With a remarkably analog-like feel, integrated GPS features, a locking kickstand, and plenty more, the Abound SR is high-tech, practical, and simply cool. Full-size cargo e-bikes are known for their ability to carry tons of weight—often with 400+ lb payload capacities and room for up to two child passengers—but they’re also famously long and heavy.
The Abound SR feels incredibly natural and responsive when pedaling, thanks to its torque sensors and 36V electrical system.
It’s packed with cool tech centered around the ACU smart module. It features an electronically locking kickstand and battery, plus 4G connectivity for GPS/location tracking, geofencing, and more!
We blasted beyond Aventon’s advertised range of 60 miles in our Range Test (See below for details)!
The Aventon app allows users to access security features, tune the motor output, track ride data, and interact with other Aventon owners.
The bike’s ride feels sturdy even under load thanks to its reinforced, gravity-cast aluminum frame and threaded stem.
Continuing Pro #5, the Abound SR has an extremely high weight capacity of up to 440 lbs, including the rider. Its rack can carry up to 143 lbs.
We appreciated a smooth ride, thanks to the bike’s 50mm suspension fork and suspension seatpost.
Integrated turn signals add an extra layer of safety when riding with cargo or a child passenger.
It’s hard to deny the great looks of the SR’s smooth, nearly weld-free frame and three fitting color options.
While the bike has an advertised height range of 4’11” to 6’3”, taller riders will likely not reach full leg extension. We encourage Aventon to include a longer seatpost in the future.
More something to be aware of than a true con, but current owners of the full-size Abound should be aware that most accessories are not cross-compatible.

Earlier this month we were invited to Huntington Beach, California to be introduced to Aventon's new eCargo Bike, the Abound SR.

Aventon takes their bike to the next level with the development of the Aventon Control Unit, now available on their short-tail cargo bike, the Abound SR. Read our review to see if this utility e-bike checks the boxes on what you need as a car replacement.
While Aventon has a long-tail cargo bike in their lineup, they were missing the short-tail, utility bike that has been so popular with people of all ages. The Abound SR fills that gap.
Aventon takes a very big step up in technology with the introduction of their ‘ACU’, or Aventon Control Unit. The ACU provides some really standout security features that we don’t generally see on a bike at this price range, including: a lockable kickstand, a lockable battery, password protection for the bike, theft/bike movement notifications, and geofencing. Aventon is pretty proud of this technology, and I think that pride is warranted.
The Abound SR pairs with the well-designed Aventon App, which allows for OTA (over-the-air) updates. We’ve even worked with Aventon the last 2 weeks to improve the motor performance, and appreciate how Aventon could continually improve the ride experience and keep the bike updated in the future.
At first glance, we were wary of the 36V system. Most cargo bikes tend to come with 48V systems. We’ll discuss it more below, but Aventon chose the 36V system to use less raw materials while still trying to match the performance of a 48V system. After riding the bike for 2 weeks and working through the motor settings with Aventon, we would agree and think they did a good job on the motor output and power levels. See Latest Price
