With all the “cracking down” local governments are doing with e-bikes and e-motos I’ve been getting nervous about the reality of owning a Revv1.

I plan to have my crimson red for several years. But I have NO clue what the laws and enforcement will look like in the future. I’m scared that owning one of these for general commuting (which is what I bought it for) won’t be viable anymore because of the threat of tickets/impounding.

I used to ride (very respectfully) on my local bike path / greenbelt, but now avoid it. I try to ride on roads instead but my city recently passed “no e-bikes on the road” laws.

More and more every day I want to cut my losses and sell this thing to get an inconspicuous mid-drive bike. Or maybe even bite the bullet and get a full on moped/motorcycle and pay for insurance. Does anyone else worry about this too?

I’ve owned this for little over a week and just finished adding all my little mods to it. I’m super happy with it!

-tiny amazon windshield
-cup holder
-phone mount

I threw my old white Super73 in for comparison. I love the Revv1. Hits 35mph easily. Much zippier and much more comfortable. My only gripe is how heavy it is. It makes moving it and locking it a bit of a headache.
