Facts
Summary of Reviews

- The Cougar Pro easily overcomes hills in testing.

9 reasons not to buy
- A 5'5" tester finds the fixed seat position too high, even though the bike is rated for riders from 5'1" to 6'6".
- At 80lb and 71.3” long, the Cougar is a large, heavy e-bike.
- Reviewers are disappointed by the non-adjustable, clunky suspension fork that frequently tops out.
- The Cougar's top speeds (34 and 38mph) exceed legal e-bike classifications.
- In testing, the speedometer shows up to 9mph over an external GPS. Fixing this requires changing the wheel size in the settings.
- A reviewer complains of a loud, vibrating motor when throttling up to 20mph.
- Two testers notice the battery display is still showing 100% after riding up to nine miles.
- The brakes on a test bike squeak from the first ride.
- Testers warn against taking the Cougar off-road.
Bottom line
The Revibikes Cougar is a motorcycle-style e-bike with full suspension. It's available in two builds: standard (52V) or Pro (60V). Testers praise the quick acceleration and stable handling. Unfortunately, the high weight, street tires, single-speed gearing, and clunky suspension mean it cannot handle anything more than smooth off-road terrain, despite Revibikes' marketing claims. A test bike's noisy, vibrating motor causes concern. As is common at this price point, the Cougar has a long list of drawbacks that limit its appeal.Expert Reviews
