The Level 4 REC has a significantly larger motor (750W with an 1188W peak) that outputs more power with an extended range, supported by Regenerative Braking. This means you can ride faster for longer.
Regenerative Braking, or Regen, is using the motor as a generator when it's slowing down. Converting kinetic energy into electricity, powering the main battery as the bike slows down. Toggleable while coasting and during only-braking, Regen saves on power and your brake pads, allowing you to ride further.
Yes, the Level 4 REC is rated to an IPX5 rating, meaning that you can ride in the rain, but be sure to avoid direct water spray and fully submerging the bike.
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.
†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 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!

I’ve had this bike for about 3 weeks so still getting used to it but so far I love it. The step through is so easy and I don’t have to worry about tripping as I get on or off. Bike is easy to use, with great features.

So far I am pretty happy with my new level 4. I have only take smaller rides with it so far but have enjoyed the auto mode for the pedal assist and the auto gear changing as well.
Hi June! Thank you for your review of our Level 4 ADV Step-Through Ebike. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the auto mode for pedal assist and gear changing. We hope you continue to have a great time on your rides with the Level 4. Happy cycling!

I sold my very nice Trek/Electric Townie Go and purchased the Level 4 ADV a couple weeks ago. So far I've replaced the saddle for one that's a bit more comfortable. I also ordered a throttle and installed it. I have to say the throttle isn't as responsive as the Townie Go throttle was so that's been a bit disappointing. The Adventon App is pretty good but I'm still trying to adjust the settings to fit my needs and to figure out how each of the settings effect the ride. I know this may sound somewhat negative but these are miner disappointments compared to the overall bike. It's a great bike with many wonderful features. I don't use the auto shift very often because it seems to shift different than my needs. Maybe if I figure out the App settings I can fix that issue. The bike quality is really good and I thoroughly recommend this bike to anyone who's looking for a high quality bike with some great features.
Hi Lavar!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Level 4 ADV Step-Through Ebike. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your new bike and that it has many great features. We understand that there have been a couple of minor disappointments, but we are glad to hear that they are not taking away from your overall experience with the bike. We are continuously working to improve our products and appreciate your feedback on the throttle and auto shift. If you have any further questions or need assistance with adjusting the app settings, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.
Happy riding!
