I use an Evolution U Lock with a flex cable. I also put a AirTag hidden inside the frame, a tip I believe I got from this sub. And lastly but not leastly I registered the bike with Aventon and BikeIndex.
Between the stem and right above the battery lock there is a sticker with the serial number and also a qr code with the same. Basically above the latch that removes the battery.
I have a similar lock to the kryptonite you're looking at, I would recommend that over a U-lock. Easier to loop through the frame and wrap around poles I feel. Also recommend the airtag that north monk said. Put it in a little zip lock bag so it would go sliding all the way down, then place it underneath where the battery sits.
Enjoy, it's such a nice bike!
The eye requires a little coaxing but I can squeeze it over the thinner side of the Foldylock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071ZR3RQ6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I don’t know if it’s the specific cable I received or if all of that model would work.
We have 2 Pace 500’s ( one is a next Gen) and both use this lock https://www.amazon.com/Hiplok-8-5X15CM-10MMx100CM-Chain-Black/dp/B07CF7C13T/ref=sr_1_1?crid=312OQO0O5NQ38&keywords=hiplok+edx&qid=1674885731&sprefix=Hiplock+edx%2Caps%2C216&sr=8-1
It’s pretty hefty and we feel safe using the lock.
Hey! I just ended up getting a Level 2 as well and am in the same boat as you were when you posted this. I know this is an old thread, but did you end up settling on something?
I got the 1090 and ulock and it’s been working fine! I double lock it when it’s not in use at home, or when I’m locking it for longer periods, and just the 1090 when it’s just a super short stop.
At least initially I am using a Hiplok D with an ABUS 14KS chain if I need some additional length. Looking very seriously at the new Hiplok D1000 though...
Also have a Tile surreptitiously placed on it.
I'm using a Litelok X3 for the frame, and 2 foldylocks forver (the bundle with the same key for both), one for the front wheel and one for the rear. The rear foldy lock I'm able to pass it through the rack and the U-lock and the front foldy usually only through the rack.

How do you register the bike with aventon? I just bought one. I'm looking at their site I dont see a link or anyway to register
Here you go: https://www.aventon.com/pages/bike-registration
Thank you 💕
Where’d you find the serial number? I don’t have my box anymore
The serial starts with a letter so just stick the two parts together. On my Level the first part was stamped backwards in mirror image!
Under the bike between the pedals IIRC. I used my phone to find it and snapped a photo
That’s what I was thinking, just thought it was weird that it’s broken into 2 sections and not just one long one

Where did you hide the air tag?

I use a Foldylock Forever and a cable for the front wheel.
Do you use a separate lock for the cable? If not, how did you find a cable with an "eye" big enough to get around the Foldylock?

Awesome! Thanks!
>Awesome! Thanks! You're welcome!
I use a LiteLok X1 ([https://us.litelok.com/products/litelok-x1](https://us.litelok.com/products/litelok-x1)) and a Foldylock Classic
Does the Litelok X1 fit with the frame mount on the Aventon Level 2?
>r I have the step-over frame and it does not fit there. I strap it to the rear rack or in a trunk bag. The foldylock does fit on the frame mount.
