The Freedom of Design – Revonte ONE for E-Bike Manufacturers

Jukka Mäennenä on 2022-06-03

Highly positive is an understatement when describing the reception of the Revonte ONE Drive System by the current market. The automatic & stepless transmission, and highly capable drive unit create a ride experience that needs to be felt first-hand. Another, but till now barely discussed, strongpoint of the Revonte ONE is the freedom of frame design for bike manufacturers and OEM’s.

And that’s the topic of this article.

One Hardware for Every E-Bike

Versatility was one of the design goals when setting out designing the Revonte ONE. In practical and very brief terms this means that one hardware – meaning the Revonte ONE Drive Unit – can be used in all types of e-bikes ranging from lightweight commuters to heavy-duty cargo e-bikes. This is achieved with ingenious mechanical design found inside the drive unit, as well as the high level of configurability our software provides.

For product designers, this is very welcomed news since one type of motor interface can be used throughout the lineup. Product managers are another happy group of people since only one drive unit type needs to be ordered and kept in stock to cater for the needs of the whole e-bike portfolio. The same goes for the other components in the drive system such as the battery, and the handlebar controller.

Mounting the Motor

The Revonte ONE Drive Unit employs a dedicated motor mount. When it comes to performance metrics, the drive unit is highly capable, to the extent that it can meet the demands of professional heavy-duty cargo e-bike use. The motor mount was designed accordingly to withstand the loads and stresses caused by the respectable output that the drive unit can give out.

The motor mount is an open mold design, and the dimensions and all the relevant information is shared freely with our partners. If you are an e-bike manufacturer interested in using the most advanced e-bike drive system around, get in touch at [email protected]

The theme of versatility, and configurability continues in motor placement. Unlike some other models in the market, the Revonte ONE Drive Unit can be placed in any orientation desired! Want to have the motor tilted to 30° or even 75°? Not an issue. This particular design freedom might be of a high value in cargo e-bikes in which the frame designs are all but set, and the development is ongoing. In addition to this e-bike category, the freedom of design enables innovative, and even futuristic designs such as the P2 by our partner Lavelle bikes.

Plenty of Battery Life

An e-bike drive system would not be complete without a proper battery – that’s where the Revonte AKKU comes into play! We collaborated with Akkuvision GmbH, to create a top of the line battery using the latest Li-Ion technology to offer a complete, and ready-to-implement, e-bike drive system solution.

Revonte AKKU is not just some e-bike battery. Offered in 540Wh, and 720Wh capacities with identical form factors, it meets the demands and price points in nearly all cases imaginable. In addition, not only two, or three, but four(!) batteries can be connected in parallel, thus giving an unheard of battery capacity of 2.8kWh!

Easy to Design, Easy to Use

The Revonte ONE Drive System provides an unparalleled ride experience. Easy-to-use, fun, and engaging – just pedal and the carefully honed assistance software will take care of the rest. The ease of use and the amount of “boost” available from the drive unit caters for riders of all ages and abilities. The Revonte ONE Drive System will change how e-bikes are used and thought of.

The same design ethos reaches all the way to the design table of our partners. At every step, we’ve made sure that integrating our drive system into any type of e-bike is not only possible but as simple as it can be. Configuring the ride profiles will provide the finishing touches.

Future-proof

Jukka Mäennenä on 2021-12-17

The development of e-bike technology is happening fast, and not in a linear fashion. Even though forecasting is difficult, especially when it comes to predicting future events, we are very confident that the Revonte ONE Drive System will stand the test of time for many years to come.

Read further to learn why that is.

Software-first approach

Even though a heavy dose of good old-fashioned mechanical engineering has gone into the Revonte ONE Drive Unit, we describe ourselves as a software development company first and foremost.

To achieve this type of operation model, we have designed the Revonte ONE Drive System from the ground up as a software-based product. This does not negate the importance of a sound and robust mechanical design – on the contrary. The design of the Revonte ONE Drive Unit is based on a time-tested design that’s been used in a variety of applications, including heavy-duty industrial use.

By leveraging the features of the mechanical design, and pairing that with highly sophisticated control software, we are able to deliver something very special

With a sturdy base that’s standing on a pair of legs provided by a time-tested mechanical design, we can leave the finer details and features to the software side. This is where the highly honed control software and the development that has gone into it steps in. Not only does this approach enable us to provide a variety of features, and different ride characteristics, but also the ability to implement them very quickly, and efficiently.

