Pick the geometry, not the logo
If your rides are mixed paths and errands with cargo, RadRover / RadRunner-class wins. If your rides are bike-lane pavement in clothes you also wear at work, Aventon Level-class wins. Brand loyalty is how people buy the wrong shape.
Parts and listings
Both brands show up on amazon.com with overlapping third-party sellers. Match the exact model name. “Rad” and “Aventon” in a title are not enough — batteries and years get mixed.

Before you buy
Questions people actually ask.
Is Rad Power better than Aventon?
For fat-tire and utility, Rad-class. For a clean commuter, Aventon-class. Neither is “better” as a company if the shape is wrong for the ride.
Which is cheaper?
Street prices move. Compare the live amazon.com listings for the exact model, then add the rack/fender kit you still need.
