Hey, I just found this post because I am trying to source some pads for my Aventon Aventure.URL]
The Zoom brakes that came with my Aventure take the same pads as a Shimano Deore.
These were a perfect fit.
Amazon.com : 4 Pairs Organic Resin Bike Bicycle Disc Brake Pads for Shimano Deore XT M765 M775 M776 XTR M965 M966 M975 LX M585 T665 SLX M665 M535 M595 M596 Hone M601 S500 S501 Saint M800 M545 R505 T605 : Sports & Outdoors

That they give you new cotter pins got a big thumbs up from me given how Aventon (or their OEM) chopped the crap out of the legs making it harder to remove them.
@Themac -- great job modding those pads to fit! I hate when companies go all off on their own tangent cause when they invariably go bits-up, or just "change their minds" and stop making parts for older bikes. Maybe you should get into making those in small batches for others if indeed the supply chain has dried up.
But then I bet in the case of companies like Zoom that Shimano hates how everyone just copies what they do. Even if it means they (and SRAM) by default are setting the standards. That I don't have to go to Shimano for replacement parts is a plus, even if they disagree.
Also "loving" how you can't even order the same bike twice in a row and get the same parts. I mean, I know we're in a parts shortage right now, but c'mon!
-- edit -- also if you have the "zoom" brakes Aventon's been putting on the Aventure the past year, and are looking for parts? Zoom calls themselves "Bucklos" on Amazon.
This is pretty much the same kits they use, just without the hall effect sensor in the handles for the motor cutoff.
Wish to hell I could find the e-bike kit equivalent. Just because I like having spares, and could now use a spare hall sensor since apparently e-bike builders don't believe in strain reliefs.
