I've had one of these for 2 years now. Initially fitted to a mountain bike and now on my cargo bike. So let's get rid of a couple of canards. 1. It does not increase tyre wear. 2. It does not slip in wet weather. The noise depends on the tread pattern on your rear tyre. The mountain bike was quite noisy with a chunky tread. However, the cargo bike is almost silent fitted with Schwalbe Marathons. Altogether a good package.

It's a real shame you have stopped doing reviews. Really great content

Definitely one of the better looking kits

First.....time I've seen one of these. I might well try it on my folding bike. The simplicity appeals to me above all, as I don't want to replace my Alfine rear or dynamo front hubs.

Clive Sinclare made one of these in the 80s I had one . Like everything else he made it was a bit ahead of its time ie: the C5, and the battery tech was not there to support it .It did work quite well tho.

This is a good video that explains in simple terms what it is and what it does but would of benefited from typical costs, where to buy from , how it charges etc . Guess you will hopefully covering this important stuff at a later date ? Anyway as I have been considering e-bike conversion on my ATB just for road use I very much like the simplicity and ‘low ‘installation’ fitting. Just watched an American chap demonstrating a Chinese version of this type of kit that ostensibly if it’s claims are true could clean up the market( depending on price )

I never knew this option existed, so thanks for making this video. I would actually consider this kit for an old bike which I want to use to run errands around town, but at $900 Canadian it's a little too pricey. I'm just too scared to leave my expensive e-bike locked up while I go grocery shopping! Hopefully competition will drive prices down 😄

I made an ultra simple set-up. I used a hub drive skateboard motor with Bluetooth control ( yay no wires) and power tool batteries.. Its only 250 watt and needs pedal assistance up hill.. It's all fitted on a rack from Kmart. I get the Max legal speed of 25 kph.and have done distance of 10 kilometres. Could do with improving but very cheap.

This looks so cool I want something easy to fit on my bike to help me ride from bath to Bristol. Also as I assume you live in bath any good cycling groups been looking for one

Can't have fenders, BUT if your a short person this will work on your bike unlike other designs that need several inches of seat post sticking up.

did you have to drill a hole in the frame of the bike to attach it with those screws or are they pressure tightened type of screw will this scratch the frame?

That is what I am looking for. Simple install, no unnecessary part replacement, and easily removable (prevent theft). I would be looking for a on/off system with like a thumb throttle activate instead of a pedal assist. I just want to turn on when I need it and not have it on all the time. Please let me know of any system more closer to this.

It could accompany a hub drive for balance

Just want to know whether it’d be fine if it’s fitted to a bike with MTB tire. Thanks.

Around the time of the Sinclair C5, they also sold a similar system, if memory serves me right.

Excelente gracias 😊👌😅😮

I am considering this for my commute. Do you still use it? I am wondering about any longer term users experiences. Thanks for the great review.

Is Rubbee better or worse ? We need a side by side test.

No update yet? I searched Revos on your channel and only found this.

I tried looking up progress reports for the Revos kit on your channel but I couldn't find it. What is the range, durability, performance been like over the last two years?

Hi. Thanks for sharing . May i know the price of the conversion kit? Thanks

From your experience, how noisy is the motor system? Also, any concerns about the tyre wear as a result of friction?

Will this not damage the wheels?

Hmmm sure I had a go on the prototype in Bath around 5 years ago . In the center the lad let me ave a spin .

How will this deal with mud etc, somehow I do not think very well.

Can you add this to a BMX bike

There's a bunch I don't know at the moment. Lists everything minus install.

Could you do a review of the rubbee one please?

Can it fit the brompton? Thanaks

regenerative braking?

Test if it works on uphill

Is this still around, because I can't buy it on their website?

How much does it cost

How do you fit the battery housing to the downtube? It shows it being screwed into the frame?

Sounds like a V10 Lamborghini 😂😂😂 2:56

My Hybrid bike has the front deraileur cable running down the seat tube, fitting this would crush it. What's the best thing to do?

Just watched this video and was interested to know more but unfortunately this kit is no longer for sale

What size battery 🔋?

looks ok but to be honest the price is too high when you hold the price next to an already made e-bike in the lower price range

so what is efficency of this style with compartion to hub motor in wheel?

Hello dear friend can you show me the battery 🔋?😊

Huge question!!! Does it work under snow and cold conditions?

where can i purchase this?

