Too often, “smart” technology adds layers of complication. We’ve all dealt with gadgets that claim to be intuitive but actually make simple tasks painful. That’s exactly the opposite of what Aventon achieves with its Aventon Control Unit (ACU), an advanced onboard system designed to elevate your ebike experience without unnecessary complexity.
With more Aventon bikes incorporating this technology, it’s worth exploring how these smart features streamline security, control, and performance without interfering with the ride itself.
Security That Gives You Peace of Mind
Bike theft is real and traditional locks only go so far. The ACU makes security even tougher with a remote locking system and built-in rear-wheel lock. But what if someone does try? GPS tracking keeps tabs on your bike whether it’s safely parked or unexpectedly in motion.
For cargo bike riders, the center-locking kickstand provides another level of security. If someone tries to lift the bike, it stays locked in place until you decide otherwise. Plus, the ACU’s unusual activity detection alerts you via the Aventon app if something seems off.

Effortless Control, Maximum Convenience

Smart features should simplify your experience, not complicate it. You define where your bike can and cannot be ridden with the ACU’s geofencing feature. If it leaves a designated area, pedal assist and throttle power are automatically disabled – great for lending your bike out or ensuring it stays where it belongs.
Another practical feature? Keyless battery access. No more searching for the spare set of keys, just unlock and remove the battery using the bike display or the Aventon app. A small but meaningful upgrade that makes everyday use even easier.

A Ride That Adapts to You
The ACU isn’t just about security – it’s about optimizing performance. The Ride Tune feature let’s you adjust power delivery for a quieter, more comfortable ride with more battery range without losing the power you need for commutes, hills, or long weekend rides.
On the Level 3 commuter ebike, these improvements translate to an additional 10 miles of range compared to its predecessor – all without sacrificing power. The adjustable stem ensures a custom fit for comfort, while front suspension absorbs bumps for a smooth ride. It’s a bike designed to work for you, not against you.

The Future of Smart Ebikes—Simplified
Aventon’s ACU doesn’t just add technology for technology’s sake. It’s about smart features that improve security, convenience, and performance. Whether you’re commuting, hauling cargo, or just enjoying a ride, the ACU keeps your bike protected, connected, and optimized for every journey.
This is more than an innovative step forward, it’s a redefinition of what smart biking should be. With Aventon leading the charge, the future of ebikes isn’t just connected, it’s effortless.
