Should you buy one?
If you need to carry kids, a passenger or a lot of cargo, the Aventon Abound LR is a great option, and I’d highly recommend it. LR stands for long rear. Next to the Abound SR (standard rear), you get a lot more room on the back for bigger kids or even an adult.
I’m about 200 lbs. I sat on the back of this bike and felt sturdy. The rear rack is rated for 143 lbs. You get a torque sensor, a 750W motor, hydraulic disc brakes, a thumb throttle that works from zero and a kickstand that keeps the bike steady while you load it.
At about $2,000, I think that’s pretty decent for a torque sensor bike from a brand where you know what you’re getting in terms of quality.
Buying note: as of Oct 22, 2026, Aventon lists the Abound LR at $1,999 in Sage and Matte Stealth.

Source note: the figures are from Aventon’s Abound LR product page, checked Oct 22, 2026. Rows marked “my video” are what I said in my July 2025 video, where I called the price “about $2,000”.
Where the numbers are shaky:
- Suspension travel. In my video I guessed the fork had an inch or two of travel and the seat post about an inch. Aventon lists 51mm for the fork and 50mm for the seat post, which is about 2 inches each. Go with Aventon’s numbers.
- Range. Aventon rates it for up to 60 miles, and that’s the number I quoted. A passenger or heavy cargo will cut that down.
- Handlebar height. I said the handlebar only adjusts forward and back. Aventon’s page describes an adjustable quill stem.
- Weight limits. The rear rack is rated for 143 lbs and the whole bike for 440 lbs total. Add up you, your passenger and your cargo.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Long rear with room for bigger kids or an adult
- Rear rack rated for 143 lbs
- 750W motor with a torque sensor
- Thumb throttle that works from zero
- Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear
- Comfortable, cushy grips and a plush seat
- Front fork suspension plus a suspension seat post
- Step-through frame
- Integrated headlight, tail light and turn signals
- Lockable storage bag built into the frame on my test bike

- App connected, so you can see where your bike is
Cons
- I could only find forward and back handlebar adjustment (Aventon lists an adjustable quill stem)
- No rear suspension, only the seat post
- Turn signals felt a bit gimmicky to me
- No bags or seat on the rear rack out of the box
- At 88 lbs on Aventon’s spec page, it’s a heavy bike
Built to carry
You can see how elongated the rear of this bike is. It’s designed to carry cargo. The rear rack has a 143 lb (65 kg) capacity, which is huge. I’m about 200 lbs, I sat on the back and I felt sturdy.
I think most people will use it for a passenger or a child seat on the back.
My bike came with footrests, but no accessory on the rear rack itself. You can easily put bags on the back. Aventon has a ton of bags and accessories, and you’ll find them through my link.
Storage on the frame
Something that did come on my bike was a bag built into the frame. It holds a lot, and it locks, so it’s a nice place to keep a few things on your bike. I really like how Aventon integrated it into the frame.
Controls and display
On the left side you have the front hydraulic disc brake and the more comfortable hand grips that I like. They’re a little cushy, so resting your palm on them during long rides is more comfortable.
You also get a thumb throttle that works from zero. The color display is sleek and integrated, and it’s app connected. Download the Aventon app and you can control parts of your bike and see where it is.
The display controls are simple. You get a battery percentage, and a bar at the top shows how hard the motor is working.
The handlebar is very standard. I only found forward and back adjustment, though Aventon lists an adjustable quill stem.
On the right side is a shifter I really like, with eight gears in the rear and one in the front, plus the rear hydraulic disc brake and another comfortable grip.
Motor and torque sensor
The Abound LR is designed to carry cargo, so it has a 750W motor. Aventon lists 1,188W peak and 80Nm of torque.
There’s a torque sensor on the crankset, which is what I expect from an Aventon. The harder you pedal, the more help you get. If you’ve only ridden cadence sensor bikes, it feels more natural.
Comfort
The front fork suspension is Aventon branded. I’d say it’s pretty comfortable and does a decent job. There’s also a Zoom suspension seat post. There’s nothing in the rear other than that seat post, so keep that in mind on rough roads.
The seat is an Aventon-branded seat I hadn’t seen before, and it’s very comfortable. Push your finger into it and you can see how plush it is. It’s comfortable to ride, especially for longer distances.
The step-through frame makes it easy to get on and off with a passenger on the back.
Lights and turn signals
For rider safety, there’s a headlight at the front and an integrated tail light at the back with blinkers. The blinkers feel a bit gimmicky to me, but they’re nice to have.
The kickstand
I want to call out the kickstand. You put it down with your foot, and it gives the bike a lot of stability. In my video I’m pushing the bike back and forth and it stays put. It has a foot on each side, so it won’t tip over the way a traditional kickstand can while you load cargo or a passenger.
Range and charging
I quoted about 60 miles per charge, which matches Aventon’s rating. That’s plenty for most commutes, though a passenger or heavy cargo will cut it. Aventon lists a 36V 20Ah (733Wh) removable battery and a 5 hour charge from empty to full.
What the specs mean on the road
36V 20Ah, 733Wh. Aventon’s 60 miles is a best case. A passenger or cargo will cut it.
143 lb rack, 440 lb total. The rack number covers what sits on the back; the total covers you, your passenger and your cargo. Stay inside both.
88 lbs. That’s heavy to lift onto a car rack or carry up steps.
180mm front, 203mm rear rotors.
51mm fork, 50mm seat post. That’s about 2 inches each. It takes the edge off bumps, but there’s no rear shock for a passenger on the back.
Class 2. Throttle and assist stop at 20 mph.

Source note: Abound LR figures are from Aventon’s product page. Abound and RadWagon 4 figures are from my Aventon Abound review and RadWagon 4 review. Range figures are each brand’s top rated number.
If you’re deciding between Aventon’s cargo bikes: my Abound SR review covers the shorter-rear version I tested with my kids, and my original Abound review covers the first model. The LR carries more battery than the original Abound and outrates the RadWagon 4 on payload and range. The RadWagon 4 costs less and is lighter. My Abound vs RadWagon 4 comparison goes deeper.
Who it’s for
- Parents taking kids to school or around town
- Anyone carrying an adult passenger
- Grocery runs and other errands with lots of cargo
- Commuters who bring a lot of things to work
- Riders who want a step-through frame and a torque sensor
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who need a light bike to carry upstairs
- Anyone who wants rear suspension
- Shoppers who just want a basic commuter. My list of e-bikes under $2,000 has cheaper picks.
FAQ
What does LR stand for?
Long rear. The Abound SR is the standard rear version with a shorter back end. It’s 8 lbs lighter and $100 cheaper on Aventon’s page.
Can the Abound LR carry an adult?
In my video I said you could easily fit an adult back there, and I sat on the back myself and felt sturdy (0:45-1:00). The rear rack is rated for 143 lbs, though, and I’m about 200 lbs, so my sit test went past that rating. Keep any passenger plus cargo within the 143 lb rack rating and the 440 lb total limit.
Does the throttle work from zero?
Yes. It’s a thumb throttle, and it works from zero.
Does it have a torque sensor?
Yes. The torque sensor is on the crankset.
How far does it go on a charge?
About 60 miles, which is Aventon’s rated range.
Does it come with a seat or bags for the back?
My bike came with footrests but no accessory on the rear rack. Aventon sells bags, seats and other accessories separately.
Price
As of Oct 22, 2026, Aventon lists the Abound LR at $1,999. I think that’s pretty decent for a torque sensor cargo e-bike with Aventon’s build quality.
