I usually ride high end, many thousand dollar mountain bikes and don’t really like road riding much, it was too boring. But I bought a pair of these bikes for my wife and I to ride around the neighborhood and our greenway trail system locally. I didn’t expect much as far as quality goes but was actually pretty impressed by the bikes! We live in Texas and struggled to want to ride our normal bikes in summer because of the heat. These E-Bikes make summer riding a breeze, pun intended lol. They keep us moving with ease and we stay much cooler on our rides and no longer dread summer rides. For those wondering about real world range, our longest ride ever was 59.40 miles on a single battery, it even had 6% left. For context, I’m a heavy rider at 225lbs, we carried another 10 pounds of gear, kept the assist in the lowest level and only throttled for very short periods. The path we were on only had an elevation change of about 800 feet by the end of the ride. I was truly stunned by the range. Speaking of the throttle, it’s such a great option. If you’re out and are too tired to pedal back or need to stand up on the pedals to give your butt a break, it will keep you moving. The only negative things I can really say are the fact that I’ve had 3 flats, always at a bad time that caused me to need to walk miles to get somewhere I could be picked up since we were on greenway paths. I’ve since started carrying tools and tubes. My tip would be to keep your tires inflated as high as allowed because of the bike weight. I would love tubeless ready wheels but that’s probably asking too much. Another negative is the bikes just look a little nerdy with the fenders and rack. That said, the fenders came in handy when we rode on a wet day and the rack is great for carrying a bag with tools and other stuff. The last thing is the bike’s weight. It’s not really an issue until you have to move them. We had to buy a special hitch carrier for these to make sure it was rated for the weight. We do remove the batteries while transporting them and bought Velcro covers to keep dust and water from getting into the battery compartment.

Overall, we’re really pleased with these bikes. We have so much fun speeding around on them. My wife rides with me so much more now! We’ve even started hitting the greenway in the evening, biking a good 10-15 miles to a restaurant and then pedaling back. It’s been a lot of fun. I’d love it if Aventon would consider some rear suspension one day. Nothing crazy but a little cushion would be nice.

I bought my Level 2 Commuter last year and love it for the rough streets in Chicago. Solidly built and I have about 500 miles on it thus far even though it is winter here but look forward to riding more soon. I liked the design and features and love the integrated Headlight/tail lights and brake lights. I just bought another for my partner as I was torn between Level 2 and Level 3 but the brake lights steered me towards the Level 2 model so now we have two. Battery life is long and I have adjusted easily to an eBike from a regular trail bike. Thank you for a great product!

I bought a Level 2 about a year ago and put almost 2,000 miles on it.
Here's the pros:
- Best "bang for the buck" of all e-bikes.
- Excellent build quality
- Five levels of pedal assist
- Integrated front, rear, side and fender lights with braking
- Bright, easy to see display, even in sunlight
- Torque sensing motor provides a natural feel
- Decent fenders and rear rack that supports 50+ lbs.
- Spring-loaded front suspension
Cons:
- Level 1 pedal assist is way too much, wasting battery life.
- Weighs 62 lbs. Easily the biggest drawback to this bike.
- Range: Even on minimal pedal assist, the battery last at most 50 miles, less than the claimed 60 miles.
- Cheap plastic chain guard broke.
- Kickstand bolts broke off. I replaced the stock kickstand with a center mounted "motorcycle" stand.
- Right adjustment **** on front suspension mysteriously disappeared. Not sure if it was ever there.
- Cheapest Shimano groupset, with no option to upgrade. Erratic shifting.
- Cheap saddle. Developed a tear right in front.
- Kenda tires. I bought Schwalbe e-bike tires with extra puncture protection.
Other than the weight, Aventon has done a careful job of balancing quality and price.
My first choice of an e-bike was a Specialized Turbo Vado with a center-mounted motor at half the weight but twice the price.
I struggle to lift the Level 2 up a few steps to my door, but the trade-off has been worth it.
If I had to make the decision again, I would still buy the Aventon Level 2. Nothing about the Level 3 is compelling enough to make me want to upgrade.

When I got this bike and assembled it a part of it broke off to hold the light to the bike and they instantly sent a replacement when I sent a photo. I also bought it right before a sale and they gave me money back.

Just got this Replacement Level 2
My original had several problems and C Service gave me a New Bike
Just took it out for its first ride and it felt great
