In our review of the previous generation we found plenty to love: impressive power, great range, and exceptional riding comfort. The Pace series has won over many riders with its upright posture and slightly curved handlebars, giving it that classic \u201cDutch bike\u201d feel. Aventon has sold plenty of the previous model thanks to its lightweight frame, ease of operation, and comfortable ride\u2014not to mention how simple it is to lift onto a bike rack. The frame\u2019s ability to accommodate a wide range of rider sizes is another reason it\u2019s been a hit.<\/p>\n<p>With the release of the Pace 500.3 ST, Aventon has made a handful of thoughtful upgrades. Most notably, they replaced the cadence sensor with a torque sensor\u2014a change we had been hoping for. They also refined the motor\u2019s tuning, switching from a 5-level PAS system to a more streamlined 4-level system. Naturally, we were eager to hop on the updated Pace 500.3 ST and see how these changes stack up against its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>So, did these updates do the Pace 500.3 ST justice? Read on to find out what we discovered in our full review of Aventon\u2019s upgraded lightweight commuter\/cruiser.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comparison-sec\">\n<div class=\"comparison-models\">\n<p>Bike Category:<span class=\"features\">Cruiser \/Commuter<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Class 2 E-Bike:<span class=\"features\">Throttle pedal assist up to 20 mph (can be changed to class 3 in Aventon app)<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"video-wrap\">\n<p>Aventon Pace 500 ST 2024 Video Review<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 ST Review | How Do The Upgrades Stack Up?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TabxYvUVSW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 ST Review | How Do The Upgrades Stack Up?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TabxYvUVSW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pro-con-wrap\">\n<div class=\"pro-wrap\">\n<div class=\"pro-con-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"53\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30015\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pro.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"53\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30015\"\/>Pros<\/div>\n<ul class=\"pro-list\">\n<li>A joyful, casual pedaling experience.

Riders love its lightweight, comfortable \u201cDutch\u201d style riding posture, power and handling, and its stylish looks. So why change anything? One might ask. <\/p>\n<p>Their decision to add a torque sensor to the Pace 500.3 ST really wowed us. In our reviews of past Pace 500 models we noted how lower levels of PAS didn\u2019t do much for you. But now, we see meaningful assist to all riders on the low PAS levels. The refining of the speed profile and hill climbing on all levels is markedly better. <\/p>\n<p>Whetting our appetite further is the new pedal assist design that works with the motor. Aventon engineers dumped the old PAS 1 \u2013 5 design with a new 4-level design, using Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo modes. <\/p>\n<p>Further iving your pedaling more effectiveness is the new 48-tooth chainring that replaces the 46-tooth chainring on the previous models. The earlier model had a slight issue with ghost pedaling at top speed, so the new chainring eliminated that. Also, the new chainring gives  the feeling that you\u2019re getting more out of your pedaling, because you are. Additionally, this slightly improves your battery distance range because you\u2019re actively pedaling more.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all about the pedaling though. A safe new feature we\u2019ve seen from all our recent Aventon e-bike reviews are the turn signals. For a bike that\u2019s designed to be ridden on streets, turn signals are a must-have for safety. The new signals are sleekly integrated to the point that we didn\u2019t notice them at first, until the indicator switch is activated. Riders on this new Pace will appreciate not being honked at anymore by nearby cars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_30052\" style=\"width: 1207px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30052\" alt=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through rider in action\" width=\"1197\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30052\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Aventon-Pace-500.3-ST-Action-3.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30052\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Aventon-Pace-500.3-ST-Action-3.jpg\" alt=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through rider in action\" width=\"1197\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30052\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lightweight and easy to ride, the Pace 500ST is also easy to lift onto bike a bike rack for transport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ebike-grid-image\">\n<div id=\"attachment_30054\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30054\" alt=\"Pace ST chainring\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30054\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-chainring.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30054\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-chainring.jpg\" alt=\"Pace ST chainring\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30054\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">46-tooth chainring makes pedaling easier than with the larger chainrings, while reducing ghost pedaling at top speed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_30053\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30053\" alt=\"Pace ST display\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30053\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-display-2.