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
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.
