Abound LR features and capabilities
The 88 - pound Abound LR is a bit much for pedaling without power aid , except on flat , smooth surfaces , and only if you hold dear every chance for employment . I count 160 pounds , and in ride the Abound LR around Long Beach , California , the 80 Nm of torque impress it out briskly at dealings lights . The Abound LR is configure as a Class 2 eastward - wheel , limiting the three levels of pedal assistance or throttle power to a maximum of 20 mph .
The powertrain consist of a 36V , 750 - James Watt rearward hub driving motor and rechargeable Li - ion 36V 20Ah stamp battery that produce 708 Wh of electric power . Aventon rates the Abound LR range at a maximal 60 miles , although , as always , to go that far , you ’ll likely need to use the downhearted pedal assist level and keep the speed comparatively abject . Cargo weightiness , focal ratio , route surface and ramp , temperature , and more impress e - cycle range .
Aventon helpfully fit the Abound LR with a torsion sensor so the powerfulness assistance matches your pedaling force , not the speed . The Ride Tune feature in the Aventon app allow you to configure the foot lever assist levels to suit your preferences . Both of those feature make pedal with great power assist more effective and natural - feeling .
The 440 - Irish pound payload capacity includes a utmost of 143 pound on the rear rack . With that much possible weightiness , it ’s reassuring that the Abound LR has hydraulic platter brakes with 180 mm front and 203 mm rearward disk rotors .
The LR is rated for riders 4 feet 11 inches to 6 base 6 inch tall . That wide compass is potential because you could adjust the handlebar height and slant , as well as the seat height . A received seat abeyance station and an adjustable front fork suspension avail weaken any impact from swelling and route Earth’s surface irregularities .
A centre stand mesh rear wheel guard make loading cargo or children easier and safe . The Abound LR ’s received equipment includes the rearward rack , buffer , footboard , and a little frame computer storage bagful that tucks in the skeleton behind the hindquarters thermionic vacuum tube . The storage bag is n’t large enough to hold most helmets , but you could include rainwater appurtenance , snacks , and tool .

The Aventon Abound LR is the fellowship ’s third e - bike with the ACU . TheAventon Control Unituses GPS and 4 G connectivity to enhance the e - bike ’s certificate and convenience , let in support for over - the - air ( OTA ) system upgrade and upkeep .
