Aventon Control Unit’s 4G†/GPS† capabilities introduce an array of new features.
- GPS Location - GPS positioning is performed periodically and the position is updated to the Aventon app.
- 4G cellular communication - The ACU communicates with cloud servers over 4G cellular networks.
- Geofencing - Set boundaries where your ebike is allowed or not allowed to go.
- Report lost - With 4G subscription, the motor assistance can be disabled from the Aventon app, and the bike’s motor will stop functioning.
- Remote shutdown - The Aventon app can remotely control the shutdown of the ACU via Bluetooth or 4G network.
- Alarm and Motion sensor - Now you can remotely detect movement and security verification failure, all from the Aventon app. After the shutdown, the ACU’s built-in accelerometer will continuously monitor for vibrations (such as being moved, falling, etc), and will report it through the 4G connection when detected.
- Status report - With 4G, whether your bike is on or off, the ebike status info like location and battery is directly uploaded to the cloud server when the Aventon app is not connected. Through your Aventon app, you can also receive updates on ebike status and change notification frequency as desired.
- Ride statistics summary - During your ride - mileage, duration, start/end locations are recorded and uploaded to the cloud server via Bluetooth or 4G, even when your Aventon app is not in use.
- Transportation Mode - All functions such as status reporting and vibration monitoring can be turned off. For long-distance transportation, reducing the use of ACU’s 4G, can save battery power.
Aventon ebikes like the Level 3 are built to the IPX5 water-resistant standard. An IPX5 rating means the bike is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This provides a moderate level of water resistance, allowing you to ride in light to moderate rain or through small puddles. However, IPX5 does not mean waterproof—Aventon ebikes are not designed for full submersion. Avoid using a pressure washer or high-pressure sprayer to clean your ebike, as pressurized water can still damage components.
Aventon does not sell conversion kits. All Aventon bikes are already designed with electrical components, such as integrated batteries, motors, and sensors for an optimal riding experience.
Taking care of your ebike battery is an integral part of getting the most out of your Aventon ebike. Here are a few things to remember:
- 1. Charge your battery regularly to avoid fully draining your battery’s stored energy or voltage.
- 2. Use the right charger. Only use an Aventon branded and proper model charger (Be sure to place the charger brick on a flat, non-flammable surface like metal or concrete. The charger brick will conduct heat while charging.)
- 3. Avoid overcharging your ebike.
- 4. Avoid extreme temperatures. Store and charge the battery in a climate-controlled area, keeping it away from both extreme heat and cold.
- 5. Maintain the right level of charge. The battery should be stored at 75% charge to its health.
- 6. Avoid heavy loads. Do not exceed the bike’s recommended maximum capacity.
- 7. Keep your battery, terminal, & ports clean.
Some Aventon models, such as the Level 2, Level 3, Abounds, Sinch 2, & Aventure 2, come with pre-installed fenders and a rear rack. Additional accessories are available for purchase. Explore a wide-range of Aventon accessories, including helmets, locks, bike pumps, and so much more to add to your next riding adventure.
All Aventon-branded frames, framesets, components, and batteries come with a 2-year warranty. Learn more about the Aventon warranty.
Electric bikes require regular maintenance tune-ups similar to traditional bikes and cars. To get the best performance out of your ebike, regularly check tires, tubes, chains, battery, and brakes, or visit a local bike shop for professional assistance. Performing a pre-ride safety check helps maintain your ebike, as well as staying up-to-date on non-electric component maintenance and repairs.
The torque sensor design is more intuitive for the rider at high and low speeds, it’s more efficient, has smoother power delivery, and is less prone to damage as the sensor is internal opposed to the external cadence sensor.
*Aventon has the right without notice to the consumer to substitute components of at least equal quality for advertised Aventon ebike components in the event of the unavailability of such advertised components. More info.
*Prop 65 Warning: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
*Boost Mode allows your bike to output up to 120% of it's max torque and power for up to 30 seconds at a time. More info
**Max range is estimated based on a rider weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) on a paved, flat road, in Eco Mode, with Ride Tune set to the default settings. Actual range will vary depending on rider weight, terrain, weather conditions, tire pressure, and cadence.

†Certain features of this electric bike require a 4G data connection. A complimentary 4G connection subscription is included for the first year, beginning from the product service registration date. The 4G connection subscription service enables seamless access to advanced connectivity features including, but not limited to: GPS Location, 4G cellular communication activation, 4G cellular communication, Lost bike reporting, Remote Shutdown, Periodic status reports, Riding statistics summary information, Alarm and operation prompt sound, Vibration monitoring when powered off, Periodic status reporting when powered off, Transportation Mode, Key information synchronization, and Geofencing. After the first year, a paid 4G connection subscription will be required to maintain access to these services. Please note that data subscription fees and terms may apply.

I purchased the REC 4 as I had previously been impressed using another model on vacation
The REC 4 is a great bike for suburban and urban driving and as well with acceleration on hills and makes riding a breeze. The four boost level levels enable you to ride with a level of assist to your own choosing. Very satisfied with the purchase.
Hi there,
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that your experience with our bikes on vacation inspired you to choose the Level 4 REC for your own collection. It is wonderful to know that the four levels of pedal assist and responsive hill-climbing power are making your rides such a breeze. Thank you for choosing Aventon, and happy riding!
Regards,
Aventon

This is our third Aventon Bike. Sold my Adventure 2 and just got a Level 4 Rec. It's a nice mid-way point between the Adv 2 and the wife's Pace 500. So far, with all the new features etc., really like it over the Adventure 2.
The Adventure 2 did ride nice, but was a bit bulky to load on a bike rack, work on, and maneuver around. It seemed like a small motorcycle at times.
Level 4 Rec is a lot more nimble, easier to load, and has some really great features that you can't find anywhere else in the market for the price. Great value!
Every bike we've bought came in great shape, with no issues, and easy to assemble. Excellent quality!
Bike number four in the future? Let's get some miles on these two first! LOL But, when it comes time again, Aventon will be the first place we look.
Hi Tony,
Welcome back for bike number three! It is awesome to hear how the Level 4 REC hits that ideal middle ground for you between the heavy-duty Aventure 2 and your wife’s Pace 500. Getting that lighter, more nimble handling while still keeping top-tier features makes loading up for rides so much smoother. We appreciate your loyalty to Aventon over the years, and we hope you and your wife log plenty of great miles together before you even think about number four!
Regards,
Aventon

The bike is better than my level 2 in every way, except the charging port. You shouldn’t have to take the battery off each time to charge the bike. It’s not easily accessible. That’s the only negative I see with the level 4.
Hi James,
Thanks for following up! We are so glad to hear the Level 4 REC feels like such a major step up from your Level 2 across the board. You actually do not have to pull the battery pack out every time you charge, like you might be used to doing. The frame has a built-in charge port on the lower section of the down tube, protected by a small rubber dust cap. Just peel that rubber flap back and plug the charger directly into the bike frame; no unlatching or battery removal required. If you ever have trouble locating the port cover, our support team is always happy to guide you!
Regards,
Aventon

This is my first bike, and first e-bike. Ordered the bike on sale, and it came straight to my door. Instructions and tools made setup really easy. Was able to start riding immediately and the features and build make me confident to be able to get on and go. Great bike!
Hi there,
Thank you for your review. We are honored that your very first e-bike is an Aventon! It is fantastic to hear that your order arrived smoothly, that assembly was straightforward with the included tools, and that you were able to hit the road right away with confidence. Hearing how much you love your new ride means the world to us. Thank you for choosing Aventon, and welcome to the Aventon family!
Regards,
Aventon
