Where to Buy Aventon Bikes in Michigan [Dealer Guide]

7/22/2025

Electric bikes are booming in Michigan, and Aventon is one of the hottest brands fueling that excitement. Known for blending quality and value, Aventon e-bikes have become hugely popular – in fact some dealers call Aventon “the #1 selling e-bike brand”. If you’re looking to join the e-bike movement, this guide will show you where to buy Aventon bikes in Michigan. We’ll cover why Aventon is a great choice, highlight popular models, and point you to the top dealers statewide . Let’s roll!

​Why Choose Aventon E-Bikes?

Picture

A Trusted, Award-Winning Brand:

Aventon has quickly risen to be one of the most respected e-bike makers. They have over 1,800 authorized bike shops across the country and even earned a Time Magazine award for their innovative designs. This wide dealer network means you get local support, and Aventon stands behind their bikes with solid warranties (generally 2 years) and customer care

High Quality & Value:

Aventon e-bikes are known for offering high-end features at reasonable prices. Most models fall in the $1,200–$2,000 range, making them an excellent value for the performance. You’re getting quality components (powerful motors, long-range batteries, hydraulic brakes, etc.) without the premium price tag of some competitors. It’s a sweet spot that has made Aventon hugely popular in Michigan and beyond.

Michigan-Friendly Performance:

Whether you’re commuting in Detroit or hitting trails Up North, Aventon has you covered. All Aventon bikes are Class II e-bikes (meaning they have both pedal assist and throttle up to 20mph) with options to unlock higher speeds (28mph on pedal assist for some models). They’re built tough and even water-resistant for riding in light rain – crucial for Michigan’s unpredictable weather. In short, Aventons are built to handle the same roads, paths, and even snow or sand that Michigan riders do.

Aventon’s Most Popular Models (Great for Michigan)

One reason Aventon is so popular is their versatile lineup. There’s an e-bike for every type of Michigan adventure:
Picture

Aventure (Fat-Tire Off-Road):

The Aventon Aventure is a go-anywhere beast. With its 4-inch fat tires, front suspension, and a 750W motor, the Aventure can conquer dirt trails, sand, or snow with ease. It’s perfect for Michigan beach rides, snowy winter roads, or gravel trails. The latest Aventure.2/3 models even add torque sensors for smoother pedaling and come fully loaded with racks and fenders for adventure ready fun.

Level (Commuter):

The Level is Aventon’s commuter workhorse, ideal for daily rides in cities like Grand Rapids or Ann Arbor. It’s a sleek hybrid-style e-bike with suspension fork to smooth out potholes and an efficient motor for up to 28 MPH assist on those morning commutes. The Level.2 introduced a torque sensor for more natural assist and comes in step-over or step-through frames for comfort. It’s built to make “getting to work on time, and simply having more fun in the saddle” a reality.

Pace (Cruiser):

The Pace series (e.g. Pace 500.3 or new Pace 4) is the casual cruiser lineup – perfect for relaxed rides on neighborhood streets or bike paths. These bikes have upright geometry and cushy seats for comfort, but can still hit 20–28 MPH for zippy fun. The latest Pace 4 is “the next-generation cruiser…combining smart bike technology with comfortable frame geometry to maximize fun on every ride”. In other words, it’s a joyful easy-rider that’s great for everything from downtown Traverse City cruises to Sunday rides on the local rail trail.

Soltera (Lightweight City):

The Soltera is a sleek, light e-bike (single-speed or 7-speed) that’s easy to lift and maneuver – great for apartment-dwellers or students. It foregoes some power for a simpler, lighter design. If you need a zippy campus commuter or a bike to toss on a car rack for a trip, Soltera is a popular entry-level Aventon (and one of the most affordable, around $1,199).

Sinch (Foldable):

For those short on storage or on the go, the Sinch folding e-bike packs a punch. It has fat tires and front suspension like the Aventure, but folds in half to fit in your trunk or RV. Explore the U.P. or downtown Detroit, then stash the bike in a closet or vehicle – perfect for travelers and campers.

