Great info thanks. We looked at one of these today - a 2024 edition but it looks pretty much the same. We want an electric bike but can’t carry it on the car when we tow our caravan. It pretty much ticks all the boxes for us

I stopped driving automobiles over 40 years ago and never looked back!! I got tired of all the money I spent just to keep a car running. I used to cycle 50 miles a day from 1995 to 2002, but i mostly ride less than 7 miles today. I'm 60 years old now, and not being dependent on automobiles saved me a fortune! I was able to invest well over $400,000 dollars since I stopped driving. 🍷🍷😎

Looks like Revos has copied the Austrian company Add-E that was selling the same in 2013 already. The big issue with these conversion kits is the amount of noise, when compared to other e-bikes. On a moped it's acceptable, but with an electric bicycle I'd feel ashamed.

They forgot to adjust the assistance speed limit to 32 Km/h, even though I had reminded them that I lived in Canada and he had told me that he would do so. Plus they were missing a part to attach the sensor to the crankset....

The only constant between ebike conversion kits is that no matter the bike you mount it on, it will make it UGLIER

first of all it doesn't fit every bike and you had better make sure it fits yours because if it dissent they will not refund your money. its over priced, you have to wait almost a year to get it and then if there is a problem, TOO DAMN BAD

Thanks for this review. I think I live in the same hilly city as you and was wondering if it would get you up Prior Park easily or if I should go for the Go++ (worth the extra £70?). The website says the batteries all have the same torque, yet the wattage is different. Should I go for the biggest watts living in Bath? Thank you!

Once the battery loses its capability to charge, what's the guarantee that it will still be in production? I assume there's no way to replace the cells yourself.

Swytch seem to mostly just supply replacement batteries for the current versions they sell. However, if you have an older system, Swytch offer upgrade versions which includes battery, cables and comtroller, but you use your existing motor wheel.

When I hear or see no disclaimer of any kind in a video, not even in its the description, it is implicitly stated that the reviewer has purchased the product at retail price and has not been given any compensation of any kind. If it's not the case, it's fraudulent advertising and I have and will never have any trust in the reviewer, especially one that comes from traditional media. In the present case, my instinct says that the viewer is being lied to by omission. I don't trust this guy. I expect my comment to disappear if I'm right. And remember, even if a correction is made, it's too late. This guy knows better. I would like to be proven wrong.

@@EvilijoUK there are a lot of hacks available to increase max speed on a variety of ebikes ( possible because other markets like the US have different laws,), but ebike suppliers have to ship to conform with whatever law applies.

Hey thanks for the review! You mentioned that you got 3 commutes done on a single charge how much would you say that is in miles/km? wanted to know if it’s accurate enough for the range they have mentioned on the battery. I was looking to purchase the exact same battery size for my bicycle as i think its the best value out of three and i want to start working for uber eats so i want something that stays up for 4/5 hours on a single charge . Thoughts?
