Aventon Pace 5 REC review: A powerful 750W cruiser with excellent range, smart security features, and highly refined ride quality.
The Pace 5’s programming and power delivery are a perfect pairing; the bike has ample power but dishes it out effectively and responsively, making pedaling easy without feeling scary.
Its theft prevention features are top-notch, offering riders peace of mind through integrated wheel and battery locks, a motion detection and alarm system, GPS location tracking, and more.
Aventon built in loads of customization options available through the Aventon app, including motor tuning, torque and cadence sensing modes, granular speed adjustment, and more.
Handling feels well-balanced between relaxed and sharp; the city cruiser design and handlebars pair well with the lively motor and rigid fork.
Its performance was great, with above-average results in nearly all areas of our testing.
The bike is generally well-equipped for its price, with integrated lights and turn signals, a color display, and even an optional regenerative braking feature with two modes.
It’s tough to deny the bike’s sharp looks and big personality. Aventon’s choice of five color options ensures a bike for just about everyone.
While it was designed with a focus on comfort and largely pulls that off, an included suspension seatpost would complete its vision.
The frame design can result in a loose chain getting jammed. The throttle can get you home, but having a spare chain might be a good idea.

Is the Aventon Pace 5 REC worth $1,799? We tested the motor, range, components, and app so you don't have to. Full review with ratings, specs, and real-world results.
Return to swept-back Dutch-style handlebars and comfort-focused geometry
750W motor (peak 1440W) with smooth torque sensor
Excellent handling for a cruiser - nimble, stiff frame, no wobble
733Wh battery with LG cells, UL 2271 certified
Regenerative braking adds 5-6 miles range
Full ACU suite: 4G/GPS tracking, e-lock, geo-fencing, motion alerts, Apple Watch integration
Ride Tune app allows custom motor output per assist level
Gravity-cast frame, clean cable routing, name-brand components
Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors
Good value at $1,799
No suspension seat post included (surprising for a comfort cruiser)
Firm tire compound reduces braking grip slightly
Only two frame sizes (R and L), no high-step option
Adjustable stem could allow higher handlebar position
Shimano Altus 8-speed drivetrain is entry-level, could use wider gear range
The Aventon Pace 5 REC returns to the comfort-first cruiser geometry that made the original Pace series so popular, pairing swept-back handlebars and a step-through frame with a powerful 750W motor (peaking at 1,440W in Boost Mode) that makes this one of the punchiest lightweight cruisers on the market today.
At around 60 lbs with the battery installed, the Pace 5 REC is lighter than most of Aventon's other models, and that lighter weight combines with the upgraded motor to create a riding experience that feels incredibly responsive, peppy, and fun - yet still very smooth and controlled even at full power output.
The Pace 5 REC doesn't include a suspension seat post - a minor but notable omission given that Aventon has included one on most of their other bikes in recent years - though the bike more than makes up for it with an impressive tech package that includes the Aventon ACU, 4G/GPS connectivity, regenerative braking, Apple Watch compatibility, and over-the-air firmware updates, all for $1,799.
In real-world range testing, the Pace 5 REC delivered nearly 50 miles in Turbo mode - an impressive result - and the 733Wh battery with regenerative braking makes this one of the more efficient cruisers in its class, with a manufacturer-claimed range of up to 75 miles in Eco. See Latest Price

The Ramblas ADV is a blast on the trails, but it isn't so aggressive that it feels clunky on bike paths or around the neighborhood. While most electric...
