What people ask about the Aventon Level 4 ADV
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 31.1 kg. That is 2% above the median of 30.4 kg for its class. The difference is small, but you will feel it when you lift the bike onto a rack or carry it up stairs.
How much torque does it have?
The motor produces 80 Nm of torque. That is 7% above the median of 75 Nm for this type. More torque helps with starts and hills, especially when you carry a load.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not listed. The top speed is also not listed. You should check with the seller or the manufacturer if you need that detail before buying.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 121 km of range. The MathBikes estimate is 53 km, with a band of 46 to 59 km. That is 56% below the claim. The estimate uses one reference ride for every bike: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. You can adjust the inputs for your own ride with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The bike costs 1999 USD. That is 18% above the median of 1699 USD for its type. The battery is 36 V and 20 Ah, which gives 733 Wh. Charging cost depends on your electricity rate, which is not listed here. You can work out your own running cost with the cost calculator.
Where it falls short
The biggest gap is between the claimed range and the estimated range. The claim is 121 km, but the estimate is 53 km, which is 56% below the claim. That does not mean the bike is bad, but it does mean you should plan around the estimate, not the claim. The price is also 18% above the median for this class, so you pay more than a typical commuter.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who want a commuter with a throttle and strong torque. It is not foldable and not cargo capable, so it is best for solo rides on paved routes. The weight is 31.1 kg, which is 2% above the median, so it is not a light bike.
- You want a throttle for help on starts and short hills.
- You want 80 Nm of torque, which is 7% above the median for this class.
- You are fine with a 53 km estimated range and can charge at both ends of your trip.
Look elsewhere if you need a folding bike or a cargo bike. Look elsewhere if you want the lowest price, since this bike is 18% above the median. Look elsewhere if you need a published speed class or top speed, because those are not listed.
