Soltera.2: 36 Times 9.6 Is 345.6

The Soltera.2 is the older Aventon city bike, not the Soltera 3 ADV. A Canadian spec list prints 36 volts and 9.6 amp-hours, 345.6 watt-hours, LG cells, and 46 pounds. Thirty-six times 9.6 is 345.6. The range band is 30 to 46 miles. Forty-six miles on 345.6 watt-hours is 7.5 watt-hours a mile. The same list says a 27.5-inch wheel and a 700c tire. Those are not the same wheel. Electrek’s November price is $1,199. This desk did not ride it.

The short answer

The Soltera.2 is the older Aventon city bike, not the Soltera 3 ADV. A dealer prints 36 volts and 9.6 amp-hours, which is 345.6 watt-hours. Range is 30 to 46 miles, so 7.5 to 11.5 watt-hours a mile. The same list says a 27.5-inch wheel and a 700c tire. Electrek’s price is $1,199. No throttle was printed.

Electrek’s 8 November list still names the Aventon Soltera.2 at $1,199. Aventon’s own US cart this desk uses for the current city bike is the Soltera 3 ADV, which is a different model. The Soltera.2 numbers here are from a Canadian dealer list and from 99 Spokes’ 2024 card, not from a live aventon.com product page. The dealer prints 36 volts, 9.6 amp-hours, and 345.6 watt-hours, LG cells. Thirty-six times 9.6 is 345.6. That line matches. The motor is a 350-watt, 36-volt rear hub. Top speed is 20 mph. The range band is 30 to 46 miles. Three hundred forty-five point six divided by 46 is 7.5 watt-hours a mile. Divided by 30 it is 11.5. The range page is why the wide end of that band is a claim.

Two secondary cards. The wheel and the fork do not agree. The watt-hours do.

Dealer photograph. Thirty-six times 9.6 is 345.6 watt-hours. Forty-six pounds is 20.9 kilograms, not the 21 the same list also prints.

46 pounds is not 21 kilograms

Forty-six divided by 2.205 is 20.9 kilograms. The dealer wrote 21 kg next to 46 lb. That is a rounding, not a second bike. A junk catalogue that this desk also opened printed 70.1 pounds for the same model. Seventy point one is 31.8 kilograms, and it does not match either card that prints 46. This desk is not using 70.1. The load on the dealer list is 300 pounds. Brakes are Tektro mechanical discs with 180 mm rotors. Gears are a 7-speed, 14-28. Neither card this desk opened prints a throttle. Three hundred fifty watts is under 750, and 20 mph is the Class 1 and Class 2 cap. Without a throttle sentence, this desk will not award a class. The class chart is the test when a throttle line shows up.

A 27.5-inch wheel and a 700c tire cannot both be the rolling diameter.

700c is not 27.5

The same dealer bullet says the wheel size is 27.5 inch and the tire is 700c by 38c Kenda. Seven hundred c is a 622 mm bead. A 27.5 is a 584 mm bead. 99 Spokes prints 700c and a rigid aluminum fork. The dealer calls the fork front suspension. One of those fork sentences is wrong, and this desk did not have the bike in a stand to see which. The newer Soltera 3 ADV is the bike Aventon is selling as the light city model now. Do not shop the 345.6 watt-hour pack as if it were that bike. No public measured loop of the Soltera.2 turned up in this pass. This desk did not ride it.
