FAQ'S

minus plus
When will the Revv 1 ship out? minus plus

In-stock Revv 1 electric bike models require extra processing time and will ship out within 2-3 business days of placing your order. The Revv 1 is shipped via LTL freight to preserve quality and reduce shipping related issues.

After your order has processed and left our warehouse, please expect approximately 5-10 business days for additional transit time and delivery. Delivery appointment is required and delivery times are dependent on availability by local distribution centers.

Can I test ride an electric bicycle? minus plus

We are a direct-to-consumer electric bike company both in pricing and strategy. You will generally pay a premium for the ability to test ride an electric bike through a dealer. However, our electric bikes have been thoroughly tested by top reviewers such as Electric Bike Review, Electric Bike Report, Cycling Weekly, Clean Technica, Electrek, and many others who have published their reviews on YouTube. You can read electric bike reviews on any of those sites. Additionally, we are now supporting an independent network of owners offering their bikes for demos. Learn more about electric bicycle demos here Locations

If you purchase the Hardtail (HT) frame type, which comes with a 15ah battery, you can purchase the 20ah battery if it is in stock as an add-on. We cannot replace the 15ah battery with the 20ah battery before shipping out the hardtail bike.

Can I switch the handlebars to another electric bike model? minus plus

No, you cannot switch the handlebars on the Revv1. The variations you see on the site are the only options we have for our electric bike models.

Can you ship to _______? minus plus

We only ship the Revv 1 within the contiguous US. The contiguous United States is FREE. Currently, not shipping to Hawaii, Alaska or Canada. We are not responsible for any additional tariffs charged by your local government which are often-times applied after importing electric bikes. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship our electric bikes directly to Europe at this time. You can use a shipping forwarder like ShopUsa.com to reach your country.

Are the bikes water-proof? minus plus

The bikes are not water-proof, they are water-resistant. While we do not recommend leaving the bikes out in the rain or riding in the rain or other hazardous conditions due to personal safety, the bikes can handle low pressure exposure to water. Do not submerge in water or expose to pressurized air or water. Storing your ebike in the elements could shorten the lifespan of the electric bike.

What Is a Moped-style eBike? minus plus

The difference between an ebike and a moped-style ebike is all in design and top speed. Typically, moped electric bikes have programming and motor capabilities that allow for a higher top speed than class 3 ebike regulations allow. This is more than 28 mph, but designed for private property and technically not legal to ride on public roads at these speeds. Additionally, moped-style electric bikes are typically designed with wide tires, classic moto-inspired styling and have a retro look, akin to cafe racer motorcycles.

Our Revv1, available in Graphite Gray and Moss Green, is pre-programmed as a Class 2 e-bike, so you can ride most anywhere at twenty miles-per-hour with throttle and pedal assist. However, you can unlock the programming to reach speeds north of 28 mph. This is intended for private property only.

This agile and robust bike is tough enough to cope with the most demanding of rides. However, with its practical and sturdy design, it remains suited to any rider with a comfortable saddle, upright riding position and throttle forward use-case that provides a boost up to twenty-eight MPH or more when unlocked for “Off-Road Mode”

What Is the Difference Between a Moped eBike and Electric Moped? minus plus

A regular electric moped works on a twist-and-go basis. Akin to a motorcycle, they do not have pedals, require insurance and registration and are heavier than an electric bike because of a larger battery and frame build. An electric moped ebike incorporates a motor, does not require insurance or registration and has pedals so in theory, the rider is intended to power the bike by pedaling. This design bypasses the regulatory needs of a moped, has a smaller, lighter battery and incorporates an element of exercise that you do not get with an electric moped or electric motorcycle.

Ride1Up’s electric moped bike takes all the best bits from both types of vehicles and blends them to create something different. The Revv1 is a moped-style e-bike engineered with a café racer, moto-inspired design, giving our riders the best of both worlds.

What Are the Benefits of a Moped Ebike? minus plus

There are tons of reasons to consider an electric moped bike, commonly referred to as a moped-style ebike, whether you’re looking for a next-gen e-bike upgrade or an electric moped experience capable of more than a typical commute.

The Revv1 suits every environment, from stop-start city travel to off-road adrenaline-fueled rides and everything in between.
Variable settings allow you to ride safely anywhere, releasing higher speeds for weekend off-roading or sticking to permitted top speeds on public roads.
An electric moped ebike provides great energy-efficiency, where you can rely on the pedal assist to extend your range or use the throttle when you’re looking for a more thrilling, faster pace experience.

