WHICH ONE IS BETTER? Aventon Level.2 vs Aventure.2 #aventon #ebike #electricbike

Obviously they are different enough that one can't just put the difference down to a couple factors. On distance though, I have to believe that the Level 2 will go further side by side than the Adventure. 750W is 50% more than 500W. It was clear from your hill climb that this is a major climbing difference. But on a rolling terrain, 750 is 50% more power available with only a slightly larger battery and a significantly heavier bike. I think side by side on rolling terrain with a few 5% mile-long hills, an Adventure rider will tend to push the power use (fun!) and thus end up out of power sooner.
Does it matter? Not if you tend to go 40 miles or less. But if you like to push the distance, the Level 2 should go further. The Adventure is great for looking like you're on a motorcycle and have "the power". It has 'cool factor'. The Level 2 seems preferable for those who don't need or want to get there faster, but do want to go farther.
Since you live in hilly territory AND have both bikes, a side by side 50 to 60-mile ride would be interesting.

Great video! Do you know what motors they use? I see them advertised as Bafang sometimes, and then Shengyi in others? Sometimes even on the same model. Do you know by any chance please?

My wife and I rode the Aventon Level 2 last week and loved it. We have't ridden the Adventure 2 because we store our bikes upside down on hooks in the garage and we thought it would be too heavy to lift up on a regular basis. But, I am wondering as a newbie to e-bikes if we would regret not buying the Adventure 2 since it is more off-road capable? We don't have any experience with e-bikes and don't know if riding on more off-road trails is something we want to do yet? Is the extra 24 pounds of weight and being more off-road capable worth it?

I am heavy and the Level 2 can't handle people who are obese. I am getting the Aventure 2.

Bikes are decent but the customer service terrible.

Dumb question. Can I just change the rear wheel on my level to a 1000w motor for more power?

Weight is not affected by gravity. It doesn’t matter how much the bike weighs.

Gravity pushes all objects at the same rate. I know this is against popular belief.

I find it odd that everyone says the Level.2 has a max range of roughly 60 miles. I have one of those bikes and I used PAS1 all the time, I am getting closer to and over 100 miles easily. In fact I just rode my bike two days ago, did 84 miles round trip and still had maybe a little over 32% battery left...
My biggest complaint about this great bike. Dont think about riding it with PAS off. Seriously, it is crazy hard to pedal. Feels like pedaling through molasses... or kinda deep water. An the seat. It is awfully uncomfortable. The leg contours leading to the main seat area get too wide too abruptly. I know it is a commuter, but the seat off the soltera 7 was a much more comfortable ride for me.

Great review

I have the Aventure 2 and the wife the Level 2. I wanted a little more power and she opted for something she felt she could control. We both feel we made the right choice. The Aventure two is definitely more stable while the Level 2 is quite a bit more nimble. I don't think you can go wrong with either bike. I am surprised that once the Aventure 2 is up to speed on a level road, that I can switch the assist mode to off and still keep the speed up due to the bike's momentum.
One problem I didn't think of with the Aventure 2 is finding a bike rack that can handle the beast. Have not yet seen a review that even considers this problem. While most ebike racks can handle the Level 2, I could find only a couple that would take the Aventure 2, due to weight, fat tires and fenders. I was not looking forward to hefting that thing into place, so we were looking for either a lower rack or one that had a ramp. I thought we were going to have to go with a motorbike rack, but finally found a bike rack that fit our needs. It is expensive (cost almost as mcuh as the bike) and back ordered. I'm still glad I got the Aventure 2, but finding a rack is definitely a plus for the Level 2.

Great review Thanks Guys

The best range I have gotten on my Level 2 is 43 mi . On my level 1 I got 67 miles out of a charge not the happy with the 2 after 2300 mi.

I have the Aventure.2 and absolutely love it! I day dream about riding Mon-Thur while in uni. Fri-Sun I am out there hitting trails while getting footage with an action camera and going from one location to another for photography / videography for my phone and Drone. Nothing comes close in Aventons line up of how cool and rugged the Aventure looks.

If Aventon used the same gear on both bikes, I would have gone with the Level 2!!

Just fyi, ‘weight’ alone has no bearing on rate of fall. Gravity pushes down at same force regardless of weight. Google it. Cheers 😊

Can you ride the ebike in heavy rain? Will it shock me or screw anything up?

We are the manufacturer for High end E-Bikes in China.💪💪

I wonder if your thoughts would be different if you weighed a lot more? They list different payload capacity, I am close to 300#, but will want to bring home some groceries from time to time, I anticipate adding panniers.

is the 15lb difference a concerning factor?

Love the level 2 for my wife who is only about 5ft 2 or 3 on Good day, but, she likes cruiser type upright ride.. Not sure this offers that(though I might or could switch out the handle bars or add an adjustable stem... But the aventure 2 seemed tiny but more upright??? And just more fun.. I'm stuck between these two and the magicycle ocelot pro surprisingly as lot of reviews looked fun and easy for shorter rider and upright. Any feedback be great!!

