2024 Aventon

Level.2 Commuter

The new torque sensor is a fundamentally different experience: the Level 2 has a much more natural bike riding feel compared to its predecessor

The torque sensor also helped improve battery life while keeping the same 500W motor / 672 Wh battery combo as the previous level

While we liked the Zoom brakes we tested on past Level models, we’re happy to see Tektro hydraulic brakes as they are reliable performers that are easier to get serviced

We loved the look of the blue Aventon Level 2 we reviewed, but we think all 4 color options (white, pink, blue, clay) hold a lot of visual appeal compared to the previous gray color

The 8-speed Shimano Acera drivetrain is as responsive as ever and provides adequate gearing for going up or down hills

The color display is easy to read, and the downloadable Aventon app pairs with it nicely to enhance your overall experience

All the contact points are performance-oriented enough for a serious commuter, while comfortable enough to warrant spending over an hour in the saddle

We’re fans of the torque-sensor, especially at lower PAS levels, but it does mean that higher PAS levels feel a tad tame for the high speed loving crowds.

Aventon prioritized battery life on the Level 2 which resulted in the bike riding not quite as hard on throttle to help preserve the battery.
