Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that will occur while riding, this manual
makes no representations about the safe use of bikes under all conditions. There are risks associated with
the use of any bike that cannot be predicted or avoided and are the sole responsibility of the rider.
GENERAL INFO
Assembly and Fit
Correct assembly and fit are essential elements to ensure your bicycling safety, performance, and comfort.
Even if you have the experience, skill, and tools to complete these essential steps before your first ride,
Aventon recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic to check your work.
NOTICE: If you do not have the experience, skill, and tools to complete assembly and fit, Aventon highly
recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic complete these procedures as well as any future
adjustments or tuning.
NOTICE: A critical aspect of assembling your bike is securing the front wheel and checking the tightness of
the rear wheel axle nuts. Aventon bikes use bolted on, through axle or quick release front wheel mounting
mechanism and the rear wheel is bolted on. These mechanisms may become loose or unsecured during
shipment or over time. The torque and security of all wheel mounting hardware should be inspected upon
arrival and on a regular basis. Both wheels need to be properly secured before operating your bike.
Mandatory Equipment and Use Locations
Before riding, ensure you have all required and recommended safety equipment and are following all laws
pertaining to use an electric bike in your region. For example, these laws may specify the need for
mandatory equipment, use of hand signals, and where you can ride.
Changing Components or Attaching Accessories
The use of non-original components or spare parts can jeopardize the safety of your ebike, void your
warranty and, in some cases, cause your ebike to not conform with laws pertaining to your bike.
02

Safety Check Before Each Ride
Always check the condition of your bike before you ride in addition to having regular maintenance
performed. If you are unsure of how to conduct a complete check of the condition of your bike before every
ride, you should consult a certified, reputable bike mechanic for assistance.
Electrical System (Applicable to Pace 500, Pace 350, Sinch, Level, Aventure)
The electrical system powers several components on your ebike that control dierent operating conditions
and user preferences.It is critical that you familiarize yourself with all aspects of your ebike s electrical
system and check to see if it is working correctly before every ride. The front and rear brake levers contain
safety power cuto switches, which disable the hub motor s assistance when applied, and both levers
should be checked for correct operation. The throttle should provide smooth acceleration when gradually
applied. If the throttle, brake lever cuto switches, pedal assistance, or lighting are functioning abnormally,
intermittently, or not working, please discontinue the use of your ebike immediately and contact the
Aventon Support team for assistance.
Brakes
Ensure that the brakes and their system components are free from damage, properly secured and working
correctly. When fully squeezed, both front and rear brake levers should not be touching the handlebar. Take
your bike to a certified, reputable bike mechanic to have the brakes repaired if you find a problem.
Tires and Wheels
Your wheels should always spin straight and must be repaired or replaced if they wobble side to side or up
and down when spinning. If your wheels become untrue or spokes loosen, which can happen with normal
use, we recommend that a certified, reputable bike mechanic performs all wheel tuning and truing
operations on your bike from Aventon. Do not attempt to true wheels or tighten spokes unless you have
adequate knowledge, tools, and experience. Ensure the tires and inner tubes are in good working condition
without any visual damage and have the correct amount of air pressure. Always replace tires and inner
tubes with punctures, cuts, or damage before you ride. Tires without the correct amount of air pressure can
reduce performance, increase tire and component wear, and make riding your bike unsafe.
Accessories, Straps, and Hardware
Ensure all hardware is secured and all approved accessories are properly attached per the specific
component manufacturer s instructions. It is good practice to look over all hardware, straps, and accesso-
ries before each ride and if you do discover something wrong or something that you are not sure about,
have it checked by a certified, reputable bike mechanic.
Suspension, Handlebar, Grips, and Seat Adjustments
The suspension fork on your ebike will aect the handling of the bike so you must understand how it works
before use. The suspension fork should be properly adjusted according to your weight and terrain. Ensure
the handlebar and handlebar stem are properly aligned, fitted to the user, and secured to their recommend-
ed torque values. Handlebar grips should not move easily on the handlebar end. Loose, worn, or damaged
handlebar grips should be replaced before you ride. The seat and seatpost should be properly aligned,
fitted to the user, and the seatpost quick release should be properly tightened, fully closed, and secured
before riding.
03
The replacement of original components or installation of third-party accessories or accessories
not from Aventon explicitly recommended for your bike model is at your own risk. Using
aftermarket accessories or components that have not been tested by Aventon for safety and
compatibility may void your warranty, create an unsafe riding condition, damage to property or
your bike by Aventon, or result in serious injury or death.

Battery Charged, Secured, and Unplugged
Ensure the battery is adequately charged and operating properly. Ensure the battery charger is unplugged
from the outlet, battery, then stored in a safe location before you ride. The battery MUST be locked onto
the frame battery mount properly before use. Do not operate the electrical system if the battery is removed.
WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Throttle on Demand
With throttle on demand, you can throttle the bike from a complete stop. This feature is to help give you
that extra push when you need it on a steep hill, when hitting multiple stops signs, etc. However, we
strongly recommend to pedal first and throttle second to ensure proper stability and preparedness.

outlet, then from the battery.
3. On you next use, ride your ebike normally.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the first three rides for a total of three (3) battery balance charge sessions.
5. After the third balance charge and fourth ride, begin normal charging procedures including:
 Charging the battery after each ride according to the Battery Charging Information section.
 Removing the charger from the battery shortly after the green charge light indicating the battery is full,
which will typically occur between 3-7 hours.
 Never leaving the battery charging for longer than 12 hours.
 Never leaving the battery/charger unattended while charging.
Repeat battery balancing steps 1-5 only after a period of long-term battery storage (see the Long-Term
Battery Storage section), if experiencing noticeable range decline, when instructed to do so by Aventon
Support, or up to once per month with frequent use as proactive battery maintenance.
Do not perform battery balancing more than once per month.
