Aventon no longer lists this model on its own store.
It was last listed at $1,899, and that figure is what the price above refers to — it is a historical MSRP, not something you can order today. People still search for this bike, so the page stays up to say what replaced it and whether a used one is worth buying. Dealer and clearance stock may still exist; new stock from Aventon does not.
Aventon no longer lists the Level 3. It has been replaced by the Level 4 family — the $1,999 Level 4 REC with a 750W hub motor, and the $2,799 Level 4 ADV with the Ultro S mid-drive — and the Level 3’s old $1,899 MSRP is now a historical figure rather than something you can order. We have kept this page up because people are still searching for the bike, and the honest answers to the two questions they are probably asking are worth having: what did the Level 3 actually offer, and is a used or clearance one a good buy? The short version on the second question is yes, at the right price — the Level 3 had the features that matter most on an Aventon.

Who this bike is for
Buy it if
- You are looking at a used or clearance Level 3 and want to know whether it is any good — it is, at the right price
- You already own one and want to know where it sits against the current range
- You want a Class 3 commuter with a torque sensor and 4G/GPS anti-theft for less than $1,999 and don’t mind buying used
Look elsewhere if
- You are buying new. This bike is not available new from Aventon; the Level 4 REC is the current equivalent at $1,999
- You want the current generation’s comfort fork and suspension seat post, which the Level 3 didn’t have
- You want 750W nominal — Aventon only ever published an 864W peak for the Level 3
- You want a full warranty from new, which a used bike won’t carry

Frequently asked questions
Is the Aventon Level 3 discontinued?
Yes — it is no longer listed on Aventon’s own store. The Level 4 family replaced it: the $1,999 Level 4 REC with a 750W hub motor and the $2,799 Level 4 ADV with the Ultro S mid-drive. Dealer and clearance stock may still exist, and used examples are common, but Aventon doesn’t sell it new.
What replaced the Aventon Level 3?
The Level 4 REC at $1,999, which is $100 above the Level 3’s old MSRP. It upgrades the motor to 750W nominal with 1440W peak (against the Level 3’s 864W peak), raises the claimed range from 70 to 75 miles, and adds a comfort suspension fork and a suspension seat post. It keeps the torque sensor, the 4G/GPS anti-theft, the hydraulic brakes and UL 2849 certification.
Is a used Aventon Level 3 worth buying?
At the right price, yes. It had the features that matter most — torque sensor, 4G/GPS anti-theft, hydraulic disc brakes, UL 2849 — plus 70 claimed miles and 28 mph. We would buy one in good condition below about $1,400, because the $600 saved against a new Level 4 REC is worth more than that bike’s upgrades. Above about $1,600 take the new bike and the warranty instead. Ask about battery charge cycles and whether the anti-theft unit can be transferred to your account.
How much was the Aventon Level 3?
Its MSRP was $1,899 while it was sold. That figure is historical now — it is not a price you can order at, and the nearest current equivalent is the $1,999 Level 4 REC, which our referral link takes $60 off automatically.
Level 3 or Level 4?
If you are buying new there is no choice to make: only the Level 4 is available. If you are comparing a used Level 3 against a new Level 4 REC, the question is whether the price gap exceeds the value of 750W nominal versus 864W peak, 75 miles versus 70, and a comfort fork plus suspension seat post. Our view is that roughly $500 or more of saving makes the used bike the better buy.
Our take
If you have found a used or clearance Level 3, it is a better bike than its discontinuation suggests and the deciding factor is simply price. It had the three things that make an Aventon worth buying — a torque sensor so power scales with your effort, built-in 4G/GPS anti-theft, and hydraulic disc brakes with UL 2849 certification — plus 70 claimed miles and a 28 mph Class 3 top speed in both step-over and step-through frames. What the $1,999 Level 4 REC adds over it is a 750W nominal motor with 1440W peak against the Level 3’s 864W peak, five more claimed miles, and a comfort suspension fork with a suspension seat post. That is a real upgrade rather than a cosmetic one, and it is why Aventon retired the older bike. Our rule of thumb: a used Level 3 in good order is worth buying somewhere below about $1,400, because below that the $600 saved against a new Level 4 REC buys more than the upgrades are worth. Above $1,600, buy the new bike and get the warranty. One caveat on any used e-bike: ask how many charge cycles the battery has done and whether the ACU anti-theft unit is still registered to the seller’s account, because an unregistered one is a job to transfer.
