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.

For a budget-priced bike, it doesn’t feel cheap in the slightest. Aventon’s city bike has a terrific feel on the road, and its lightweight design is easy to manage when out of the saddle. In my early e-bike days, I was drawn to the powerhouses of the e-bike world. But with each passing year, I’ve
Responsive handling. The bike’s narrow, efficient tires, compact handlebars, and rigid front fork make maneuvering feel precise and sharp.
Great motor engagement. The motor delivers noticeable power, helping you ride faster, but its delivery feels smooth and natural—like a faster, enhanced version of yourself.
Lightweight. Weighing only 46 lbs. this bike is a featherweight compared to most e-bikes. It’s easy to move around when you’re off the saddle and feels closer to a traditional bike on the road.
Comfortable geometry. With a shorter top tube, a relaxed reach, and handlebars with rise and sweep, the bike provides a more upright and relaxed riding position than many others in this category.
Three frame sizes are available. For an entry-level price, offering three frame sizes is a standout feature compared to the usual one or two size options, making it easier to find a good fit.
Clean aesthetic. The frame features sleek lines, well-managed cables, and a sharp-looking color display. It’s a bike that balances functionality with visual appeal.
Practical accessories. Aventon keeps the base price low by not including too many accessories, but everything you need to transform this into a full-fledged city commuter (like fenders and racks) is available at checkout.
A great app. Aventon’s app offers practical features like ride customization, gamified medals to encourage more cycling, community engagement, and trip-planning tools.
Solid safety features. The integrated rear lights, turn signals, and hydraulic brakes enhance safety for urban riding.
The new hydraulic brakes are a welcome upgrade over the previous 2.0 model. However, the new setup no longer supports brake light functionality.
The high-step frame feels great, but it looks like there is no longer a mid-step option as we’ve seen in previous generations. The ride will be better suited for riders with at least a 30” inseam.

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.
