If You Had To Buy One Ebike, Make It The Aventon Pace 350
May 8, 2020
Imagine, if you will, it’s Spring of 2019. The U.S Women’s Soccer Team won their second consecutive world championship at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their first child to the world, and Game of Thrones was the talked about show on TV with their final season. For Aventon, there was something more personally rewarding to everyone on the team here - we debuted the Pace 350 to the public!
Coming off the heels of the successful launch of our first ebike ever, the Pace 500 in Fall 2018, our intent with the Pace 350 to have the best designed and built ebike in the market while keeping it budget friendly to the price conscious consumers. We achieved this by taking everything that ebike enthusiasts and ebike reviewers loved about the Pace 500 and made it the budget ebike that can do a lot more than other higher priced ebikes. Dare we say, the Pace 350 continues to be a game changer ebike at the very competitive price point of $1,299. Other ebike companies followed suit but they were merely playing catch up.
We currently offer seven different electric bikes in our line up the versatile Level commuter ebike to the all terrain Sinch foldable fat ebike, but the Pace 350 continues to be our best-selling ebike. For many ebike riders, the 350W motor is more than enough to tackle hills.
Both the traditional and step-through Pace 350 models consistently receive great feedback from owners more than one year after its debut:
Great Value
"This is my second Aventon pace 350. Bought the first one as a Christmas gift for my wife. As we live in Michigan she had to wait for Spring to ride it. She has put 125 miles on the bike already. Love to ride it ! ! ! Great affordable e-bike with easy assembly!"

Great bike, great price
"This is a great bike may I suggest for older riders a sprung seat post and adjustable handlebar height, with these additions this bike is unbeatable. By the way, being a class 2 bike, in California it can go on any bike trail."
-Richard T.
Very fun!
"We live up on a hill so no matter which way we walk when we go out we always have an uphill part. Biking has been nearly impossible because we aren’t serious bikers and thought an e-bike would help us a lot, and it has! We tried a cheap online one last year and it broke quickly. This one we brought to an e-bike shop to help assemble and he said it is really well made and a good bike, which after several long rides we can attest to!"

Great First Electric Bike For My Wife!
"I had been researching electric bikes for months and narrowed down to Aventon and Ride1Up. Both offered comparable features, but the Aventon had frame sizing options and a step-thru option which my wife preferred because she is a little shorter. Ordered, great customer service, and arrived quickly. Was fairly easy to assemble out of the box with a little know how. Bike is light for an e-bike and feels really solid thanks to build quality and decent components. Was worried that it may not be enough power as the 500W motor, but it is plenty for my wife and she loves zooming around town. Now we do regular 10 mile rides a few times a week!"
-Anthony R.
Aventon Pace 350 Step Thru
"I absolutely love my new bike! My husband had bought a fat tire ebike from another company and I was looking for something more sleek, but still had enough power to keep up with him! This bike fits the bill! I love the color, features, and ease of use! It took a little bit to put together and one trip to the local bike shop to work out one assembly kink. I have already put 150 miles on my bike. Fortunately we have had a beautiful spring in MN! This bike has been a great way to stay active through the stay at home orders! I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for an ebike in a more affordable but dependable price range."

Still not convinced? Check out these reviews from the most respected ebike and cycling publications:
Bicycling Magazine
"The Aventon Pace just made it easier (as in more affordable) to stop wishing and start riding. Aventon’s goal was to make a reliable, good-looking, economically spec’d e-bike for the lot of us who have been patiently waiting to get in on the fun but who have bills to pay first. Lucky for us, it did so without making huge sacrifices in quality.”
Electric Bike Review
“The Aventon Pace 350 is an affordable yet capable and versatile ebike which aims to give more bang for your buck versus other value priced offerings. An overall comfortable ride with relaxed ergonomics and thoughtful finishing touches like reflective sidewall stripe tires, also comes in a variety of size and color options for both frames.”

Cycle Volta
“The Pace 350 is spec'd with a balance of value, durability, and performance in mind, featuring a Shimano Tourney seven-speed derailleur, Shimano 14-28T cassette, KMC Z Series chain, stout 36-hole double-wall aluminum 27.5-inch rims laced to Joytech hubs, and 2.2-inch-wide Kenda Kwick 7 Sport ebike tires.”
With all of us in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are very aware that budgets are tight and some may even consider an ebike is a non-essential purchase. We would say that cycling might be the best thing you can do right now. We wrote about this exact topic in a previous blog that you can read here. If you’re still on the fence about this purchase, we offer easy financing through Affirm that allows easy monthly payments.
