Aventon Level Review | Commuter Electric Bike (2021)

[@ElectricBikeReport]

E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡ Do you like to go fast on e-bikes? Or do you prefer to cruise at a good pace and take in the ride? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

[@thomasflynn2357]

the latter. I prefer to have the option to select speeds below 10 mph when I want to enjoy the view an dtake my time

[@Queen16333]

Definitely cruise!

[@dtcolipapaify]

I bought this bike almost two weeks ago…first of all I wanted to go is fast….but now I like to cruise…on the bike trails(paved)…I prefer to have 0 assists…then used the throttle to go faster…as long as you going 3-5 mph…the throttle will work…even on 0…this way it’s easier to maneuver around people on the trails…one thing about this bike is it’s really quiet…so you can sneak up on people quickly….but all in all I have speed anytime I want it…so it’s the best of both worlds…

[@cindylou2128]

Both. If I have an appointment, then I like to get right along. However, when out on the bike trails, I like to take in the sights and sounds. I brake for taking photos...😀

[@j0e_0n_the_g0]

Depending upon the trail, the location, and whether or not it's a first time ride on that trail will usually decide for me if I'm taking in the sights, or just cruising. I'm not at the point of running the rat race on a trail anymore. Enjoy the views and ride!

[@dougk8103]

I have the level commute and couldn't be happier. Superior workmanship and very well put together. The bike has no problem carrying a 200 pound rider 30 miles in the highest range at 28 miles per hour. Of course the lower assist settings allow you to go even further.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thansk for sharing your experience, Doug! It's got great range for high and low assist alike.

[@teddybears2692]

After 1 year how has it held up?

[@brandonmalone5758]

Doing my test right now. I switch between PAS 4 and 5. I have 28.3 miles clocked in so far. Average speed is close to 23 mph( 5.5 miles commute takes me 14/15 mins) Flat terrain. I weight about 255lbs. I’d say that is a fantastic performance! Granted, I pedal very hard in 8th gear.

[@Arcticfox7]

Hilly or flat roads? I live in a hilly area

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

I’ve got 200 miles on mine and so happy I bought it. I am finding that I don’t even need or use the throttle at all. I’m usually in power assist 2 and 3, and save 1 for starts. I feel like I did when I was a kid, free to roam and explore. I’m 67 years young. Numerous excuses to go to the grocery just for the 4 mile ride through quite streets and a park. Commuter is a good word for this bike. Range is at least 40 the way I ride and pedal.

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

I got lucky when I bought this bike a month ago. I didn’t do much research and now after 250 miles with no problems, I am thrilled with it.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@Criscross292]

I bought this after watching this video. It definitely handles like a MTB Hardtail, and has a lot of power. They now come with a Sunrace M4 shifter/derailleur setup which is pretty garbage…. I’m replacing it with Shimano Altura. The brakes are actually really powerful, which I didn’t expect given the name ‘bengal’ brakes. Beautiful frame as well and feels very solid. Also, keep in mind that there are no frame screw mounts if you want to install a water bottle cage, etc…

[@sandiam7809]

My husband and I have a level and we love how we can stay together when riding, he is much faster then myself on our acoustic bikes!

[@richarddamp9141]

After spending months reviewing both comments and youtube videos of dozens of ebikes, it came down to this bike and the Ride1up 700. I rode a few fat tire bikes too and didn't like the slow steering, extra weight and unnecessary tire noise and drag. This bike is $100 more than the 700 and didn't have as good of a parts spec. It's only advantage is the 3 frame sizes. It's a real nice bike but I ended up with the 700 and glad I did. I'm 5'10' and it's perfect. Better brakes, tires, fork, grips, water bottle mount, nice color display, built in lights that work exc, and you can program your PAS levels and more. Love riding it. It's quiet and handles and stops very well. Only reason to buy the Level is the choice of frame sizes in my opinion.

[@nelsoncaraballo9446]

I pulled the trigger on the Level, Step-Thru, White. For a 65-70 lbs bike it did just fine in gear 4 with no power assistance which was # ONE concern about ridding if I ever run out of battery life. Great review/video. This channel made it a lot easier to make my e-bike choice. Thank you. Ride On!

[@vickierusard7512]

Oh boy... l just ordered one yesterday... before watching any reviews... just took the work of Mike the guy l was talking to at Amego in Toronto. So excited. If you get one from there tell Them l sent you.

[@vickierusard7512]

Oh boy... it’s in and l love it!

