Is the Pace 500.3 or Level.2 the Best Torque Sensor E-Bike? 

I'm with you on that one.:) Thanks for taking the time to comment.:):):) Hope you're able to use the affiliate link in the description.

I was debating the same but liked the zoom shocks on the level 2 plus the fenders and the rack. So, I got the level 2 and upgraded the handle bar to pace’s adjustable curved back one. Looking forward to riding it in about 3 weeks.

Perhaps a little known fact but they handlebars between the pace and the level 2 are interchangeable. My dealer made to change for a slight charge has made a tremendous difference on my back and neck issues

I am so happy for this comment section, because I feel exactly the same way. I'm 43 and 5ft3 and I have been renting ebikes and been riding for about 30 miles for exercise and want to make this more of a daily thing and the thought of that posture, and those damn handlebars was really making me think Pace, but that battery life was pushing me to the Level.2 lmao. I was thinking, maybe I can ask them to swap out the handlebars?!?!? Maybe they can do it?!?! Would it cost extra?!?!? Phew, then I saw the comments!!! Thank you!!!! So did it cost extra??? What about putting on the blinkers on the Level.2 or is that asking for too much?!?!? Lmao

They truly go the extra mile. :)

That's great. I'm glad the video helped make your decision easier. You're going to have a blast and will probably start a collection, lol Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing and feedback .:):) 🙂

She's going to love it. Thanks for sharing :)

That Himalayan colour is beyond gorgeous. I watched a bike shop rep.try to sell it to a couple who had a bike at home & would be sharing the new bike as well. Even though it was his wife's bike really, he was all "Do I look like a pink bike guy?" Laughing. I wanted to say You should be. It is really your wife's bike & it is an absolutely gorgeous pink!". This from a girl who's not "a pink bike girl ". Laughing. Loudly. Congratulations on your purchase & your price. You scored with an extra battery & fenders and rack - unlike the 500.3. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing

Its definitely make a quality bikeand have been around long enough to earn a good repetition.

I actually prefer the step through. Good luck with your decision feel free to use my affiliate link if it makes sense for you. 🙂🙂🙂

Definitely more of a casual riding experience. Thanks for the feedback. :):)

I find that I really do not need to be in an upright position for cursing...it just comes natural in nearly any position !😁

@@Steveoreno Thanks for sharing:)

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to comment

Nice to have the option

Did you get a suspension seat post as well?

@@mikerochester Aventon just removed the $120 Aventon Suspension Seatpost from their website. Previously, it was "out of stock". It could be, they ran out because of overwhelming demand due to enthusiastic user reviews. In this situation, I ordered cheaper $80 Aventon Glide Seatpost. Unfortunately, it has not yet shipped. I like the bike therefore I'm not gonna complain. Shortages happen. That said, the basic seat on Level 2 seems pretty comfy so far, no complaints either.

@eighthelement That's great. Makes the ride so much more comfortable. Thanks for sharing:):)

@@mikerochesterUpdate: Aventon Glide Seatpost has shipped and is to arrive Saturday. I will review it after I have a chance to try it.

@eighthelement That's great. Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree on the color that always seems to happen but at this point I probably would go with a step through only because It's much harder getting your leg over the end of the bike when you use a bike bag or anything on the back rack.

Thanks for sharing. I double checked and it still shows 52lbs On the Aventon website under specs.

@@mikerochester The specs say the Step-Through Level 2 is 62 lbs, not 52 lbs

I would say not much on street or paved trails... Sidewalks and bumpier roads maybe would notice more however a suspension seat post is a game changer.

I have the Level 2 I use the front shock on all the bad roads that seem to have cracks every two feet while riding. It does make a huge difference in the shock to the wrists when hitting the bumps. Maine roads kinda suck ..but I do love the bike .

@@crystalrain9016 You can even purchase a suspension stem. With the exception of The front suspension. The biggest difference is you'll be leaning forward on the level.2 versus sitting more upright on the pace models because they're more of a cruiser style handlebars that are adjustable.

