Summary
The Aventon Soltera is a lightweight, affordable commuter e-bike praised for its sleek design, responsive handling, and integrated lighting. It offers a sporty ride with quick, precise handling but may feel jarring due to the lack of suspension and lower volume tires. While it's equipped with a torque sensor for immediate motor response, it struggles with higher speeds and has mechanical disc brakes that require more hand effort.

The Aventon Soltera Single Speed is a simple and affordable e-bike that's great for someone that still likes to pedal, but could use a little extra oomf.

The Aventon Soltera.2 ST details our tests on the battery life, hill climbing ability, brakes, and more to show you what this e-bike is capable of doing.
Motor responds immediately, thanks to the torque sensor upgrade, giving meaningful pedal assistance that makes this ride more like a real bike than before.
Great ride quality and handling. Easy pedaling and veering around traffic using 700x38c tires on this 46 lbs lightweight.
Feels like a traditional bike. Making pedaling enjoyable, the motor’s subtle engagement gives balanced output that enhances the overall experience.
Greater safety moving the tail lights to the bottom of the seatstay for better visibility, along with the new blinking turn signal lights.
Comfortable to ride with the less-aggressive lean than many city e-bikes, as well as ergonomic grips, and a slim but accommodating saddle.
Simple operation. The RevoShift twist shifter, four PAS settings, and large buttons make control adjustments easy.
Pairs with the Aventon app! The Soltera.2 can be unlocked to 25 mph, and the app can also track ride data.
No complaints with class 2 speeds, but the bike seems to struggle to hit it’s 25 mph class 3 speed (getting closer to 22-23 instead).

The Aventon Soltera is a budget friendly, simple city-bike style that performs well and looks good. With a 350W motor, this Class 2 bike isn't the most...

Sporty handling
Offered in step-thru and step-over frame styles
Available with 7-speed or single-speed drivetrain
Slightly harsher ride
Requires a more athletic body position
Not the most powerful

A light, efficient, affordable city electric bike. This option includes a basic Shimano Tourney 7-speed drivetrain and Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors. Efficient 350 watt hub motor and 350 watt hour removable battery pack.
Available in two frame styles: High-Step and Mid-Step, two frame sizes each, and three colors each. Lots of options to get the correct fit and a unique style. Outstanding integrated lights including their position, brightness, and brake activation.
One of the best display panels and smart phone apps I've seen for any electric bike. The button pad is easy to reach and includes a dedicated lights button, the large color LCD is intuitive to navigate and includes a settings menu, the app allows you to adjust the top speed and engage in a social feed to share rides and pictures.
Rigid aluminum frame with no suspension and narrow tires means it's efficient but also jarring to ride on bumpy terrain. Opportunities to improve include additional bottle cage mounts, a derailleur guard, tougher display screen, wider gear range, and faster motor activation... or the option to change power delivery since it ramps up very gradually.