Ich bin sehr skeptisch das die zwei Flaschenhalter Schrauben das Gewicht des Akkus auf die Dauer aushalten und der Rahmen einreißen könnte!

So it's like a reverse dynamo, and we all remember how terrible they were. Much better off with a mid motor or rear hub conversion.

How could I buy am from sudan khartum

👍🚲🔥

Like any ebike or any ebike conversion kit, the cost of the battery alone can get you a half decent mountain bike and a 2 stroke gas bike kit. You can even have your bike and engine shipped to bike outfitters and they'll just charge you 50 to 100 bucks labor to have it installed. And the 2 incentives are you get a faster bike that's less appealing to thieves.

Too expensive for what it is. At $400 USD it makes some sense. For $300 or so more than the price of this kit one can get an Lectric Xp.

Probably will not work on a recumbent trike though. Sort of imagining the wear on the rear tire. Eek!

Sounds like Concorde taking off

No update yet.

Their site is already down.

For £600 you’d be better just buying a pre built hub drive that would have so much more power and range

Debris from the tire ( such as stones and mud ) will interfere with the traction device.

Rubbee X drive looks and preforms better for a similar price

Price

3:27

Wow! 1930. here we come!

Really nice.. But then Prize: 600£ 😖

I like it and it looks like a simple solution. But if it is so simple, then why does it have to cost so much. It is over 500 pounds or 700 US dollars. The price seems a little high.

I got my 350W samebike with a throttle and pedal assist for £685 which is £90 more expensive than this…I wouldn’t buy this tbh, good luck selling it for that price, no wonder it’s not advertised well, it should be more like 300/400 then people would actually buy it but it’s just not worth it for £595

If it can climb hills I'm buying it

This has been on here for 4 months and you still don't know how long it work for or how well it does? Seriously?

Could not understand if you were saying "" are positive "" or "" aren't positive "" in your review.

Can't have mudguards then!

That is SO over priced. Why would anyone pay that much ($640 US), for so little return?! You can buy and entire Bike for that! I'd pay, maybe half that price, maybe. I think we are losing our perspective on what these motorized bikes are worth, it's getting ridiculous tbh.

They’ve stopped making it now.

So you're telling me I have to pedal to go forwards?

In my opinion there is a mafia business on these ebike booster or ebike kit. They cost to much, and also their reliability is not guarantee. So at the end price should be much.more less.

Send me one thanks see tops easy for anyone can figure out ?

Wow that’s one noisey ass motor 🤦🏻‍♂️ who would have thought that little thing could produce such a racket 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not great for commuters who ride in all weather because you can’t have a rear mud guard.

Suitable only for eejits who have bikes without mudguards.

Wayyy to expensive for the performance, seriously 200wh even entry level hub motor kits have double the battery capacity

!!! zu beachten: zum Preis von 600 Euro ( 540 Euro Ware , 60 Euro Versand) kommen noch Zollkosten von 150 Euro! Wenn die Lieferung denn durch den Zoll kommt!! Meine hängt schon seit 2 Wochen dort, weil Zollbestimmungen ( Kein Wirtschaftsakteur gemäß VO(EU)2019/2020 angegeben, Keine Bedienanleitung in deutscher Sprache, Keine Einbauerklärung , Keine Kennzeichnung zur Identifizierung) nicht eingehalten sind. Sicherlich einem Dienst nach Vorschrift geschuldet (wegen Brexit) aber für mich als Kunden trotzdem problematisch, wenn ich meine Ware nicht bekommen kann. Wenn sich der Hersteller Revos hier nicht kümmert, werde ich das Kit wohl nie bekommen und meinem Geld hinterherrennen. Bisher hüllt Revos sich in Schweigen ...

15 to 20 mins in your dreams.

Dont worry - they have just run out off business for some boat drive crap!

It will eat tyres

Overpriced af

Ну и грохот от него.

My new hero . He didn't put on a DUFFUS HELMET !!!!!!!!!!

I think my RideKick is far superior to this.

Хочунарусском

Look very out of breath pushing that bike

Kludge. No thanks.

Out of business. This is why one must be very careful about startup things like this.

overpriced and I can build my own for 30 pounds

Helmet? I feel that anyone involved in cycling and trying to appear professional should always wear a helmet, it just looks better from a point of view of setting a good example.

NOW PUT A DYNAMO ON THE OTHER WHEEL SO THE BATTERIES CHARGES AS YOU RIDE!!!

Too expensive
