Ride1Up has once again caught the attention of e-bike enthusiasts with its latest offering, the Revv1 DRT. Building upon the success of the original Revv1, which took the market by storm in 2023, the new model is specifically designed for off-road adventures.
Recognizing the growing demand for off-road capabilities among riders, Ride1Up has made substantial modifications to the Revv1 to create the DRT version. Upgraded suspension, tires, spoke wheels, off-road fenders, modified lighting, and frame geometry changes ensure that this electric moped-style bike is ready to tackle the trails with ease.
One of the most notable updates to the Revv1 DRT is the inclusion of chunky off-road tires and an extended travel DNM coilover shock in the rear, featuring a piggyback reservoir. Additionally, riders have the option to add a Molle panel to the frame, which offers utility by allowing the attachment of accessories from various sources.
The power behind the Revv1 DRT is nothing short of impressive. With a 1,000-watt continuous-rated rear hub motor, producing 95 Nm of torque, it stands among the most powerful stock e-bike motors available. While the bike ships with a 20 mph speed limit, it can be upgraded to Class 3 operation with pedal assist, reaching speeds of up to 28 mph.
It’s worth noting that unlocking the bike for further speed requires additional steps and should only be done for off-road or private property use. Riding at such speeds on public roads may violate local regulations and classify the vehicle as a motorcycle.
Despite the modifications and enhancements, some components remain unchanged from the original Revv1. The Revv1 DRT retains the large 52V 20Ah battery pack, 3.5″ center mount display, and 4-piston 203mm hydraulic disc brakes found in its predecessor.
Priced at US $2,495 during its promotional pre-order period, the Revv1 DRT offers fantastic value for money. Ride1Up has also committed to maintaining its competitive pricing throughout the year, providing customers with stable prices rather than seasonal fluctuations.
With early June set as the expected delivery date, riders can look forward to experiencing the thrill of the off-road with the powerful and versatile Revv1 DRT from Ride1Up.
The e-bike industry has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing popularity of electric bikes as a sustainable and efficient mode of transportation. According to a market report by Allied Market Research, the global e-bike market is projected to reach $24.3 billion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.7% from 2020 to 2027.
The off-road e-bike segment, in particular, has been gaining traction among enthusiasts who seek adventure and exploration on two wheels. Ride1Up’s latest offering, the Revv1 DRT, caters specifically to this growing demand for off-road capabilities. With its upgraded suspension, off-road tires, and modified frame geometry, the Revv1 DRT is designed to handle rugged terrain and provide an exhilarating off-road experience.
One of the key features that sets the Revv1 DRT apart is its powerful 1,000-watt continuous-rated rear hub motor, which generates an impressive 95 Nm of torque. This makes it one of the most powerful stock e-bike motors available in the market. The bike also offers the option to upgrade to Class 3 operation with pedal assist, allowing riders to reach speeds of up to 28 mph.
However, it is important to note that unlocking the bike for higher speeds should only be done for off-road or private property use. Riding at such speeds on public roads may not only violate local regulations but also classify the vehicle as a motorcycle, which may require additional licenses and registration.
While the Revv1 DRT comes with several modifications and enhancements, some components remain unchanged from the original Revv1. This includes the large 52V 20Ah battery pack, 3.5″ center mount display, and 4-piston 203mm hydraulic disc brakes, which were well-received features of its predecessor.
In terms of pricing, the Revv1 DRT offers excellent value for money at a promotional pre-order price of US $2,495. Ride1Up has also committed to maintaining competitive pricing throughout the year, ensuring that customers can enjoy stable prices without seasonal fluctuations.
With an expected delivery date in early June, riders can look forward to embarking on thrilling off-road adventures with the powerful and versatile Revv1 DRT from Ride1Up.
