Aventon Level
First on the list of the best electric bikes is the Aventon Level. It is the city and commuter e-bike equivalent of a sleeper car. The Level, like the Volvo V70 R wagon, is utilitarian and simple, but it delivers a punch. The Level has the same upright geometry, full fenders, rear cargo rack, kickstand, and understated graphics as many other commuter-styled bikes on the market. It's not until you get on the bike and flick the throttle that you discover the Aventon Level has some significant muscle hidden beneath its conservative look.
A rear hub motor provides the Level's muscle, producing 500 watts of steady power and 750 watts of peak power. A 672-watt-hour lithium-ion rechargeable battery powers the motor, which is neatly placed inside the bike's downtube. The Shimano 8-speed gearbox shifts nicely, the SR Suntour fork absorbs road imperfections adequately, and the e-27.5- bike's 2.2-inch Kenda tires rode swiftly and quietly.
