Electric Bike Report
Aventon Level.2 E-Bike Review | Read BEFORE Buying – Electric Bike Report

Jan 2025 · Griffin Hales

If you’ve followed Aventon over the years you’ve likely noticed how its evolved in the e-bike space. Its e-bike lineup has held some crowd-pleasing favorites, and they’ve added even more diverse offerings to it, but over the last 18 months or so we’ve really seen refinement from Aventon’s e-bikes. That focus on refinement is what

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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.
