Torque sensor on this Denago is tuned WAY better than Aventon's torque sensor. Smoother, more intuitive, and the range for each level is more appropriate. Aventon's is just goofy. Go way up to 20 mph in first level of assist. Not at all tuned as nicely. SHould be tuned like a mid drive, otherwise why have the torque sensing.
Aventon has their own factory (not shared). But Denago has its own factory. Fairly rare within the bike or ebike industry to own your own factory. Most like Rad use 3rd party contractor chinese factory.
Great review,,, very thorough,,, I'll be getting my first ebike with my tax refund,,, this model looks like the best choice for me,,, do you happen to have a discount code?
I like it.. Nice battery reserve. Very good step through design. 2 rear lights👍. Kind of disappointing top speeds. Love that I don't need to really break a sweat pedaling to get a decent speed increase. I come from a mostly all motor cycle riding lifestyle so pedaling is not my strong point. 58 years old and less work is better. I'm not a bicycle guy. I chose an Ariel Rider Kepler because it was a more powerful faster bike at a great price. That said, this bike I would have in my top 10 list I think. Good size and ease of use.. Good range I am sure.. Just the speed is a bit off the mark and no rack.
In CT, where I live, the state is now offering $500 rebates on certain UL certified ebikes (pretty cool!) I'm looking for at Fat Ebike in the $1k-2k price range and am considering the Velotric as well as the Denago and Aventon. I have tested the Denago and love the natural torque sensor feel. They are currently applying for UL cert. I've ridden some cadence sensors and some feel too much like an on/off switch in addition to ghost peddling and delayed response in the pedal assist, which is just no good for me. I've heard there are some cadence sensors out there that closely mimic torque sensors. Given you've tested both, how would you describe the response and feel of the Velotric cadence sensor compared to the Denago's torque sensor? Are they similar or night and day? Thanks!

I appreciate you doing these reviews while braving the cold! Great review!
Thank you! Trying to eek out as many reviews as possible before it gets too cold.
With the Denago's 19.2 Ah battery why would I choose the Aventon Aventure.2 with its 15 Ah battery?
thanks for the review. needs more color options and an option to unlock. cheers
Looks like it came out of the same factory that makes Aventon.
Agreed!

Ocean City, NJ police department uses these e-bikes for parking and beach patrol.

The Kepler is hard to squawk at.
I love it

Oh yeah 😎
$1800 ouch...maybe if was $1200
Torque sensors add quite a bit to the cost.