More often than not, it’s easier and faster to develop new code than to replace hardware.

Time-tested Drivetrain Solution

Even though the current bicycle drivetrain is a respectable piece of engineering, it’s far from ideal or not to mention a pinnacle of drivetrain technology. Fragile parts, components that are subjected to high wear rates, and the need for regular maintenance are some of the most obvious shortcomings of current systems.

The Revonte ONE Drive System employs a highly reliable, and simple single-speed transmission. One chain paired to a pair of sprockets – could not get much more simple than that! With simplicity, the benefits of lower maintenance needs, very affordable spare parts, and overall robust construction are realized.

How would this look if it was simple? This is a question often raised in engineering. Our answer to the question is that the drivetrain should include as few parts as possible that are subjected to the elements, and thus oftentimes high wear rates.

The single-speed transmission has stood the test of time for more than a century, and it is safe to assume that it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

It is worth noting that the long list of benefits also include the option for using a belt drive which is virtually maintenance-free, and the most “tidy” option available since it does not require any lubrication for proper functioning.

Fully Connected

The future of e-bikes will be focused more and more on the overall ride experience. Not only has the nature and performance of the assistance to be top-notch, but also other features found on the drive system, including connectivity to other devices. We’ve made sure that the Revonte ONE Drive System is future-proof by including a full set of connectivity technology inbuilt on the drive unit itself. The list includes Bluetooth, 4G, and GPS.

The versatile, and fast connectivity options enable software updates over the air, as well as connecting 3rd party applications if the need arises. In other words, we’ve left all the doors open for future development by embedding all the modern connection standards to the drive unit. This also means that we are not tied to a specific layout or standard, nor are there other limiting dependencies

In Closing

By leveraging the features of the mechanical design, pairing that with highly sophisticated control software, and full connectivity we are able to deliver something very special to the world of e-bikes.

“One hardware, all types of e-bikes”, is the motto of the Revonte ONE Drive System which can be realized with ingenious design work, and picking the best features from a varied field of technologies, including mechanical, software, and electronic engineering.

Combining all these factors we can say that Revonte ONE Drive System will retain its modern status for many years to come, and provide a ride experience that all other drive systems are compared to.

What Makes a Good E-bike Drive System – And How We’ve Met the Demanding List of Criteria

Jukka Mäennenä on 2021-08-06

Even though the e-bike industry can be considered quite young, a considerable amount of maturation has taken place in just a couple of years. Gone are the days when a bike manufacturer can bolt a motor around the bottom bracket, place a battery on top of the pannier rack and call it an e-bike. Besides more polished looks the assistance behaviour has improved by leaps and bounds – and the Revonte ONE Drive System is going to take it to the next level.

Read further to learn more.

Ride Experience

When it comes to evaluating drive system performance, assistance behaviour rules the game. No matter how nice looking, light or easy to use the system is, it does not matter if the ride experience resembles that of a cheap scooter that gas water mixed in the gas tank.

We’ve taken great care in developing the assistance behaviour of the Revonte ONE Drive System to the extent that it feels as if the bike is thinking already one step ahead. How is this accomplished you might ask? By refining the software with the aid of continuous and prolonged testing and by using high-quality sensors to detect even the smallest actions performed by the rider.

A close second to the assistance behaviour is the ease of use. Conveniently the Revonte ONE Drive System scores the very top on this department, thanks to its automatic & stepless transmission. Just pedal – the bike will take care of the rest!

Configurability – on more than one level

It is already commonplace that a drive system has some level of inbuilt configurability by offering the choice between different assistance modes and possibly even more detailed settings. With the Revonte ONE Drive System, we’ve taken the configurability aspect to the next level.

First, the bike manufacturer can configure the drive system according to their needs, whether it’s a commuter bike or a heavy-duty cargo e-bike. After the initial specs the end-user – meaning the rider – can configure the drive system according to their wishes or needs via our dedicated app.

Inbuilt Modularity

What makes the Revonte ONE Drive System truly unique is that a single drive unit can be used in all types of bikes from a high-performance e-mtb to a commuter designed year-round daily use. From a bike manufacturer’s perspective, this is a very welcomed feature since it lessens the needed design considerations, product variants and stock overhead.