You’ll find the quiet motor, and lack of fumes a literal breath of fresh air, whether you’re navigating through heavy traffic or enjoying the feeling of cruising confidently for a superior ebiking experience.

How Is the Revv1 Different From a Traditional Electric Moped? minus plus

The Revv1 is a full-spec moped-style ebike with the safety features and functionality you’d expect from any premium-quality ebike–but the comparisons stop there! This exceptional electric moped acts like a hybrid between the two, with the capacity and build to cope with high-speed, rough multi-terrain off-road rides, with a super-stylish frame, rugged wide-profile tires, and a powerful motor.

Riders can commute in style, with an ergonomic frame created for comfort, and let loose on private land, by switching to Off-Road mode and unlocking speeds of twenty-eight MPH and above. If you’re after a fantastic moped-style ebike that looks incredible and adds exhilaration to your off-road adventures, the Revv1 is the only bike for you.

This is not an electric scooter, but like some of the fastest electric mopeds, we’ve added some extra-special features to boost your riding experience, with superb traction tires, a two-tone mounted display, and moto-style headlights, turn signals, horn and bright braking lights as a finishing touch.

It’s a great bike! The range is fantastic, getting over 30 miles consistently in PAS3 mode and over 25 miles in the off road mode using throttle only (for reference I’m 200lbs and live in an area with moderate hills). The tires are most definitely thorn proof. However I HIGHLY recommend getting some sealant for the rear tire mainly. I had a rusty nail puncture the tire and it was not an easy process to repair. Other than that though it’s a sturdy machine, very fun to use in the boost mode, and very comfortable to cruise around on for hours at a time. I have over 400 miles on this thing and it’s holding up great. I would highly recommend going with ride1up if you want full a full suspension rig with a powerful motor for a huge discount compared to a Super73.