[@MegaSling]

Just bought one of these and Aventon's Pace 500. Real pleased so far. The range is fantastic. My wife and I have yet to drain the battery on an outing so far. We use then while RVing. They are great as a grocery get'er as long as you put bags on them. And they are fast. I raised the speed limiter on them and they'll hit 30 mph all day long on level ground on max pedal assist.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Glad to hear you're getting good use out of them! We're hearing more and more how e-bikes are ideal for the RV crowd.

[@francisdeguzman7817]

Do you have a tutorial on how to raise the speed ?

[@MegaSling]

@@francisdeguzman7817 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qF7HlZKGp7eYqNU

[@amigajoe]

Is the riding position noticeably different between them? The Pace 500 looks like it has a more upright riding position, for comfort.

[@MegaSling]

@@amigajoe the 500 is a rougher ride for sure. The other one has front shocks which makes a big difference. Much smother ride. Both leave you upright for the most part.

[@LifeisGood-ye8rl]

So glad we have a quality option with lots of value instead of paying $3600plus for trek or more for canyon canondale or Giant who advertise top quality components but if you know what quality you would know they cut just as much corners. the frame is the only high quality part the rest hanging off of the frames are generic parts.

[@Chieflywaze]

Very thorough and informative review!

[@ronaldramsey7774]

Very comprehensive great review.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thank you kindly!

[@joefazio4995]

Does this hub motor have that drag that the Rad City has? Apparently it is caused by the Rad's re-gen motor and it was, well a real drag. And if you went over 25 (or 28 once re-set)MPH the drag actually slowed your pedaling until the speed dropped below the setting. VERY annoying.

[@DutchCleveland]

It is so hard to find someone saying anything bad about this bike. I only found one downside to the Aventon Level. Mine is currently traveling across the country in a fedex truck. Take a look at how much the Aventon Level Battery pack is. $500 dollars. (and out of stock) other than that. I bought this bike having never ridden on one before. There is not ONE bad review of the Aventon Level anywhere and this bike has been out for about a year or more. The funny thing is.. The day I bought it. The price was 1599. The next morning it was 1699. That was interesting.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

There is a lot to like when it comes to the Level - we aren't too surprised to hear a consensus on it being a great e-bike!

[@4049221]

This was a great choice for me for the price. I now have almost 1000 miles on it. It has exceeded my expectations. I am sold on the use of an E-Bike for rides of less than 10K.

[@4049221]

@Krazyfire101 Not sure. I am 5"6" and the small step through works great for me.

[@somebody655]

Great product- worked perfectly, no issues.

[@kjevers1]

The one major demerit with this any model is the Bengal Ares brakes. I have been trying to buy a set of pads for over a year with no luck. Even Aventon delisted purchase on their website.

[@NileshHingu1978]

What is max loading capacity with best performance in top speed and mileage covered

[@OutnBacker]

It appears Aventon upped their game on this model over last year - probably because the Ride1Up is a slightly better bike - and value. The frame even has been modified so it doesn't look identical to the Ride1Up 700. I'm sure it does everything it is adertised to do, but there are lots of other choices - and I recommend the Ride1Up 700 as the closest competitor to this bike. 28mph is no problem and you get dual piston Tektro hydraulic brakes that will stop a truck. With the speed these are capable of, you need good brakes - but be careful: An emergency stop at high speed will have you over the bars.

[@aaronjamees1590]

I'm looking to get one for the 3-4 months I gotta save up for a vehicle as well use for exercise and Metroparks riding, I work 8.5 miles away and honestly was wondering would it be better to save or get this for my commute?

[@gadeonmusic]

Man do it, I'll be commuting on this to work, I'm saving 20k plus interest on a car + gas + insurance + maintenance. Well worth the investment on an ebike

[@mikerroh]

Can you tell me what size the Aventon was that you were riding? You said you were 6'0", and it seemed to be a good fit. I'm 6'3", so I'm hoping that the large is a little bigger than what you were riding.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Ours was a medium. We'd recommend you go with a large as it'll likely be the best fit for you.

[@j0e_0n_the_g0]

Just bought the Level. Can't wait to take it for a spin!👍

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you think!

