Aventon, originally a fixie brand, has successfully transitioned into the e-MTB market with the Current ADV. This bike features a 6061 aluminum frame, SRAM Eagle groupset, and 29-inch wheels. It includes a proprietary motor and an 800-watt-hour battery, providing a range of up to 105 miles. The bike's design closely resembles traditional mountain bikes, and it offers five power modes, including a Boost Mode for added torque. The Current ADV is designed for comfort and performance, making it suitable for experienced cyclists.
"The Current ADV looks 100 percent the part of contemporary mountain bike. With its 6061 aluminum frame, SRAM Eagle groupset, tubeless-ready Maxxis Minion tires wrapping a pair of double-walled 29-inch wheels, a 170-mm X Fusion Manic dropper post, a Rockshox Psylo Gold front suspension that boasts 150 mm of travel, and a Rockshox Deluxe Select+, it'd be easy to confuse the Current ADV for a traditional analog mountain bike."
"Despite its design and ride feel, all of which can make you easily forget you're riding electric, the Current ADV is a class 1 e-MTB (which can be toggled to a class 3 via the brand's app), and one that gives hours and hours of riding on a single charge."
"The 800-watt-hour battery is tucked neatly into the bike's relatively small downtube, giving a claimed range of up to 105 miles. Of course, I didn't get nearly that, as I was constantly switching through any of the Current ADV's five power modes (Auto, Eco, Trail, Turbo, and a new, 30-second Boost Mode for extra torque on big hills)."
