25,332
Published 2022-09-13
The LEVEL.2 is a Class 1 electric bike, it has an aluminum frame complete with fenders and rear rack the total weight is around 54lbs which is under the weight limit for many hitch mount bike racks on the market. The LEVEL.2 has 27.5 x 2.1 tires front and rear, a Shimano 8 Speed drivetrain and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors. The LEVEL.2 is powered by a 500w brushless rear hub motor with a torque sensor and a removable 48v 672wh battery. Lastly, the LEVEL.2 has a Zoom Aria suspension fork with a lock and adjustable preload, this paired with the tires and a comfortable seat make for a smooth ride when navigating around town.
Torque sensors are nothing new to electric bikes, but a first for Aventon and a highly desired upgrade to their flagship commuter we're all familiar with. Our first impressions of the Aventon LEVEL.2 left us looking forward to spending more time on it as the torque sensor has given a much more intuitive riding experience and the integrated lights and fenders has us feeling more confident in our commuting endeavors as we look towards fall, shorter days, and the weather changing.

Just got my level 2 and I love it. Love the extra help getting to work. Makes me excited to ride rather than dread having to wake up early to ride to work. Would definitely recommend anyone pick up the Level 2 as a commuter. I even sold my car to replace it with the bike.

Glad to see a company offering a torque sensor hub drive for those who still want some fitness but maybe have knee issues.
-
Just bought the step-through for my wife and the step-over for myself. Picking them both up tomorrow! Super excited!

I'm someone who has been brand loyal in my life. I like my '06 Trek Multitrack 7500 and I'm looking now for an ebike. I'll keep my '06 Trek because I've kept it in fantastic shape but I have to write here that I will be giving this newer brand a serious look and a test ride at a local dealer. Trek is a bit conservative with not offering a Class 2 ebike and they also don't offer a lot of colors on their bikes besides Trek black. This Aventon Level.2 is affordable to me being that I'm retired and can't easily spend much over $2,000 for a bike.

I have an Aventon Level I bought back in 2019 and then another Level Step Thru I bought my wife in 202-. I have a little over 1k miles on it now as I don't get to ride as much as I would like to with work, but its been a great bike. I've posted a review on my page for my experience with Aventon as a company and with the Level bike in particular. Fantastic company and I would highly recommend them.

Glad to hear the torque sensor makes it smoother. I've been looking to replace my car and the Level 2 seems like it will work great for me.
-
Great demo vid thanks!
-
Damn that is a good Looking and Upgraded e-bike
-
Great review. I have been anxiously awaiting the public release of this bike and seeing some real ride-time reviews. I am a big fan of torque sensor ebikes. I had a Pace 500 Next Gen and did not care for it. But this new Level 2 is just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work and would love to see a comparison of this bike vs the Ride1Up Prodigy. Thanks.
-
Love the review. Love the bike! We've had ours since October. They do great on hills by the way, esp. in PAS 3, 4 or 5. I'm curious, what is the accessory attached to the downtube? Thanks!
-
Can not wait for the level 3 to come out
-
Ugh! I purchased my Pace 500 next gen a month too soon! Would love to upgrade to the level.2
-
Love this review! I also love that station wagon you rode past. I have a Giant Cypress 2 right now but have been thinking of adding an e-bike, this one may be it!
-
I love my pace 500 next Gen. If I was riding gravel or rough roads this would be a nice step up if needed. Aventon is a great bike
-
Ugh, that motor noise. Where are you at? So many cool old vehicles there!
-
Would really appreciate a real world range included in this review
-
This was very helpful. I've been going back and forth between the Level 2 and the Pace 500.3. I live in San Francisco (lots of hills) with a lot of hills and ride on the weekend on Angel Island which has a lot of fire trails roads(hilly as well). Will the Level 2 deliver? I don't do any serious mountain biking.
-
Aventon claims 54 lbs. for the S/M that I test rode. I weighed it: it's actually 59.2. (Saw another review where they weighed same size and model; they got 60 lbs.)
-
$1799.00 now.
-
Looking at making the leap and going from analog bike to an electric bike. Does the computer display on the Averton Level 2 allow connectivity to cycling apps such as Strava and RideGPS?
