Bottom line
The Pace 500.2 is a remake of Aventon’s most popular everyday-ride e-bike. It can be configured in Class 3 (reaching 28mph), or confined to Class 2 and a top speed of 20mph (depending on your local laws). The 614.4Wh battery is larger than the previous 557Wh model, for more range. Name-brand parts are refreshing on a value-oriented e-bike, especially when it comes to replacing parts. These include Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and a Shimano Altus drivetrain. Some reviewers find that, until riders adjust to it, the bike’s assist can be powerful and possibly jarring. The battery is now elegantly recessed into the Pace 500.2’s frame.Expert Reviews
