Aventon Control Unit’s 4G†/GPS† capabilities introduce an array of new features.
- GPS Location - GPS positioning is performed periodically and the position is updated to the Aventon app.
- 4G cellular communication - The ACU communicates with cloud servers over 4G cellular networks.
- Geofencing - Set boundaries where your ebike is allowed or not allowed to go.
- Report lost - With 4G subscription, the motor assistance can be disabled from the Aventon app, and the bike’s motor will stop functioning.
- Remote shutdown - The Aventon app can remotely control the shutdown of the ACU via Bluetooth or 4G network.
- Alarm and Motion sensor - Now you can remotely detect movement and security verification failure, all from the Aventon app. After the shutdown, the ACU’s built-in accelerometer will continuously monitor for vibrations (such as being moved, falling, etc), and will report it through the 4G connection when detected.
- Status report - With 4G, whether your bike is on or off, the ebike status info like location and battery is directly uploaded to the cloud server when the Aventon app is not connected. Through your Aventon app, you can also receive updates on ebike status and change notification frequency as desired.
- Ride statistics summary - During your ride - mileage, duration, start/end locations are recorded and uploaded to the cloud server via Bluetooth or 4G, even when your Aventon app is not in use.
- Transportation Mode - All functions such as status reporting and vibration monitoring can be turned off. For long-distance transportation, reducing the use of ACU’s 4G, can save battery power.
Aventon ebikes like the Level 3 are built to the IPX5 water-resistant standard. An IPX5 rating means the bike is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This provides a moderate level of water resistance, allowing you to ride in light to moderate rain or through small puddles. However, IPX5 does not mean waterproof—Aventon ebikes are not designed for full submersion. Avoid using a pressure washer or high-pressure sprayer to clean your ebike, as pressurized water can still damage components.
Aventon does not sell conversion kits. All Aventon bikes are already designed with electrical components, such as integrated batteries, motors, and sensors for an optimal riding experience.
Taking care of your ebike battery is an integral part of getting the most out of your Aventon ebike. Here are a few things to remember:
- 1. Charge your battery regularly to avoid fully draining your battery’s stored energy or voltage.
- 2. Use the right charger. Only use an Aventon branded and proper model charger (Be sure to place the charger brick on a flat, non-flammable surface like metal or concrete. The charger brick will conduct heat while charging.)
- 3. Avoid overcharging your ebike.
- 4. Avoid extreme temperatures. Store and charge the battery in a climate-controlled area, keeping it away from both extreme heat and cold.
- 5. Maintain the right level of charge. The battery should be stored at 75% charge to its health.
- 6. Avoid heavy loads. Do not exceed the bike’s recommended maximum capacity.
- 7. Keep your battery, terminal, & ports clean.
Some Aventon models, such as the Level 2, Level 3, Abounds, Sinch 2, & Aventure 2, come with pre-installed fenders and a rear rack. Additional accessories are available for purchase. Explore a wide-range of Aventon accessories, including helmets, locks, bike pumps, and so much more to add to your next riding adventure.
All Aventon-branded frames, framesets, components, and batteries come with a 2-year warranty. Learn more about the Aventon warranty.
Electric bikes require regular maintenance tune-ups similar to traditional bikes and cars. To get the best performance out of your ebike, regularly check tires, tubes, chains, battery, and brakes, or visit a local bike shop for professional assistance. Performing a pre-ride safety check helps maintain your ebike, as well as staying up-to-date on non-electric component maintenance and repairs.
The torque sensor design is more intuitive for the rider at high and low speeds, it’s more efficient, has smoother power delivery, and is less prone to damage as the sensor is internal opposed to the external cadence sensor.
*Aventon has the right without notice to the consumer to substitute components of at least equal quality for advertised Aventon ebike components in the event of the unavailability of such advertised components. More info.
*Boost Mode allows your bike to output up to 120% of it's max torque and power for up to 30 seconds at a time. More info
**Max range is estimated based on a rider weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) on a paved, flat road, in Eco Mode, with Ride Tune set to the default settings. Actual range will vary depending on rider weight, terrain, weather conditions, tire pressure, and cadence.
For additional lithium-ion battery safety tips and information, including with respect to the use, charging, and storage of lithium-ion batteries, please click here to review safety information published by New York City.
†Certain features of this electric bike require a 4G data connection. A complimentary 4G connection subscription is included for the first year, beginning from the product service registration date. The 4G connection subscription service enables seamless access to advanced connectivity features including, but not limited to: GPS Location, 4G cellular communication activation, 4G cellular communication, Lost bike reporting, Remote Shutdown, Periodic status reports, Riding statistics summary information, Alarm and operation prompt sound, Vibration monitoring when powered off, Periodic status reporting when powered off, Transportation Mode, Key information synchronization, and Geofencing. After the first year, a paid 4G connection subscription will be required to maintain access to these services. Please note that data subscription fees and terms may apply.

