Questions people ask about this model
How much does it weigh?
The Aventon Level 4 ADV weighs 27.7 kg. That is exactly the median for its class, so it is not a light bike. You will notice the weight when you lift it or push it up a slope. If you need a lighter commuter, look at other models.
How much torque does it have?
The motor produces 100 Nm of torque. That is 33% above the median for its type. More torque means better help on hills and with heavy loads. The motor type and rated power are not published.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not listed. The top speed is also not listed. You should ask the manufacturer or a dealer for these details. Do not assume a class from the motor size.
How far does it really go?
Aventon claims a range of 177 km. MathBikes estimates 58 km, with a band of 51 to 65 km. The estimate is 67% 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 try the range calculator to see how your own ride changes the figure.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 2799 USD. That is 65% above the median for its class. The battery is 800 Wh and 36 V, with a 20 Ah charge. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge. Use the cost calculator to work out your own number.
Where it falls short
The main trade-off is price. You pay 2799 USD, which is 65% above the median of 1699 USD. For that money you get 33% more torque and 10% more battery than the median. But you do not get a lighter bike, because the weight is level with the median at 27.7 kg. You also do not get a published warranty, payload, or speed class.
Who should buy it
Buy this bike if you want strong torque and a large battery for commuting. The 100 Nm motor helps on hills. The 800 Wh battery gives an estimated range of 58 km. But you must accept the high price and the average weight.
- You climb steep hills on your commute and want 100 Nm of torque.
- You need a large battery, 800 Wh, and your round trip is within the estimated 58 km range.
- You are willing to pay 2799 USD for power and capacity, even though the median price is 1699 USD.
Look elsewhere if you want a light bike or a low price. The weight is 27.7 kg, which is not light. The price is 65% above the median. Also consider other bikes if you need a published warranty, top speed, or speed class, because those are not listed for this model.