The Revv 1 is everything I was looking for and more. I live in Boston, and I've been biking (non-electric) in this city for 13 years. And after 13 years, I finally got tired of pedaling. I looked around online, and the fairly unanimous review consensus was that "If you want a bike that you never pedal, get a Revv 1". So I bought it, and it's been amazing. Having a real throttle is almost addicting. It's so enjoyable to ride that I find myself taking way longer trips than I intended to. I've taken to flying around on Google Maps in search of more places to go. It's quiet and smooth and responsive. It's reliable and handles everything I ask it to. It weighs 100 pounds, but unless I'm trying to get it up or down stairs, I never notice. It's the bike of my dreams. Let's go front to back, shall we? It arrived in perfect condition, despite some noticeable damage to the exterior shipping box. Ride1Up's packing designer is top tier at their job. All the zip-ties you need to cut are green, not black, so you never accidentally cut the wrong one. There's tons of cardboard and foam padding, and even a custom welded half-box to keep the fork where it needs to be. You'll definitely want 2 people to assemble it, though it can be done (awkwardly) by one person. The tires are fantastic. They're quiet and smooth on paved roads, and they handle dirt, grass, and packed gravel like they're not even there. They even hold up on wet sand and some loose dirt. They cannot handle dry sand, loose gravel, or tree roots. But for those, you should buy the DRT model anyway. I've run over some terrain that should definitely have gotten me a flat, and they've held up fine. One of the tires was 10PSI overinflated on arrival, but shows no signs of wear due to that. I'd rather overinflated than underinflated. The brakes are way more than adequate for stopping the vehicle, and they're super low maintenance. Alignment is trivial: loosen 2 bolts, squeeze the lever, tighten the bolts while holding the lever. They do squeak a lot when it's cold or wet, but only under half power. If you pull hard, they go quiet and just work. I did find that the bolts that hold on the rear brake rotor were improperly tightened (and aren't the usual T25 bolts that hold on the front rotor). Also, one of the 6 appears to be stripping out of the aluminum hub shell. This isn't a dealbreaker, since that screw is still firmly enough in there that I don't think it's going to back out, and the forces on it are all shear forces, so basically it's acting like a pin. That said, Ride1Up, if you're listening, check your QA on the rear brake rotor. The fenders are great: very sturdy, they barely rattle even under extreme bumps, and they keep me completely dry even when going through inch deep puddles. The shocks are nice and cushy, though I will note that the manuals don't tell you how to properly adjust them, and when I took it to my Local Bike Shop and asked them for help, they flat-out told me they don't know how to properly adjust suspension on a vehicle this heavy, and to take it to the local motorcycle shop instead. I twiddled the knobs until it felt like I wanted, and it's wildly better than the 0 suspension I'm used to. The front light is plenty bright even in its "running" mode. I only need to turn on the actual low beams when I get outside street lights, and I only need high beams when I'm on a completely unlit bike trail. Those beams take a second to kick on after you hit the button (I bet they have a ballast of some sort). The throw pattern for all 3 modes is great, and adjusting the height and angle is easy. The front blinkers are too dim, and generally feel pretty cheap. They do bend if you bonk them, so they don't get sheared off. The wiring for them is also super weird, with left and right blinkers not sharing a cable back to the controller box. The wiring in general is excellent, though the wire for the left brake lever sensor is a few inches too short. I had to undo and redo the whole front wiring wrap to compensate for this, but it's not a huge deal. Absolutely everything is on waterproof disconnects, so unless you manage to cut the wires where they come out of the frame, you'll likely never need to re-thread wires through the frame itself. The steering feels great, nice and swoopy, it definitely feels like a cruiser motorcycle rather than the cyclocross bike I was used to. The bars are fairly wide (for a bicycle) so be careful when wheeling it between parked cars. The grips are great, though I immediately found myself wanting a full throttle instead of a half throttle. The controls are fine. They're simple to learn, and unless you want to get into settings, every button does just one thing. I definitely would prefer the blinker controls be on the left, because it's tricky to turn them off while throttling through a corner. I'd also prefer they be "hold" instead of "toggle" because I constantly forget to turn them off. The blinkers don't make a clicking sound like they do in most cars, since they're on a MOSFET, not a relay. Also, I constantly hit the hi/lo beam selector on accident with my thumb. The horn is Obnoxious, but I think that's ok. The manual says that you enable Walking mode by holding the - button for 2 seconds. This is no longer the case, now you have to tap M and + at the same time. This is obnoxious, and walking mode is too fast, so I just got good at barely twisting the throttle instead. The display is excellent, it's clearly visible in every lighting condition I've been in, from high noon to total darkness. I'm really impressed. The battery meter is *terrible*, and is by far my biggest complaint about the bike. I wanted a percent battery meter, and I quickly found out why it's not showing you percentage: it can't. It is not showing you the actual remaining energy in the battery, like on your phone or laptop. It is instead showing you battery *voltage*, which operates on a curve. This means that under full throttle I get about 10 miles from the first bar, about 13 miles from the second bar, and about 10 more miles *from the last 3 bars all together*. This means I basically only get to know the battery percentage to the nearest 1/3. This is really terrible, and I have literally purchased a second battery (so I can do main/reserve tanks like old motorcycles that don't have gas gauges) to get around this problem. Ride1Up: You need to compensate for voltage curve on your battery display. Even a rough, fixed curve that doesn't age with the battery is better than what you have now. Also, if you're gonna give me a volt meter, give me actual numbers of voltage, so I can learn the curve and do the math in my head as the battery ages. The battery itself is fantastic. It's compact, extremely well mounted, has its own gauge (which is also a voltage gauge, so has the same problem), and has a hard on/off switch which really helps me feel safe when working with more voltage and amperage than I've ever had my hands on before. The battery stays cool even when charging, and while the charge port looks flimsy to me, it seems to be holding up just fine. The charger is great: red for charging, green for done. It does get quite warm when charging, and draws about 240W maximum, which charges the bike from 0 to full in roughly 5 hours or so. I wish the bike-side cable was longer, or that you could buy an extension cord for it. Ride1Up, this would be a great accessory to sell. The controller box is very well designed, and the wiring inside is well organized and easy to work with. The box cover is extremely well secured, and provides a very stable mount for the extra battery and/or storage cage. The whole pedal drivetrain is fine. It will propel the bike forward, which is all that's legally required. I never use it. They did address the "chain wears out the rear triangle" issue by putting a huge rubber pad on that whole arm, as well as still shipping the little carbon fiber stickers that they used to. I don't think it'll ever be a problem. The seat is comfy, and if you're skinny like me, it's long enough for 2 people even without the passenger extension. The stitching is already starting to come undone a little, so maybe be prepared to fix it up (just some hand stitching, not a big deal). It *does* absorb enough water if you park it outside that if you ride after it rains, you will get wet marks on your butt. It's not enough water that you have to, like, wring it out, but I'd prefer a more waterproof cover, or one with differently located seams. The tail light is amazing: super bright, high up, and the rear blinkers are drastically brighter than the fronts. Those are the most important ones, so I'm pretty ok with the front blinkers being underpowered by comparison. The bike does increase the brightness of the brake light when you brake, which is a nice touch. The motor is YEEHAW. It's got exactly enough torque that if I floor it from a dead stop, I comfortably out-accelerate the cars next to me, giving me nice breathing room. It gets up to 20MPH quite quickly, and stays there, even up some of the steepest hills in Boston. It is louder than most e-bikes, but still whisper quiet compared to even the quietest gas engine. I actually prefer it to be loud like this, I want pedestrians and cars to get a gentle heads-up that I'm there. I also really love that it's not a mid-drive motor: it means I never have to worry about drivetrain maintenance. The drivetrain is a single cable and a couple non-turn washers. That's it. There is a bug in the governor, and it's very worth noting. If you go downhill into a valley, above 20MPH due to gravity, and keep the throttle on the whole time... when you go back uphill, out of the valley, you will *not* get power until you're down to like, 14MPH. This has happened to me 5 or 6 times now, and I'm deeply considering unlocking the bike (off-road mode) despite the legal ramifications, just to make sure I'm not left struggling with cars behind me getting mad. As far as after-market modifications go: I mounted my Kryptonite New York Standard U-Lock above the battery. It's about the only place on the bike where the mount doesn't sag, it doesn't interfere with the storage cage, and it's not adding unsprung weight or steering weight. I swapped the pedals for Look Geo City Grips, which let me ride comfortably barefoot. I added pressure indicator valve caps, because I'm not used to suspension on bikes, so it always feels like my tires are flat. I added EL-tape strips to the side of the bike (see picture) that I can control with the M button that powers the USB port on the handlebars, which is what I have them wired up to. It's really nice, and greatly enhances the side visibility of the bike. If you want an electric motorcycle for in-city use, that you don't need license, registration, or insurance for: buy this bike.

