Gears and motor are then controlled by the same electronics and removing gears from the wheel simplifies its attachment at the rear end of the bike. We have designed a new model - the Lavelle P2R - specifically for the Revote ONE system and it has allowed us as designers to sculpt a radical single-sided bike while still maintaining a wide range fully automatic gear system. We are excited to launch this bike which offers a super comfortable riding position paired with a beautiful and simple design.Paul Lavelle, Founder of Lavelle Bikes.

While other drive systems feel exactly the same on different bikes, Revonte ONE can really be customized by the bike designer to deliver unique riding characteristics. Having all those features in a very compact form factor is fantastic for a bike designer, as it gives a lot of freedom.Rolf Singenberger, CEO of RS Development.