The guy at the bike store told me the Pace doesn't have front shocks because as a cruiser bike with a more upright riding style 80% of your weight is on the seat, where with the Level being more of a "hybrid" style and leaning more forward there is more weight on the front end. Also why it has a smaller seat and straighter handlebars etc. Guess it makes sense....

Thanks a bunch for the feedback and watching:):):) they really are great bikes.

I would say the level.2 you're definitely in more of a forward posture. The pace 500.3 and Aventure are more upright. If I had a guest maybe the 500 is the most upright but you can always get a adjustable stem for the Aventure Let me know if you have any other questions and feel free to use my affiliate link in the description if you like :)

You're definitely in more of a leaning forward position on the level.2 besides some of the other specs I mentioned in the video they are two different looking bikes.

Behind the crank shaft

I have a video of the Pace 500.3 as well. The peace is more of a upright position. :)

Just get out there and do it 😀

Not quite sure that would work maybe check with Aventon support

The 2 bikes In this video are from Aventon and both have torque sensors. The Pace 500.3 And Level 2

Thanks Mike. I was originally looking at the Aventon Pace 500 V2 & from your video I realized that that model was a cadence sensor..You really helped me with this video. I was upgrading from a Hyper 700c that I am running into the ground (ride all year round including Canadian winters - destinations, laps around park/neighbourhoods for exercise &. errands including all.grocery shopping so ie. This is my car). From my 700c I knew I needed a sensor that knew I was & wanted to pedal hard and adjusted for that - ie. torque sensor. I could honestly care less about a throttle and I did about five test runs, many with throttles and I forgot to test them. Including the one on the bike I purchased, laughing. I had gone into the shop thinking I was going to buy the Gazelle Medeo.I wanted that one very badly. Also tried one of the newest NCMs. Many test runs, was in the shop for hours as this is a can't make a mistake kind of purchase.. But unfortunately the fit was so off on the Gazelle for me & the NCM was one size & didn't feel big enough somehow (but what a fantastic bike) - my 700 c is huge. I also looked at the Level 2. The minute I got on the Pace.500.3 I just knew instantly. Years ago I took almost.two.months of various test drives to buy my Specialized Roll, same feeling of "that's it". I redid the test run on the Gazelle twice after that, including with my own seat. Because I wanted to work for me. It was better but still "off' for me. Because of you I knew everything I needed to know. Aventon names some of their bikes so similar (ie..Pace V2, .3 & Level.2) even the bike shop says it is hard to keep in their heads, and one of the reps told someone the 500.3 was a cadence sensor by accident. So I appreciate you & your review. And for anyone reading, please do test runs - you can think "this is my bike 💯" and the fit is awful.These are major purchases, even if one is well-off.

@@lita4458 thanks so much for the compliments and I'm glad my video helped you select your next e-bike. :) keep us posted how you enjoy it and thanks for taking the time to comment

I'm surprised you're finding that with a torque sensor on PAS one had you reached out to the Aventons tech support?

@@mikerochester So far just a chat. Hoping to get access to buried settings.... They must be there.

@@MichaelMiller-y5z Thanks for sharing

I tried both yesterday and agree wholeheartedly. The Pace gives a nice gentle level of assistance whereas the Level felt like I was being shoved forwards. I too found the Level louder than the Pace. I have chosen the Pace, even though after adding fenders the price is the same. It’s about feel, and the Pace was just better for me.

The Pace 500.3 because I like the cruiseing posture.

Both have torque sensors. The Pace 500.2 has a cadence sensor. Check out my video.

Thanks for sharing

Mostly because the Level 2 is 11#'s heavier? Just my guess.. Both are nice looking bikes, hard to choose!

Definitely budget friendly, Thanks for watching. :)

Some display harder to see with polarized glasses also depends haw dark the glasses are

@@mikerochester had the pace 500.3, saw nothing, had to buy non polarized, hd ray bans

I'm just trying to show the facts of these two bikes side by side. I like both of these bikes. It's your opinion that will matter. And thanks I'm pleased to even have close to 2,000 subscribers:)
