First off I am looking the lightest Aventon. I live in an apartment, 2nd floor. I currently ride a bike with cadence sensor. I understand some of the Aventon have dual sensors? The Adventure is too heavy so maybe a Pace will work? I googled the weights but the weights seem to vary depending on the site I visit.
Which Pace have cadence sensors or dual sensors?

Hello! We are pleased to inform you that we offer several bike models that feature the ability to switch from a cadence sensor to a torque sensor with just a click of a button. This innovative feature is available on all of our latest releases equipped with the new hub-drive motors utilizing ACU technology. Below is the list of models that support this capability:
- Abound SR
- Abound LR
- Level 3
- Pace 4
- Aventure 3

Glad to see more manufacturers moving to dual-sensor PAS. Brilliant solution for hub-drives!
Bought my wife's 50 lb Velotric Breeze cruiser largely for that reason. (Velotric was the only major brand offering it at the time.) We both strongly prefer torque-sensing over cadence-sensing PAS for general riding, but there are times in our hilly area when cadence-sensing works a lot better for her.

Ugh that’s the bike I want
but short a few bucks. Guess I need to save a bit more. It looks perfect for my situation. Pretty sure pace bikes around 60lbs

Not a fan of buying bikes on specs alone without actually riding them, so I strongly recommend testing both the Breeze and the Pace.4 before deciding.Ugh that’s the bike I want
We tested the Breeze and Pace.3 at the time. The Breeze won her over, mainly on weight and dual-sensor PAS, but a different rider might have gone the other way. Don't know what the Pace.4 weighs, but if close to 50 lb, it probably deserves a try.
Have about 30-40 miles on my neighbor's Aventon Level.2, and I'd say the overall build quality is comparable to the Breeze's.

The Dahon K-One is much lighter than both of them. The range is a lot shorter.

Totally understand wanting a lightweight bike. My fitness/gravel ebike is 38 lb sans cargo.
My wife was also adamant about it, and rightly so. Easier to carry and lift and turn in place when stopped, and more responsive in every way when riding. On a cruiser or commuter with ample power for target terrain, I value these advantages much more than the easier climbing and slightly extended battery range.
I'd definitely go for dual-sensor PAS if at all possible. If you haven't experienced torque-sensing, you'll quickly see its charms under the right conditions.
Yea I do admit I am curious about a torque sensor lol thus why having dual would be ideal…I think. Funny talking to a colleague right now and he is looking for a used ebike I think. Hope he comes back with the price he mentioned. I would be able to buy the breeze.

From the list, the Pace 4 would be the lightest bike at 58.2 pounds, including the battery.