Wow, so many great features! This is the best e-bike I’ve ever owned. I ride it every day for my commute to work and back home. The extra cargo space under the battery and the rear rack are super convenient. I get a lot of people checking it out and asking about the brand. The seat is really comfortable, even for my 9-mile ride in the morning and 12-mile ride home. I also love riding it around my city—I actually prefer being on this bike over driving a car. Lol. Thank you so much! Truly the best e-bike!

I have been riding the REVV1 FS for almost two weeks. Absolutely amazing. Super comfortable to ride, and the getup and go is fast! I was previously riding a Jetson J5, which was good, but didn’t handle well. The Revv1 FS handles so smooth and the shocks keeps the ride like a magic carpet. This is hands down the best investment I have made in a long time.

    We live in a rural area in Arizona, this E-bike has performed as indicated and then some . Love the longer cushy sear but trimming it to be more narrow toward the top would help with smaller framed riders. I also got the middle cage for storage. A great add for those longer trips. Worth the Money!

    It’s a great bike! The range is fantastic, getting over 30 miles consistently in PAS3 mode and over 25 miles in the off road mode using throttle only (for reference I’m 200lbs and live in an area with moderate hills). The tires are most definitely thorn proof. However I HIGHLY recommend getting some sealant for the rear tire mainly. I had a rusty nail puncture the tire and it was not an easy process to repair. Other than that though it’s a sturdy machine, very fun to use in the boost mode, and very comfortable to cruise around on for hours at a time. I have over 400 miles on this thing and it’s holding up great. I would highly recommend going with ride1up if you want full a full suspension rig with a powerful motor for a huge discount compared to a Super73.


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I’m 5’6 and am on the DRT frame. It is a bit tall, at a stand-still I would say I’m on the balls of my feet but not quite tippy toes. Seats very similar to a Honda 150r

    The Revv 1 is everything I was looking for and more.

    I live in Boston, and I’ve been biking (non-electric) in this city for 13 years. And after 13 years, I finally got tired of pedaling. I looked around online, and the fairly unanimous review consensus was that “If you want a bike that you never pedal, get a Revv 1”.

    So I bought it, and it’s been amazing. Having a real throttle is almost addicting. It’s so enjoyable to ride that I find myself taking way longer trips than I intended to. I’ve taken to flying around on Google Maps in search of more places to go. It’s quiet and smooth and responsive. It’s reliable and handles everything I ask it to. It weighs 100 pounds, but unless I’m trying to get it up or down stairs, I never notice. It’s the bike of my dreams.

    Let’s go front to back, shall we?

