Thank you for helping me decide on Pace

Awesome review! But G-FORCE RS fits my family needs better. The integrated rack is a lifesaver for parents like me!

You need both bikes to do this comparison. You compare saddles, seating positions, etc. Without both bikes I have to “imagine” the differences. Also one is 500 watt and one is 750 watt motor. Was this considered in your decision?

Came here for the flip hint. Thank you!

does the frame type change the body position when you are riding? because it seems to that it is easier to keep a straight back position when riding the low step bike than it is with a high step? it also seems to me that in a low step, the handle bars are usually higher than in the other type? thing which allow sitting up straight. is this true? Thanks for the video.. very helpful

2 seconds in: ALRIGHT you've convinced me

😂😂😂

Throttle on the left is interesting. I have the EP-2 Pro.

What a great video. Detailed explanation including the shim needed to adjust the seat post to spec. Well done. I have an AGS brand slightly different in design also sold by Aventon and it works exactly the same way. Thank you for making this video. Couldn't find another even from the manufacturer to help and in instructions that come with the post are useless unless you are into pain. Worked for me. Muchas gracias!

Thanks for the How-To. I just ordered this post earlier today and was wondering about installation. You broke it down perfectly for me. I bought the 30.9mm but that's because I ordered before I saw your video, otherwise I would have ordered the shim and the other size post. Looking forward to trying this out on our (my wife and I each have one) Pace 500.3. Excellent tutorial!

Fantastic video. Without it, I'd have been working on this for hours. With your video, installation was a snap. Thanks very much!

i have a 500.0 now u cant give them away but i love my srep thru and i love it and my bike shop in a 10 mile range there is 30 of them

Is buying a demo model with a few hundred km on it but saving hundreds dollars a good idea?

Nelson Can you please share the link for the seat post and the shim?

Great presentation! Your video clip convinced me to purchase an SR Suntour SP12 NCX Suspension Seatpost (27.2x350mm) for my Giant Roam E+ e-bike. I just returned from a ride with the new addition, and my “rear end” appreciated it and said thank you 😊!

Thanks so much for the height difference piece! Been trying to find that exact info.. I have a level 2 L and I’m on the shorter side so an extra 3 inches is perfect.

That great video wasn't long enough😉😂🤣

Thanks! Very comprehensive

i would love that one , but i cant find one for a 30.4

Bought the level.2 for my wife, raised and changed the handle bars to swept back style. Also switched out the seat to a Cloud 9. So now it’s sort of a pace/level bike with a slightly better derailleur and front suspension. With these mods, my wife LOVES her bike. Plus it’s pink!

Hi. Thanks for the video. I had a question about loading the baby. Would I need a bike with a kick stand to load the baby onto the seat? I’m thinking of buying one of these for a canyon grail and was thinking if it would be hard balancing the baby and the bike at the same time

Video is way too long.

Suntour give a preload measurement in the instructions if you read them

Will the step through also have 30.1? When I checked just now the 30.1 is cheaper

Unfortunately this doesn’t fit with my default Aventon Soltera 2 seat. The bar on the seat is a hair too wide.

How much is the electric 3.0

Question: behind where the two pieces of metal are fixed with screws. In my bike frame which is oval shaped, the two lower screws are not able to make the u shaped bridge, come close to the tube. Do you think is wrong?

So am I correct in thinking that this will add about 3 inches to the seat height, making it no suitable for a short person like me? Right now with the OEM seat, it's properly set at the lowest position...

I just bought a Level 2 step over. I'm 67 and should have bought a step through. Its difficult for me to get on.

I am clipping my heels on the tire guard on mine but can't move it up on the frame any higher or any further back. Is that just a bike design feature I have to deal with?

hello. how old is your baby in this video? my baby is ten months. and i don't know should i buy "thule mini" or "maxi". Is this "maxi frame" safe for a child under one year old? thank you 🌷

When I was your age I could have lifted like you do. Now that I’m 70, a little weaker, and lots more arthritis, not an option for me anymore. ☹️

Thanks for showing how to adjust the seat angle, which also affects comfort. Helpful video.

If you just using it to commute step through style...everytime. If you plan to take it off road on bike trails having the light weight + strength in one bike step over style is the way to go.

Did the bike fit comfortably in the back of your Subaru xv or was it very tight? I have a Subaru xv but was not sure the bike would fit in?

Especially for older riders or those with some issues - with hands, wrists, neck or back, the comfort bike geometry can improve comfort while riding significantly. The Pace 500.3 has those high, swept-back handlebars to address the above, plus the step-though model has a generous space to swing your leg through while mounting for those with limited range of motion or balance problems. I also added a Specialized comfort bike saddle and a suspension seatpost. Love this bike.

My dealer doesn’t have a lot of Aventon in stock and try to upsell you

We just purchased (2) Pace 500.3 in the awesome Basalt color from our local dealer. Love the bikes. Yes, highly recommend buyi)g through a dealer.

Local bike shops ( “dealers”) are normally the best bet. They employ local folks, they assemble, they have parts and service and they are always (in my experience) terrific people. Count me in for “local’ whenever possible.

Is the seat wobbly? I was quite surprised with all the movement of the seat.

My experience buying a Aventon Pace 500 3 was anything but smooth and calling Aventon customer service took 2 calls totaling 1 hr. 30 minutes! I paid over 19k out the door for the bike and am still waiting for it after 11 business days. Seems like a good bike IF I CAN GET IT!

I’ve been agonizing over whether to get a step over or step through… I love the clay color of the level two, but everyone told me step through was much better. I never thought about the water bottle thing. I think I’m closer to making my decision!

This helped me out a lot. I am looking at the Pace 500, Level 2, and Velotric, and I see myself really enjoying the Pace.

Very informative. Do you know the exact inside width of the u-bolts? It says 3 inches on Amazon but my crossbars are 3 1/8 inches wide. Hoping they come a little wider than advertised so it will fit my cross bars.

Your comparison is very helpful as I noted in previous comment. After testing both a step over and a step through., I do like the step over model but ultimately decided to go with the step through. I'm not getting any younger so not having to swing my leg over the saddle is appealing. I'll have to get the extra bar to use with my hitch rack and while I don't really want the water bottle up by my handlebars, I'll get used to it. Thanks again for a good comparison.

You can order online and have them ship to your dealer who will put the bike together. Memorial Day sale for Pace 500.3 online saved $300 plus provided free extra battery (around $599). Fee to ship to dealer was around $150.

This was very helpful however I just learned that the step over is being discontinued and they are getting hard to find as inventory is low. Unfortunately, I'd prefer the step over. I also see they added a gray color to the step through line which to me is better than the 2 existing colors.

Very helpfuul. There were definitely some things I wouldn't have thought about. Thanks!

I've been considering the Pace 500.3 so your review was very helpful. I think front suspension is over rated. I've never had a bike with front suspension. Another benefit of the Pace is it is lighter in weight compared to the level. Now I'm off to my LBS for a test ride!

How do you compare it to the Pace?