[@j0e_0n_the_g0]

@@ElectricBikeReport Got the bike put together on Friday night just in time for a full charge and a ride on Saturday. I ordered the bike and got it all in one week-no supply chain issues for me at least this time. Excellent processing and shipping times. Aventon sends you eMails along the way to let you know when they've processed the order, shipped it, and when it will arrive. The bike is packed well, and easy to remove for assembly. I'm pretty handy with tools and have had experience in tuning and repair of my own bikes, so I didn't need the instructions cuz "guys don't use instructions". 😀 I watched the video and then assembled it in good time while the battery charged overnight. Strangely enough, installing the front fender was kind of tricky for me because of the small amount of clearance between it and the front tire. I finally got the three screws adjusted just right after some fiddling. While the battery continued to charge, I took the bike out for a quick spin to make sure nothing was rubbing, and the gears shifted OK, and everything was well. Even though this is a heavy bike I had no trouble riding it while shifting through the gears without the battery. The next day, I took it out on my favorite trail and put a quick 30 miles on it. Since this is my first e-Bike, I felt like I still needed to peddle. I'm still getting used to the peddle assist and the throttle, but the way I used the bike was to keep it on paddle assist level 1 which kicks in around 10-11 mph, and use the throttle when needed on the hills while averaging around 12 mph. However you use it, this e-Bike is absolutely incredible, and just rolls. The bike computer display is big, and shows you just what you need to see for keeping track of your MPH, miles, battery power, and peddle assist info. At the end of my trip, I still had all the energy bars lit on the display. So, I'm convinced that with peddling on a trail with a few moderate hills, I could probably get about 60+ miles out of the battery. This e-Bike is built well and is solid. It rides great, and is just plain fun. I'm looking forward to going farther now and faster in the miles ahead!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Sounds awesome! Enjoy logging those miles, Joe!

[@hakjak]

Is there anything different between this bike and the Aventon Level step through? Is one a newer version of the other?

[@Reedblackman]

Just got mine I love it!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Glad to hear it!

[@Tony-ij9zx]

Mine came in today. On demand throttle. How long did it take to charge your battery outta the box.

[@Reedblackman]

@@Tony-ij9zx it took a few hours

[@Mainstayjay]

Bought mine about two weeks ago. The step through version. Been riding it every day for 40 miles on average but have gotten to 62. I like to go fast but usually am riding in level 1 or 2. I did access the settings and bumped it up to 51 in Function 05P to get 32mph in level 5 pedal assist. Stopping power is fantastic, I have had to use it for people that pulled out in front of me. I haven't owned an Ebike before this one but I think that I chose well.

[@hawleygriffon9290]

Yeah, just bought mine a few days ago. Never owned an ebike before but compared to my old mountain bike, this is something else. Haven't tried it on steep hills in this area with grades better than 45 degrees but will shortly. Can't today as we have thunderstorms but maybe tomorrow. Did try it out on a short 1 block 35 degree hill and it took it no problem in level 2. Was able to get the bike up to 28.3 mph on a flat area, so thats really fast. I wanted a bike and not a scooter which are more common in my area though I've begun to notice a few more ebikes from various manufacturers. Supply chain problems meant I could have the Level in a S/M instead of a large or wait 2 months (maybe) for a larger frame model or else the Pace 500 v2. The store had v1s at a lower price and Pace 350s but I didn't want those. Cue The Stones "you can't always get what you wanted". But, so far I' very impressed with the bike. Just need to get some accessories like better lights than the ones supplied by the bike shop (these look like they came out of a dollar store) and some saddle bags and a carry all and a basket. Then I will be all set...

[@Mainstayjay]

@@hawleygriffon9290 Glad to hear that you are really enjoying it. I'm riding as much as I can every single day. Yesterday was 32 days of ownership and the odometer rolled past 900 miles ridden in the afternoon. I would suggest taking the limiter off of level 5, just to unlock 32mph top speed. I ride mostly in level 2 though. I bought a second battery from the Aventon website (bought bike at local shop) so I can ride as much as I want although I can do that with one battery. I bought slide on Topeak attachments so I've got the saddlebags and the folding tote. A child seat as well for my 2 year old daughter. I haven't enjoyed something so much in a very long time! I also didn't want v1. What I need now is other E-bike riders to mingle with.

[@hawleygriffon9290]

@@Mainstayjay Thanks for the insight on accessories. I've been trying to find things like saddle bags but Aventon itself is sold out and most bike shops in Canada don't carry Aventon bikes. Rad Power on the West Coast and some other brands down in Toronto. Yeah, I'll have to look at removing the current top speed. Just waiting for my 2nd security device before I can feel comfortable enough to actually park it somewhere without it being stolen right away. I bought a Kryptonite lock and chain from the bike shop, so that's a start. I have to adjust the forks too. The way they are currently set, there is no travel on them. It's like there is no suspension at all. And the saddle is uncomfortable. I need to get one with more springs or some sort of cushioning for bumps. Right now, hitting a bump travels right up my spine and with ruptured discs, that hurts plenty! But you are right, this is the most fun I've had in a vehicle in decades...

