Ride1Up, the maker of some excellent e-bikes like the Cafe Cruiser and the
Prodigy, has introduced a new e-bike called the Revv 1. That’s rev as in revving an engine. The Revv 1 is an example of the growing segment of e-bikes styled after motorcycles and mopeds.
E-bikes styled after motorcycles and mopeds are growing in popularity. Part of the appeal is the look—they look super stylish. In the ‘70s we would have called one “boss.”
Part of the appeal is that they tend to have big—750W hub motors—and a battery big enough to give them some range.
