BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
Retrospec’s Koa Rev+ 2 is the full-power version of the Koa model family, with a more powerful motor and larger battery than the Koa Rev 3. Testing of this model is limited, but both testers find it comfortable over pavement and light off-road terrain. They also appreciate the smooth pedal assist, decent climbing performance, and clean aesthetic. However, reaching the 28mph top speed requires a lot of effort. Complaints from the testers are minor, but Retrospec’s failure to provide key specs is disappointing given the competitiveness of this e-bike segment.Expert Reviews