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30053\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-display-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pace ST display\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30053\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LCD color display is bright and easy to see under midday sun; it also works with Aventon\u2019s smartphone app to enhance your ride info.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-content performance-review \">\n<div class=\"reviews-left\">\nEarlier versions of Pace 500 The 27.5\u201d x 2.1\u201d  tires on the new model are slightly narrower than the old tires, and still provide good traction, but without the additional resistance that makes pedaling more difficult. The new tires also help increase range, slightly, and they are puncture resistant. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Aventon kept all of the other great features that make this bike so popular. They include the 12.8 amp-hour battery with the reliable LG cells, Shimano 12-38T 8-speed gearing, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, comfortable Selle Royal saddle,  and the slightly swept back riser handlebar (for that \u201cDutch\u201d feel). <\/p>\n<p>After looking at the new additions and the unchanged features on this e-bike, we were ready to put this bike through our battery of tests to see how well it performed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-content performance-review \">\n<div class=\"reviews-left\">\n<h2 class=\"post-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Circuit_Speed_Test_Aventon_Pace_5003_Step_Through_Review\"><\/span>Circuit Speed Test: Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"summary\">\n<p>The Circuit Test tells us how well the motor engages with rider pedaling and it shows us the average speed in each PAS mode. We do the first lap with no motor assistance, and record the time and calculate the average speed. After that, we did 4 more laps, one for each pedal assist mode (Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo). We can learn a lot about a motor\u2019s ability from this test.<\/p>\n<p>The chart above shows how significant the motor kicked in once we switched from pedaling with no motor, averaging 12.4 mph, to the Eco mode where we averaged 16.4 mph. The acceleration and cruising speed the new Pace gets in Eco mode is more than 2 mph faster than previous version. The Eco mode on the Pace 500.3 worked better for consistent riding than the PAS 1 on the Pace 500.2, meaning scaling down the PAS to 4 modes was a good idea. <\/p>\n<p>As we moved up to the next mode, Tour, we didn\u2019t see as significant an increase in speed, but it transitioned consistently at the same speed. This is what we want because it\u2019s easier for us as riders \u2013 and safer \u2013 that we know when to expect the motor to kick in, and at what speed. <\/p>\n<p>The rate of increase continued on to the Sport and Turbo modes, which makes for a better quality ride because there are no inconsistencies, no surprises, and nothing about the motor engagement that will throw you off. In fact this motor\u2019s output was so consistent that it made it easier for us to predict how hard to pedal, and when.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Comparing the results from this Circuit Test with the results from the earlier two models of this bike, we see a noticeable improvement in power output and energy efficiency. The new Pace version delivers good riding power in the first pedal assist level, which the prior models did not. Furthermore, the power output is more equitable at each of the levels. That means you won\u2019t have one level where the bike lags or jumps out from underneath you. This also means the motor uses energy from the battery more judiciously. And that leads us to our next test, related to energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_30052\" style=\"width: 1207px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30052\" alt=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through riding\" width=\"1197\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30052\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Aventon-Pace-500.3-ST-Action-2.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30052\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Aventon-Pace-500.3-ST-Action-2.jpg\" alt=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through riding\" width=\"1197\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30052\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Designed to accommodate riders big and small, the Pace 500ST has the power to top some of the toughest hills you will encounter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ebike-grid-image\">\n<div id=\"attachment_30054\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30054\" alt=\"Aventon Pace ST motor\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30054\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-motor.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30054\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-motor.jpg\" alt=\"Aventon Pace ST motor\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30054\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 500W hub motor provides good speed and solid hill climbing capabilities<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_30053\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30053\" alt=\"Aventon Pace ST derailieur\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30053\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-derailieur.