Get up to $300 off these Aventon e-bikes today: Pace 500 and Level 2

Aventon e-bike Level 2 riding on the trail
Aventon

While there are a few e-bike brands, one we tend to feel favorable about is Aventon. In August, for example, we gave the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike four and a half stars in our review. In 2023, we also gave the Aventon Soltera.2 city e-bike four and a half stars. We liked Aventon e-bikes so much that we even ditched our car for a whole month. So, you better believe when there’s a great deal on Aventon’s excellent e-bikes we’re going to shout it from the rooftops. That’s exactly what’s happening right now. Two of Aventon’s best, the Pace 500 and the Level 2, are discounted by $200 and $300 respectively. One is a versatile anywhere bike, while the other is best for long-range rides and commutes. Let’s get into it.

Why shop the Pace 500 and Level 2 Aventon e-bikes during this sale?

Aventon e-bike Pace 500 riding and cruising on the road

One of the most interesting things about Aventon’s approach to e-bike models is that they come in different variants. Those versions have similar features and specs, but they’re tailored to a specific activity. For instance, the Pace 500 comes in a Step-Through version, and a more powerful, traditional cruiser version. The Step-Through is easier to use and doesn’t have the middle bar allowing you to step through the frame to mount it — hence the name. The Pace 500 offers up to a 60-mile range on a single charge. It also features a top speed of 28 miles per hour thanks to a 500-watt motor.

Comparatively, the Level 2 comes in the traditional Commuter style and an alternative Step-Through style. It also offers a 60-mile range on a single charge with a top speed of 28 miles per hour but has a much more powerful 750-watt (peak) motor.

Now, I know what you’re thinking here. What’s the difference between the Pace 500 and the Level 2? If you really want to get into the weeds, they’re both e-bikes, they both have about the same specs, and both would work for just about anyone. But realistically, the Level 2 is excellent for long-range cruising like commutes, sightseeing, city rides, and beyond. The Pace 500 is more of a casual cruiser for joy rides, exploring, and maybe even a quick grocery or store trip. That’s the other thing that’s so great about Aventon’s e-bikes: There are a bevy of add-ons you can use like a hitch rack to stow some cargo.

As for features, you get a backlit LCD display mounted on the handlebars, an intelligent torque sensor, integrated lights with turn signal functionality, pedal assist and throttle, and puncture-resistant tires.

What are the deal prices on these Aventon e-bikes?

The prices are the real highlight here thanks to the current sale. These two Aventon e-bikes come out to $1,599 for the Pace 500 — normally $1,799 so $200 off — and $1,599 for the Level 2 — normally $1,899 so $300 off. Those discounted prices are good for both the regular and the Step-Through versions, whichever you prefer. Hurry, though, I’m not sure how long these low prices are going to last.

If you like to cycle or you're thinking of getting into it, the advantages of an e-bike should be fairly obvious. An electronic bike is essentially just a bicycle with an electric motor attached. This lets you ride the e-bike without using the pedals at all, much like a motor scooter, or you can use the pedals to provide some of your own power to extend the e-bike's effective range. That electric motor can also give you a boost when you need it, such as when you're pedaling up a hill. And unlike a motor scooter, if the e-bike's battery runs out of juice, you can still use the pedals to get around just as you would with any normal bicycle.

Best pressure washer deals: Up to $110 off Greenworks and Kärcher
The Greenworks GPW3001 Pro electric pressure washer, placed outside.

There's something very therapeutic about pressure washing things, and if you've spent any time on the internet, you've probably seen a few videos here and there. Of course, it's also great for cleaning things, and there are luckily quite a lot of options out there, including some great budget options if you just want to dip your toe in. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite washer deals for you below, including some of the best pressure washers for cars, which you do have to be a bit careful with not to strip the paint or clear coat.
Greenworks Pressure Washer Combo Kit -- $100 $220 55% off

While this Greenworks power washer doesn't have as high a PSI, around 1,900 PSI, it is a lot more portable and a great option if you want something that's smaller and easier to take around with you. It comes with a 35-foot power chord and a 20-foot hose, so you get quite a bit of distance. If you are somewhere rural and need to clean stuff that doesn't have a power cable nearby, this is perfect. Besides that, we also appreciate that this comes with an 11-inch surface cleaner, which isn't something common with a lot of other power washers, even more expensive ones. Just be aware that you do need a My Best Buy subscription to be able to get the discount.

Juiced Bikes sold at auction for $1.2 million, report says
The Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 adds more power, upgraded tires, and an improved battery to the popular moped style e-bike.

Juiced Bikes, the San Diego-based maker of e-bikes, has been sold on an auction website for $1,225,000, according to a report from Electrek.Digital Trends recently reported how the company was showing signs of being on the brink of bankruptcy. The company and its executives had remained silent, while customer inquiries went unanswered and its website showed all products were out of stock. In addition, there were numerous reports of layoffs at the company.Yet, the most convincing sign was that the company’s assets appeared as listed for sale on an auction website used by companies that go out of business.Now, it appears that Juiced Bikes’ assets, including a dozen patents, multiple URLs, and the company’s inventory in both the U.S. and China, have been sold at auction, according to the report. It is likely that the buyer, who remains unknown, can capitalize on the brand and the overall value of the 15-year old company. Founded in 2009 by Tora Harris, a U.S. high-jump Olympian, Juiced Bikes was one of the early pioneers of the direct-to-consumer e-bike brands in the U.S. market.
The company had quickly built a reputation for the versatility of its e-bikes and the durability of their batteries. Over the years, the popularity of models such as the CrossCurrent, HyperScrambler, and RipCurrent only bolstered the brand’s status.Last year, Digital Trends named the Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 as the best moped-style e-bike for 2023, citing its versatility, rich feature set, and performance.Juiced Bikes’ getting sold quickly might be a sign of what consulting firm Houlihan Lokey says is a recovery in the North American e-bike market.
The industry has had a roller-coaster ride during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: A huge spike in demand for e-bikes had combined with disrupted supply chains to create a supply/demand mismatch of “historic proportions," Houlihan Lokey said.
