, and nearly any type of riding you’d do on the roads. They’re bikes with pedals, so you can ride them like any traditional bike, but where they truly excel is in the added support they provide riders. They have a range of up to 30 miles on a single charge, with no pedaling whatsoever. They also have a top speed of 20 miles per hour, and both specifications have been discerned using real-world range testing — they’re not just a made-up feature.

More importantly, the built-in torque sensor automatically detects how much power you’re investing into the pedals — a lot or a little — and adjusts the power of the bike itself to match. So, if you need a little more kick, the power increases, or it decreases if you’re giving it your all. That’s to say it makes for an incredibly smooth ride, and one that’s seamless with your efforts, so you never feel like you’re fighting against the bike or the motor.

A backlit LCD allows you to monitor speed, battery life, distance traveled, and much more. You can also sync your stats and updates with the Aventon mobile app to keep track of everything on your phone. Other common bike features for Level.2 models include a pedal assist throttle, front suspension, a rear rack and fenders, and beyond. If you get a chance to try one for yourself, we’re pretty sure you’ll love it.

What about deals and holiday gifting?

The best thing about bikes is that they’re solid gifts for everyone. But ebikes take that a step further because for those who don’t enjoy pedaling a traditional bike, you get the same experience with much less effort. Whether for nostalgia, thrills, business, or pleasure, few people would turn down an Aventon Bike when gifted one.

If you’re interested, starting November 1, Aventon is offering free shipping on all orders, with no promo code needed. Of course, there are a couple of additional deals you can take advantage of:

Now’s a great time to buy a Peloton exercise bike

If you want to stay fit without having to leave the comfort of your own home, one of the most popular ways to do so is through Peloton's exercise bikes. The equipment, combined with a Peloton All-Access Membership, makes working out more enjoyable and dynamic, but they don't come cheap. Fortunately, Amazon has slashed the price of the Peloton Bike to $1,145 from $1,445 for a $300 discount, and the Peloton Bike Plus to $2,095 from $2,495 for a $400 discount. They're still not what you'd call affordable, but they're worthy investments for your health, and you can use the savings towards your Peloton membership. You'll need to hurry with your purchase though, because we're not sure how much time is remaining on these offers.
Peloton Bike -- $1,145, was $1,445

The Peloton Bike is popular for many reasons, but it all begins with the Peloton All-Access Membership. It's a separate purchase at $44 per month, but with it, your entire household can view a massive library of content for various types of workouts on the Peloton Bike, which you can watch through its 21.5-inch HD touchscreen and two-channel audio with a pair of 10-watt speakers. The Peloton Bike comes with a resistance knob for manual control, a 3.5mm headphone jack if you want to listen to your instructors without disturbing anyone nearby, and a durable but space-saving design that only takes up 4 feet by 2 feet of space so it won't use up your whole exercise area.

It's even worse if the intended recipient seems to have everything already.