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30053\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pace-ST-derailieur.jpg\" alt=\"Aventon Pace ST derailieur\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30053\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Shimano Altus provides 8-gear range, and shifts well<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-content performance-review shifting-gear-range\">\n<div class=\"reviews-left\">\n<h2 class=\"post-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Range_Test_Battery_Performance_Aventon_Pace_5003_Step_Through_Review\"><\/span>Range Test &amp; Battery Performance: Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"summary\">\n<p>The total distance an e-bike will travel on a single battery charge, is one of the most common questions we get. The range not only depends on the size of the battery and motor, but also the rider\u2019s style and other conditions, like terrain, weather and rider weight. Riders want their e-bike to take them further between charges, and the Pace 500.3 ST\u2019s range is sure to satisfy many riders.<\/p>\n<p>In our minimum PAS range test, riding in Eco mode, this bike went 67.79 miles on a single charge. That\u2019s 7.79 miles further than the range claimed by Aventon. In our maximum PAS range test, riding in the Turbo mode, this bike traveled 35.15 miles before running out of juice. Both of these range test results are excellent when compared to similar e-bikes, and it shows how sometimes an e-bike can show significant improvements without having to change a lot of things on it.<\/p>\n<p>The Pace 500.3\u2019s improved range can be attributed to the new torque sensor. Cadence sensors, like those used on prior models, only count the number of revolutions the pedal spins in order to determine motor power output. Often that causes the motor to crank out more power than the rider needs, and uses up more of the battery. But the torque sensor only delivers power based on how much you need. This helps deliver power that is predictable and conserves battery power. <\/p>\n<p>Re-calibrating the motor\u2019s pedal assist program also played a role in improving the range on this bike. The Eco mode on this new version provided better average speed than the PAS 1 on the previous version, affording us the opportunity to use a mode for this test that didn\u2019t use as much battery power as the PAS 2 we used for the previous model\u2019s minimum PAS range test. We got the best of both worlds: more speed while using less power. You can\u2019t beat that!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The maximum PAS range test also gave us good results. The Pace 500.3 traveled 7.1 miles further than the Pace 500.2, and its average speed of 19.1 mph was 2.2 mph faster than the 500.2. Again we see how this new setup enables the new Pace 500 to go faster and use less battery power than the previous version \u2013 good job Aventon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-content performance-review shifting-gear-range\">\n<div class=\"reviews-left\">\n<h2 class=\"post-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hill_Test_Aventon_Pace_5003_Step_Through_Review\"><\/span>Hill Test: Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"summary\">\n<p>The Hill Climb test tells us how well an e-bike is equipped to climb hills. Using Southern Utah\u2019s own Hell Hole Trail, we know this is a test of extremes. Not all e-bikes reach the top, which doesn\u2019t make them bad e-bikes, it just tells us how much raw power and torque they can muster when facing steep conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In the first test, the throttle-only test, we wondered if this new Pace 500.3 ST would reach the top. The old Pace 500 ST (V2) didn\u2019t make it. But the new bike did make it to the top in 2:09 and an average speed of 8.4 mph.  Chances are, when climbing a hill, most riders will pedal to get the bike to reach the top. It\u2019s comforting to know that this bike had enough power to make it on its own.<\/p>\n<p>In the second hill test we use the highest PAS, Turbo mode, and contribute just basic, non-strenuous pedaling. Having reached the top on the previous \u2013 and tougher \u2013 test, this Pace 500.3 reached the top in 1:28, at an average speed of 12.3 mph.<br \/>tests.<\/p>\n<p>The big takeaway here: the bike has the capability to go it alone on the steepest of hills, but the smarts to know to \u201cpace\u201d itself and give mesured assist on hills that aren\u2019t blazing time, but the battery life won\u2019t suffer either. All-in-all, it was a good hill tests that showed improvements. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_30052\" style=\"width: 1207px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30052\" alt=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through handling\" width=\"1197\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30052\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Aventon-Pace-500.3-ST-Action-1.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30052\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Aventon-Pace-500.3-ST-Action-1.jpg\" alt=\"Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through handling\" width=\"1197\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30052\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lightweight frame handles nimbly.

