Aventon Level 2 - A PREMIUM Ebike at an Affordable Price 

With respect, if your going to do a review, watch using terms like "amazing". My no name $1000 class 2 E-Bike comes with the same drive train and breaks, they are fine but not amazing :P

What was the difference in feel between the leval 2 and the aventure 2?? I am very conflicted between the two... I don't know which one to get!!! :( Thanks

Hi TF. The difference in feel occurs within the frames and tires. To me, Aventure2 is more motorcycle like, which makes it feel like it has a broader base, and feels heavier in foundation as you ride. I feel very safe while riding it, yet I opted for a size R (regular) because I felt like I had more control over it when I took it for a test ride. The L (Large) felt like a beast (and I really liked it!). It also has a slightly wider frame at the battery area; but as an older rider, and I wanted to be able to handle potential road hazards. The Level2 is more bicycle like, and feels lighter; perhaps more familiar. I purchased that one in a L (Large) size. I must say, I wish the Level2, which is a commuter bike, had turn signals... of which the Aventure2 has! Both bikes are amazing, and depending on your needs, you really can't go wrong. There is one minor thing to consider regarding the Aventure2: Replacing the tires (when they wear out) will most likely be more expensive than doing so with the Level2. That said, the shop owner of the store I bought mine from really likes his Aventure2, and it's considered Aventon's flagship bike. I'm not trying to sway you one way or another. However, if it is at all possible... try to take a test ride of both bikes; that will help in making your decision. All the best to you.@@tropicallyfit

Hi TF, I might add that the Pedal Assist System (PAS) is the same for the Level2 and the Aventure2. That is, they are Torque Sensors (vs Cadence) which makes your riding experience feel more like a traditional bike. It's based more on the amount of force (or push) you put into your pedaling. My wife on the other hand went for a RadRunner bike which has the Cadence PAS. That system is more directly centered on signaling the PAS through pedal rotation. So as long as you're pedaling you get assist. Whereas, the Torque PAS sends assist once it detects you are having to push harder. Anyway, there are plenty of RU-vid videos out there that explain those two systems.@@tropicallyfit

Congrats!! It is a great bike.

Thanks JD. They are a lot of fun. I would totally help answer any questions you have. I should have a lot of analog bike videos coming soon. 🙂

Just bought mine! Can't wait until it arrives!

I got the level 2 a few months back and it’s by far the best e-bike I’ve ever been on. I’m 260 lbs and 6ft tall. The pedal assist is perfect. The breaks work very well. And it has enough power to make it easy for a big guy like me. It was extremely easy to put together out of the box.

I found the noise to be better than some other brands that I have reviewed but it is there for sure. Over all it is still my favorite 500w motor commuting bike I have reviewed.

Gotta know your surroundings first with ebike repair shops that will service your bike before purchasing. Can't depend on any of these companies really for the most part. So much easier to find and have a neighborhood bike shop.

@@darrylphillips6301 Aventon actually did come through after numerous attempts so all good now. I bought online because my local dealer did not have what I wanted.

​@darrylphillips6301 I got mine from a dealer. I learned my lesson two bikes ago when I bought an email bike. And I can do almost any bike service myself including building wheels.

As much as I would have received "points" for buying direct, I went through my local dealer. For a reasonable fee, they assembled my bikes (Aventure2 and Level2) and added tire liners (to help prevent minor flats). They do a 100 mile checkup/adjustment(s) for free. I wouldn't do it any other way.

what was the reasonable fee?@@frankk1521

I know in Springfield MO Adventure Bike CO is our dealer. And they do sell and service. Unfortunately I am not sure they are super into them as they want to push people to Specialized. But they will service them if needed. Also any bike shop should be able to do any standard bike maintenance like shifting, brakes and grip. They might not service the electrical side.

With any of the rear hub motor bikes I always carry a stubby 19mm wrench with me and a flat repair kit. You will need the 19mm wrench to remove the wheel. If you have that then it is just like a normal bike.

@@RunBikeMike I had tire liners installed, so the probability of getting a flat is reduced.

I haven’t had the opportunity to ride the Radcity 5 but I can say this bike is my go to commute bike right now.

@@RunBikeMike ok...I wish there was a place to try them...I'm in Canada...thanks for the videoo

I am getting ready to release a review on the Sinch.2.

It is more of a commuter. Maybe checkout the Ride1Up Prodigy V2 or the turris. Here is a link. go.ride1up.com/SH2n

I just sold my Giant Yukon FX since I received the step-over Level2. Took the Level2 out on some hilly dirt trails and it pulled up some crazy steep terrain that I could not peddle up on the Yukon. Drop the Level2 in first or second gear, pedal assist 4 or 5; hardly believe it is only 500 watt motor. Only concern is the weight of these e-bikes is the maneuvering ability due to the weight. Traction was sufficient as long as not riding on really loose rock or sand. Go for the purchase! But don’t expect a free battery.

@@colinfitzgerald4332 Thanks Man

You can find locations at Aventon.com

I added the redshift 30 degree stem, I seat up right more plus it has added suspension.

With full charge and going max speed with the pedal assist and a somewhat hilly route yeah you are looking at around 20 miles with most bikes. Now if you lower it to PAS 3 and not 5 and you pick a not so hilly route 30-40 is realistic.

IPX4 is the rating. That is water resistant. It can handle water splashes from any direction. I would not suggest riding it in a lot of rain or leaving it out in the rain.

Yes these will work perfectly for those wheels and tires. You will want to select the 27.5" x 1.95-2.5" model. amzn.to/46Xzkqe

Tektro 2 piston

Me tooooo

Both are great bikes.

I just went for it and got the level 2.. I was thinking level 1 at first but I figured what’s a few hundred bucks for a bike that’s going to replace my car 5 days a week.

Level 2 all the way.

@@sourcejosh level.2

Really that is interesting. All my Aventon bikes have the bright keys not black ones.

Update- Aventon made good on their advertisement for free battery. It shipped yesterday.

Very good support. I hope to bring up an example of that in my review on the Sinch.2 in a week or two.

Yeah I would order it online if you can. It is cheap direct it sounds like

@@RunBikeMike shipping is over $400 if ordered online. LOL.

Oh no. Are you outside of the lower 48 states? Because shipping is showing free right now on Aventons website. At least it is gorgeous shipping to Missouri.

@@RunBikeMike Yep. on an island in the middle of the pacific

@@jjpac2011 wow very cool. So maybe $2,199 locally isn't all that bad. I am not sure how much things cost on an island but I can only imagine it is quite a bit more than here in the lower 48. I hope you are getting to enjoy some nice island weather.
