For starters: a low-step midtail cargo frame with a 50mm SR Suntour suspension fork, a fold-down handlebar mast, a 750W rear-hub motor with torque-sensing pedal assist plus a thumb throttle, and a 720Wh frame-integrated battery.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"aventon abound front wheel\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-318665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1-297x198.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1-720x480.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aventon-abound-fork-1536x1024-1.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aventon outfits the Abound with a 50mm travel SR Suntour suspension fork.

And the throttle \u2026 yowza! It got this 81-pound beast off the start line in a hurry. And it didn\u2019t quickly fade when tackling steep inclines. <\/p>\n<p>That said, I\u2019ve only ridden the bike unloaded thus far; we\u2019ll see how it fares when it has more than 175 pounds on board.
