So, you’re in the market for a new e-bike, and you’ve come across the Ride1Up Revv1. With its motorcycle-like design and powerful electric motor, it seems promising, but is this electric bike worth it?
For this Ride1Up Revv 1 review, I took this handsomely equipped electric moped tout on numerous rides to assess its handling, performance, top speed, and more. I’ve tested a few handfuls of e-bikes before, so I have a lot to compare it to. And I can tell you, this is entirely different from anything I’ve ridden before.
Combining the performance perks of an electric bike with the power of a moped, the Ride1Up Revv 1 is a standout among moped style electric bikes. Its sleek design, resembling a motorcycle, certainly makes an impression. Ride1Up has become well-known for their affordable, high-quality e-bikes, and the Revv 1 is no exception.
In this in-depth Ride1Up Revv 1 review, I’ll share my thoughts and insights on everything from assembling the Revv 1 to riding and transporting it. I’ll cover the pros and cons, examine the components and features, and evaluate alternative e-bike options.
Let’s get rolling!
Ride1Up Revv 1 First Impressions
Right out of the box, I could only think one thing: this e-bike looks SICK. With its low seating position, headlamp, and dual-crown suspension fork, the Revv 1 resembles a motorcycle more than it does a conventional e-bike.
During my first test ride, I found the Revv 1 incredibly easy to ride. I enjoyed the handlebar twist throttle, which really makes it feel like a motorcycle and is very easy to control. I wasn’t sure how I would like the low seating position (it’s definitely not a normal bike position) but found it surprisingly comfortable. The position isn’t as good for actually pedaling though. To me, this is meant to be used mainly with the throttle and pure motor power, not pedal power. The bike pedals, but it’s not a multi-speed e-bike, which means it relies primarily on motor power to propel itself forward.
The one bummer out of the box was that my Revv 1 was delivered with a broken headlamp bracket. I was disappointed, but customer support was fantastic and shipped a new part that arrived within two days. Replacing the bracket entailed unplugging multiple wires, veering beyond what I would call standard assembly.
I have to give a huge shoutout to the Ride1Up support team, though, because they delivered exceptional customer service that also veered beyond what I would call standard…
