Revolutionworks Reviews 

Quick response and friendly re-delivery related to FTA.

Brilliant product great people will recommend every time

I’m generally very pleased with the bike. But I am having one continuous problem. The allen screw connecting the left hand pedal crank to the spindle keeps loosening during a ride. As a result I cannot cycle on, have to stop and tighten it before it comes off. I have now tightened it many times and lastly tried inserting a washer but all to no avail. This takes all the pleasure out of what, otherwise is a very good bike.
Your advice would be very welcome.

I have a rather elderly Dutch three speed bike which I use for my daily trip to my allotment. I heard about the Revos kit and could not resist the urge to upgrade the workhorse. The fitting was straight forward although my bike frame had no tapped holes to mount the battery holder so I opted for the easy way….cable ties! The mudguard was of metal rather than plastic which made cutting and redrilling fixing holes easy. I live at the bottom of a hill so am in first gear to start off which means the sensor is not reading anything until half way up then everything kicks, wonderful. The unit works really well even coping with the grassy and sometimes muddy footpath. I do have to keep a close watch on the cleanliness of the drive wheel and also of the magnetic disc but that is no problem. Seeing that the bike is heavily framed and has only three speeds I think the motor copes extremely well and is a good example of British engineering at it’s best, well done Revos

Fantastic customer service always respond to emails promptly!

Excellent service
Quick delivery
No problems

Fabulous product, great quality and well backed up by Mark and co.

I owned a single speed for a few years and I love riding it, unfortunately due to old age wear and tear whatever, my knees and ankle have a bit of arthritis so I don't get out as much as I would like. I saw the revos kit on dragons den and it prompted me to delve further. I always wanted an electric bike but I thought they were too heavy and too expensive so this conversion kit was just what I was after. I was apprehensive at first but I took the plunge, so glad I did, the whole process took me about half hour to convert. My bike is still light and I can still cycle even if the battery dies. I can't quite pin point the experience other than it is so much fun, it's like when you were a kid and you're dad pushed you along on you're first bike, there's no more standing up to pedal up hills puffing and panting, I get to work five mile away in 20mins, not even sweating or out of breath, I can't wait till home time so I can get back on it, I'm like a 60 year old kid. I can do this twice a week that's 20mile in total, then I have to charge the battery again, it's only for short commutes, round the shops visiting friends and family but it's just cool. It's also indescreet, the battery is only the size of a flask and you can't really notice the motor, it's just perfect for me I love it, cool product and the after service is brilliant, help is always on hand with Alistair helping me with any minor questions I had. I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a little shove in the right direction, on their bike of course, meanwhile can't wait to finish work so I can cycle home with ease.

I am the proud owner of the new Whippet ebike. Well engineered & thoughtfully designed. Rides well, lightweight, comfortable, excellent battery range. 3 levels of power for headwinds..hills.etc, all work in sync with the 7 speed gears, which have an ideal range for all styles of cycling.
I really recommend this reasonably priced ebike.

Overall great product. However the pedal sensor for a road bike needs a redesign. The lollipop is not a good solution in my view.

brilliant! great service and really helpful and knowledgeable throughout. Really highly recommended

Brilliant service and brilliant product, plus brilliant back-up service - advice etc.

After seeing Revos on Dragons Den, we realised that we were looking at what we now needed for our bikes and we did not want the expense of buying new electric bikes nor the storage for 4 .....and those hills seemed to be getting steeper and steeper !
So,after doing some research and speaking to Alistair ( full marks....very helpful ) we ordered 2 Revos kits. They took longer to arrive,but Alistair kept me informed.
Setting Revos up was a bit tricky and took a few times to get the wheel fully in place. Therefore I have suggested to Alistair that a "talking video" would be far better as not everybody is technically aware.
On the road....my goodness were we in for a surprise ! They work a treat and that extra power does indeed make hills history.
My wife and I have done two twenty mile runs, and have used the battery for about a third of the way each time cycling the same route. It's a bit unclear how many actual miles you will get using the battery all the time on a journey. We just don't need to (yet!)
One of the batteries is not taking a full charge,but again Alistair was very helpful in getting it picked up from home and a new one to replace if it cannot be fixed. This process is happening as I write.
So,if you are wavering as to whether to purchase Revos,I have no hesitation in recommending it at all. As a small British company based in Bristol, they answer the phone (important) and their communication is excellent.
Nearly forgot....we weren't sure if Revos would fit our bikes,surely everyone's consideration. Alistair asked for photos of our bikes and one simple measurement to be sent to him and again, I received a quick reply.
In short,we are more than impressed with Revos and would heartily recommend it. Excellent and great fun to ride....Revos will bring a smile to your face and respite to your legs !

