- A quick comparison of the Bee Cool Pathfinder and Aventon Aventure ebikes. These are similarly priced 750watt ebikes each offering a step thru frame design with integrated battery, hydraulic disc brakes, and 26x4 fat tires. There are however many differences to consider if you are trying to decide between these two bikes. In this video we take an up close look at each bike and go over all the little differences between them. I hope you find the video helpful and informative.

The quick release helped me decide. Thanks for the comparison! It's amazing how has Bee Cool improved
Really good video. Your are getting very smooth on these videos. Like them alot.
I’d go with the Aventon every single time. If you ride, you’re going to want that power. The only people saying it’s not a big deal are those that haven’t experienced that difference. That true bfang motor with the higher output is what you want. I don’t like the frame design on the Be cool bike plus that derailleur and shifter are just unforgivable. The trigger shifter with the Acera is so much better. Plus, Aventon bikes have those amazing welds that just scream quality. Just my opinion.
I'm someone that hasn't experienced the difference. Here in Australia our legal limit is 250 watt. Apparently modeled on Europe and Britain so I read. I haven't had an ebike long, and I'm happy with it. But then it's all I've experienced.
What really killed me on the aventon is the fact that while using the throttle it automatically cuts out at 20 miles an hour and 48 volt 15-amp hour battery is just too small for the amount of power that it has and I agree with citizen cycle I don't like thumb throttle and I hate it that it's on the left I could learn to live with it if it was on the right but those are the things that killed me with the aventon
I agree...
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
@@trevorwoods3367 that’s a bummer ,,that a country limited the power !
Great comparison. I would go for the Bee Cool bike.
Excellent review. Concise and clear thanks so much
Excellent comparison but I think the be cool wins and I would like to see a three-way comparison someday with hemiway zebra what say you have a nice day
Great video. Thanks. I'm torn between these two bikes. I like the look of the aventon, and you said it had more power. The bee though has more features. The rack, bigger battery, colorfull easy to read display. It has the twist throttle on the right, which I like. Then there's the plush seat on the bee. If you took the rack and mirrors off the aventon, which you added. I think I'm choosing the bee.

Our Aventures were delivered by the bike shop today! Woo hoo! Yes, the two sized frames are actually different so I was incorrect in my previous comment. Can’t wait to try them out tomorrow before the snow falls again.

@@bernievassallo3336 Hi. Loving the Aventure. Haven’t really done any big hills with throttle only. Haven’t done any major hills. Sorry it doesn’t help. I usually use throttle only to give me a break after peddling awhile.
Great overall review comparison.
Got dui , put 400 miles on adventure, climbed 1500 feet of elevation on way to work. Crested top at 14 mph awsome
Bee cool bike for the win here
It literally has everything I would want in an ebike
Great job Brian.
Excellent review thank you. One detail that I think is important is that the Aventon advertises three different frame sizes. However if you go on their website and look at the actual measurements of each of those three frame sizes they are identical. The only thing that's different is the height of the seat post. I contact their customer service and ask if this was a misprint. They confirmed that there is only one frame size and that the only difference is in the seat posts. In my view this is false advertising.
Wow ! They were stupid enough to actually say that ??? Ive measured them, and there is more than just the difference of seat tube height. The distance from stem to seat post center varies too, (i.e. reach) as does the height of the top tube. You should stop lying there old fellow. Its gonna get you in trouble some day. These envious trolls here are getting old. You must work for Rad Power. Or a POS firm like Lectric.
Well, I'm picking mine up tomorrow and I van tell you there is a difference. I had the 24 and 26 side by side the 24 is shorter but is probably due to the tire size. I will compare the fork length and A-bar length to confirm. The seat post is also so.ethi g I will look at.
I have been desperately looking for a smaller bike…I’m 5 feet tall and my husband’s Lectric 2.0 is just too massive for me and I can barely reach the handlebars when sitting on the seat. I need to know specifically if someone manufactures a smaller bike…for petite riders. They could make a fortune if they did. When they say that their bike fits adults from ‘4’11 to 6’2” I know it’s BS. I want a bike that fits 4’10” to 5’3 comfortably with all the requisite bells and whistles.
I really liked this comparison. Both these bikes have their own unique style. Aventon looks sleek, shiny, and modern. Pathfinder looks like the coolest bike designed in 1947. Both seem very pretty to me. With bikes like these I think it could be good to just go with the one you like the looks of the best. You can always change parts like putting a twist throttle on an Aventon or a bigger amp controller on the Pathfinder but the frame will always be there.
Great comparison. I would go for the Magicycle.
😂🤣😅😆😂😂
Great side by side comparison! Right now I’m trying to decide between a aventure or magnum scout. Familiar with the scout? Thanks
Great info , the wheel base looks smaller on the Aventon , dose that affect the handling or turning radios ?