I've googled instructions and I cannot find a RIDE ASSIST menu on the bike's display nor in the Aventon app. I hold + and - for 3s but no RIDE ASSIST menu. Help please. I would post in the Aventon forum, but the admins are not approving my request to be added and it's been a couple of weeks.
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out. We want to make sure you get this sorted out as quickly as possible so you can get the most out of your display and app. Our customer service team will be contacting you shortly to further assist with your inquiry and help guide you through the settings step by step.

Moved to a mid drive e-bike from a rear hub throttle e-bike and it’s a night and day difference. If you want a e-bike that feels more like riding a regular bike and get some exercise I would check out a mid drive like the Level 4 ADV. You can ride around effortlessly but, if you want you can also exert more effort to go even faster and get some exercise. The optional throttle works ok but, due to the mid drive motor it isn’t as torquey like a rear hub e-bike and cuts into the bike’s range. It has no problem going 20 mph with the throttle. I was leaning more towards the Level 4 REC at first because I enjoy riding e-bikes that have a throttle with instant torque but, in the end I am glad I got the Level 4 ADV. It has great range, shifting customization, auto shifting is a useful/nice option that can also be customized and I get some meaningful exercise while having a lot of fun. I wanted matte black but, it was sold out. I end up getting the step through in haze color and I’m actually glad I did. The matte black is not **** by any means but it’s kind of boring. The haze purple is a nice shade of purple. I wished it was a little darker but, it’s still really nice shade. Really happy with the Level 4 ADV. Hoping to see some Aventon belt drive e-bikes in the future.
Hi AJ,
Thank you for your feedback! We are absolutely thrilled that you are loving the Level.4 ADV and experiencing the 'night and day' difference of that mid-drive motor and the perfect balance of effortless cruising and customizable auto-shifting. We are also glad the Haze purple won you over—it definitely brings a fantastic, unique pop of color to the road! We appreciate your feedback regarding upgrades, and we will be forwarding this to our team. Thank you for choosing Aventon, and happy riding!
Regards,
Aventon

Bought my level 4 rec step through 3 weeks ago and have already put 120 miles on it and absolutely love it. The ride is unreal and makes easy to get up hills.
Hi Dave,
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are delighted to learn that your new Level 4 REC has delivered such an exceptional riding experience and made hill climbing effortless for you. Accumulating 120 miles in your first three weeks is a wonderful achievement, and we look forward to supporting you through many more miles to come. Thank you for choosing Aventon.
Best,
Aventon

I’ve put ~55 miles on my step thru REC over several short rides (2-5 miles) and a couple longer ones (7-9 miles) over hilly roads, gravel trails, city streets and dirt paths, and it’s been a strong and extremely fun bike. I tore my ACL earlier this year, had surgery and am in mid rehab, this thing has allowed me to regain some form of fitness but also a big boost in freedom. I have a Yepp seat on the rear rack to split carrying my kids with my wife who has an abound Lr, and so far it’s been phenomenal even with a kid on the back. We recently attached our old dog bike trailer to my bike and cruising down trails to parks, cafes etc have all been amazing! The brakes seem tuned well for the extra weight and the assist helps me push thru if I need a little boost. I tuned eco mode down to the lowest entry for each setting and despite the heavy weight, it’s still relatively easy to hill climb etc, so either the gearing or hub motor really helps.
Things I like - the step thru frame is super convenient for me for getting on and off in traffic/ in general, and also makes it so dismounting is easier with my kid sitting on the Yepp seat. The suspension post feels decent, the seat is okay but overall together it makes for a comfortable ride. The hub motor is insane, you can really fly with this thing if you want, and despite the heavier frame, you can sorta lean into turns etc so the handling is decent for a bike this size. The included fenders/rack are solid, the light is solid, and the little features from the app etc are sweet. Battery life is also pretty good - I wish there was a better method to see avg range over a charged period but it isn’t necessary I guess.
Things I dislike or are just okay: the handlebar spacing is tight for addons - it’s probably normal for commuter bikes, but given that the screen takes up a solid chunk of the middle, mounting a large phone, adding a bell etc are a tad squashed in there since you got the throttle and gear/brake assemblies also limiting space. It’s def not a deal breaker, it’s more you just need to be cognizant about what kind of devices you can fit up there. It’s obviously a heavy bike, it’s not the easiest to pickup and maneuver but it’s certainly manageable - it comes with the ebike territory, tho there exists others in this segment that are 10lbs lighter.
Overall this bike is fantastic, it’s so fun to ride that it has us going out for little runs through our neighborhood or to the playgrounds everyday with our kids. Honestly, i genuinely haven’t been this excited to bike in years, and this is coming from a guy who would primarily MTB and didn’t care for road biking that much. I have been heavily considering commuting to work and this thing certainly seems like it would fit the bill! Super happy I went with this bike, was cross shopping a few other brand as well as the Level 4 ADV, went with the hub instead just in case pedaling got uncomfortable for my knee mid ride so I could use the throttle to bail myself out but you don’t really ever need it! 5 stars!