I received my conversion set yesterday 27th
July complete with very explicit instructions in very good English.
Assembly very straightforward and tested early this morning and so far very impressed with the result. I have not had the time to go far but my short ride involved quite a gradual incline and coped brilliantly.
I am looking forward to more rides and only hope it does not wear the rear tyre out to quickly.
Many thanks for good service and what appears to be an excellent product.

Really good communication about how to fit to my bike with the addition of a 3D printed extension

I really was impressed with my revos as I went off to work. The first few minutes was great, but then a problem! No drive from motor at all. It was a shame as we could not sort the issue out. So I drove down and returned the kit. The staff at revos where great, also they showed me the new bike. Very impressive .... Something I may purchase in future. All the best to the revos team. 👍

I’m a London commuter living a bit too far out these days to easily cycle to the places I like. I have not used my bike nearly as much as I used to because of this. And I don’t have space to store an electric bike.

I do have a nice old road bike, and fitting this unit to it has not spoiled it’s appearance. This was quite important - I like my bike. This was the main reason I chose this model over one that fits onto handlebars or requires a new wheel. It was also important that I still feel like a cyclist, that I still use the bike for exercise, not just be pulled around by the motor.

The Revos is a simple set up and feels good quality. I’m not handy with DIY and it took me about 80 minutes to attach. I had butter-fingers with the size adjustment bands at the seat tube, at first I did not use enough and it slipped round as I was riding. There is also an adjustment lever you have to lift and drop, I don’t thing they fully explained this, but it’s easy when you know it.

I can switch the Revos on when I’m in heavy traffic to avoid deep-breathing car exhaust fumes, when I’m running late, riding home at late at night, going too far to be able to ride all that way after work, or when it is just too hot outside to work hard.

If I want to get a move on, my heart rate can easily be equivalent to what it is without the device, I just get further for the effort. Or, I can go slowly and let the motor do most of the work.

I am generally very happy with this unit compared to one that can be power controlled from the handlebars. It encourages me to think about when to engage it, and to not get into the habit of riding permanently on an assistance setting. (Although I do think that this would be a versatile option in future.)

A minor criticism is that it can sometimes take a few attempts to switch it off. I also suspect there is detectable drag when riding with it switched off, but you can disengage it with an Allen key if you want to do a ride without it.

I've only had it a short time so, I haven't had time to test it's durability.

All in all, delighted so far that my mum saw this on Dragon’s Den. It’s great!!

It's the first day with this system and I can say "it's a really good solution".
Thanks and go on!
All the best and greatings from Germany!

Overall very impressed with the conversion kit and support from Revos staff. I had a number of questions prior to my purchase and these were all answered with care and consideration. The kit was for my wife's mountain bike, but prior I had fun experimenting and swapping installations on a steel road bike and my mountain bike. The ease of installation is brilliant, with such a clever, but robust and simple design. On my road bike completed a 40 mile ride in blustery conditions with battery life to spare (200Wh battery). To get the most benefit I have noticed that at times it's better to gear down and a higher cadence gives more assistance. The kick form the acceleration after a couple of pedal revolutions as the motor kicks in always brings a smile. If you have a bike that you enjoy riding/don't want to part with, but need the extra assistance, then this is an ideal piece of kit.
