The Aventon Level 4 REC is Aventon's flagship commuter e-bike — a 750W hub-drive motor with 1440W peak Boost, Class 3 capable (28 mph), 75-mile range, and the standout feature in this class: regenerative braking that recovers energy when you slow down. Built on Aventon's smart-bike platform with 4G/GPS theft tracking, geofencing, and a startup password through Aventon's Control Unit (ACU). The REC trim is the recreational-leaning Level 4 — a step-up in motor power and range over the Level 3, with the same versatile commuter geometry.

Range-anxious riders — regenerative braking recovers energy on descents and slowdowns to extend range.
Smart-bike users — 4G theft tracking + startup password + geofencing is one of the strongest theft-protection packages at this price.
