The step-through Level 3 keeps the standard bike's complete commuter package — 733Wh battery, hydraulic brakes, fenders and rack — but drops the top tube for an easy, low stand-over that suits riders roughly 4'11" to 6'1" or anyone who prefers to step through.

The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

The step-through Level 3 is the complete Aventon commuter with the top tube taken out of the way. You keep the 500W (864W peak) torque-sensor hub, the 733Wh battery and up to 70 miles of range, the hydraulic brakes, and the included fenders and rack — but the low stand-over makes it far easier to mount, stop and step off, which matters most in stop-start city traffic. For shorter riders or anyone who prefers a step-through, this is the Level 3 to get, at the same $1,699. I haven't reviewed it on camera yet, but it's one of the most complete easy-mount commuters going. 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
