Summary

the REVI BIKES Runabout, a cool, compact cargo e-bike that’s here to shake things up. This nifty ride isn’t your typical cargo bike. Unlike those big, bulky ones stretching up to 80 inches, the Runabout keeps it short and sweet at 67 inches in total length. Picture it as the Subaru Baja of e-bikes—versatile, agile, and perfect for urban explorers.

One of the standout features is its step-through frame, making mounting and dismounting a breeze. It’s all about convenience and comfort with a relaxed seating position and wide handlebars. While cruising, you’ll notice the sturdy 20-inch tires with a 3-inch width, ensuring stability and grip. Though it lacks reflective sidewalls, the 13-gauge spokes and rigid aluminum fork provide robustness for city cruising.

Upfront, the Runabout sports a practical front rack, perfect for carrying a backpack or your favorite Slurpee. Adjustability is a theme here, with a stem offering 60-degree tilt and 100-millimeter length, catering to riders of all preferences. The handlebars have a gentle back sweep, enhancing the laid-back vibe.

The controls are straightforward yet functional. Faux leather grips with neat stitching, a responsive twist throttle, and easy-to-reach four-finger brake levers ensure a smooth ride. The Tektro mechanical disc brakes, paired with 160-millimeter rotors, offer reliability and simplicity, especially for those who enjoy some DIY maintenance.

Underneath, the Runabout features a Shimano 7-speed shifter, ideal for tackling various terrains. The pearl white aluminum frame is both stylish and accessible, boasting a standover height of just 15.5 inches. Quick-release on the seat post and a handy rear rack enhance its practicality.

Cargo capacity is where the Runabout shines. With a rear basket option priced at $69, you can carry gallons of milk or your daily haul without breaking a sweat. The rear rack is integrated into the frame, supporting a total load of 310 pounds, including the rider. Whether you’re a banana delivery enthusiast or a city commuter, this e-bike has got you covered.

Let’s talk electrics! Powering this beast is a 500-watt motor peaking at 1000 watts, delivering 90 Nm of torque. The 48-volt, 14 amp-hour battery is a powerhouse, promising a range of up to 30 miles on a single charge. Centrally mounted, it balances the bike’s weight distribution perfectly.

The control display, though compact, keeps it simple. It shows speed, pedal assist levels, and battery life. It’s not about overwhelming you with data but keeping things focused on the ride. The throttle lets you zip to speeds of 23-24 mph, even when fully loaded, but remember, speed and weight will impact battery life.

When fully loaded, the Runabout remains nimble and easy to handle. Adjusting the seat height and keeping the weight low enhances stability. While it may get a bit squirrely at lower speeds, once you’re cruising, it feels like a dream.

Optional accessories, like the leather pannier bags with reflective stripes, add versatility. These bags are practical for daily commutes and quick errands, fitting snugly on the rear rack. Just remember, it’s a one-or-the-other choice between bags and baskets.

In conclusion, the REVI BIKES Runabout is a refreshing take on the cargo e-bike scene. It’s compact, powerful, and ready for your urban adventures. Whether you’re loading up at Costco or cruising through the park, this bike is here to make every ride a joyride.
