AVE e-bikes

AVE Bikes have always been on the forefront of performance-based technologies especially with the well-known Bosch-powered drive systems. The Australian based company switched ownership about three years ago resulting in a fresh launch of advanced electric bikes back in 2018.

Riding on an AVE e-bike is quite an experience and the bikes have pretty much standard designs. The first ‘Made in Australia’ e-bikes, launched on 3 March 2018, saw a release of three main models of e-bikes; Ave SH11 Adventure Crossbar, Ave TH11 Adventure Stepthrough, and Ave mh11 Compact Nuvinci e-bike, all with Bosch CX.

Well, if you think I missed out the Ave TH11 Rennsport Carbon, you’re probably right. The fourth model by AVE has some interesting background to it. Having a bright orange appeal and hand-made carbon frames, the e-bike is AVE’s best trim yet. Carbon brake levers as well as 4-piston brake calipers have been mounted on this e-bike, coupled with unique one lever gear shifting straight form California based BOX components.

Earlier before its launch, one local seller had the chance to get the AVE Carbon TH11 before the release date. Unfortunately, the bike was stolen one month before the launch, and even the suspect caught on camera. The local seller later offered a $5000 reward for anyone who knew whereabouts of the bright orange electric bicycle. At a retail of $7000, at least AVE should start thinking of fitting their future models with GPS.
All in all, AVE have (no pun intended) had quite a jump in 2018, and the four trims of e-bikes prompted a growing customer base. After going through reviews of several buyers, the e-bike’s performance is pretty much the same as US-based Scott’s range of e-bikes, which uses Bosch CX technology as well. However, Scott has already released 2019 models of electric bicycles and is not looking to stop anytime soon!
