The bike also comes with a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, torque sensor, a 80mm adjustable suspension fork, and Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes which is an upgrade to the Adventure.1’s Zoom hydraulic brakes.

The bike also comes with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain, torque sensor, Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes, and a 110mm adjustable suspension fork for a smoother ride.

This allows all riders who love the outdoors stay outdoors even longer.
While both electric bikes, the Aventon Adventure.2 and the Mokwheel Basalt, are very popular and have some features they both share, let’s breakdown 5 differences.
- Capabilities: They don’t call the Mokwheel Basalt the World’s First Power Station electric bike for nothing. It is actually the only electric bike with those capabilities. The Aventure.2 is not power station capable.
- Range: The Mokwheel Basalt also has a longer range than the Aventon Adventure.2. With a range of up to 80 miles on a single charge, the Basalt can take you further than the Adventure.2, which has a range of up to 60 miles. This means you can go on longer rides without worrying about running out of battery power.
- Ride: Both bikes come with a suspension fork, but the Basalt's fork has more travel than the the Adventure.2's fork, which may make for a more comfortable ride. Additionally, the Basalt has a more ergonomic saddle, which can make a big difference in terms of comfort on longer rides.
- PAS: Mokwheel Basalt has 5 levels of PAS while the Adventure.2 has 4. Having 5 levels of PAS gives the rider a more gradual feel to the electric bike.
- Value: Although the Aventon Adventure.2 and the Mokwheel Basalt are priced similarly, with both models available at around $1,999, it's important to note that the Basalt offers an enhanced electric bike experience. Despite the same price tag, choosing the Basalt allows you to unlock even more value in terms of quality, performance, and capability.
