Ride1UP REVV 1

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Ride1UP REVV 1. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

15 reasons to buy

  • One REVV 1 tester redlined at a top speed of 37 mph in ‘Off-Road Mode’.
  • REVV 1 buyers can choose from full-suspension and hardtail models.
  • Ride1Up claims a maximum range of up to 60 miles.
  • A tester says the REVV 1 FS feels “solid and planted”.
  • Experts see the REVV 1’s price as “fair”, for the “motorcycle-style” riding offered.
  • Testers appreciate lockout, preload and rebound adjustments available on the DNM rear shock.
  • Testers approve the REVV 1 FS for tackling a variety of terrains.
  • Ride1Up asserts that the REVV 1 can haul 400 lb of rider and cargo, combined.
  • The REVV 1 can reach peak power outputs of 1456W (FS) and 1300W (HT).
  • One reviewer says 4-piston hydraulic brakes provide “perfectly adequate” stopping capabilities.
  • A tester says CST Scout tires corner well while providing a cush' ride.
  • The REVV 1 is equipped with a large headlight with high and low-beam settings.
  • An integrated brake light, turn signals, and fenders are included with the REVV 1.
  • A reviewer says the REVV 1’s saddle is comfortable and uses quality material.
  • One tester describes the REVV 1’s display as “simple yet effective”.

9 reasons not to buy

  • The REVV 1 FS weighs 93 lb. The HT weighs 83 lb.
  • One FS tester reports that, for him, the DNM rear shock feels stiff.
  • Reviewers say the REVV 1 is not comfortable to pedal.
  • One expert says assistance can be delayed, between a descent and a climb.
  • A tester finds throttle application to be “jolting”, at assist levels 4 and 5.
  • One reviewer says the odometer on their REVV 1 is inaccurate.
  • The REVV 1’s seat can not be adjusted.
  • Reviewers note that their chain tensioner clicked or dropped the chain, regularly.
  • For one reviewer, brake performance was underwheling.

Bottom line

The Ride1Up REVV 1 e-moped is a powerful yet hefty option for riders seeking a ‘motorcycle-style’ e-bike. In all, reviewers say the REVV 1 is for “fun over exercise”. With a 750W motor and 25-28A controller, it’s tuned to put out up to 95 Nm of torque. It ships as a Class 2 ride, topping out at 20 mph, but owners can opt into an unlocked ‘Off-Road Mode’. This is largely illegal for the streets, but it opens the REVV 1 up to higher top speeds on ‘private roads’. One tester redlined at 37 mph. Reviewers confirm that pedaling is a slog. This rig is sold in two guises; the full-suspension ‘FS’ and a hardtail ‘HT’ model. Compared to the FS (and besides the suspension), the HT is lighter, less powerful, and with a lower battery capacity.

Super73-R Adventure

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Super73-R Adventure. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

  • A tester says the R Adventure is “ultra-comfortable” and glides over pretty large potholes.
  • The “high quality” suspension includes a dual-crown inverted fork and DNM coil-spring shock, both adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound.
  • Reviewers highlight the impact absorption of the suspension, seat, and 5-inch-wide tires.
  • The R Adventure comes with fenders and integrated lights with brake light activation.
  • Multiple testers praise the “really good” Tektro Dorado hydraulic brakes.
  • The seat has room for two people, and experts find it comfortable.
  • The 750W motor and torque sensor provide responsive, peppy power in testing.
  • Testers agree the GRZLY tires provide good traction on varied terrains.
  • Reviewers find the R Adventure’s “fantastic” looks attract a lot of compliments.
  • Several testers say the loud horn improves safety in traffic.
  • Experts note that the 8-speed gearing is “helpful” when pulling away, pedaling at high speeds, and climbing hills.

13 reasons not to buy

  • The R Adventure is “nearly impossible” to pedal comfortably.
  • Super73 users complain about damaged bikes and poor customer service.
  • Experts consider this bike very expensive for the performance it delivers.
  • The R Adventure’s 88lb weight makes it hard to lift onto a bike rack and carry up stairs.
  • Testers feel the display is too small and lacks information.
  • Modifying top speed and viewing most ride metrics requires a “crash-prone” app.
  • The R Adventure suffers from “buggy” Bluetooth, so connecting to the app doesn’t always work.
  • The bike resets to Class 2 each time it’s powered on, frustrating users and experts.
  • Experts agree the horn is too loud to use around pedestrians and other cyclists.
  • A full charge takes at least 10 hours.
  • The R Adventure’s short fenders don’t stop water and dirt, according to one tester.
  • An expert says uphill performance is poor. A user complains that the inability to climb a hill on their shopping commute makes the bike useless.
  • According to reviewers, the stated range of 75 miles is exaggerated.

Bottom line

The Super73-R Adventure is a moto-style e-bike with full suspension and room for a passenger. Experts and users praise the looks, comfortable ride, and fun performance on flat terrain. Testers also highlight the above-average suspension and brakes. But this bike is pricey, heavy, and offers questionable range and hill-climbing ability. There have been no reported problems with this frame, but it appears to be the same as other Super73 frames, which suffer from cracks. In the absence of evidence that this problem has been addressed, it is hard to recommend the Super73-R Adventure.
