The Aventon Aventure 3 and Velotric Summit 2 are two capable, torque-sensor electric bikes aimed at riders who want to leave the pavement behind — but they take different routes there. The Aventure 3 is a do-everything fat-tire all-rounder, equally happy commuting or crossing gravel, sand and snow. The Summit 2 is a hybrid/mountain bike tuned for mixed-terrain riding, and it backs that up with a huge 95-mile range. Here's how they compare head-to-head — and how to save on either.

The verdict
Choose the Aventon Aventure 3 if you want a true fat-tire all-rounder — the 4-inch tires float over sand, snow and gravel, and built-in 4G/GPS anti-theft is a nice touch for a bike you'll lock up around town. Choose the Velotric Summit 2 if range and mixed-terrain versatility matter more: its 95-mile claimed range is exceptional, SensorSwap lets you tune the ride feel, and the hybrid setup is quicker on pavement. Both are strong buys with hydraulic brakes and torque assist, and you can save $60 on either with our verified deals — $60 off Aventon via our link, or $60 off Velotric with code REF602492.
