STORE FINDER
Electrify NZ is proud to introduce Aventon – the electric bike brand that's taken the USA by storm – now available in-store and online for Kiwi riders.
If you've been following the global e-bike scene, you'll have heard of Aventon. Named the World's Best E-Bike Brand by TIME Magazine in both 2024 and 2025, this California-based brand has built a reputation for delivering premium features at prices that don't require a second mortgage. With over 40,000 five-star reviews and a loyal following across North America, Aventon has officially arrived in New Zealand and Electrify NZ is your home for the range.
The Aventon Story
Founded in 2012, Aventon started life as a fixed-gear bicycle company before pivoting to electric bikes in 2018. The mission was simple: make quality e-bikes accessible to everyday riders, not just cycling enthusiasts with deep pockets.
That approach clearly resonated. Today, Aventon is one of the largest e-bike brands in the United States, sold through 1,800+ retailers and loved by commuters, families, and adventure seekers alike. Their secret? Vertical integration. Aventon owns its manufacturing, which means tighter quality control and better value passed on to riders.
Now, New Zealand gets access to their latest lineup featuring cutting-edge technology you won't find on other bikes at this price point.
The Aventon Range: Three Models, Endless Possibilities
Aventon Level 3 | $3,799
The Level 3 is Aventon's flagship commuter, and it's easy to see why Bicycling magazine called it "the benchmark commuter e-bike."
Powered by a responsive 500W motor with torque sensor technology, this bike delivers smooth, natural assistance that adapts to your pedalling effort. The 720Wh battery provides a genuine 70+ mile range (independent testers actually exceeded this), meaning your daily commute – and then some – is covered on a single charge.
What sets the Level 3 apart is the finish. A gravity-cast aluminium frame gives it a clean, nearly weld-free look. Magura hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power. An 80mm suspension fork and suspension seatpost smooth out rough roads. And practical touches like integrated lights with turn signals, full fenders, and a rear rack make it ready for real-world riding from day one.
Aventon Level 3 Step-Thru | $3,799
Same outstanding performance as the Level 3, but with an easy-mount step-through frame that makes getting on and off effortless.
Don't mistake the lower frame for a compromise, Aventon's gravity-cast construction maintains the stiffness and stability you need, without the wobble that plagues cheaper step-through designs. Available in Glacier Mint and Sandstone colourways, it looks as good as it rides.
Perfect for riders who prefer easier mounting, those with mobility considerations, or anyone who simply likes the relaxed aesthetic.
Aventon Abound LR Cargo | $4,199
Need to haul the kids, the groceries, or half the garage? The Abound LR is Aventon's do-everything cargo bike, and reviewers are calling it the best-value cargo e-bike of 2025.
The "LR" stands for Long Rack and it's long enough to fit two child seats comfortably. With a 440 lb total payload capacity and a 750W motor pumping out 80Nm of torque, this bike moves serious weight up serious hills without breaking a sweat. Independent testers achieved 75 miles of range in eco mode.
It comes loaded with practical kit: footboards and wheel guards for passenger safety, a lockable frame storage bag, full metal fenders, and hydraulic disc brakes with a beefy 203mm rear rotor. The BMX-style cockpit provides stable, confident handling even when fully loaded.
The Tech That Sets Aventon eBikes Apart: ACU
All three models feature Aventon's proprietary Aventon Control Unit (ACU) a smart system that brings 4G connectivity, GPS tracking, and genuine anti-theft protection to your e-bike.
Through the Aventon app, you can track your bike's location in real-time, set geofencing boundaries, lock the rear wheel remotely, and receive alerts if someone tampers with your ride. There's even a keyless battery system and startup passcode protection. The first year of 4G connectivity is included free.
Beyond security, the ACU enables Ride Tune customisation (adjust power delivery to your preference), Boost Mode (120% power for 30 seconds when you need it), and over-the-air firmware updates so your bike keeps getting better.
It's the kind of tech you'd expect on a $5,000+ European e-bike, not at these prices.