And that’s not all. The Revonte AKKU is the smartest e-bike battery out there for a good reason. Both AKKU 5 and AKKU 7 share the same form factor, i.e., they have the same physical dimensions, hence making them interchangeable. This enables the bike manufacturer, or the rider, to spec his or her bike with just the right amount of energy storage capacity.

The various inbuilt modular features make the Revonte ONE Drive System the ultimate choice both from bike manufacturers, but also from rider’s perspective.

Reliability

When it comes to power transmission, the century-old chain is still looking for a worthy rival. With the Revonte ONE Drive System, one can use a wide single-speed chain which is the most robust and durable type there is. Add to that the fact that the ingenious design of the Revonte ONE Drive Unit makes damage-prone derailleur obsolete, the reliability factor gets multiplied.

As a nice bonus replacing the whole drivetrain costs only a fraction of that compared to a set consisting of a complex cassette, multi-speed chain and compatible chainring.

Up to Date

Nobody likes to ride an old bike, especially if a newer or better model is available. There is no way to stop the ongoing technological development – which is only a good thing – but we’ve done everything in our power to keep Revonte ONE Drive System up to date and performing at its best for as long as possible.

How can this be done once the bike has left the factory floor then? By software updates which can be made swiftly and effortlessly, thanks to the inbuilt 4G connection which is a default feature in the Revonte ONE Drive System.

In Closing

An e-bike drive system has to tick a lot of boxes to be a top performer in all areas. Revonte ONE Drive System does this with flying colours and goes even beyond that. The automatic & stepless transmission and the simple construction of the drivetrain itself take the e-bike ride experience and ease of use to an unprecedented level.

The one and truly smart drive system out there – Revonte ONE.

When the Whole Is Bigger than the Sum of the Parts

Jukka Mäennenä on 2020-08-10

Here at Revonte we’ve wanted to take the big picture view from the beginning. Our goal is to change how ebikes are ridden and thought of which requires more than just building a neat drive unit – although, that certainly is part of the deal. Besides providing a Drive System with unprecedented features, like the automatic & stepless transmission, we wanted to make the whole process of using the ebike easier, more pleasant and seamless, starting from the purchase.

Let’s call it the Revonte Experience.

Ease of Use Starting from the Registration

Usually, attention is directed only towards the things that can be noted while riding. When it comes to ebikes – or any other product for that matter – the things that happen before that do matter, and often quite a lot. The ebike itself might be a pleasure to ride, but the experience might be dwarfed by a cumbersome process of turning just the power on.

We’ve put a lot of thought to make the usability of the Revonte ONE Drive System as intuitive and smooth as possible. The process starts with registration, and at the same token claiming the ownership of the ebike. All of this is done via our App in a simple step-by-step manner. All the relevant instructions are clearcut and the amount of needed information is kept to a minimum.

If the registration process requires a PhD in electrical engineering or programming, then something has gone amiss.

When Ensuing Riding

One of the design drivers of the user-interface and general usability of the Revonte ONE Drive System was that it should be so easy to use that a child could use a Revonte-equipped ebike (and they probably will.)

Turning the power on and ensuing the ride should not be more complicated than starting a ride on a regular bike. In practical terms, this means that the power switch will be easy to use and no intricate button-pushing sequences are needed. Also, the app connects to the bike without a conscious effort by the user and starts tracking chosen metrics, if chosen from the settings.

Consequently, when the ride has finished or interrupted momentarily (remember, cyclists are big on coffee-breaks), turning the power off or putting the ebike on a stand-by mode should be just as easy as turning the power off. These things should be given but to our experience, there’s still a lot of room for improvement.

Controls

Making the human-machine interface – HMI for short – as simple as elegant as possible was high on our priority list. The Revonte Controller reflects this thinking in every way.

First, it simplifies the cockpit by replacing existing controls instead of occupying new space. Second, it’s intuitive to use and highly ergonomic. And third, it’s minimalist to the extent that the difference between a traditional shifter paddle can be hard to tell by a glance. Only the colourful LED’s reveal that there’s more hiding beneath the surface.

Going screenless was an easy decision for us since we wanted to keep the cockpit area as simple as possible, and most importantly leave the choice of having a screen to the rider. Any modern smartphone can be used as a screen with the aid of the Revonte App which has all the features one could ask for. And not only that, it’s continuously updated so that users can benefit from the latest developments.