[@Mainstayjay]

@@hawleygriffon9290 Topeak accessories on Amazon. The bike shop set me up with a rear rack that works with Topeak stuff that just slides on and clicks in to latch. Because of that every thing is immediately removable. The topeak foldable box with wheels and an extendable handle is great, I go grocery shopping with it and people stop me to chat about it. I enjoy that. On Saturday my Topeak Mtx Trunk Bag was delivered and I used it for a 50 mile ride that day. That is also going to be a favorite. All this hauling capability has me barely using a car now. My knees feel pretty blasted daily from all the riding but I'm pretty much addicted to it. Haha. But yea, after using Topeak quicktrack accessories I preach about them to anyone that asks or even if they don't.

[@Mainstayjay]

Oh by the way, don't buy topeak stuff from Aventon. The saddlebag cost 20.00 USD more there than on Amazon.

[@Tinman710]

I just got mine today same model but it didn't give me an option for throttle on demand however it did come with it anyway. It's super useful in the city when you're at stop lights. To be honest that's kind of the whole point of a throttle. This bike is the best.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Yeah they finally did away with TAP (Throttle After Pedal). TOD only now, which is something we're happy to see!

[@Tinman710]

@@ElectricBikeReport yeah and now there's really no point of downshifting, I just keep it in the highest gear and use throttle to take off from stops. Then if I'm lazy I use TATT(throttle all the time).

@@ElectricBikeReport What does that mean? That it has TOD now. Is that pedal assist? Sorry im new to this all. Thank you

[@5DNRG]

To clarify current (as of 4/2022) Aventon policy, the customer canNOT choose between Throttle on Demand and Pedal Assist Throttle, it comes with PAS Throttle. Now you must buy a separate optional package for the Throttle on Demand, but it come with color display too.

[@churchofpos2279]

I bought one, but haven't been able to ride it yet. The only downside is getting it put together. I am not mechanically inclined, so I did not want to take the chance on assembling it wrong. The local bike shops won't do the assembly for me. The closest Aventon dealership is over 1.5 hour away and then could not guarantee to do the same assembly the same day. I would have have had to take the chance on making 2 trips to the bike dealership which would have been 6 hours round trip , plus the cost of gas. I finally found a mobile bike tech that will assemble it for me, but it will cost $250. I have an appointment with the bike tech next week, so we will see how things go.

[@independentmind85]

You should just try putting it together yourself. I am not mechanically minded whatsoever and I have put together about 6 E bikes now. To me they are easier than building a big Lego set haha.

Hi, you mention a “27-inch wheel-base” early on in the review…? Are you absolutely SURE about that? That seems extremely unlikely. You may want to re-measure, eh? Otherwise, that was a pretty awesome review, overall. Looks like a worthwhile option for a mid-level machine. My first e-bike came in at $398- and it’s still going strong! That would be a super-budget option. (Hyper e-Ride 26” Hardtail Mountain Bike, no longer available at that 2020 price point, unfortunately).

[@peterhusty6400]

What is the weight of the Aventon Level Commuter without the battery attached. I will be transporting the bike with a hitch mounted Kuat Bike Rack. I will be riding primarily on State Park trails and on Rail to Trail paths. Is this bike suitable for those locations?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Total bike weight is 62 lbs. The battery is about 8 lbs, so call it 54ish lbs without it. Double-check the weight rating on your Kuat per tray before attempting to load it. I'd say the Level's tires would work on gentle path trails, but if that's what you're predominantly going to ride it might be smart to swap tires for something with a little more grip. That said, the Level itself would be a fine bike on smooth gravel paths - it just comes with pavement-oriented tires.

[@markmuldowney3394]

Tne battery says 672 watt hours so 672 divided by 525 watts = 1.28 hours of run time. 500 continuos watts & some 600 watts maybe for some uphill. 20 mph x 1.28 hours == 25.6 miles. Now you should never run your battery that low so plan on 18-21 miles effective range without pedaling

Many of the components look nearly identical, but he got front and back hardwired lights (which I am having a hard time finding any info on even adding to the level), bottle cage mounts, and bags for the back rack included. His bike was $105 cheaper and there is a coupon available to take another $75 off of the already lower price. I feel like maybe I got shorted a bit with the level. It's nice for the money, but perhaps not the best deal you can get for that money.

Debating between this and the fat tire version. Just wish they offered an extended range battery option.

Given that it is integrated into the frame it's hard to increase the battery size as that would then mess up the aesthetic. Not saying they can't find a solution, but that's our best guess as to why extended battery options aren't there, and they'd maybe steer you towards a second battery instead.

