Ride1Up's Revv1 EVO to Use Solid State Battery Tech, MA Aims to Categorize Mobility Devices By Speed, CPSC Bike Light Recall | TWR Ep 82
"Ride1Up's Revv1 EVO Brings Solid State Battery Tech to the Market The Revv1 EVO, announced by Ride1Up this week, is an updated take on the brand's moped-style e-bike. While familiar-looking, its styling closely resembles recent releases from Juiced and Super73. The EVO boasts high battery capacity, longer life, faster charging, and improved durability and cold weather performance when compared with lithium-ion technology."
"Ride1Up's website claims that the bike's battery has a lifespan of over 1,200 charge cycles and a full charge time of 2 hours with a 9A fast charger. For perspective, current lithium-ion batteries typically last 500-1,000 cycles, and the EVO's 1,040 Wh battery would take around 6.5 hours to recharge with a standard 3A lithium-ion battery charger."
"Additionally, a bill in Massachusetts seeks to categorize e-bikes and other mobility devices by their maximum speeds. Is this a positive step in the right direction or will it simply overcomplicate an already complex topic?"
"If you have an e-bike with an MIK cargo rack, you won't want to miss a cool cargo basket that we highlighted this week. Of course, even if you don't have an MIK cargo rack, Bikase's Universal MIK Carrier Plate can make any bike rack compatible with locking, quick-release MIK accessories."
Ride1Up announced the Revv1 EVO, a moped-style e-bike with a semi-solid-state power pack aimed at next-generation battery performance. The battery is claimed to last over 1,200 charge cycles and to fully charge in about 2 hours using a 9A fast charger. The report contrasts this with typical lithium-ion cycle life of 500–1,000 cycles and longer recharge times for a 1,040 Wh battery using a standard 3A charger. The news also includes a Massachusetts bill that would categorize e-bikes and other mobility devices by maximum speed. Additional items cover a Bikase cargo basket compatible with MIK accessories and a recall involving nearly 10,000 bike lights with a potential safety hazard to children.
