Aventon Pace 4
The Aventon Pace 4 is a lightweight, upright cruiser-style commuter that replaced the Pace 500.3 in Aventon's lineup, adding a bigger 733Wh battery, SensorSwitch (flip between torque and cadence assist), and built-in 4G GPS security. It ships as a Class 2 throttle bike but unlocks to Class 3 (28 mph) in the app.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓At 53 lbs it is one of the lighter and more manageable hub-drive commuters out there, making it noticeably easier to lift onto a rack or carry up a few steps than the heavier Level 3.
- ✓The Pace 4's SensorSwitch tech lets you flip between torque-sensor and cadence assist on the fly, so power delivery can be as natural or as effortless as you like.
- ✓The upright, swept-back riding position is genuinely comfortable for casual riders and people coming back to cycling who do not want an aggressive forward lean.
- ✓The 733Wh battery is a big jump over the old Pace 500.3's 614Wh pack, backing Aventon's 70-mile range claim in low assist.
- ✓It comes with integrated turn signals and a tail/brake light, which is unusually safety-forward for a relaxed cruiser-commuter at this price.
- ✓The step-through frame option and low standover make it very accessible for shorter riders and anyone who values easy mounting.
Cons
- ✗There is no suspension fork at all, so on rough pavement or gravel the ride gets harsh quickly compared to the suspension-equipped Level 3.
- ✗It ships without fenders or a rear rack, so you will be spending extra to make it errand- and rain-ready out of the box.
- ✗The 500W motor and upright, less-aerodynamic posture mean it is not the climber or the speed demon that sportier 750W commuters are.
- ✗Like other Aventon bikes it requires the app and an account to unlock Class 3 speeds, which some buyers find an unnecessary hassle.
- ✗The cruiser geometry and tall handlebars are comfy but trade away the sporty, planted feel that more aggressive commuters deliver at 28 mph.
