Horrible Super73 Copycats Will NEVER Rival the Ride1Up REVV 1

[@FoundingYouTuber-2005]

My neighbor bought the soft tail version of this bike. As a super bike rider (2 X Ducati, 1 x Yamaha R1) I was super impressed with this moped e-bike. So impressed that even though I have five e-bikes I'm thinking of adding a soft tail REVV1 to the stable. Like you said, I was also very very impressed with the build quality of this little thing. It really does feel and ride like a miniature of one of my motorcycles. Everything is tight and right with this bike. One can tell the engineers put a lot of thought into this bike, and the builder didn't mess it up with any of their skinflint ideas. Good review Matt.

[@kimhyunwoo8983]

Honestly I wouldn’t mind the hard tail if it wasn’t that for that extra $500 you get 5 more amp hours, full suspension, turn signals, dual crown fork, better tires and a better controller. Idk if it’s just part of the marketing strategy but honestly I don’t think it’s a bad one but it’s surprising how many differences there are between the frame types.

[@TailHappyTV]

fair points

[@calvin3448]

they should make it exactly like the full suspension, but without the full suspension

[@Reprogrammed_By_SEGA]

@@calvin3448 No rear suspension means your spine becomes the suspension and I'd guess the hub motor probably takes quite a bit more punishment too.

[@Nautilus94_]

hold down the minus button (lower the peddle assist button) and it will turn on off-road boost mode, give ya quite a bit more acceleration at the initial start :)

[@Nautilus94_]

oh and the boost mode top speed is 35mph and I am 250lbs and I can get it going 35

[@GenkiMadGaming]

I bought the hard tail and immediately regretted not just getting the dual suspension 😢

[@zerokool-2058]

I’m happy with 30 mph on it, as long as it has really good range.

[@BrashFink]

No one else in these reviews seems to be talking about how the hardtail has completely different front forks. The light DOES move with the Full suspension version.

[@slargo83]

Great review man! I definitely think I'll be going with the FS model. Another thing to note about the FS model is the tires are better too 👌🤙

[@norbertkovacs3989]

And it has turn signals too!

[@TailHappyTV]

Great points!

[@aaronscheuman]

I have a Revv1 and love it, but I also immediately wanted more power/speed. It's been a month or two and I think it's Sur Ron time. If you're going to spend the money on this, the Talaria XXX is wildly powerful and $3k (though that price is likely soon to increase once Luna Cycle restocks). Just my current thoughts despite my extreme appreciation of my Revv1. I will say also, my battery gave out in 1 month on my Revv1, and currently waiting on a new one. Kind of wish I would've looked a little deeper before pulling the trigger, but nevertheless love this thing.

[@RubiksBotES]

I am considering buying one of these for the suburban campus I am moving to. Just need a bike that can travel 10 miles or so for groceries, gym, ect. Would you recommend this or another alternative? Also hardtail or suspension? Ill be in the midwest, so that means snowy suburban roads. The fat tires seem good for that application.

[@aaronscheuman]

@@RubiksBotES It's honestly a great bike, and hard to go wrong, especially for the purposes you described. I have the hard tail because a rear shock and a little more time riding wasn't worth $500 to me. I'm glad I didn't get the more expensive one now because I already want to sell it for a bit faster bike. I also have never run the battery to 0% and have done some long rides, so the extra battery hasn't been necessary yet. I live in the midwest but it's been summer since I got it so I can't speak to the snow yet. It handles surprisingly well on dirt and gravel, so I'm sure it'd do great for cruising around campus even with a bit of snow. If you're looking for a fairly low key bike that can get to 35+ mph, this is a great one. It'll do 10 miles easy. You can buy a little storage cage that they make for it but you'll probably have to get a little creative with where you're going to carry the groceries, depending on how many groceries you get.

[@bigb69ti]

i have been looking at these mopad dirt type style ebikes. it seems like all the pretty good ones go for around 2k+ but looking at that talaria xxx for right under 3k seems kinda tempting. 60v 40ah. you think a price increase will happen?

[@aaronscheuman]

@@bigb69ti Unfortunately, from what everyone is saying, seems likely the XXX will probably jump in price once it's back in stock. Luna Cycle is the only one I know selling it yet. I've heard people speculate it'll be closer to $3500 to $3700, but that's probably mostly guessing. Honestly, though, in comparison to an annoyingly expensive Super 73 that won't be nearly as fun, the XXX will still be a good deal. It won't be far off then from a Sur Ron or faster Talaria price-wise, though, if it jumps close to $4k. I think it just depends what kind of money you want to spend. If you don't care about going as fast as possible, get a Revv1. They're great, and inexpensive compared to Super73, and mine will do 35 mph which is still cruising.

[@bongo2011]

As someone with a 650cc street motorcycle, I can tell you power is not an issue riding in the sand uphill or not. Also sand is not a good way to gauge if something is good "off road". Sure it's not road but trails have different gravel and dirt and some rocks. Which handles differently than beach sand.

