![]() No complaints about power but speed is limited to ~17.4 mph due to the smaller wheel size. With a peak output of ~350 watts, this thing really zips! I was able to climb the driveway of my house easily and let a couple of my larger ~200 lb friends test it out. The bike does accommodate tall and short riders pretty well thanks to the quick release seat and stem and I love the optional pannier rack… it works wonderfully with the Axiom Seymour DLX 20 (just one at a time), the warranty is great, there are four color choices and the engineering felt solid.ĭriving the Revelo Flex is a modest 250 watt internally geared hub motor spoked into the 16″ rear wheel. From my perspective, the primary value here is small size and light weight. the small wheels and feet-forward position can lead to a sore back and neck going over cracks and bumps but the addition of a suspension seat post (basic telescoping suspension post included with the upgraded version) can really help. It would also be wonderful for boats and RV’s as long as you’re traveling to places with relatively smooth roads. This ebike is wonderful for solving that “last mile” challenge that commuters face, heading to or from the train station or bus stop and it’s so small and light at ~33 lbs that it’s easier to haul on board than more standard sized bikes. Pedaling seems most relevant for steep climbs when the motor might otherwise struggle on its own. Furthermore, the lack of any sort of gearing mechanism means that a natural and comfortable cadence only exists at one speed, about ten mph. Honestly, pedaling this thing was not much fun because the wheel and handlebar would turn with each foot stroke. The benefits are reduced weight and complexity with fewer repairs and easier folding but the drawback is stability, comfort and pedaling efficiency. Unlike most bicycles being sold today, the Flex doesn’t use a chain or cassette with gears… it’s a single speed front wheel operated platform much like the original “Penny Farthing” bicycle from the 1880’s. I found the non-pedaling ride position to be more stable. The right crank arm has a release mechanism that allows it to rotate back and line up with the left creating an even foot placement. It has pedals, but you don’t have to use them if you’re more interested in scooting around under electric power.