Abound (Cargo):

Got errands or kids to carry? The Aventon Abound is a nifty cargo e-bike with a sturdy rear rack and extra long frame. Load it up with groceries or attach a child seat – the Abound’s 750W motor and torque sensor will handle hills even when fully loaded. It’s an awesome car-replacement bike for around town. Michigan families are embracing cargo e-bikes, and the Abound makes it accessible with a starting price around $1,999.

Ramblas (Electric Mountain Bike):

New to Aventon’s lineup, the Ramblas is a true eMTB (electric mountain bike) with a mid-drive motor and trail-ready components. It’s Aventon’s first model aimed at hardcore trail riders – “rugged and reliable, a hardtail all-terrain eMTB with an intelligent mid-drive motor”. With the Ramblas, you can hit Michigan’s singletrack trails or the Potawatomi MTB path with electric assist for the climbs. (Note: Availability may be limited as this model is brand new, but worth keeping an eye on if you’re an avid mountain biker.)

As you can see, Aventon offers something for everyone: from beach cruisers to trail blasters. Now that you know the bikes, let’s talk about buying one – and why going through a local Michigan dealer is your best bet.

Benefits of Buying from Local Dealers (Test Rides & Support)

Picture
While you can buy an Aventon bike online direct, there are big advantages to purchasing through an authorized Michigan dealer (like us at Suttons Bay Bikes!). Here’s why you should consider the dealer route:
​
  • Try Before You Buy: Perhaps the biggest perk – you get to test ride the bike! Nothing beats taking an Aventon for a spin to make sure it fits you and handles like you expect. Authorized shops have demo models available so you can “feel the difference with a free test ride, ensuring the perfect ebike fit”. Whether it’s a quick lap in the parking lot or a trail demo, a test ride will give you confidence in your choice.


  • Expert Guidance: Local shops employ knowledgeable staff (we like to think we’re pretty friendly and expert about e-bikes). We can explain the tech, help you compare models, and make sure you get the right size and accessories. It’s a personalized experience – far better than guessing online. You can ask all your newbie questions and get honest answers in person.


  • Professional Assembly & Tuning: An e-bike is a sophisticated machine. Dealers will assemble and tune your Aventon for you, so you know it’s done right. For example, at Suttons Bay Bikes every eBike purchase comes with “free assembly and a complimentary tune-up during your first year”. This means your bike will be safe, optimized, and ready to enjoy – no fiddling with wrenches in your garage required.


  • After-Sales Service and Warranty Support: If something goes wrong down the road, a local dealer has your back. We can handle warranty claims, repairs, and maintenance. Aventon’s broad dealer network means ebike service is nearby when you need it. You won’t be stuck phoning a call center in who-knows-where – you’ll have real people in Michigan ready to help. Regular tune-ups, software updates, replacing a battery in a couple years – a good dealer makes all that easy.


  • Price Match & Promotions: Worried you’ll miss an online sale? Many Aventon dealers will match Aventon’s website prices or promos. (At Suttons Bay Bikes, for instance, we match all Aventon.com sales and promos!). So you can get the best price and the superior service. No need to chase a web discount at the expense of local support – we ensure you get both.


In short, buying local gives you peace of mind and a better experience with your new e-bike. Now, let’s get specific about where to find these bikes in Michigan.

Where to Buy Aventon Bikes in Michigan

Thanks to Aventon’s popularity, you’ll find dealers throughout the state of Michigan. Here we’ve compiled a list of some of the best places – from our own shop in Northern Michigan to reputable stores in metro areas. (Note: Aventon’s website also has a dealer locator, so you can search by your ZIP code for the closest option. There are dozens of Michigan dealers, but below are some top picks).
Picture

Suttons Bay Bikes (Traverse City / Northern MI) – Our Top Pick!

Suttons Bay Bikes is proud to be Michigan’s premier Aventon dealer, serving the Traverse City and Leelanau County region (and beyond). We keep a wide selection of Aventon models in stock – from the adventurous Aventure to the easygoing Pace – and all available to test ride. We match any Aventon website deals on price, so you’ll get the best value.

