Lectric XPedition 2 vs Aventon Abound SR
A longtail with three battery carts, from $1,399, and a class menu. A short Class 2 cargo bike the shops print at $1,899. Both say up to 60 miles. That is not one ride.
By SickEBike desk
The short answer
The Lectric XPedition 2 is a longtail: $1,399 and 624Wh, $1,799 and 1,248Wh, or $1,999 for the long-range pair. It prints Class 1, 2, or 3. The Aventon Abound SR is the short cargo bike. Shops print $1,899. Aventon prints Class 2, 733Wh, and a 1,188W peak. Rider Guide prints 708Wh and 950W. Thirty-six times 20 is 720. Both say up to 60 miles. That is not one ride.
The Lectric XPedition 2 and the Aventon Abound SR are both cargo bikes with a rear hub, pedals, and a throttle. They are not the same length and they are not the same class. Lectric’s collection page shows a single-battery longtail at $1,399, a dual 13-amp-hour bike at $1,799, and a long-range pair at $1,999. The Abound SR is the short one. Rider Guide’s price check on 24 September 2026, plus Sports Basement and Bentgate, print $1,899. Aventon’s own spec block, on the read this desk already published, did not return a dollar. This is those sheets. It is not a SickEBike dyno day. The XPedition guide and the Abound SR guide are the long versions. The Abound LR is a third bike.

| Lectric XPedition 2 | Aventon Abound SR | |
|---|---|---|
| Street price | $1,399 / $1,799 / $1,999. EBR priced the middle cart at $1,699. | $1,899 at Rider Guide, Sports Basement, and Bentgate. Aventon’s spec block had no dollar. |
| Shape | Longtail. Three battery carts. | Short, step-through, one size. Rider height 4 ft 11 in to 6 ft 3 in. Not the LR. |
| Motor | 750W rear hub, 1,310W peak, 85 Nm, torque sensor. | Aventon: 750W hub, 1,188W peak, 80 Nm, torque sensor. Rider Guide: 950W peak, still 80 Nm. |
| Pack | One 48V 13Ah is 624Wh. Two are 1,248Wh. Long-range: 48×17.5 is 840, and two of those are 1,680. | 36V 20Ah. Aventon prints 733Wh. Rider Guide and Sports Basement print 708Wh. 36×20 is 720. |

| Claimed range | Up to 60, 120, or 170 miles, depending on the cart. The 13Ah dual page also footnotes 170. | Up to 60 miles. No rider weight on that block. |
| Named test | EBR, one 840Wh pack: 68 mi in PAS 1, 38 mi in PAS 5. Rider 175 lb, mostly flat. | None on the sheets this comparison uses. Do not borrow the Lectric miles. |

The 60-mile line is not a shared test
Both brands print “up to 60 miles” on the small setup. Lectric’s 60 is one 48-volt 13-amp-hour pack, 624 watt-hours. Aventon’s 60 is a 36-volt 20-amp-hour pack that the table labels 733 and the ridefinder labels 708. Thirty-six times 20 is 720. None of those watt-hours is 624. A matching mile claim on two different tanks is a slogan. It is not a photo finish.
The only camera loop in this pair is Lectric’s, and it is not the 624 pack. Electric Bike Report rode one 840 watt-hour long-range pack: 68 miles in PAS 1 and 38 miles in PAS 5, rider 175 pounds, mostly flat, few stops. Eight hundred forty divided by 68 is about 12.4 watt-hours a mile. Eight hundred forty divided by 38 is about 22.1. The review then extrapolates a second pack to about 136 and 76, and the summary card prints 138 and 78. Lectric’s long-range claim is 170. Do not average 68, 136, and 170. Do not give any of those miles to the Abound. The SR has no named loop on the sheets this desk is using. The watt-hour page is the unit. It is not permission to blend the bikes.
Sixty miles on both pages is two claims. It is not one ride.
Class 2, or a menu that includes 28
Aventon’s speed row says Class 2. Rider Guide says 20 mph. This desk did not find a 28 mph line on the SR sheets. Lectric prints Class 1, 2, or 3 on every XPedition 2 page this desk read, next to a 750-watt nominal and a 1,310-watt peak. Class 3 is 28 mph of pedal assist. A menu is not a sticker you ignore because both bikes have a throttle and a hub. The class chart is why a bike that can be set to 28 is a different shopping problem from a bike whose sheets stop at 20.
The peaks are a second fight, and they stay on their own bikes. Aventon prints 1,188 watts. Rider Guide prints 950. Lectric prints 1,310. All three sit next to a 750-watt nominal. Torque is 80 Nm on the SR sheets and 85 Nm on the Lectric pages. Both numbers are at a hub. Neither one is a mid-drive. The hub page is why a full rack does not get a climb gear to multiply that twist.
What you are allowed to put on it
The SR’s total is 440 pounds, rider included, and the carry line is one passenger. Eighty pounds is the bike on Aventon’s table. The XPedition’s cap is 450. The same page also prints a 330-pound rider, a 30-pound front basket, and a 300-pound rear rack. Three hundred thirty plus 30 plus 300 is 660. The page already told you to stop at 450. Adding the three lines is how you overload it. Sixty-five pounds with the batteries out, plus 9 pounds a pack, is Lectric’s weight sentence. Sixty-five plus nine is 74. Sixty-five plus 18 is 83. That addition is this desk’s arithmetic. Aventon’s 80 is a printed bike weight that does not say the pack is out. Do not call 74 and 80 a weigh-off.
Both print UL 2849 on the bike and UL 2271 on the pack. That is the certification row, not a range. The Lectric dual page this desk saw carries a one-year warranty line. The SR sheets in the Abound guide did not hand this comparison a warranty sentence, so this page will not invent one. Wheels: Lectric prints 20×2.5. The SR ridefinder prints 20-inch, and a component table prints 20×3.0. A 99 Spokes summary line also says 26. Use the table that matches the tire in the shop. Brakes are hydraulic on both. The SR sheet splits the rotors, 180 mm front and 203 mm rear. Lectric prints 180 mm.
Who should buy which
Buy the Abound SR if you want the short bike, one passenger, Class 2 on the sheets, and the $1,899 the September shops print. Buy it knowing 733 and 708 are both on pages that also say 36 volts and 20 amp-hours, and that 720 is the product, not a third label. Skip it if you needed a longtail, a second battery cart, or a Class 3 setting. The LR is longer and still not this Lectric.
Buy the XPedition 2 if the job is a longtail and you will name the cart before you name the bike. The $1,399 bike is 624 watt-hours. The $1,799 bike is two of those. The $1,999 bike is the pair of 840s, even when a parenthesis writes 1,680 next to 17.5 amp-hours. Skip it if you needed a bike that cannot be switched to 28, or if you were going to add the rider, the basket, and the rack and call 660 the limit. Four hundred fifty is the limit. The cargo page is the Tern and the Fetch, which are a different payload again.
Questions people ask
Is the Lectric XPedition 2 or the Aventon Abound SR cheaper?+

The XPedition 2 pages print Class 1, 2, or 3. Class 3 is 28 mph of pedal assist. The Abound SR spec table says Class 2, and the ridefinder says 20 mph. This desk did not find a 28 mph line on the SR sheets.
