The commuter e-bike category is becoming crowded fast—for good reason. From the utility perspective, e-bikes offer one of the clearest alternative modes of transportation when it comes to cost savings. And beyond the economics (and environmental considerations) of reducing your reliance on fossil fuels, there’s the pure fun factor of a new way to ride to work or run errands. Start narrowing your search for the right do-it-all steed with the latest evolution of Aventon’s flagship commuter e-bike, the Level.3. With its sub-$2,000 price range, the Level.3 is purpose-built to deliver more comfort, range, data, and security and a sleeker ride than its competitors (and even its own predecessors) in this busy field.
First, Level.3 stands out visually thanks to its silky-clean frame. Aventon has long been known for clean welds and refined silhouettes, but the Level.3 takes the Southern California bike manufacturer to another level with a new gravity-cast design. Instead of welding together multiple tubes by hand—a common method with traditional aluminum bike frames—gravity casting involves pouring molten aluminum into a precision mold using the force of gravity. The result: a single, more unified structure with sleek, flowing lines from the head tube to the dropouts. By removing bulky weld material and rough edges, gravity casting gives the Level.3 a polished appearance, plus structural strength that helps dampen small bumps during a ride.
And the Level.3 isn’t all looks. Its 500W motor and 708Wh battery offer a class-leading 70-mile range. That’s up to ten extra miles compared to its predecessor. Aventon’s Ride Tune system and reworked motor improved the range by over 14 percent.
“It’s a commuter’s dream,” says Aventon product marketing manager Blake Robinson, pointing to the overall balance between the brawn of the motor and battery and the nuanced feature set that delivers a remarkably smooth ride. The Level.3’s front suspension fork, suspension seatpost, and adjustable stem absorb the buzz and bumps of city streets and rough patches of damaged road. The bike is also equipped with commute-friendly features like integrated fenders to keep those work pants clean on wet roads and a hardy rear rack for hauling groceries or gear.
The brain behind the Level.3’s elevated connectivity is the Aventon Control Unit (ACU), which houses an impressive suite of smart features usually reserved for high-end electric vehicles: 4G LTE integration to enable real-time GPS tracking, remote locking and unlocking, and geofencing, all accessible through the Aventon app. That added level of security means if your bike ever moves without your permission, you’re alerted and can track its location with pinpoint accuracy. The ACU also acts as a ride buddy and data-crunching coach. It automatically syncs ride data to your smartphone, dishing insights on distance, speed, battery usage, and efficiency.
Clean lines, electric motor muscle, cutting-edge technology, and nuanced ride details make the new Aventon Level.3 an ideal choice for riders who want to trade in car miles for bike miles this year. The adjustable stem and suspension seatpost create comfort that makes the commuting choice easy while, Robinson adds, “the ACU technology provides peace of mind that you’ll never have to worry about losing your bike.” And its attainable price also adds another level of comfort when picking your next ride from the crowded field of lesser e-bike commuters.
Aventon Bikes are dedicated to inspiring adventures, big and small, in all terrains of life, whether it’s on mountain trails or rolling through urban neighborhoods. It’s that simple. Take the ride that moves you.
