The Pace 5 REC is now Aventon’s only cruiser — the $1,799 Pace 4 that used to sit alongside it has gone from the store — and the specification is a good deal stronger than we could confirm before. Aventon publishes a 750W motor with 1440W peak in Boost mode, up to 75 miles of claimed range, 4G/GPS anti-theft and comfort-focused geometry, in a step-through frame. That 75-mile figure is the same as the Level 4 REC’s, from a bike $200 cheaper — and it confirms what the REC suffix means in Aventon’s naming: the hub-drive version, as against the mid-drive ADV models.

Who this bike is for
Buy it if
- Your rides are relaxed and local, and comfort matters more than speed
- You want a step-through frame — nothing to swing a leg over
- You want 75 miles of claimed range for $200 less than the Level 4 REC
- You lock the bike up and want 4G/GPS anti-theft built in
Look elsewhere if
- You commute long distances, where a commuter’s geometry is more efficient into the wind
- You ride rough ground or carry loads — the Aventure 3 and the Abounds are the right bikes
- You want the cheapest Aventon: the Soltera 2.5 is $600 less and 46 lb
- You want a published weight or load figure, neither of which Aventon shows for this model

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Aventon Pace 5 REC?
The MSRP is $1,799, or $1,739 after the $60 our referral link applies automatically for eligible new customers. It is the third cheapest of the 12 Aventon models still on sale, behind only the $1,199 Soltera 2.5 and the $1,499 Soltera 3 ADV.
What does REC mean on an Aventon?
REC marks the hub-drive version of a model and ADV the mid-drive version. The Pace 5 REC uses a 750W rear hub with 1440W peak in Boost mode, the same arrangement as the Level 4 REC; the Level 4 ADV and Aventure M use Aventon’s Ultro S mid-drive instead. For a cruiser a hub motor is the right choice anyway — lower maintenance, and no motor power running through your chain and cassette.
Is there still an Aventon Pace 4?
Not on Aventon’s own store. The Pace 4 was $1,799 — the same price as the Pace 5 REC — and is no longer listed, which makes the Pace 5 REC Aventon’s only cruiser. Dealer or clearance stock may still exist, but new stock from Aventon does not, and the Pace 5 REC publishes considerably more about itself than the Pace 4 ever did.
Pace 5 REC or Level 4 REC?
They claim the same 75-mile range and share the 4G/GPS anti-theft, so the $200 gap buys you geometry rather than performance. The Pace 5 REC sits you upright, which is more comfortable on short rides and less efficient on long ones; the $1,999 Level 4 REC adds a comfort suspension fork and seat post, which matter more on rough roads. Short local rides: Pace 5 REC and keep the $200.
Is a cruiser comfortable for long rides?
Less than it feels in the first mile, and this is the honest caveat about every cruiser. Sitting upright takes pressure off your hands and wrists, which is why it feels immediately comfortable, but it also puts more weight through the saddle and presents more of your body to the wind. Over ten or twenty miles both work against you. Cruisers are at their best on short, frequent rides.
Our take
This is a much easier recommendation than it was before Aventon trimmed the range. With the Pace 4 gone there is only one Aventon cruiser, so the agonising comparison disappears — and the spec sheet turns out to be strong: 750W with 1440W peak in Boost, 75 claimed miles matching the $1,999 Level 4 REC, 4G/GPS anti-theft, and a step-through frame as standard rather than as a variant. At $1,799, $1,739 through our link, that is the best value in Aventon’s range for anyone whose riding is relaxed rather than fast. Two caveats. Cruiser geometry is a trade, not a free upgrade: sitting upright keeps weight off your wrists but presents more of you to the wind, so it works against you the further you ride — past about ten miles at a time, the Level 4 REC is the better bike. And Aventon publishes no weight or per-model load figure here, though its store does filter capacity into 300 lb, 400 lb and over-400 lb bands, so the number exists even if the listing doesn’t show it.
