Aventon Pace 5 REC Step-Through E-Bike — Everything You Need to Know (2026)

If you're looking for a comfort e-bike that doesn't compromise on technology, range, or real-world usability, the Aventon Pace 5 REC Step-Through is in a class of its own. It's the most advanced bike Aventon has built to date — and we have it in stock at HB Electric Bike on Main Street in Huntington Beach.

We're an Aventon Signature Dealer and Top Shop 2025, which means we carry the full lineup, provide factory-authorized service, and handle all warranty claims directly so you're never stuck waiting on a support inbox.

Who Is the Pace 5 REC Step-Through For?

The step-through frame is the defining feature here — it makes mounting and dismounting effortless, which is especially valuable for riders with limited mobility, shorter inseams, or anyone who just wants a more relaxed, confidence-inspiring riding position. Pair that with swept-back handlebars, a wide comfort saddle, and an upright geometry, and you've got a bike that feels as good on a 20-mile Strand cruise as it does running daily errands.

But don't let the "comfort" label fool you. This bike has serious hardware under the hood.

75 Miles of Real-World Range

Aventon rates the Pace 5 REC at up to 75 miles per charge — one of the highest range figures in its class. The 733Wh battery uses LG 21700 cells, the same cell format used in premium EV applications. In real-world riding (mixed assist levels, some throttle use, flat coastal terrain), expect 45–60 miles comfortably. Push it in eco mode on flat ground and 70+ miles is genuinely achievable.
