“The Aventon Adventure and Velotric Nomad 1 bikes have similar specifications and features, but there are some differences that may influence your choice.”
Optimal response time for throttle and pedal assist
- The Aventon Aventure has a slight delay before the throttle kicks in, with about a full pedal rotation needed
- In comparison, the Velotric Nomad has a quicker response for both the throttle and pedal assist
The Nomad has a quicker response time when using the throttle and pedal assist, requiring less time to kick in compared to the Aventure.
Speed limitations of the thumb throttle
- The thumb throttle on both bikes can only take them up to 20 miles per hour when locked or unlocked
- However, once unlocked, the throttle on the Nomad allows for a top speed of 26 miles per hour, compared to the Aventure’s 20 miles per hour
The Nomad offers a higher top speed of 26 miles per hour when using the thumb throttle, while the Aventure maxes out at 20 miles per hour.
Battery range with pedal assist vs. throttle only
- According to Aventon, the Aventure can achieve a range of 45 miles with pedal assist and 27 miles with throttle-only usage
- The Nomad, as stated by Velotric, has a slightly higher range of 55 miles with pedal assist and 52 miles with throttle-only usage
The Aventure has a slightly lower range compared to the Nomad, with 45 miles using pedal assist and 27 miles using throttle-only, while the Nomad can reach 55 miles with pedal assist and 52 miles with throttle-only usage.
Factors affecting battery range
- Factors such as rider weight, tire pressure, and terrain can influence the number of miles achieved with a battery
- In a previous video, the presenter obtained around 37 miles on the Aventure with 17 pounds of tire pressure and weighing 230 pounds
Several factors, including rider weight, tire pressure, and terrain, can impact the distance covered on a single battery charge.
Seat comfort and modifications
- The presenter found the seat on the Aventure uncomfortable and replaced it with a different seat
- On the other hand, the seat on the Nomad did not require any modification
- However, the presenter did install suspension seat posts on both bikes according to personal preference
The Nomad’s seat is more comfortable out of the box compared to the Aventure, which required a seat modification. The presenter added his own suspension seat posts to both bikes.
Upcoming accessory video and personal preferences
- The presenter plans to create an accessory video for the Nomad, highlighting both shared and unique accessories with the Aventure
- The Aventure and the Nomad have become the presenter’s favorite bikes due to features such as hydraulic brakes, front suspension, 750-watt motors, and long-range batteries
- The presenter personally favors the Aventure due to its built-in brake light and nighttime light, important for riding in a city like Chicago
Both the Aventure and the Nomad are highly recommended, offering impressive features such as hydraulic brakes, front suspension, strong motors, and long-lasting batteries. However, the Aventure’s built-in brake light and nighttime light make it more suitable for city riding.
“I’m thinking about I’m putting it Toe to Toe with my adventure and the reason I like my Aventure is because it has that built-in brake light and nighttime light, that’s like one of the only reasons that I would choose an adventure over this bike because they’re basically the same.”
