The Aventon LEVEL.2 is finally here and with the updates we've been waiting for. Most significantly is the introduction of a torque sensor, this creates for a much better on bike experience for better and more intuitive riding. Other new features are the integrated lights keeping you prepared for riding no matter what time. The LEVEL.2 is equipped with fenders and a rack as well to further keeping you ready for your commuting needs. With a price tag of $1799 the Aventon LEVEL.2 is a fully capable and turn key electric bike to allow you to begin commuting with ease.
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.
If you're interested in the LEVEL.2 head over to Aventon's site for more information: bit.ly/3YX2txv

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.

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.

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.

Here's one real life example: The other day, I rode 25 miles at PAS 5, some hills but mostly flat, not very windy day. (Weight on the bike on the way out was 115 lbs, and on the way back was about 140--i.e., me plus about 25 lbs of groceries.) Only used 42% of the battery, which I thought was great, given that I was in PAS 5 the whole time. So, with a quick extrapolation to get total range: I could've gone more than 50 miles in PAS 5, and more than that in a lesser PAS.

@@specialist-in-tech Yeah, I found it to be really duplicitous, that they stated it the way they did. So much so that it put me off from buying the bike initially. (I did eventually make my way back to buying it, because it had the features I wanted at a price I could afford, and I didn't find any other options that met my needs as well as this bike does. But I'm still pissed that they listed the weight that way, and they almost lost a sale because of it.)

Aventon's weight is without the battery, I believe. Their website is light on specs. I just did my first long ride today on my new Level 2 and this bike is fun! Love the torque sensor. The reach is a little more forward than I like, so I switched to an adjustable stem and it's much better. Also got a Redshift suspension seatpost and Ergon GP1 grips. Great ride!

Great review. How loud is the noise from motor>I just bought this bike and it is very quiet, only on pas 5 is it loud and only when under load. Lower pas levels you will hardly hear the motor. This is my first e-bike, I am so glad I waited for a torque sensor in this price range with lights, brake lights, fenders, shock forks and 500+ watt motor. I was looking at trek and price was 3700 to get all these features and that didn't come with a throttle which was highly important to me. There are times I will want to use it as a moped. I highly recommend this bike. I think only one other bike offers throttle and torque sensor. The cons: the seat is not comfortable and no seat post shock absorption so I will be adding that. Yes, it is heavy but needs to be. My normal speed it 12mph average, on a good day pushing it maybe 15mph over 12 miles. The e-bike I found myself always going 15+. To handle speeds to 28mph, the frame is much more robust and the rear rim spokes are double the thickness of my bike. The motor provides more power than normal human can, so everything needs to be beefed up.

How will this bike perform on country dirt and gravel roads and crushed gravel surface rail trails? Interesting in recreational multi surface riding, not mountain biking. Ty
@ElectricBikeJournal
@ElectricBikeJournal Год назад
We think it will fair just fine on country and gravel roads. There is a slight weight penalty if you wanting to get down to the nitty gritty, but we wouldn't hesitate to cruise down and dirt path. Obviously the options are plenty to make it perform even better down the road with a fork upgrade or more aggressive tires, but in its stock form you shouldn't have much to be concerned about.
@otterishly777
@otterishly777 Год назад
I'm finding it fine for gravel or dirt double track, but a bit too heavy to control well on single track (even mellow single track). In other words, it's fine off of pavement as long as they are fairly straight or gradually curving (like dirt/gravel roads are), but I'm not liking it on sharply winding trails.

Within the app, you are allowed to adjust your speed limiter. Once you adjust it that is the new setting. No need to do it every time. We think this can be good for changing that setting for riders of different experience and ability.
