Is it for you?
Best suited to
Families looking for the cheapest credible cargo e-bike in the Australian market. The Abound undercuts the Tern Quick Haul by more than $2,000 and the Tern GSD by close to $6,000.
Standout strength
Price-to-payload ratio is in a class of its own. 200 kg total payload at $3,699 ride-away is unmatched.
The main compromise
Eco-Drive rear hub is not as refined as Bosch on hill starts with a fully loaded bike.

How you would ride it
Aventon
Aventon's Australian range drops the US-market throttle and ships as pure pedal-assist. Strong value, big-feature lists, hydraulic brakes standard, and one of the broader fat-tyre selections at the $3,500 price point.
