Aventon Abound LR vs Lectric Xpedition 2.0
I'm looking at these two cargo ebikes for my next ebike but just torn between the two due to certain features. Seems like you can never just get it all when it comes to ebikes. I absolutely love the look of the Aventon Abound LR and I really like the ACU anti-theft features they put into the bike like GPS tracking, kickstand lock, motor lock, etc. Aventon in general seems to be a higher quality brand than Lectric too. But unfortunately the rear rack capacity on the Abound is only a measly 143 lbs and I would like to occasionally bring an adult passenger along on the bike with me. This wouldn't be too often maybe only like 2 to 4 times a year. I like the Xpedition 2.0's look well enough and the carrying capacity on the rear rack is more than enough. But the lack of security features on the bike give me pause and it seems like Lectric Ebikes are more service heavy than Aventon. I would be keeping my bike in my apartment with an elevator and mainly using it for quick food pickup/short stops where I am only away from the bike for 5-10 minutes. So all in all, does anyone e have experience with these 2 bikes? How is it riding with two adults? Are the ACU anti theft features really effective? Please let me know! Thanks!
