The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

The Level 3 is Aventon doing the commuter properly. It takes the formula that made the Level.2 a hit — a torque-sensor hub, hydraulic brakes, a suspension fork — and adds a bigger 733Wh battery for up to 70 miles, a brighter BC280 display, GPS and an integrated wheel lock, and it throws in fenders and a rack so it's genuinely commute-ready out of the box. At $1,699 it's the sensible middle of the Aventon commuter range. I haven't reviewed it on camera yet, but on paper it's one of the most complete sub-$1,700 commuters you can buy, and the included rack and fenders quietly save you money and hassle. Full review to come.

👍 What stands out

  • Fenders and a 60 lb rear rack included out of the box
  • 500W / 864W-peak hub, 60Nm, torque sensor
  • Up to 70 miles from the 733Wh battery
  • GPS tracking and an integrated rear-wheel lock
  • Complete commuter value at $1,699

👎 What to know

  • Not yet reviewed on camera — verdict and score to come
  • 67 lbs — heavier than a bare-bones commuter
  • Single frame style (see the Step-Through for a low step-over)
  • Fat-tire fans will want the Aventure instead
