The Aventon Adventure 2 vs The Rad Rover 6 eBike

Comparing The All New Aventure.2 Against The RadRover 6 Plus

Aventon prides itself on the quality of their products and continuous pursuit of innovation to provide riders with the latest in technologies. These comparisons with "rivals" are by no means a reason to speak ill of the competition. In fact, they are to ensure that we continuously look to better ourselves for your best interest. That's right. Aventon and it's dealers are always challenging ourselves to rise above those in the same category so that you get a clear view of the playing field and to see where we stand.

The Aventure.2 is as dynamic as they come with a robust physique and the latest technologically integrated features. It is a true trailblazer. We believe it can stand its own against all other 4" fat tire ebikes in its category. That's why we've chosen to compare it against the RadRover 6 Plus to prove that our forward thinking is always rolling toward the future with you in mind.

You want more for your money

The price tag is where most people look first. It's logical to want to know where your money is going. Especially when it comes to a high-priced investment such as an ebike. Although this isn't the deciding factor, it is part of the reason to make a purchase. And since these two bike are the same price, let's take a look at what sets them apart.

First of all, the Aventure.2 comes with a torque sensor. The torque sensor works similarly to a standard bicycle with an augmentation. It offers riders the possibility to go longer distances through the conservation of energy. How much energy you put into your pedaling, it registers and amplifies. Not to mention the larger, more powerful 750Wh rear hub motor with a peak output of 1130Wh, while the RadRover 6 peaks at 750wh (though this is not clear this is even the actual wattage per their disclaimer on site). The Aventure.2 goes 20 mph with PAS and throttle but can be modified through the Aventon app to reach speeds up to 28 mph.

The Aventure.2 was made for adventure and its thoughtful design only proves it. Its higher carry capacity means you can take more with you wherever you go. An extra 20mm of travel in its front suspension fork gives you more control over how you want to ride. The Full Color Display provides all the vital metrics you need on and off the road, including speed, battery life, distance traveled, PAS level, and other info such CO2 reduction and trees save. Plus it also syncs to the Aventon app to share and connect with a larger riding community, making the Aventure.2 the total package.

But that's not all. In addition, we've equipped this trailblazer with the all new turn signal functionality, capable of providing more protection as you hit the road or trails, allowing you to signal to motorists and other cyclists behind you. And if all this doesn't turn your head, let's have a closer look to see if these ebikes can stand up to a deeper level of scrutiny.

Electrical System (it is an ebike after all!)

An ebike is all about the electric aspects. This is, after all, what moves them besides your own physical efforts.
