An Aventon Naro with a belt and automatic gears
The Naro is built around the Ultro-L, the mid-drive motor developed by Aventon. According to VeloTOTAL, it weighs 1.95 kg and delivers 70 Nm of torque. There is no chain: according to VeloTOTAL, the brand fits a Dayco carbon belt, linked to a five-speed Shimano Nexus hub with electronic, automatic gear shifting. The fork offers 60 mm of travel and the seatpost 40 mm, reports Nimms-Rad.
GPS, alarm and integrated lock
The bike focuses on theft protection. VeloTOTAL lists a GPS tracker, geofencing, a motion sensor with an alarm and a 3-inch colour display protected by a password. If suspicious movement is detected, the owner receives a notification on their smartphone through the Aventon MyRide app. A rear wheel lock is fixed to the frame, and the 600 Wh battery comes out without a key, through the top of the down tube.
The Naro comes in three colours: Stealth, Polar and Haze, a purple. For the German market, Nimms-Rad gives a recommended retail price of €2,599 and a weight of 25.9 kg.