    It arrived in perfect condition, despite some noticeable damage to the exterior shipping box. Ride1Up’s packing designer is top tier at their job. All the zip-ties you need to cut are green, not black, so you never accidentally cut the wrong one. There’s tons of cardboard and foam padding, and even a custom welded half-box to keep the fork where it needs to be. You’ll definitely want 2 people to assemble it, though it can be done (awkwardly) by one person.

    The tires are fantastic. They’re quiet and smooth on paved roads, and they handle dirt, grass, and packed gravel like they’re not even there. They even hold up on wet sand and some loose dirt. They cannot handle dry sand, loose gravel, or tree roots. But for those, you should buy the DRT model anyway. I’ve run over some terrain that should definitely have gotten me a flat, and they’ve held up fine. One of the tires was 10PSI overinflated on arrival, but shows no signs of wear due to that. I’d rather overinflated than underinflated.

    The brakes are way more than adequate for stopping the vehicle, and they’re super low maintenance. Alignment is trivial: loosen 2 bolts, squeeze the lever, tighten the bolts while holding the lever. They do squeak a lot when it’s cold or wet, but only under half power. If you pull hard, they go quiet and just work. I did find that the bolts that hold on the rear brake rotor were improperly tightened (and aren’t the usual T25 bolts that hold on the front rotor). Also, one of the 6 appears to be stripping out of the aluminum hub shell. This isn’t a dealbreaker, since that screw is still firmly enough in there that I don’t think it’s going to back out, and the forces on it are all shear forces, so basically it’s acting like a pin. That said, Ride1Up, if you’re listening, check your QA on the rear brake rotor.

    The fenders are great: very sturdy, they barely rattle even under extreme bumps, and they keep me completely dry even when going through inch deep puddles.

    The shocks are nice and cushy, though I will note that the manuals don’t tell you how to properly adjust them, and when I took it to my Local Bike Shop and asked them for help, they flat-out told me they don’t know how to properly adjust suspension on a vehicle this heavy, and to take it to the local motorcycle shop instead. I twiddled the knobs until it felt like I wanted, and it’s wildly better than the 0 suspension I’m used to.

    The front light is plenty bright even in its “running” mode. I only need to turn on the actual low beams when I get outside street lights, and I only need high beams when I’m on a completely unlit bike trail. Those beams take a second to kick on after you hit the button (I bet they have a ballast of some sort). The throw pattern for all 3 modes is great, and adjusting the height and angle is easy.

    The front blinkers are too dim, and generally feel pretty cheap. They do bend if you bonk them, so they don’t get sheared off. The wiring for them is also super weird, with left and right blinkers not sharing a cable back to the controller box.

    The wiring in general is excellent, though the wire for the left brake lever sensor is a few inches too short. I had to undo and redo the whole front wiring wrap to compensate for this, but it’s not a huge deal. Absolutely everything is on waterproof disconnects, so unless you manage to cut the wires where they come out of the frame, you’ll likely never need to re-thread wires through the frame itself.

    The steering feels great, nice and swoopy, it definitely feels like a cruiser motorcycle rather than the cyclocross bike I was used to. The bars are fairly wide (for a bicycle) so be careful when wheeling it between parked cars. The grips are great, though I immediately found myself wanting a full throttle instead of a half throttle.

    The controls are fine. They’re simple to learn, and unless you want to get into settings, every button does just one thing. I definitely would prefer the blinker controls be on the left, because it’s tricky to turn them off while throttling through a corner. I’d also prefer they be “hold” instead of “toggle” because I constantly forget to turn them off. The blinkers don’t make a clicking sound like they do in most cars, since they’re on a MOSFET, not a relay. Also, I constantly hit the hi/lo beam selector on accident with my thumb. The horn is Obnoxious, but I think that’s ok.

    The manual says that you enable Walking mode by holding the – button for 2 seconds. This is no longer the case, now you have to tap M and + at the same time. This is obnoxious, and walking mode is too fast, so I just got good at barely twisting the throttle instead.

    The display is excellent, it’s clearly visible in every lighting condition I’ve been in, from high noon to total darkness. I’m really impressed.