He corrected himself and said that it is a 500w motor continues with a 750w peak ... here is a fun fact - the motor power is not everything - you also have to consider bike weight and rider weight, tire size and tire drag etc ... I had a chance to test drive 2 bikes from Aventon => the Aventon Level reviewed here and the big brother - the Aventon Adventure wich is much bigger frame - about 12 pounds heavier and with a 4 inch tires and a 750w continues motor - for city riding, asphalt and pavement - both performed quite close - with the level feeling more zippy and responsive and more fun ... The Adventure has pros for off-road, sand snow, uphill etc ...but on asphalt those 4 inch tires are not as responsive on tight turns

[@gadeonmusic]

Can this bike actually hit 28 mph?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Sure can!

[@zerozeroseven2591]

I bought a brand-new Aventure that arrived with a problem in the rear brakes. I have been attempting to get assistance from Customer Support for nearly one week to no avail. Aventon has my money, and I have a beautiful e-bike that I can't ride because it arrived DEFECTIVE!

[@darodcarter2091]

Hi. Have you've been able to contact aventon? I'm having the problem.

[@svshootingstar]

The display DOES NOT show "battery percentage." It does show battery voltage, but you'll need a chart to convert voltage to percentage. In addition, the display will not retain the trip computer reading once the bike/display is turned off. It's a great bike with a $hitty display.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We wouldn't object to a better display. It's the one part that maybe doesn't fit the rest of the good aesthetics of the bike too.

[@MsladyPearlz]

all good

[@Arcticfox7]

@10:26 In other words if you're over 200lbs you can forget about going uphill anywhere. It's a dud!

[@tonesmith909]

I am getting one and I am having the bike shop take off the cargo rack, the fenders and adding wider hybrid tires. Also adding a light, wish that was included. Great review, thanks.

[@jeffforbess6802]

Why not just get the venture?

[@vincentchiaramonte846]

350 miles. So far perfect.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Here's to many more miles 🥂

[@deelee8922]

This bike jerks you too 12mph on the lowest pedal assist.. pretty dangerous for dummies who aren't aware

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Like with riding any type of vehicle for the first time, cautiously engaging the motor is the best way to start untill you're used to how it operates.

[@stevebailey2781]

A friend of mine has this bike and I fully agree with you....it was a bit of a shock the first time I rode it. I have a Rize Rx with a more powerful motor, and it does not take off like the Level.

[@Mainstayjay]

It does do this. Bought mine a couple weeks ago. Takes some getting used to.

[@tomordr]

“With all that being said “ 😅😅

[@davidruzzo5806]

If you want to go more than 30mph...buy a motorcycle!

[@RichSDet]

Nice job. Looks like pollen season there. Bike look great, but dusty. Lol

[@ElectricBikeReport]

The way our allergies have all been hit by all this pollen this year is absolute insanity 😆

[@zerozeroseven2591]

So yeah, good luck Paul Sarkis (new Director of Customer Experience for Aventon) trying to make a difference in a company that values their profits a lot more than they respect the customers who make those high profits possible.

[@devonrenn5174]

You're clearly a competitor looking to trash Aventon's Customer Service and attempt to hurt their bike sales. I purchased an Aventon Level in December and my experience with their Customer Service was nothing short of exceptional!I'd highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an outstanding ebike for a very reasonable price.

[@zerozeroseven2591]

@@devonrenn5174 You are wrong! I am an individual who purchased an Aventure and have spent the last week trying to contact Aventon without success, because Aventon's Customer Service is nonexistent. You got lucky with your purchase, but I challenge you to contact Aventon Support right now and IF you succeed, please feel free to tell them that my next step is to dispute the charge with my credit card company because Aventon only gives customers 14 days to return a bad bike. SEVEN days have gone by in my case and Aventon hasn't even read my email request for support, nor have they addressed the Warranty Application I filed. So, yeah buddy, that's exceptional Customer Support for you...

[@bobsibert1968]

Just read the reviews at the BBB and you will never buy one of these!!

[@joeweider9471]

i did, and most of the reviews were service or sales-related problems which EVERY COMPANY OF ANY TYPE will experience from time to time. i'm buying one from a local dealer, always the preferable option IMO... most of the reviews were not denegrating the actual product. the reviews online, both customer and expert overwhelmingly rate this bike very high and reliable, great product for the price... getting ready to purchase one myself, and i've researched extensively info on this bike...i've also ridden the LEVEL and it's REALLY NICE! :D

[@Andrew-it7fb]

@@joeweider9471 I'm planning on doing the same from a local bike shop that's an authorized Aventon dealer. You might be able to find better online offers but I'll take the local support over that.

Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike kzbin.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!