Ride-experience

We’ve said it before that the ride-experience isn’t only about performance metrics. The goal of this article was to drive the point home that ebikes, and most importantly, the usability and the general feeling of using one is a lot more than just watts or newton metres.

The user-experience starts from the purchase and besides the riding itself, includes registration, servicing, charging and turning the power on and off countless times.

We feel that the ebike industry has a lot of ground to cover in this area. A lot of the controls, HMI’s and complicated button-pushing choreographies are something that would not fly in any other industry. Starting a drive on one of the leading electric cars is simple; hop on to the driver’s seat with the key in your pocket and start moving. Why should it be more difficult when moving from four wheels to two?

With this line of thinking, the whole is truly bigger than the sum of the parts. Ebikes should be easy and most importantly enjoyable to use. Could your grandma use one? And how would she find the experience?

Revonte Q&A – you asked, we answered

Jukka Mäennenä on 2020-04-15

We made an inquiry in our social media feeds, i.e. Facebook and Linkedin, about things you wanted to know about the Revonte ONE Drive System. The most popular questions with answers are listed below in a Q&A format. Enjoy!

Q: Is the system capable of re-generation, e.g. recharging during riding?

The Revonte ONE Drive System has the capability for re-generation, similar to KERS used in cars. Initially, that feature isn’t included in the system though. That might change in the future, depending on the future applications and needs that might arise.

It is important to note that the re-gen is only possible with rear hubs that do not have a freewheel. Otherwise, the chain won’t be able to transfer the kinetic energy from the rear wheel.

Q: What is the weight of the system? How many kilometers can you do with one charge?

This, of course, dependent on the battery. As a whole, the weight of the Revonte ONE System is competitive compared to any other current drive system. All of the relevant specs can be found on our technical specification site. It is also worth noting that our system has an optimal weight distribution since nearly all of the mass is located low and around the bottom bracket.

The range depends on many variables, such as the combined weight of the bike and rider, terrain and elevation covered, the level of assistance used, tire choice, external conditions (wind, etc.) and battery size. Because of that, it is impossible to give even a somewhat accurate estimate.

When the specific bike model, battery size and other relevant variables are known, it’s possible to give estimates with certain conditions, such as the level of assistance used and so on.

Q: Is it possible to use the bike while the battery is discharged?

Yes. The bike is 100% rideable. Because of the design on the drive unit, it can only be run with the lowest gear if the battery has run out completely. To counteract this, our software has been developed to conserve battery life to control the gears as long as possible.

Q: When will the drivetrain be generally available for sale with bike manufacturers in the US? What is the price range?

The Revonte ONE Drive System has been available for the US bike manufacturers since the launch of the system. Pricing is always negotiated case by case, since it’s dependent on several factors, such as the number of bike models, quantities and so on.

Q: Can you provide a demo of the transmission software on YouTube? Is the software open source.

The software is proprietary by nature as one could expect. However, some aspects of it or at least the basic functions and thought processes behind the development might be shared later on. Youtube would a good platform for this.

Q: When will we see full-suspension MTBs or fatbikes on the market (in my case in Germany) with Revonte Drive System? And in which price-range?

The launch of the first Revonte-equipped full-suspension MTB is solely dependent on bike manufacturers and who wants to take the lead in this front. We have already announced the first wave of e-bike manufacturers to use the Revonte ONE Drive System and more will follow.

The price range is a decision that the bike manufacturer makes and is dependent on several factors, such as the frame, materials used, components and so on.

Q: Is the Revonte system available for the public and what’s the price?

At the moment we are providing the Revonte ONE Drive System only to bike manufacturers. It is yet to be decided if it will be available outside of the OEM market. We will provide further information about availability, pricing and other conditions when and if the subject becomes relevant.

Q: In the early photos we have seen belt drive, but it seems it’s gone now, and all marketing material uses a chain. I assume the belt or chain is outside of Revonte’s offering, but I would like to know if we can expect belt driven Revonte bikes in the future or not.

Yes, our first render images used a belt drive. It’s not outside our offering or list of options by any means, but chain drive certainly is more common, affordable and easier to install. The use of a belt drive is solely a choice to be made by the bike manufacturer. The Revonte ONE Drive System will adapt to it without any limitations.

