I looked into doing exactly what you want to do. The motor has an L1019 connector on the Aventure. Rewiring that and all the other connectors to fit the KT was more than what I wanted to dig into. Of course it can be done, but that's beyond my interest or expertise at this time. Grin Tech...

So Aventon has the Aventure charger in stock? Their parts page shows the Aventure charger is available, but the picture shows a charger with a barrel connector that I believe is for the Level. I sent an email 2-3 weeks ago asking for clarification before ordering but they haven't replied. I...

In the past and currently, Aventon has shown a charger with the barrel connector for the Aventure. I contacted them via phone (when they were still taking calls 10 months ago) and they said the picture on the website is incorrect for the Aventure. It does not have a barrel connector even...

Unfortunately, the charger referenced on Alibaba does not have the same ST3 connector as the Aventure. It is close, but no cigar. I ordered an XLR adapter for the Cycle Satiator from Grin with that exact ST3 connector and it doesn't fit. Aventon have a proprietary connector on the charger and...

Well, I missed the picture of how Tom@WashDC mounted the controller on the Aventure. For an external mount, it doesn't look bad. It's definitely worth considering. Also the Bolton/Area 13 looks interesting. Thanks all for the information. I didn't notice, but how are the headlight and tail...

It fits inside the frame of the Aventure and has similar connectors? Do you have a picture or link?

After extensive digging, I believe the Aventure controller is made by Aikema. Here is a link (https://www.aikema.com.cn/en/product/product-36-19.html) to what I believe is the equivalent Aventure controller. It is rated at 18A according to the website. For comparison, attached is a picture of...

Can anyone recommend a good source for the KT 22A controller and display?

OK, the next step in this consideration is to get inside the frame and see what the controller connectors look like and its dimensions. Then I will investigate what KT has that matches best. Thanks for the information.

I have read some of your posts about the poor quality controllers on these bikes but really don't know where to begin when it comes to finding a controller that might fit inside the frame (is that even possible?) and is a good match for the battery and Bafang hub motor on this bike. Yes, I hear...

Yes, I got a charger with the bike when I ordered directly from Aventon last May. Since I have the Cycle Satiator for another ebike, I wanted to adapt it to the Aventure. I always plan ahead and look for how to replace items that are out of warranty. Also, my neighbor is a hunter and is...

I now feel foolish after my brother and a good friend bought the Aventure based on my recommendation. On the other hand I can't take responsibility for business decisions Aventon makes that no one could have foreseen. I am beyond disappointed with them. If you do change the display and...

Are you saying the battery will charge if it is fitted with a female barrel fitting that doesn't have a sensing or handshake terminal? Were you able to make this work? Another member has stated that the battery won't charge without the handshake from the charger. See this thread Charging...

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like the Aventure charger and the battery must communicate via handshake in order to charge the battery. If that is the case, owners are hogtied for the life of the bike by Aventon when it comes to a battery and charger unless a battery of equal size case (that...

Thanks for digging into this, Daveo111. I don't blame you for dumping Aventon. Dealing with them has always been frustrating, infuriating. Shortly after buying the Aventure in May of 2021, I contacted them by phone (when you could still do this) and asked if I could have a failed charger for...
