Retrospec Chatham Rev 2 Review

While we usually consider the $1,000 mark to be the starting point for a quality e-bike, we were impressed by the solid and comfortable feel of Retrospec’s Chatham Rev 2 ST. As a classic-looking step-thru cruiser with simple construction, it brings an old-school vibe with new-school fun to budget-conscious shoppers. We explore all that it offers in this Retrospec Chatham Rev 2 ST review!

With a list price of $899.99, the bike falls firmly on the affordable end of the spectrum. We are accustomed to major sacrifices in features and performance at this price point, but the Chatham Rev 2 seemed solidly put-together with an uncommonly high-quality ride feel. It’s basic, but still somehow manages to pack everything it needs into a low-cost package.

ICYMI: Retrospec Chatham Rev+ Review

Don’t be fooled by the retro design of the Retrospec Chatham Rev+ ST; this cruiser-style e-bike might resemble an old-timer, but it packs some serious punch! We tested the bike’s real-world performance in addition to just admiring its great looks. Read all about it in this Retrospec Chatham Rev+ review!

The bike’s appearance is really its defining feature, and we think Retrospec nailed the design by balancing form and function. The Chatham Rev+ uses a curved and angled top tube to keep the frame from flexing, while the larger, more contemporary down tube seamlessly hosts its fully integrated battery. It’s an artful design that perfectly fuses new and old!