This is why we perform a brake test. <\/p>\n<p>The Pace 500.3\u2019s brakes worked well stopping this bike in our test. The average stopping distance was 19\u201911\u201d; using Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, with dual-piston calipers and 180mm rotors.  With this bike weighing in at 52 lbs., it\u2019s lighter than your average cruiser bike. And that helps with the braking. Heavier bikes take longer to slow down and stop. The great brake distance and nimble handling make this a viable city cruiser as well.<\/p>\n<p>Having consistent and reliable brakes is a must-have with any e-bike. So the fact that these brakes worked this well on our Brake Test means I could ride this bike with added confidence. And sometimes that\u2019s what a rider needs to have a better riding experience \u2013 added confidence in the bike he or she is riding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-content performance-review shifting-gear-range\">\n<div class=\"reviews-left\">\n<h2 class=\"post-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ride_Comfort_Handling_Cockpit_and_More_Aventon_Pace_5003_Step_Through_Review\"><\/span>Ride Comfort &amp; Handling, Cockpit, and More: Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"summary\">\nIt\u2019s nice when our team of riders agree on how they liked this part of a bike we\u2019re testing and reviewing.

The Dutch style design lives up to its name with this bike, as we all easily settled in comfortably when riding this bike \u2013 short trips and long ones.<\/p>\n<p>The 15 degree sweepback of the handlebar placed the grips in the right spot for me to rest my hands the entire time when riding.

Therefore, having a comfortable place to plant your tush will make  or break the ride. The Selle Royal saddle continues to be a choice selection of seats for this bike. In many of my reviews of other bikes, uncomfortable saddles are one of my most common complaints. But you won\u2019t read that here \u2013 the seat on this bike was always comfortable for me!<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as how grips are one of the items we\u2019re touching the entire time, some bike makers overlook that and don\u2019t make this a priority.  Aventon understands, which explains why the Pace 500 includes a really comfortable set of ergonomic rubber grips. When you\u2019re putting your hands on multiple handlebars each day, you\u2019re likely to become more discriminant toward grips. After you\u2019ve ridden the Pace 500, and then put your hands on a cheap pair of faux leather grips, and then you rest your hands on these grips, you\u2019ll notice the difference.<\/p>\n<p>If there is anything the Pace lacks it found be fenders, and the commuter crowd would like an included rack as well. Where we see this as a casual cruiser first, and a capable commuter \/ city-cruiser second we\u2019re not overly upset about it, but we couldn\u2019t be mad at fenders at least included in the future to make the value feel like a complete slam dunk.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-content performance-review shifting-gear-range\">\n<div class=\"reviews-left\">\n<h2 class=\"post-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary_Where_to_Buy\"><\/span>Summary \/ Where to Buy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"summary\">\n<p>As mentioned a few times in this review, the Aventon Pace 500.3 Step Through proves you can make a great e-bike even greater with only a few minor changes. We laud Aventon for deciding torque sensors are the way to go with this bike, and all their other e-bikes (all new Aventons now have torque sensors). The re-calibrated pedal assist and new chainring are also important parts of the equation that improve this bike tremendously.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring this bike in two different frame sizes also gives riders a better chance of getting a bike that fits them better. For the record, our offices like both frames, but if forced to pick one, we like the easier-to-swing-a-leg-over Pace500.3 Step Through model a bit more. <\/p>\n<p>Even though fenders and racks are not standard to this bike, you can order to have them added, along with other accessories to help make this bike fit your needs better. Our \u201cCheck Best Price\u201d link has the details (see below).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/electricbikereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ebr-check-best-price-btn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30841\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not by accident that the Pace 500 line is one of Aventon\u2019s top sellers. They came up with a great original design and have gradually improved it to be even better in its current form. So, if you\u2019re looking for a lightweight cruiser e-bike, that gives you good power, range, braking and is very comfortable to ride, then you should be satisfied with the Aventon Pace 500 Step Through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Riding!