On the Aventon, an additional tail light is a must if you do any night riding.
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
Great comparison.
Damn I was gonna get the Aventon on now I'm undecided!
If you're a bigger person (220lbs. & over), I'd go with the Aventon, because of the power.
The Be Cool looks like a moped (it's cool though) but the Aventon has a great bigger peak motor, sleeker design, metal fenders, integrated rear light, and dealer support. The Aventon app is cool too. Both nice but I'd pick the Aventure.
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
@@bernievassallo3336 I love it. South Florida is pretty flat but it does great on over passes and hills like that. I'll get much more use when it cools off a little. It's been a super steamy summer. Lol.
Another good video citizens thank you, are those bar in mirrors on the aventon hafny mirrors? And how are they working out on that bike
Easy to install and they look nice but the reflection isn't perfect, has a little fisheye effect to it.
The Aventon has a USB hook up in the bottom of the display which no one seems to mention but it's a very cool and much needed feature I use at times. Does the Bee Cool ebike has that feature on its color display? Also does it has a water bottle hook up on the frame like the Aventon Aventure.
BeeCool has a USB on the bottom of the display. I can see the water bottle frame mounts on the BeeCool in the video.
Can you please tell me how to set my clock on that Pathfinder new color screen I cannot figure out how to get into the passcodes either and it does not tell me in my manual I thought you had a video showing how to do that but I cannot find it.. Any help would be very much appreciated thank you !
I'm getting the Aventon got a great local dealer 'nuff said! 😊
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
Thank god at least Aventon had a little more power, I was beginning to feel bad about buying the wrong bike. I still want a Bee Cool, I love that frame
The Aventon has dealer support for warranty work bee cool is online only
If you have a dealer in your area.
I see Bee Cool is branching out with dealers per the website.
Nice review, I thought there's a video somewhere on how to unlock the Aventon with your smart phone
Good videos. Actually if you look at the specs on the Aventon, there really aren’t two frame sizes. The difference is in the min/max seat height. I think it’s rather misleading. We just bought one of each being delivered by a dealership this week, fully assembled. Can’t wait to ride them so hopefully the snow will melt soon!
I can tell you that my husband's level with the bar is bigger and I can't get on it. Its a large, I rode a medium adventure and could get on and off easy.
The Aventure Step-Over, comes in 3 different sizes: S, M, L. The Step-Through, is the one that comes in 2 combo sizes. I have the Large Step-Over, & at 6'1", it's PERFECT.
Would be nice to add the Himiway Zebra as comparison here also.
I believe i heard on another channel that the Aventon can be unlocked via the app for more speed.
You heard correctly. It's easy as hell. I have the Aventure, myself & LOVE it. The site says the top speed is 28 MPH. I hit 33.2 MPH, yesterday on flat ground. Maybe, I had a tailwind. But, LOTS of Aventure owners will tell you they hit over 30 MPH.
hey bike dude when you road the aventon did the front brake go down to the bar? I took my bike to the pros and they said bleeding it is not the answer. the piston ring in the brake system is bad.
Great videos ! Didn’t see the distance on both bikes ? Did see adventure only went 24 miles full throttle only ? What about bee cool ? Will it last as long as their first model ?
Did you send a message too me this morning ? Or was it spam ?
I ordered, but have not yet received, the Ariel Rider Kepler bike. That will be my first E-bike. Have you tried it yet and how does it compare to others in the same class? Ty. And great video. You are easy to listen to and not annoying lol. That is rare.
Haha 😂 Thanks appreciate that!!
Kepler beats both of these bikes hands down in everything but distance. The 35mph keplar drains the battery faster.
I have had my Aventon Aventure now for about 3 weeks and I love it. Paid $2K for it. The bee Cool Pathfinder is stiff competition at a $1.8k current price tag. Aventon has two US distribution points, S. Cali and NC. Aventon support is very responsive, my bike was ordered and rcvd, fm Cali, in a weeks time frame....drop shipped to my local bike shop for assembly. I am not knowledgeable in Bee Cool support. I like the Bee Cool larger battery for sure, but I love the power that has been exhibited in the Aventon, however, as was pointed out the Aventon has to be peddeled to get the class 3 speed out of it (A major point when trying to decide between the two bikes). If I had known this b4 buying the Aventon I may have looked at the Bee Cool Pathfinder a little harder. The Aventon is more polished in appearance, especially when looking at the weld seams. Cable management appears to be a bit cleaner on the Aventon. As pointed out in this video, the Aventon seat is adequate but not the most comfortable seat out on the market. I have just recently ordered an aftermarket seat for my Aventon. I really don't see how anybody can go wrong with either bike. The Bee Cool Pathfinder is most certainly a very COOL ebike!
im pretty sure in most states if throttle only is above 20mph its no longer a bicycle, and you need registration, plates etc.......