Q: Some questions related to belt drive. What are the impediments for a belt system? Is a belt itself more expensive than a chain? Does a belt wear too quickly? Can a belt transfer the required torque reliably?

Belt drives are inherently more expensive than a traditional chain. One can verify that just by looking at the prices for belts and “chainrings” required to use them. The more complex geometry alone needed for the “chainrings” increases the price somewhat. The durability of a high-quality belt is no less than a chain and it can even outlast a chain, which is something to consider since belts require zero maintenance. A belt can be very stiff, even stiffer than a chain in some cases so no power losses will occur even on the highest amount of torques.

Q: Is it too expensive to make a frame that can be opened (for putting on the belt) or is it just that most bike manufacturers don’t want to slow down the time to market by designing a frame for belt drive?

The construction of a belt-compatible frame is more complex and therefore more costly, but not considerably. Adding the feature needed (e.g. a drive side dropout with a bolt connection) is up to the bike and/or frame manufacturers to decide. The good thing about belt compatibility does not exclude the use of chain and therefore we are a big supporter of belt drive.

Q: How hard or easy it’s to drive without electric assistance? (in case the battery happens to go low and you are lost in the forest).

Easy, very easy indeed. The inherent drag on the drive unit is on the same level as in the rest of the market and perhaps even more towards the lower end. The design principle of our drive unit dictates that the motor can only be run on the lowest gear when the battery has run out.

Our software has features to make the drive system work as economically as possible to prevent unwanted occurrences of running out of battery life mid-ride.

Software as a Service – a New Look into E-bikes

Jukka Mäennenä on 2020-04-07

Until now e-bikes are seen only as hardware that provides a means for transportation. The addition of electricity and circuit boards to a 200-years old invention can open doors that haven’t been discovered before. E-bikes can be so much more when some “smarts” are added to them and we are on our way in doing that.

The Mechanical Foundation

It goes without saying that a sound mechanical structure is a prerequisite for a well-functioning e-bike, no matter if it’s a frame, wheels or in our case, the drive unit.

Revonte ONE Drive System is based on robust and time-tested mechanical design, which is further refined to match the demands of an e-bike drive train. No matter how advanced or ingenious the drive units design is, there’s a limit when it comes to versatility.

A drive unit that functions solely on mechanical principles is inherently limited. One does not simply have the space needed to add extra gears, differentials, cogs and, belts into the mix. If the motor compartment is limited in the automotive world, the real estate inside of an e-bike drive unit is truly at a premium.

Software in Command

When electronics are added to the mix and highly developed software is put in command, several limitations are overcome and possibilities grow almost exponentially!

When the motor provides the working basis for the drive unit and the finer actions are left to the smart party – software that is – a whole new level of possibilities are brought to the table, such as:

Automatic and stepless function – the thing Revonte ONE Is known for. On the other hand, software preferences allow the use of traditional indexed shifting, if one wishes so.
Ride-diagnostics include tracking, mapping functions and service needs of the bicycle.
Anti-theft feature. The bike can be disabled remotely in case if it ends up in the wrong hands.

Software at Your Service

Besides the features listed above, the software-first approach enables a wide range of possibilities – some that have only been thought of before and some completely new.

For example, the shared economy model is growing rapidly since people prefer to pay for the service and utility functions of products. In certain cases, owning something is more of a liability than an asset. With the growing density of cities and other changes in the urban landscape, the shared economy model simply makes sense. A small number of cars already work in this way. Bicycles are catching up and possibly even taking the lead soon! The highly adaptable software platform enables service providers, housing cooperatives and alike to harness the power of e-bikes to a large group of people with only a nominal fee compared to buying and owning a bike.

The shared economy model has a lot in common with rental use. One could argue that it’s renting with the exception that it’s limited to a certain group of users. Since the commonalities are clear, the software can be easily adapted to be used as a platform for operating a rental fleet of bikes.

The Revonte ONE Drive System has been planned from the start to have continuous updates. In other words, the bike and the ride-experience get better over time! It’s the opposite of what happens to utility products by default! Several update packages will be available so that the end-user can choose what features he or she deems necessary and is willing to pay for – an approach which is standard practice in computer programs and phone apps.

The Next Step

Inventing the wheel was the first necessary step in the birth of the bicycle. The invention of chain-drive, pneumatic tires and gears have been some of the major milestones in the later developmental arc.

