Revolutionworks Reviews 

I have the utmost respect for the project of Revolution Works. The Revos concept is simple and effective. It will work well for the majority of cyclists, especially those living and cycling in hilly terrain.

Despite assurances that the Revos would fit simply to "any bike", it didn't fit mine. My bike's a Trek FX hybrid, so hardly a rare or exotic model.

To get the Revos to fit, I've had to:
--drill a hole in the downtube and insert a threaded rivet so I can fit the battery holder because it wouldn't attach to the two pre-existing holes for the bottle holder (to do this, I had to buy a right-angle drill converter and shorter drill bit, so that the drill fitted in the space between the top- and down-tubes, as well as a box of zinc-coated steel threaded rivets and a threaded rivet tool)
--replace the 35mm hybrid tyres with new 25mm road tyres (and new innertubes) so that I can fit the drive unit behind the seat tube
--significantly adjust the v-brakes to fit the lower-circumference wheels
--move the front derailleur further up the seat tube so that I can fit the pedal assist sensor (it won't fit on the downtube or chain stay), and
--significantly adjust the front derailleur so that it still changes gears.

The Revos isn't cheap to begin with so I hope it turns out to be worth the extra expense and effort involved in fitting it.

Customer service from Revolutionworks was top class, very helpful. I tried out a bike before purchasing the Revos ebike conversion kit. The kit was reasonably straight forward for my husband to fit. He could only use one of the screw holes on my bike frame to secure the battery because the other wasn't in the correct place but used a tie wrap to make sure it was securely fitted. Haven't been out on a long ride yet but very impressed with how it performed on the local hills. I'm certain it will make cycling much more enjoyable for me. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would certainly recommend Revolutionworks Ltd. I'm glad I was able to support a local business who manufactures in the UK.

I love my new electrified bike! Hugo at Revolution Works couldn't have been more helpful from letting me try their bike to helping with fitting and my first test ride. I thoroughly recommend this product and this company, who are local to me, and have come up with an innovative product. I will be making fewer car journeys as a result of fitting the Revos system to a much loved pedal bike.

This is a really nice company making innovative eBike products in the UK. Really happy to support them.

Yes fun can be quick but I'd prefer something with stamina for the £600 PRICE TAG! thankyou for your reply but I assure you the tyre pressure and tension of the unit are optimum.

We have bought both a Revos and a Whippet, both are really high quality products. The Revos was fitted to my existing bike (which I love) to a really high standard and it works brilliantly. The Whippet is really light and so much better than the bulky bikes that we trialled. Alistair was so helpful and made the whole experience great. I would really recommend both products.

It is a great product, with high standard of quality, very silent and with enough power to help you in climbing a hill. It's my first time using an item to help me out riding my bicycle with more power, so in my first impression it works fine. If there is something to improve in the product would be to have different levels of assitance during your riding. Congratulations to the people who works in this project and god bless you.

Purchased my revo kit in July 2021 fitted to my hybrid 700c bike. Easy to fit, absolutely no wear to tyre after 100s of miles. I like to ride bike without assistance too just turn it off and no noticeable drag from unit.
I get around 25 miles per charge. Its quiet and just works.
My only advice is to glue sensor disk to pedal crank. I used hot glue gun. As it peels off if needed. This stops the disk from slipping.
Really pleased with it. Nice and light.

After receiving Revos electric bike conversion kit I installed on my mountain bike, set up was straight forward so I was ready for my first test ride. And wow as recent reviews said was just like someone was pushing you up the hills.
Makes cycling up hills so much easier, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to converting there bike to electric.

I found revolutionworks ltd while looking for e-bike conversion kits, after looking at their video, everything looked straightforward, with just a few items to fit.
After a telephone call to find out if the system would fit my recumbent , I sent some pictures , and a previously used part was sent to check if it would fit, success, so I decided to proceed and place an order, looking forward to to its arrival, the team were very very helpful and i recommend them if you are thinking of an e-bike kit.----AW

take efforts to make sure the product fit my bike

Quick response, unfortunately there are delays in shipping as a result of Brexit, Revolutionworks customer service is quick and efficient.

I bought the Revos as a pledge as part of the Kickstarter fund raiser.
I am sceptical of using these campaigns though the Revos seemed reassuringly good with lots of updates and questions were clearly answered. So now over two years since I have had the drive fitted to my bike, I am still pretty well satisfied. With a pair of 208wh batteries I can obtain approx. 50miles range with power.

Really great service and excellent product

I have recently bought a Revos for my Pinnacle Irocu mountain bike. The purchasing experience was excellent, with great communication from the team. I used Cyclescheme, and the process was incredibly straightforward.

The Revos itself seems a great piece of kit. I swapped my knobbly off-road tyres for some commuter tyres for optimum results. It was a tight squeeze between the seat post and wheel, and I found dropping the wheel off at the start of fitting, and then replacing the wheel when tightening everything up worked best. Getting the "lollipop" pedal sensor fitted took a bit of trial end error. If I had one criticism it is that the instructions around this particular element are not great. In total though it took about 30 minutes to install. Then a little bit of adjustment. It is, all in all, very straightforward, and no technical knowledge is needed.

The Revos itself is fantastic. I am a tall chap, so am quite heavy, my mountain bike is definitely heavy, and I'm using it with a bike trailer containing my 2 year old. This is naturally going to push the limits of the Revos capabilities, particularly with the hilly area in which I live. The Revos however handles this with few problems. I still have to put some effort in, and it responds to the amount of effort I'm adding, but we spin up the hills with no problems at all.

Basically for £500 I've turned a little used mountain bike (I'm a roadie through and through!) into a daily commuter vehicle. Brilliant.

*** EDIT

Unfortunately the Revos has proved unreliable. First time I took it out in the rain it broke. I sent it back, at my own expense, and was told there was a manufacturing fault with the waterproofing, it was repaired and returned. A couple of months later a similar fault. Again returned at my own expense, again a manufacturing issue with the waterproofing, repaired and returned.
I refitted the Revos, this time on a roadbike, to make the most of the lighter frame. I have now had it 6 months and it is again faulty (this being the third time). This time the "lollipop" sensor only detects one pedal stroke in two, causing the motor to repeatedly shut down. Very irritating. I should probably return it for another repair, but that would make £30 spent on returns, and I'm not sure I can find the enthusiasm to bother.
A good idea, and when fully operational it's brilliant. Sadly though it's not properly worked for me since that first rain shower. I would recommend purchasing with caution.

The REVOS arrived very quickly by TNT courier.

I installed the REVOS e bike kit AFTER reading the instructions first which I can only recommend before you start.

I charged the battery full (blue light on top of the battery) and it is amazing. You still have to do your bit but the hills are very easy to climb.

It is just if someone is giving you a push in the back.

Thank you very much for developing this ebike kit.

I love my revos! I had a few problems setting it up initially but the phone support was excellent and when I was still unable to sort my issue I was able to take it in and the team sorted it for me with no problem. Very impressed. It is really helping me tackle my hilly Bristol commute with confidence!

Revolutionworks Revos kit arrived today. It was well packed and labelled to warn about Lithium in the battery, The package was sealed with strong tape and the whole thing was really compact for what it is. Very impressive. I had to wait a week or two for it, but Revolutionworks were in touch throughout with information and checking whether my bike was suitable etc. I have already fitted it. Everything I needed was in the package, apart from the tools I needed for other parts of my bike.
