Aventon Abound LR & SR: The Ultimate Family Cargo e-Bike

The Aventon Abound LR and Abound SR are game-changers for families hitting Colorado’s vibrant parks, street fairs, and farmers markets in 2025.

The extended range, powered by a 708Wh battery, ensures you can explore all day without worrying about recharging.

The Abound SR stands out with its compact frame, advanced security features like GPS tracking and remote locking via the Aventon app, and a suspension seatpost for a smoother ride. The Abound LR offers a long rear rack for maximum cargo versatility, making it ideal for ambitious grocery runs or family adventures. Both models feature integrated lights with turn signals and a torque sensor for intuitive power delivery, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride. Whether you’re cruising to Boulder’s farmers market or Denver’s RiNo Art District, the Abound series is hard to beat for family-focused utility.

Aventon Pace 4: The Best All-Rounder for Colorado Riders

The Aventon Pace 4 is CyclErie’s go-to all-rounder, dominating our rental fleet due to its ease of use, comfort, and versatility. Perfect for commuters, casual riders, or weekend adventurers, the Pace 4 is designed for Colorado’s diverse landscapes, from urban Denver streets to Boulder’s gravel paths. Compared to its predecessor, the Pace 500.3, the Pace 4 boasts significant upgrades:

• Higher handlebars for an upright, comfortable riding position.

• A redesigned step-through frame that eliminates brake noise and enhances rider comfort.

• An impressive 70-mile range in minimal pedal-assist mode, ideal for long rides.

• Advanced security features via the Aventon Control Unit (ACU), including GPS tracking and remote disabling.

Aventon Aventure 3: The Off-Road Beast

The Aventon Aventure 3 is quickly becoming one of CyclErie’s most sought-after e-bikes, blending power, versatility, and style for Colorado’s trails and beyond. Equipped with 26x4" fat tires, a 750W motor, and a front suspension fork, this bike inspires confidence on sand, gravel, snow, or pavement. The 2025 redesign introduces a stiffer frame and the innovative Aventon ACU, offering GPS tracking, motion detection, and customizable power levels for a tailored ride.

The Aventure 3’s torque sensor ensures smooth, quiet pedal assist, while the full-color display provides clear speed, distance, and battery data. With a range of up to 60 miles, integrated lights with turn signals, and optional fenders and racks, it’s ready for urban commutes or off-road adventures in Colorado’s Front Range. From tackling the trails at Golden Gate Canyon to cruising Denver’s streets, the Aventure 3 is a powerful, all-terrain favorite.

Aventon Level 3: The Flagship Commuter

The Aventon Level 3 elevates the commuter experience with thoughtful upgrades for 2025, making it a top pick for Colorado’s urban riders. Designed for daily commutes in Denver or Longmont, this bike combines practicality with performance. Key features include:

• A MIK-style rear rack for mounting panniers, baskets, or child seats.

• Magura hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power in all weather.

• An adjustable quill stem for customizable handlebar height, ensuring a comfortable upright position.

• A dual-sided torque sensor for seamless, responsive pedal assist.

• A 500W motor with a top speed of 28 mph and a 40-mile range.

The Level 3’s suspension fork and 27.5" tires smooth out rough city roads, while integrated lights, fenders, and a built-in electronic lock add convenience and security. Whether you’re biking to work or running errands, the Level 3 is a versatile, feature-packed commuter that shines in Colorado’s bustling cities.

Benno Boost: Mid-Drive Cargo Excellence

For riders seeking a cargo e-bike that feels like a traditional bicycle, the Benno Boost is CyclErie’s top mid-drive pick. Powered by a Bosch Performance Line motor (available in 65Nm or 85Nm variants), the Boost delivers smooth, natural power without a throttle, making it a Class 1 e-bike. Its lightweight frame, responsive handling, and 250lb payload capacity make it ideal for hauling groceries or kids through Colorado’s neighborhoods.

The Boost’s Bosch system offers reliable performance, a long-lasting battery, and compatibility with accessories like child seats and cargo bags. While it lacks the throttle found on Class 2 bikes like the Aventon Abound, its agile ride quality and premium build make it a favorite for riders prioritizing a traditional cycling feel. Perfect for family outings to Erie’s community events or Boulder’s Pearl Street, the Benno Boost is a cargo hauler that doesn’t compromise on fun.

Salsa Tributary: The Gravel Rocket

For gravel enthusiasts, the Salsa Tributary is CyclErie’s top choice for 2025. This e-bike is a beast on Colorado’s gravel roads, combining speed, power, and agility. Available with Shimano GRX or SRAM AXS builds, the Tributary is equipped with a Bosch Performance Line SX motor for lightweight, responsive assistance. Its drop-bar geometry, gravel-specific tires, and carbon fork ensure a fast, smooth ride on routes like the LoBo Trail or the gravel paths around Steamboat Springs.

The Tributary’s 50Nm torque and 600Wh battery deliver ample power and range for long gravel adventures, while the hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping. Whether you’re racing friends or exploring Colorado’s backroads, the Salsa Tributary is a thrilling, high-performance e-bike that redefines gravel riding.
