I haven’t ridden the Aventon Pace 4 Step-Through. This profile is built from Aventon’s official product page, checked on Oct 23, 2026. Every number below comes from that page unless I mark it as my own math, and I explain what each one means for your rides.
Should you buy one?
On paper, the Pace 4 is a big step up in battery and tech from the Pace 500.3 I tested. For $1,599 (as of Oct 23, 2026) Aventon lists a 733 Wh battery, a torque sensor, hydraulic brakes, a 50mm suspension seatpost and 4G/GPS tracking. The trade-offs on paper: the motor is 500W with 60 Nm, the fork is rigid, and the total weight limit is 300 lb.

Pros and cons (from the specs)
Pros
- 733 Wh battery at $1,599
- Torque sensor
- 4G/GPS, alarm and keyless battery
- Boost mode (Aventon says up to 120% for 30 seconds)
- Battery shared with the Level 3, Aventure 3 and Abound
Cons
- 500W and 60 Nm
- Rigid fork
- 300 lb total limit
What the specs mean on the road
500W, 60 Nm. Moderate power for a commuter. The torque sensor and Boost mode help on short hills.
36V 20Ah, 733 Wh, up to 70 miles. A large battery for a light commuter. Range will drop with throttle use and higher speeds.
Torque sensor. Assist follows how hard you press the pedals, which should feel smoother in stop-and-go traffic than an on/off cadence sensor.
Rigid fork, suspension seatpost. Your hands take the bumps; the 50mm seatpost softens what reaches your back.
58.2 lb. Light enough for most riders to manage, and the 8.7 lb battery comes off.
Class 2, convertible to Class 3. 28 mph where allowed.
How it compares to bikes I’ve reviewed
- Aventon Pace 500.3: the earlier Pace I tested, with a 614 Wh battery and 27.5 x 2.1 in tires at 54 lb.
- Aventon Level 3: a commuter I tested with the same 733 Wh battery size.
Who it’s for
- Commuters who want range and theft tracking
- Riders who prefer a step-through
- Shorter riders (from 4’11”)
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders over 300 lb with cargo
- Riders who want front suspension
