For that money you get a 6061 aluminium fat-tyre frame, four-inch tyres, a suspension fork, a new suspension seatpost, and a genuinely modern security package. In the Australian fat-tyre bracket, where plenty of rivals still ship with cadence sensors and dumb displays, that is a lot of bike per dollar. Aventon is now distributed exclusively in Australia by BikesOnline.

The previous version of this bike has been the gold standard for fat tire ebikes, and we awarded it not only the best fat tire ebike for multiple years in a row, but also the best overall ebike for the same period of time.

The Aventon Aventure 3 is a versatile, tech-savvy fat tire ebike designed for riders who want comfort, performance, and safety without the hefty price tag. With features like GPS tracking, torque/cadence sensor options, custom ride settings, and a robust build, it’s ideal for all-season use, bigger riders, and those valuing peace of mind and style.

First off, the feel of this bike is just fantastic. The Adventure was already one of the best riding fat tire ebikes out there, and I'm glad to see Aventon enhanced it instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. The motor experience is a standout. It's got all the power you need with a 750 W nominal, an 1188 W peak, and 80 new m of torque.

And honestly, this thing makes it way too easy. The Aventon Aventure 3 has a 750W motor, 4 inch fat tires, up to 65 miles of range, a 400 pound payload capacity, a suspension fork, and a suspension seatpost, so it feels practical around town but still ready when the pavement ends and my normal errand turns into a scenic little side quest.

Hey, cool bike, man. Looks just like mine. So, they're the same, right? They actually are two new bikes from Aventon that are the same in many ways, but also have some big differences.

After putting it through its paces for a couple of weeks, I’m impressed with what it brings to the table. The gravity-cast frame is a big step up—stiff, responsive, and way sharper-looking than older models, with geometry that makes city streets and gravel trails feel like home.

I'm going to call it 11 miles an hour up the hill on the Aventon Aventure 3. All right, pretty solid result there on the 750 watt. Here's one more short hill, throttle only. Oh, yeah, we're cruising with this one. Short hills are pretty easy for this e-bike. All right, now I'm just going to coast down. And uh actually, let's put it in turbo. I want to see how fast I can get on this thing.

The kids and I already love our family bike rides, but the Aventon Aventure 3 has taken them to another level. The 750W motor makes hills way easier, the fat tires handle everything from trails to sand, and the thumb throttle means you can just cruise when your legs are done.

I got myself an Aventon Adventure 3 ebike and it completely changed the game for me. It gave me a way to get moving again without feeling defeated right away. At first, it was just a few short rides, but those rides have started adding up. I was smiling, sweating, and most importantly, believing in myself again. So, this channel is about more than just weight loss.

There’s a lot of great tech in here 2. It actually feels different to ride Still very early days so no big claims yet but I’m curious to see how it holds up over time. Full review coming on YouTube once I’ve properly lived with it. Learn more at the link in my bio.

Off-roading, it excels on doubletrack trails and cinder paths, but with this burly bike’s weight and components, it has limited functionality on singletrack and more aggressive mountain trails.

So, when we talk about saddles up here, that's another area that the Aventon Aventure 3 got a little bump. So, we've got a alloy, excuse me, we've got a suspension seat post that's 350 mm long, but you've got 50 mm of travel in the suspension seat post.

If value leads your decision, it’s the one to beat; if you want ride refinement and a dealer network, the Aventure 3 makes its case. Check both brands’ sites for current pricing.

Uh, other than that, this bike's fantastic. The torque sensing is spoton like ID said before. Uh the uh it's got the locking system and everything so that you can lock the bike. But I'm here to kind of give you my impressions, my riding impressions with it and um show you the bike. It's a neat color and I I love the bike. It's probably the uh my most favorite bike I've I've bought.

I find the A3 is pretty much all improvements. The bike feels slightly lighter, battery life is much better, and overall it feels more efficient and less bulky.

But when value, acceleration, styling, and riding fun are factored together, the V20 becomes extremely difficult to ignore.
