Key considerations
- No throttle by design
- Hardtail, so rough descents are work
- Mid-drive wears chains faster; keep a spare
- Dealer network handles motor warranty
Pros
- Mid-drive climbing ability
- Large 708Wh battery
- Proper air fork and hydraulic brakes
- Priced below shop-brand eMTBs
Considerations
- Heavy for a hardtail
- Motor is a newer platform with a shorter track record
- Not a downhill bike

About Aventon
Aventon is a California-based e-bike brand that sells through its own site, Amazon and a large network of independent bike shops, which is unusual for a brand at its price point. That dealer presence is its biggest practical advantage: if something goes wrong with a Level or an Aventure, there is a decent chance a shop near you can look at it under warranty. Its current lineup covers commuters (Level, Pace, Soltera), a fat-tire all-rounder (Aventure), a folder (Sinch), a compact longtail (Abound) and a mid-drive trail bike (Ramblas).
