How do I know which throttle functionality my LEVEL ebike has?
-
Throttle On Demand: If your LEVEL can throttle from a complete stop, then your ebike has the Throttle On Demand functionality and should download the respective Quick Start Guide and Owner's Manual.
- Throttle After Pedal: If you need to start pedaling before the throttle can be engaged and cannot throttle from a complete stop, then your ebike has Throttle After Pedal functionality and should download the respective Quick Start Guide and Owner's Manual.
Getting Started
First, with a fully charged battery, press and hold the “M” button on the control pad for 3 seconds to power up the system. While the bike and display are powered on, press and hold “M” for 3 seconds to turn off.
The LEVEL E-Bike offers pedal assist. When using pedal assist, an electric motor supplements the rider’s own effort. To use the pedal assist, simply start pedaling, then tap the “UP” or “DOWN” arrows to increase or decrease the amount of pedal assist. Pedal assist will engage at speeds up to 28 MPH.
The LEVEL E-Bike is equipped with a throttle, which is mounted near the rider’s left thumb, to propel the bike without pedaling. The throttle can propel you at speeds up to 20 MPH.
Throttle On Demand Models: If you have the "Throttle On Demand" model, you can engage the throttle anytime including from a complete stop while in PAS 1 through 5. However, we strongly encourage you to pedal first before engaging the throttle.
Throttle After Pedal Models: If you have the "Throttle After Pedal" model, you can engage the throttle after you begin pedaling. Once the bike is moving on throttle power, you can stop pedaling entirely and use your thumb to control the speed of the bike.
The motor stops when you: stop pedaling, squeeze the brake levers, or release the throttle. Simply start pedaling again to re-engage the motor.
Battery & Charging
We recommend charging the battery off the bike indoors, in moderate temperature conditions. To charge the battery, plug the charger into the charging port and then connect the charger to a wall outlet. The LED indicator light will be red when charging and will turn green when charging is complete.

Properly maintaining your LEVEL ensures it’s longevity and smooth operation. Here is our recommended ebike maintenance guide and schedule.

Safety
You should wear an approved bicycle helmet every time you ride a bicycle, regardless of the legal requirement to do so. Additionally, some jurisdictions require helmet use when riding Class III E-Bikes like the LEVEL. You should comply with local law when riding your Aventon bicycle.
