Aventon Pace 350 Step-Through: real range, hills and charging
A 180 lb rider on the Aventon Pace 350 Step-Through at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 28 miles per charge (23–34 mi), using 13.3 Wh per mile. The brand claims up to 40 miles. That is about 70% of the claim. On throttle only over hills it drops to about 18 miles. It is discontinued; of the current commuter and cruiser e-bikes we track, the lowest-priced that goes as far is the Jasion EB5 Roamer ST ($699, about 35 miles).
