The Level 4 REC has a significantly larger motor (750W with an 1188W peak) that outputs more power with an extended range, supported by Regenerative Braking. This means you can ride faster for longer.
Regenerative Braking, or Regen, is using the motor as a generator when it's slowing down. Converting kinetic energy into electricity, powering the main battery as the bike slows down. Toggleable while coasting and during only-braking, Regen saves on power and your brake pads, allowing you to ride further.
Yes, the Level 4 REC is rated to an IPX5 rating, meaning that you can ride in the rain, but be sure to avoid direct water spray and fully submerging the bike.
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.
*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 bought this bike new from a local dealer and put well over 1000 miles on it so far. It's amazing - highly versatile, really powerful, and I love the regen coasting and braking similar to a hybrid car. I use it for exercise, commuting to work, cruising around town, and even carrying my toddler in a Thule Yepp mounted on the rear rack. Great for the massive hills I need to tackle every day. You have plenty of glowing reviews available. Here are the negatives, since that's what you probably want to know.
-Turn signals are silent and do not auto-cancel. They time out. It's not make or break, just mildly annoying. I signal with my arms anyway to be visible.
-I'm 250 lbs, and the stock seat wasn't too comfortable on 1+ hour rides, so I picked up a new one. Not very expensive.
-I had an issue with the regen coasting not kicking in full strength when going over the speed limit set in the app, but kudos to Aventon, they seemed to fix this with a firmware update.
Nothing that'd make me question my purchase decision. If someone gave me my money back now and told me I could buy any other bike from Aventon or a competitor, I would buy the same one again.
Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed, thoughtful, and balanced review! Putting over 1,000 miles on your bike across daily commutes, hill climbs, family rides with your toddler, and workout sessions is incredible to hear.
We are thrilled that features like regenerative braking and the versatile frame geometry have made such a positive impact on your daily routine. We also truly appreciate your constructive feedback about some of the bikes features.
Hearing that you’d choose this exact same bike all over again is the best compliment we could ask for. Thank you for being such an awesome part of the Aventon community, and we wish you and your toddler many more safe, happy miles ahead!
Best regards,
Aventon

The Level 4 ADV is a bike I wish would have come out years ago. The ride is incredibly smooth even on a gravel trail and the throttle assist is incredibly helpful when starting from a stand still. I also love the flexibility with the software along with the built in GPS tracking and wheel lock functions. This bike has it all.
Hi Steve, we're thrilled to hear you love the Level 4 ADV! Thanks for sharing your experience and enjoying all its features. Happy riding!

This thing rocks!!! I absolutely love my Level 4 Rec. It's powerful when I need it which isn't too often but it's nice when passing groups of people or going up a monster hill. I only used the throttle one time, and that's because the chain fell off (completely my fault) and got jammed. The throttle took me home otherwise I would have been walking it. It's the nicest bike I have ever owned. It handles gravel and sharp corners like a dream. It's heavy though, and I had to find a better saddle because the one it came with was causing some pain. That's such a personal thing though. Overall it is a very well built bike and worth every penny.
Hi Rich, we're thrilled to hear you're loving your Level 4 REC! Thanks for sharing your experience and glad the bike handles like a dream. Happy riding!

My buddy owns 3 Aventon's and I finally took his advice and got one. I have watched so many videos and they are all pretty spot on and the packaging is VERY well done, even after FedEx beat the cr4p out of the box ha. I have to admit, I have a lot of mechanical experience, however, this thing was very easy to build - it only took me 30 min and that included going back around and double checking every ****. I will say the given bar code to scan for the video direction to build, might be a little outdated? There were some spots that seemed different, like the wiring going to the display. And the alignment arrows for said wiring was difficult to see. I did a quick 5 mile ride today, a little vibration check if you will, and everything was still nice and snug when I got back to my house. Amazing bike, I am glad I finally picked one up.
Hi James, thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed building and riding your Level 4 REC Ebike. Your feedback about the wiring guide is appreciated, and we'll look into updating the video for clearer instructions. Enjoy many more rides!
