Summary
The Aventon Pace series is praised for its comfortable, upright riding position and efficient performance, making it ideal for urban commuting and casual rides. Key upgrades include a torque sensor for a more natural ride feel, integrated safety features like turn signals, and a range that can exceed 70 miles. While it offers great handling and a lightweight design, some reviews note issues with rear wheel locking during hard braking and visibility of the LCD screen in sunlight.

Making a Great Bike Ride Even Better by Adding Torque Sensor and Improving Safety Aventon’s new Pace 500.3 Step-Through (ST) is proof that a great bike can become even better. In our review of the previous generation we found plenty to love: impressive power, great range, and exceptional riding comfort. The Pace series has won
A joyful, casual pedaling experience. The new torque sensor makes it the best feeling Pace 500 yet.
Better low end power and overall power range with new 4 level PAS (Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo modes) replacing old PAS 1-5
Greater energy efficiency from the new torque sensor and battery management system, extends range of up to 67 miles.
More effective pedaling with the new 48-tooth crankset replacing the old 46-tooth crankset.
Better road traction and handling with the new, thinner 27.5” x 2.1” tires.
Adding turn signals is great for convenience and safety on the road.
The 19″ stand over height makes this easily managed for shorter and taller riders alike (plus the multiple frame sizes).
Easier to lift this 52 lb e-bike into a rack than comparable models.
Great handling and overall ride quality make it a capable cruiser or commuter or city bike. However, those wanting fenders and a rack for commuting will have to add them after checkout.