More importantly, our team
lives and breathes cycling and will treat you like family. We’ll help you find the right Aventon model, set it up for you, and make sure you’re comfortable and confident. Our beautiful location in Suttons Bay even gives you the chance to test ride on the scenic Leelanau Trail right outside our door! Whether you’re local to Traverse City or making a special trip up north, we’ve got an Aventon waiting for you to try. (Give us a call – we might even be able to arrange a demo ride on one of our guided tours or rentals so you can really experience the bike before buying.)
​

Why Suttons Bay Bikes the #1 Michigan Aventon Dealer: We combine that friendly small-town service with expert knowledge of e-bikes. Our staff has been selling and servicing Aventon bikes for years – we know the ins and outs. Plus, we offer full repair and maintenance services for all e-bikes we sell, so we’ll be here for you long after the sale. It’s no wonder many riders say we’re worth the drive from anywhere in Michigan.

Other Michigan Aventon Dealers (By Region):

While Suttons Bay Bikes would love to serve every Michigan rider, we know geography isn’t always on your side. Luckily, there are great Aventon dealers spread across the state. Here are some notable ones for various regions.
Picture

Metro Detroit Area:

Several Aventon dealers operate in the greater Detroit region. Macomb Bike & Fitness in Warren is a long-standing family-owned shop (since 1974) that carries a full range of Aventon e-bikes (they had 14 different Aventon models listed at last count!).

In the western suburbs,
Jack’s Bicycle & Fitness (with locations in Dearborn and Monroe) is another major dealer – they heavily promote Aventon as a top brand. Also, check out JC Wakes eBike Warehouse in Clawson, which is Metro Detroit’s first all-eBike specialty store. They stock Aventon among other brands and focus exclusively on electric bikes, offering knowledgeable staff and even free test rides and tune-ups as mentioned earlier.

​Essentially, if you’re in Southeast Michigan, you have options – just avoid the big-box sporting goods stores and go to one of these e-bike experts for the best experience.
Picture

West Michigan (Grand Rapids area):

The Grand Rapids region has at least one excellent Aventon dealer: Freewheeler Bike Shop in Grand Rapids. Freewheeler is a well-established local shop that carries Aventon (for example, they stock the Aventon Aventure.2 among other models).

​They’ve been serving GR cyclists for decades. Stop by their Leonard St. store to see Aventon bikes in person and get advice from their experienced team. (If you’re closer to the Lakeshore/Muskegon, call around to nearby bike shops – Aventon’s popularity means other shops in West Michigan may also be dealers or can order bikes for you.)
Picture

Mid-Michigan (Lansing/Jackson):

In the Lansing area, Denny’s Central Park Bicycles in Okemos is a go-to Aventon dealer. They are a third-generation family bike shop and notably “match all Aventon.com e-bike prices” just like we do, which is great for getting a deal.

​Lansing proper also has
Greenway Bikehouse, a newer shop focusing on e-bikes; they carry Aventon models like the Pace, Soltera, and more. If you’re around Jackson or mid-state, check if any local shops are listed as Aventon dealers – the network is growing fast.
Picture

Southwest Michigan (Kalamazoo/Battle Creek):

Pedal Bicycle in Kalamazoo is an authorized Aventon dealer, offering the brand alongside many others. Pedal has two locations in Kalamazoo and Portage. They even advertise Aventon’s lineup on their website with descriptions like “Aventon is dedicated to inspiring adventures… offering several Class 2 e-bikes to help you ride your errands, get to work on time, and have more fun”. If you’re in the Kalamazoo or Battle Creek region, Pedal is definitely worth a visit for an Aventon test ride.
Picture

Upper Peninsula:

Yes, you can even find Aventon bikes in the U.P.! Love and Bicycles (LAB) in Negaunee (near Marquette) is the premier e-bike shop up north, and as of 2024 they are a stocking dealer for Aventon.

​They usually have a selection of Aventon models available
“for you to try before you buy”, and they sell at the same prices you’d find online. This is a fantastic resource for our Upper Peninsula friends – no need to drive hours south to get your hands on an Aventon. LAB can also assemble and service your e-bike locally, a big plus for U.P. riders.

(Other regions: If we didn’t mention your area, don’t worry – just use Aventon’s dealer locator tool. There are shops carrying Aventon in places like Ann Arbor, Flint/Saginaw, Northern Michigan, etc. For example, smaller dealers in towns from Traverse City (that’s us!) to Houghton are out there ready to help. Aventon’s presence in Michigan is growing all the time.)
