At the risk of repeating myself, we are rather fond of Aventon e-bikes here at Digital Trends. They tend to review favorably because of how much value they offer. Take the Ramblas eMTB e-bike, for instance. We gave it four and a half stars in our review back in August. Resident reviewer and e-bike expert, Bruce Brown, praised it for its “strong hardtail” frame, excellent mid-drive torque, strong stopping power, smooth ride experience, and competitive pricing. The latter is a real highlight, but get this, it’s also on sale right now for $200 off. So, that competitive pricing is even more enticing. Normally $2,899, it’s down to $2,699 thanks to a big sale, saving you $200. Check out that sale for yourself, otherwise let’s discuss why this is such a great e-bike, especially if you like trail riding.
As I’ve already pointed out by sharing our review, our resident e-bike expert not only rated it highly but enjoyed his experience with the bike. That’s one of our biggest and most important factors for a favorable review — how much we think our readers will enjoy the product. If it doesn’t make practical sense or we think it provides a sub-par experience, well, let’s just say it’s not going to get a high star rating. But the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike sure did. Four and a half stars are impressive. So, what does it offer?
For starters, it’s a super versatile e-bike that’s suitable for trail riding, with rough terrain, and road riding, with smoother terrain. In other words, you can bring this thing and ride it virtually anywhere. It offers a long-range too, up to 80 miles on a single charge. Meanwhile, it has a top speed of 20 miles per hour, can carry a payload of up to 300 pounds, and is powered by a 750-watt (peak) motor with 100NM of torque. If you don’t know stats or understand the numbers, all you need to know is this thing is powerful enough to give you a smooth ride even on tough trails. Reviewer Bruce Brown even feels it’s suitable for “mountain biking,” which should give you a better idea of its power and capabilities.
It can certainly handle urban and city riding, though, if you need it for that. But it’s best used on and off the trail.
At any rate, it’s $200 off right now, down to $2,699 from $2,899 which is a fantastic price. We highly recommend getting one if you do a lot of trail riding, off-road biking, and everything in between.