[@victorijeh9521]

Imagine buying this just for the beanie

[@1bottlefed]

I hope Ride one will incorporate a few small changes on the soft tail, the rear swing arm pivot....Make it as wide (bearing to bearing) as possible. Second where the intersect the top tubes intersect the neck do it at the rear 1/4 of the neck not the sides.

[@goodtimes757]

Nice moped-style ebike! Were I in the market for one, the dual-suspension version would be one of the top options.

[@TailHappyTV]

Yes, this is one of the top dogs right now, I want to try the big brother to this one

[@chow-chihuang4903]

@@TailHappyTV I hope you get a chance to try it out. Some who have noted how solid the REVV1 feels compared to some of its competitors. Me, I still enjoy pedaling my e-bikes, and I just got a cargo ebike, so perhaps next year! I also hope your mic recovers. Perhaps some water is still trapped inside it and you just need to let it dry out.

Great review and no criticism intended. I preordered a wired freedom. $1999.00 full suspension. 60v 20AH 1000w geared motor. It does have 26” wheels though. For the price of this bike I think I would just buy the $900 amazon brand and then modify it with a bigger battery and controller and possibly bigger motor.

I appreciate you sharing that option!

​@@TailHappyTVoh by the way is there any vibration on the pedals while going fast?

[@jdgoesham5381]

I'd upgrade the controller(which is quite cheap if you hunt around. They're usually all about the same quality...Bad solders you have to touch up sometimes but that's it. They're really the same ones these companies buy. A 20 dollar controller or for them probably a couple dollars. Which leads me to saying, if you ever have issues with your ebike with electronics or charging, it's probably a bad soldering job. I've see it dozens of times in my ebike group I'm part of. Especailly with wires soldered to the battery inside the battery boxes. Those are almost always barely soldered on. And after a couple hundred miles of bumps it jars free...

[@stayreal4l284]

Hey man nice review! I’m currently torn between the hard tail and full suspension but leaning more towards the suspension. And btw how about SoCal this winter/ spring 😅if there’s one thing I learned this year, it’s that you can’t trust the weather app and it will randomly rain unexpectedly 😂😂

[@TailHappyTV]

😆 this winter was AWFUL, looks like we’re in the clear now, was windy af at the beach today. If you’ve got the extra $500, I really feel like the full suspension adds sooo much more value. The hard tail is fast and looks dope though. Super helpful, right?

[@stayreal4l284]

@@TailHappyTV yes, very helpful! I see suspension as more of back support and really all around body support when hitting bumps because not every road is going to be smoothly paved

[@phant0m597]

I have the FS, and I’ve gotta say it is so worth it. After spending a year on a hard tail (from a different company), the suspension is an incredible luxury. I have friends with the Onyx RCR and Super 73. they chose my bike over theirs for general comfort, features, and future customizations.

[@TailHappyTV]

The summit 1 would be my top pick out of those right now, I’m actually in Lake Tahoe with the Summit 1 right now making a second video with it in Flume Trail, so I guess the fact that I chose to bring that bike out of 20+ I could have brought says something 😆 video will be published hopefully within a few weeks from now, lots in queue.

What are the long term consequences on the hub motor with a hard tail vs suspension. Also have you guys noticed that all these brands have identical websites. They should make a dual motor full suspension model and price it competitively.

Nice man I’m goin with the freego f2 pro. Can’t afford the $2400 model and I don’t want this hardtail with a small battery. I’m 330lbs. I need full suspension or I might be hurting after an hour. I wonder if the freego can use an aftermarket larger battery. How does that amps in the controller work? Less amps =smaller battery??

[@nyoverse]

Damn bro you 330lbs?

[@americantopgunner5102]

@@nyoverse yup 😂 this bike is rated for heavyweights 😂

[@TailHappyTV]

Nice, I have a discount code on my review of that bike, it’s pretty legit. Basically, the way it works is your battery has a certain amount of amp hours, then the controller can draw from that battery at a certain peak level of amps. An example would be a 25a 48v controller, would equate to about 1200w of maximum power the controller can pull from the battery and send to the motor. A stronger bike might have a 30 amp 48V controller for example, which would allow the controller to pull 1440w max from the battery and send it to the motor. The more amps, the controller can pull from the battery, the faster it’s going to drain the battery, so you’re gonna want a battery that has more total capacity, which is measured in amp hours , also known as “ah”. Typical ebike batteries are about 15ah and 48v. Multiply those two numbers and you get 720wh (watt hours), which essentially means if you ran your motor at 720 W for one hour it would be completely drained. Hope this helps, I should really make a video on this. It’s really a pretty simple formula and once you get it, you’ll get it.

@@TailHappyTV sounds good brother thank you. I see guys replacing motors ams batteries I’m assuming controllers can be replaced also. So cool man I would love to build an e bike one day.

[@TailHappyTV]

Hi Adrian! Are you planning to ride on the sand? I would go for the level 2 but definitely would be open to hearing more about what you're interested in and using the bike for so I can make a better recommendation. Most people doing street riding would do a torque sensor and reasonable tires (Level 2). I haven't personally been on either. I would do the fat tire if you plan on doing the sand or steep hills
