2024 Aventon

Pace 4 Step Through

New for 2025, Aventon has ditched the high-step frame offering sticking solely to a Step-Through frame, and they dropped the ‘500’ from the Pace name of the very popular cruiser.

Also dropped was the last-generations 48V e-system in a move to 36V system shared in its Level.3 and Abound siblings, making spare batteries, motors and controllers shareable between the bikes.

Advertised with a range of up to 70 miles, I was able to eke out 71 miles in MIN pedal assist, and 44 miles in MAX range testing. This is not only an increase of 10 miles in range, but a pretty substantial range for any e-bike owner regardless of use from several quick trips to even longer adventures, all on one charge.

The 500W motor puts out up to 864W’s of peaking power, 60 Nm of torque and with Aventon's improved dual-sided torque sensor, the pedal assist is very quiet, and more importantly, very smooth. See Latest Price

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.
