Aventon Level 3
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

- After the first year, users must pay a fee to keep the 4G connectivity and security features.
- The brakes lack a motor cut-off switch.

Bottom line
The Aventon Level 3 is a commuter e-bike with 27.5" wheels, a 500W motor, and a 720Wh battery. Upgrades over the previous version include theft prevention features, a wheel lock, a larger battery, a suspension seatpost, and an adjustable stem. Testers praise the smooth, responsive power, comfortable ride, and range. Additionally, the powerful brakes and handy commuter accessories are appreciated. Unfortunately, the rear light isn't brake activated, the bike can't be ridden in heavy rain, and owners must pay for 4G connectivity after one year. Nonetheless, testers feel Aventon's Level 3 offers impressive value in the e-commuter segment.