Great review!

Feels like the obvious answer is to buy both. 😊

its quite surprising even with the massive tires the adventure is faster then the level. too bad the level doesnt have a 750w motor.

What is the best all around commuter?

Which one is suggested if mainly commuting a few miles and my area sucks at snow removal....especially ice removal. Plus, they don't take care of the sidewalks very well (uneven, cracks, holes, etc) and riding in street during winter isnt very safe in my area. I know studded tires are wanted and fat tires werent a thing last time i was biking so they are new to me.

Easy choice, adventure for !00 more.

I have a Level 1 with 4000 great miles. Today I looked closely at the Aventure2 at a shop. They aren’t close to being the same. The Aventure 2 is a tank, the Level 1 is almost dainty compared. Getting the Level in my large SUV is tough enough, but getting the Aventure in there will be a bitch. I would love have such a contrasting bike in my garage.

You guys made a video that was perfect for my purchase decision! Thank you! I ended up going with the Adventure 2. Even though most miles would be one the pavement, it has the capability to “adventure” on those back roads in the PNW and beach and snow. Just picked it up yesterday and already I love it!!!

Are they reg or large frames?

Decisions, decisions. I like the weight of the Level 2 but I prefer the looks of the Aventure 2 and its larger motor. I want the step-through and I think the looks of the A2 is much better, even though that's purely subjective. I live in the PNW and could see myself going off road or in drizzly conditions quite a bit. This bike will never be used for commuting by me, only recreation. I wish the A2 was 15-20 lbs lighter. Thanks for this comparo.

Adventure is an amazing bike. I like riding it more than my motorcycle

I'm so used to seeing the Level.2 in white, I was confused for a second lol

Hey guys, great review. This is just what I was looking for in reviews, regarding both bikes from Aventon. I had wished Aventon had upgraded the Level 2 motor to the 750w. That would have been almost the perfect e-bike. Some say that full- suspension would make a more complete bike, but I will disagree. “ It’s a bike “ not a cushy motorcycle. Besides, it does have front wheel suspension. Again, great comparison.
On a side note… the location you chose to do the review, I guessed was Mt Tabor in Portland, Oregon? I grew up as a kid playing all over that location… perfect for biking. E-biking that is….

After watching this I realized my 1000 watt rear wheel ebike kit with a 48v 20amp battery is far better then these two bikes in this video.

Plus the ebike kit only cost me $600 and is built on a 26 inch chromoly Trek mountain bike, the mountain bike that I got used at a garage sale for $5. My ebike compared to the adventure 2 is just a little over a thousand dollars cheaper! 😂

Note my ebike also has the exact same thumb throttle as those Aventon bikes have.

Being 66 years young I’m nervous about the weight but in NE Wis area a lot of gravel roads n dirt fire lanes I can ride.

Plan your life around an e-bike and avoid the wealth draining....

DMV fees
Monthly insurance
Energy costs
Car washes
Driving tickets
Parking fees
Towing fees
Impound fees
Accident claims
Theft concerns
Requests for free rides
Road blocking breakdown
Road rage risks
Getting cut off
Auto body shops
Mechanic rip offs

That first test result alone is worth the extra cost

Has anyone ever put mountain bike tires on the Level 2? I just don't think I want that big heavy venture 2.

I live in SW Florida where there are absolutely no hills.I weigh 145-150 pounds. I'm buying the Level rather than the Aventure for one main reason: The major difference in the weights of the bikes. It's almost inevitable that some day I'll either get a flat tire or have some other mishap that requires me to push or pedal the bike back home. The Level isn't a light bike, but compared to the Aventure it feels like one. [Side note: It's odd that the Aventure comes with turn signals but the Level, which is designed for commuting, doesn't. I can't understand Aventon's thinking on that one.]

So, what were the battery levels after your tests?

Where is the torque sensor located on the Level 2? Most people would just assume that it issn the bottom bracket, but there are other types of torque sensors too. Please let us know what type of torques sensor is on the Level 2. Thanks!

We are in our 60’s and trying to lift an Adventure 2 can be tough. We bought a Level 2 and put offroad tires just to cruse on dirt roads and trails. So much fun without the weight.

Pro tip: Get the level 2 for commuting and get a full suspension GT eForce Current for off-road at $2,500.

Great review!

I love my level 2 and my friend loves his adventure

Looks like PNW to me....where?

I'm completely new to e bikes but have done a lot of conventional riding. Trying to decide between the step-through and step-over. The former would be easier (and faster) to leap off in an emergency w/o getting tangled up but wonder about the structural factor of the bike. Since you both have step-overs is that your preference?

I’m looking to get a fat tire bike because I live in the Mojave Desert. My girlfriend and I already own an Aventon Pace with cadence sensor and another more expensive e-bike with torque sensor at her house in the Ventura area. The cadence sensor is more fun and my girlfriend zips past me on a hill when she is riding the Pace. I’m huffing and puffing when I ride the torque sensor bike up the hill.
