Aventon Level 3 vs Level 4
Last updated September 26, 2026
Aventon Level 3
From $1,899
Aventon Level 4
From $1,999
If you're buying an Aventon commuter, this is the decision you have to make, and the price tags make it look closer than it is. The Level 3 sits at $1,899 and the Level 4 at $1,999 — a hundred dollars apart. Both are Class 3 bikes with the same 28 mph top speed and the same built-in 4G/GPS anti-theft. So the only question worth answering is what that extra $100 actually buys, and whether the cheaper bike is ever the smarter pick. It's a shorter answer than you might expect.

The verdict
Buy the Level 4. At MSRP it costs $100 more and gives you a 1440W peak output against the Level 3's 864W — roughly two-thirds more peak power, which is what you feel pulling away from lights and on hills. It also adds a comfort suspension fork and a suspension seat post, which matter more on a daily commuter than almost any other upgrade, plus five more miles of claimed range. Everything else is shared: the same 28 mph Class 3 assist, the same torque sensor, the same 4G/GPS anti-theft, the same UL 2849 certification and the same choice of step-over or step-through frames. That makes this an unusually easy call — a hundred dollars for meaningfully more power and two suspension components is the best value move in Aventon's range. The Level 3 only makes sense in one situation: when it's discounted far enough below the Level 4 to open a real gap. Aventon runs frequent sales, and we've seen the Level 3 at $1,699 while the Level 4 held closer to list. If you find a $250–$300 spread, the Level 3 is still a very good commuter and the saving is defensible. At $100, it isn't. Both qualify for our $60 Aventon deal, so the discount doesn't tip the decision either way — check the live prices on both before you order, because which one is on offer changes week to week.
