10 reasons not to buy
- Aventon claims the Pace 4 has a brake inhibitor switch, but it doesn't. It also lacks brake light activation.
- A tester finds the battery charge port's position below the down tube awkward to reach.
- The small display’s font and graphics are difficult to read, say experts.
- A 5’11” reviewer finds the size L too long, causing them to lean forward and put excess pressure on their hands.
- A tester complains about the harsh front end while riding over cracked pavement.
- The rubber chainstay protector starts to peel off one test bike after the first ride.
- The headlight can get caught in the cabling on both sides in sharp turns.

Bottom line
The Aventon Pace 4 is a step-through e-bike with a 500W motor and 715.7Wh battery. It comes in two sizes and earns praise for its appearance, mostly smooth ride, well-tuned power delivery, ample range, effective brakes, and security features. The customizability and security features require Aventon's app, and a subscription is needed to avail of the security extras after the first year. The small display, harsh front end, and lack of included accessories disappoint, and the discrepancies in product specs are troubling. But overall, reviewers feel the Pace 4's value matches its competitors.
