Aventon

Aventon is a consumer electric bicycle (e-bike) manufacturer headquartered in Brea, California. Founded in 2012 and originally known for fixed-gear and track bikes, the company pivoted to electric bikes and is now one of the larger direct-to-consumer e-bike brands in the United States, with a lineup that spans commuter, fat-tire, lightweight, folding, cargo, and mountain e-bikes sold online and through a dealer network. Aventon operates no traditional public developer API of its own, but its Shopify-powered storefront at aventon.com natively exposes agent-facing commerce surfaces: a published /llms.txt, Shopify Customer Account OpenID Connect discovery, and a live Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) MCP endpoint for agent-driven catalog search, cart, and checkout.

Aventon publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Electric Bikes, E-Commerce, and Retail.

Aventon’s developer surface includes authentication and 9 more developer resources.
