Aventon Level 4 REC

What the Aventon Level 4 REC is built for

The Aventon Level 4 REC is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 750 W hub motor and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a stated range of up to 75 miles (121 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Aventon Level 4 REC carries up to 300 lb (136 kg) including the rider.

In the United States the Aventon Level 4 REC sells for $1,999, above the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models.

Where the Aventon Level 4 REC may be ridden

Aventon Level 4 REC is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) under the three-class system most US states use.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 20 mph (32 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Aventon Level 4 REC safety certification

The brand's listing for the Aventon Level 4 REC does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