It can be argued that the addition of electrical assistance and smart features provided by the software is the next big step! It enables features and possibilities that haven’t existed before and on top of that, one can choose the right combination of features and services that are considered beneficial and necessary – just like on a smartphone.

Here at Revonte, we are taking the leading role with the revolutionary Revonte ONE Drive System. The first wave of e-bike manufacturers to use our drive system has been announced already. The latest addition broadens our operating field to cargo e-bikes which are among the fastest-growing sectors in both bicycles and logistics. We are thinking beyond the hardware and are excited to see the possibilities that lay ahead.

Ride Experience Is More Than Performance Metrics

Jukka Mäennenä on 2020-02-21

Evaluating e-bike drive systems is a lot more than comparing performance metrics, i.e. peak power or peak torque values. Numbers do matter but a lot remains hidden if the assessment is done purely based on them. To deliver an exceptional ride experience, the drive system needs to work in smooth harmony to determine how the available power is used
Read further to learn more about the thinking behind the Revonte ONE Drive System and why the ride experience it offers is like no other.

Revonte in action — The Revonte ONE Drive System demonstrating the unprecedented ride experience during the Revonte ONE test drive video shoot.

Beyond Numbers

The mechanical design behind the Revonte ONE Drive System generates plenty of power even for the most challenging user-cases and conditions. Besides having a robust, time-tested and reliable mechanical construction, it was clear from the start that the raw numbers should also meet a high standard.

As the name suggests, Revonte ONE Drive System is compatible with all and every type of e-bikes, including cargo bikes which demand a lot of torque to move respectable payloads.

We would have liked to announce the performance metrics of our drive system in a similar fashion to one well-known British car manufacturer as stating simply: “Enough.”

However, the number of questions and inquiries related to this domain reaches overwhelming quantities quickly which is the reason we decided to take the unequivocal route.

Control Precedes Power

To put it shortly, raw power is important. Deficiencies in that department will show up in the form of slow acceleration and sluggish uphill performance among other things. No amount of power is useful though if it’s not controlled. A drag car can drive a straight line with considerable speed, but it turns almost useless when the first turn in the road presents itself.

E-bike and the desired ride experience demands a lot more than merely delivering the most amount of watts or horsepowers to the rear wheel. Contol in the form of timing and the amount of power delivered is of the essence here – and we tackled the challenge to perfect that.

To reach the desired assistance characteristics, the rider inputs are monitored continuously by the software among the incline, speed, and other relevant metrics. Based on the gathered data, the software calculates the right amount of assistance for every moment. It takes a considerable amount of work in the form of programming, testing and repeating this development loop more times than we care to count, but the resulting magic in the form of ride experience provided is worth it.

Real-life Examples

Our recent and test ride video provides an ample amount of examples of how the Revonte ONE Drive System ride experience is ahead of the game.

Acceleration with a steady cadence – Using indexed manual gears requires constant changes in cadence for keeping in the optimal range for human-based power output. With the automatic function of the Revonte ONE Drive System, the whole acceleration can be done with a steady cadence, i.e. 70 or 90RPM.
Smooth assistance – The nature of how the power is dosed from the motor to the rear wheel plays a major role in the ride experience. A quick and large burst of power gives a feeling similar to a motorbike, whereas a more mild-mannered dose of power preserves the feeling of a traditional bicycle. Either one of these and anything in between can be had because of the highly configurable nature of the drive system.
Option to choose – It poses no problem if one wants to use a more traditional type indexed shifting. The switch from automatic to manual and back can be done easily via our App.
Intuitive use – the human-machine interface is important but oftentimes overlooked aspect of the drive system. We took great care to make our Remote design right.
Focus on the essentials – Revonte ONE Drive System makes riding easy so that one can focus on the things that matter the most, the surroundings and ride itself.

Software First

The recipe for ultimate ride experience constitutes of ingenious mechanical design which is further enhanced with a highly developed software. The vast amount of options for configuring the behavior and the ride characteristics built into the software which forms the core of the Revonte ONE Drive System. As our CEO Otto Chrons eloquently put it in a recent interview:

“For us, all the cool things are in the software.”

The unprecedented ride experience is a lot more than just having lots of power and transferring it quickly to propulsion. We have taken great care to design the Revonte ONE Drive System that it fills the demands of every type of e-bike in the market and perhaps even exceeds the rider expectations.