@@TheReman5000
Maybe
But who's going to know if you use the override on the BEE?
Especially if you are off road.
@@TheReman5000 nope
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
Well built, solid bike
What bike rack would a person use to haul 2 of those beasts?
What is the brand of seat that you replaced the aventon seat with. I have been looking to replace mine. Thanks
Here is a link to the one I bought. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07NVR9Y7F?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
@@CitizenCycle925 Thank you. Just ordered one. Much appreciated.
Which one can give you the most upright position? Or is a biktrix stunner or juice ripcurrent better for upright or rad rover? Who makes more reliable?
ride position is easily changeable with a stem riser. aventon may be most upright out of the box though
What was the range of each bike?
I was very disappointed with the adventon bike my bike barley got 20 miles before my battery was dead. After taking to other owners that have the same problem. My opinion is there are better bikes that are no limited to 20 mph with throttle ,and larger batteries with a lower price. I did have a question regarding your m2sr750 review I can't find it, did you remove the review.?
what class is the becool explorer and pathfinder
awesome review, thank you!! A step thru is definitely my next bike purchase, and both these bikes are high on the list. But I don't like the fact that the Aventon can't be programed up to a class 3. My Aventon Sinch arrived as a class 2, but like the Aventon Pace, can be adjusted up. I'm no speed demon, and spend most of my time at 15, but once ans awhile its nice to have that extra ooomph in traffic !!
The Aventon will go 28 plus as long as you're pedaling but only 20 with the throttle
thanks again Bryan ... I'm going to do a true speed test on my Sinch this week so I know what Im talking about :-), but I think with the adjustment, I can hit close to 30 with throttle only... it may only be pedal assist, but I will find out. Here's the vid which showed how to change top speed: "czcams.com/video/r-dd_PrRers/video.html"
w/ max pedal assist, i've gotten my Aventure up to 32 mph
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
You’ve probably answered this, how tall are you? I’ve watched a lot of your videos on the rad rover and other fat tire bikes but at 6’2 I’m unsure if I’d fit
If you're a bigger person (220lbs. & over), I'd go with the Aventure, because of the power. I'm 6'1, 250, & I have the Large Aventon Step-Over, & I freaking LOVE IT!
Got myself a E-bike called Magicycle the other day, super powerful motor and pedal assist. It is same or better than the video’s, and more budget friendly. The nice and responsive customer service guy send me coupon CLD50 for $50 off, and $200 off CLD200 for 2 bike purchase. But I’m not going to get another bike anytime sooner, so just post it here if you guys need them.
Another reviewer discovered an interesting, undocumented feature. While riding, only using the throttle, if you hit the down button on the control panel, after a few seconds, the bike enters cruise control mode. You can now let go of the throttle and the bike will maintain your current speed. Did you ever experience that?
Which one has bettter customer service?
Which one would be best for pulling a load up a hill like a cart with a deer on it.
Probably a dual motor
You forgot to mention how many different colors does a bkool Pathfinder bike come in. I wish I could have that blue bike or the red one I just don't got that kind of money.
Does the Aventon come with a front finder?
Yes it does I just took it off so I could hang it on a rack
I have the Aventon, and while it's a nice bike, I think the Beecool has a better package.
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
@@bernievassallo3336 I thought it did ok with hills but sold my Aventon months ago and traded up to gazelle bikes
My Aventon Aventure in camo green arrived today at my local bike shop... I have vowed to figure out a way to unlock the full power using throttle only 😤😂.... Im an electrical controls technician and once I figure out a simple solution Ill post a video... 💯
Sounds good I have tons of people asking me how to do it and I have no idea!
Did you figure it out?
Well? Spill the beans! Is it possible le or not, I pick mi e up tomorrow.
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
The pull throttle seems too much. I get it however it's an e-bike and designed for mild to hard exercise. Let's say you gotta pull the bike over? That wrist is pulling throttle and you get a nose of reality. Does the Bee Cool have a throttle option you can set to zero?
BeeCool front sprocket 48 tooth,Back set 11-28 tooth... Aventon 45 tooth front 13-31 back.. Aventon would be a better trail/hill bike.. I own PathFinder.. What a Beeast !!
What is your favorite fat tire bike?
The Aventon is nice but if you can't unleash that Bafang what's the point? Plus that left throttle sucks, as well as the tail light, and why didn't they add a front fender?
The Aventure comes with a front fender I just took it off so it hangs nicely on my bike rack.
ive been watchin several e bike vids -ive decided on the aventon (im 6ft 210) med or large is the question - ??? - thanks and subbbed
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
I'm 6'1, 250 & got the Aventure Step-Over, Large. LOVE IT!
Have you ever reviewed a super 73 bike?
Hi, how are you liking your aventure and how does it do up hills throttle only ?… thanks and God bless you!
