This works great on my Abound.
This is my shifter. There's ample clearance.
I didn't like the torque sensor because the lowest setting gave me more boost than I usually wanted. Then the bearings began dragging a lot under load, as in pedaling up a hill. I replaced it with a conventional bottom bracket. Any assistance came from the thumb throttle.
This twist throttle is much more comfortable and so precise that I can use it to maintain 3 mph on level pavement. I use my Abound as a utility bike. I'm usually not over 15 mph. With little air drag, 50 watts or so can make a big difference. If I want to avoid crawling up a hill, the throttle can help me maintain a constant speed, within 0.1 mph.
It came with rubber grips that I like better than any that came on my 4 e-bikes.

If you didn't know, you can have a adjustable cruise control throttle with that model, just remove the small plastic sleeve that fits in the twist part, then jamb to two parts together, this will create friction between both parts and hold what ever speed you want makes for very long battery life when you are traveling long distances etc.
I run the same throttle only on the left side on both of my rides. ymmv

Y’all are heading to the dungeon. The OP specifically asked about the Level2 and no other bike.
I’ll join you. This is my Ride1up 700 with a half twist throttle in the right. There is maybe a few mm of clearance, but the paddles clear the throttle. The bike came with a left side thumb throttle. I hated it because I can not signal and accelerate through an intersection at the same time.

Definition of CRUISE CONTROL
an electronic device in a vehicle that controls the throttle so as to maintain a constant speed; a relaxed and seemingly automatic pace that is easily maintained… See the full definition

Friction in my replacement shifter was causing missed shifts until I loosened the crosshead screw in the bottom. I think it was designed to be adjustable, but eventually the screw came loose. A dab of Permatex Screw Glue fixed that.

He asked if we'd bought the correct one, and I believe I have. There are 6 possible ways to wire the three pins, so I didn't know what would work on my Aventon until I read that this one worked on an Aventure. It stands to reason that all Aventon controllers would use the same throttle wiring because otherwise there would be a lot of hassle over replacement Aventon thumb throttles.
The collar on the inboard end of my throttle has a 47mm diameter, so if @skaz were to remove his right grip and find at least 12mm between the shift lever and the bar, it should work with this throttle. If there isn't clearance, maybe a few mm could be removed from the lever or the shifter could be moved a few mm inboard.
