Aventon Level 2 Review: 2 Ratings, Pros and Cons

The new torque sensor is a fundamentally different experience: the Level 2 has a much more natural bike riding feel compared to its predecessor
The torque sensor also helped improve battery life while keeping the same 500W motor / 672 Wh battery combo as the previous level
While we liked the Zoom brakes we tested on past Level models, we?re happy to see Tektro hydraulic brakes as they are reliable performers that are easier to get serviced
We loved the look of the blue Level we reviewed, but we think all 4 color options (white, pink, blue, clay) hold a lot of visual appeal compared to the previous gray color
The 8-speed Shimano Acera drivetrain is as responsive as ever and provides adequate gearing for going up or down hills
The color display is easy to read, and the downloadable Aventon app pairs with it nicely to enhance your overall experience
All the contact points are performance-oriented enough for a serious commuter, while comfortable enough to warrant spending over an hour in the saddle
