Sleek style and a slew of features that boost power, range, comfort, and security set this do-everything e-bike commuter apart

The Level 3 ST is an accessible version of Aventon’s sporty, responsive, and high-tech long-range commuter. When you need a reliable method of getting to your daily destination, commuter e-bikes are the way to go. They’re typically well-equipped for all conditions with lights, fenders, and durable street tires. Most have high-capacity batteries to cover long
The Level 3 ST pedals like a more fun version of a non-electric bike thanks to its responsive 500W motor and torque sensor.
Aventon’s ACU module gives users access to a host of security features. These include an alarm system, a wheel and battery lock, 4G-enabled location tracking, geofencing, and more!
The ST version of the bike shares the same great handling and sturdiness of the high-step model, with an easier-to-mount frame. Its standover height is 17.4 inches.
The Ride Tune feature in the Aventon app enables users to customize the bike’s power and sensitivity, allowing them to fine-tune its feel and performance.
The bike rides smoothly, thanks to its suspension fork with 80mm of travel and suspension seatpost with 50mm of travel.
Our testing showed that the Level 3 is well-suited for long commutes, with the ability to exceed Aventon’s advertised range of 70 miles on a single charge.
It comes equipped with essentials such as lights, turn signals, fenders, and a cargo rack with a 59.5-lb capacity.
The ST version is suitable for riders of various heights ranging from 4’11” to 6’1”. Its fit and riding position can be altered through the adjustable stem.
The gravity-cast frame looks great and feels impressively stiff for a step-thru. It comes in two sharp colors.
The bike’s brakes performed well in our testing, but its flexible plastic brake levers felt less sturdy than we’d hoped.
As a bike made to share the road with motorists and other cyclists, we’d have preferred tail lights that functioned as brake lights.

Aventon Level.3 ST review: 70-mile range, 4G security, stiff frame, and smooth torque sensor make this 2025 commuter e-bike a solid pick.
With 4G-powered GPS, geofencing, and an electronic wheel lock, this bike’s equipped to tackle urban theft concerns—complete with an alarm that sounds if someone tampers with it. It might be more than needed in a quiet suburb, but for city riders parking in busy areas, it’s a practical safety feature.
Aventon’s new “gravity-cast” frame—a term for its reinforced aluminum design—stays stiff and responsive, avoiding the flex some step-through frames suffer from. Beyond the ride quality, its cleaner lines and matte colors add a refined look without overdoing it.
The Level.3’s torque sensor stands out—it adjusts assist based on your pedaling effort smoothly, unlike older cadence sensors that deliver power in a less refined way. It’s efficient and intuitive, making city rides feel seamless rather than a struggle against the motor.
Aventon claims 70 miles of range, and I managed about 75 on low assist in real-world testing—though it dropped to 40 when using max power on hills. It’s reliable for commutes or a longer weekend ride, but don’t count on stretching it too far if you’re pushing the motor hard all the time. See Latest Price
