California-based eBike specialists, Aventon are launching a new eBike called the Soltera.2. This new eBike brings a load of updates over the OG Soltera. The Soltera.2 ships as a Class 2 eBike, with both pedal assist and throttle. The throttle is removable in case the place you want to ride prohibits throttle usage.
Like the original Soltera, the new Soltera.2 comes in either a step-over frame or a step-through frame, and 4 sizes, regular and large, in both frame styles. Four different levels of pedal assist are available to the Soltera.2 rider, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo.
While the Soltera.2 ships as a Class II ebike, you can unlock the ability to run it as a Class III which will hit pedal-assisted speeds of 25mph. This feature is accessible through the Aventon App.
With the torque sensor, your pedaling effort is detected and then seamlessly amplified, giving you “just the right amount of assist when you need it most on long rides or commutes across town”.
Rocking the same lightweight aluminum frame as its predecessor makes riding the Soltera.2 enjoyable on flat terrain, while allowing you to conquer the hills or carry it up a flight or two of stairs.
Integrated head and tail lights, along with built-in turn signals add to the rider’s safety and confidence when sharing the road with both motorists and pedestrians. A single charge is said to give the Soltera.2 riders up to 46 miles of range (using PAS Eco throughout flat terrain, with a rider weight of 160 lbs).