    The battery meter is *terrible*, and is by far my biggest complaint about the bike. I wanted a percent battery meter, and I quickly found out why it’s not showing you percentage: it can’t. It is not showing you the actual remaining energy in the battery, like on your phone or laptop. It is instead showing you battery *voltage*, which operates on a curve. This means that under full throttle I get about 10 miles from the first bar, about 13 miles from the second bar, and about 10 more miles *from the last 3 bars all together*. This means I basically only get to know the battery percentage to the nearest 1/3. This is really terrible, and I have literally purchased a second battery (so I can do main/reserve tanks like old motorcycles that don’t have gas gauges) to get around this problem. Ride1Up: You need to compensate for voltage curve on your battery display. Even a rough, fixed curve that doesn’t age with the battery is better than what you have now. Also, if you’re gonna give me a volt meter, give me actual numbers of voltage, so I can learn the curve and do the math in my head as the battery ages.

    The battery itself is fantastic. It’s compact, extremely well mounted, has its own gauge (which is also a voltage gauge, so has the same problem), and has a hard on/off switch which really helps me feel safe when working with more voltage and amperage than I’ve ever had my hands on before. The battery stays cool even when charging, and while the charge port looks flimsy to me, it seems to be holding up just fine.

    The charger is great: red for charging, green for done. It does get quite warm when charging, and draws about 240W maximum, which charges the bike from 0 to full in roughly 5 hours or so. I wish the bike-side cable was longer, or that you could buy an extension cord for it. Ride1Up, this would be a great accessory to sell.

    The controller box is very well designed, and the wiring inside is well organized and easy to work with. The box cover is extremely well secured, and provides a very stable mount for the extra battery and/or storage cage.

    The whole pedal drivetrain is fine. It will propel the bike forward, which is all that’s legally required. I never use it. They did address the “chain wears out the rear triangle” issue by putting a huge rubber pad on that whole arm, as well as still shipping the little carbon fiber stickers that they used to. I don’t think it’ll ever be a problem.

    The seat is comfy, and if you’re skinny like me, it’s long enough for 2 people even without the passenger extension. The stitching is already starting to come undone a little, so maybe be prepared to fix it up (just some hand stitching, not a big deal). It *does* absorb enough water if you park it outside that if you ride after it rains, you will get wet marks on your butt. It’s not enough water that you have to, like, wring it out, but I’d prefer a more waterproof cover, or one with differently located seams.

    The tail light is amazing: super bright, high up, and the rear blinkers are drastically brighter than the fronts. Those are the most important ones, so I’m pretty ok with the front blinkers being underpowered by comparison. The bike does increase the brightness of the brake light when you brake, which is a nice touch.

    The motor is YEEHAW. It’s got exactly enough torque that if I floor it from a dead stop, I comfortably out-accelerate the cars next to me, giving me nice breathing room. It gets up to 20MPH quite quickly, and stays there, even up some of the steepest hills in Boston. It is louder than most e-bikes, but still whisper quiet compared to even the quietest gas engine. I actually prefer it to be loud like this, I want pedestrians and cars to get a gentle heads-up that I’m there. I also really love that it’s not a mid-drive motor: it means I never have to worry about drivetrain maintenance. The drivetrain is a single cable and a couple non-turn washers. That’s it.

    There is a bug in the governor, and it’s very worth noting. If you go downhill into a valley, above 20MPH due to gravity, and keep the throttle on the whole time… when you go back uphill, out of the valley, you will *not* get power until you’re down to like, 14MPH. This has happened to me 5 or 6 times now, and I’m deeply considering unlocking the bike (off-road mode) despite the legal ramifications, just to make sure I’m not left struggling with cars behind me getting mad.

    As far as after-market modifications go:

    I mounted my Kryptonite New York Standard U-Lock above the battery. It’s about the only place on the bike where the mount doesn’t sag, it doesn’t interfere with the storage cage, and it’s not adding unsprung weight or steering weight.

    I swapped the pedals for Look Geo City Grips, which let me ride comfortably barefoot.

    I added pressure indicator valve caps, because I’m not used to suspension on bikes, so it always feels like my tires are flat.

    I added EL-tape strips to the side of the bike (see picture) that I can control with the M button that powers the USB port on the handlebars, which is what I have them wired up to. It’s really nice, and greatly enhances the side visibility of the bike.

    If you want an electric motorcycle for in-city use, that you don’t need license, registration, or insurance for: buy this bike.

    My first e-bike and watched a lot of video reviews before settling on the revv1 DRT. Wish these were around when I was a kid as they are fun. This bike puts a huge smile on my face so it’s a safer mid life crisis haha. Love it!


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I’m 6ft 3” and 270 lbs and so far have no issues getting to 20mph, even on hills which is why I picked this model.
