Aventon Level 4 REC review

The Level 4 REC is the pick for commuters worried about theft. Aventon builds in 4G and GPS tracking, unusual activity detection with an alarm, an integrated rear wheel lock and Apple Watch support, features that cost extra or are missing on most bikes here. The ride side is strong too: a 750W hub motor with 80Nm of torque that rises to 96Nm and 1,440W in Boost, a 733Wh removable battery rated for up to 75 miles and regenerative braking that Aventon says adds roughly 10 miles. A Sensor Switch lets you pick natural assist or a stronger boost, and the bike ships with a suspension fork, suspension seatpost, rack and full fenders. It was $1,799 when we checked, $200 under its regular price. The costs are weight, 68.5 lbs, and some app setup. Aventon sells online and through local shops, backs the bike with a two-year warranty and states that the battery and e-bike system are UL certified.

Who it is for