Nice job 👍
Here in NH hybrid bicycles are limited to 20 MPH
Exceeding 20 MPH you fall under motor vehicle laws. This means license , registration and inspection.
Another reason I left New England. Love it here in Florida and can ride an ebike all year round. No car inspection bs like MA. No yearly car tax, no state Income Tax, and we got a great governor.
Did the Bee Cool pass the grassy hill test? Thats all I care about, haha
Is that the Pee-wee Herman bike?
hmmm the be cool pathfinder looks pretty similar to the Sondors LX
Yeah, I noticed that also, with the back half of the frame… but the Sondors has a mid-drive motor & 21ah batt & humongous 4.8” dia tires… its a beast… Ive got a Sondors Rockstar and its awesome! ✌🏻
I owned a BeeCool before it was stolen. Customer service is non-existent. I had a battery short and overheating causing component damage. BeeCool was a nightmare to deal with by email only,.. no tech phone contact allowed. They would not replace the battery. When it went away I replaced the bike with a Wired Freedom. The thief didn’t get much in my opinion.
WHAT SIZE ARE THESE BIKES?????
bought the aventure, bad front brakes, the lock out forks dont work and with the throttle the low speed is eight miles per hour, filed a claim and so far they are avoiding me, I did get a link to a help center that said the site was brokene, very scary when aventon is the only place I can get these parts and they avoid you,
Based on your no pedal range tests, the Pathfinder should have around 10 miles more NO PEDAL range, which would be my SOLE criteria for choosing it over the other one. As for it looking like a moped, I love mopeds. I have been riding gas powered pedal mopeds since the mid '70s, and still have 5 of them. I love them, but I want to be able to ride in bike lanes and on bike paths. But range is absolutely critical. Because I am disabled and can barely walk, if the battery went dead more than a few hundred feet from home, I would be stranded. And if it happened on a bike path where gas powered motor vehicles are not allowed, I couldn't even call someone to come and get me. So for me range is everything. None of that other stuff matters. Either bike would need a larger more comfortable seat for me. I have my own bike lights, use a flip phone that cannot be connected to anything. One really important thing that neither one of these bikes have is a centerstand. How are you supposed to fix a flat tire? No way to hold the bike up while removing a wheel.
Waiting on the Beecool Challenger video, Muhahaha \m/
I'm just waiting on the challengers arrival 😁
Hellz Yeahz!!
Magicycle. 86nm. 28mph
The BeeCool Pathfinder looks like a copy of one of the Sondors frames. 🤔
Literally every frame of every ebike are made by the same companies in China. Hence why all the styles look the same from all the manufacturers
Torque sensor vs Cadence sensor -
This product is not white. It's more a sand color
Left hand throttle on Aventon? nope!
When I heard them throttle completely lost interest paying for posting
The throttle going over 2.0 mph is illegal in most states. To be considered a bike the throttle must not go over 20mph
Up to 25mph is legal in my state.
These two bikes are not women's bike they're made for a man or a woman and the reason why you got the step-over is good as you get older you don't want to swing your leg over the bar that's way too hard to do before the other people that just want to or step over bike like me that would be great and back in those days I used to ride a women's adult bike with that bar that goes down low that was not what that bike was for it was for that stepped Over the Bar that was easy to do and you can ride so you people learn something new just down so the step-over bike is not a girl's bike and it's Diamonds by it's made for both man or woman so in the long run it's okay to ride the step-over bike it doesn't bother me none everybody's gone think it's a woman's bike it's not it's made for a woman or a men just to let you heads up I learn that the other day on CZcams channel
Wow
Sound like somebody struck a nerve. 😆
And a dress is a long Tshirt. Right?
Hey get what makes you feel happy.
I prefer the Man's style. But I'm tall.
I hate to dog this company But I have put it in a shop and have proof these problems exist, and once the brake fluid leaks on the brakes, the brakes are shot and the rotor is shot too, Big mess it is.
What company? 🤔
@@socalifone3044 Aventon, it's been six months and my dealer can t even get parts from them.
Initial response: Got this bike for my friend. czcams.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ Delivery was fast. And the friend was surprised I would order it when she had never suggested she wanted anything but the pedal bike she had. She has now ridden the bike two times and gives it a 10 and says it is very fun. We have some hills in our town that are very challenging to climb on a typical bike. But tonight she went up with the pedal assist and loved it. I was way behind on my standard bike, huffing and puffing. Now she is no longer lagging behind me. This thing is powerful enough that a person could go around town without any pedaling. She likes to get some exercise so on flat ground she hits the red button to turn off pedal assist and only uses the twist throttle when she's in a tough spot. The bike looks good. It is really a very nice bike for the friend. Now for me, when I get an electric bike, I'm twice her size and will be looking for a bigger watt motor and battery. But this one is just wonderful for my friend. I am happy with this purchase.
