  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this product.
  • Only use the genuine Revvi charger that has been supplied with the bike! Never use a different charger! If you need a replacement charger please contact Revvi ltd or an authorized dealer.

Thermal Incident danger
Lithium-ion batteries have a high thermal incident risk
Lithium-ion batteries are safe under normal conditions, but if the battery is exposed to overcharge, extrusion, collision, flooding water and other condition. Battery expansion, deformation and cracking, will lead to battery short circuiting and over heating.
Cut off the power firstly. Secondly, the battery should be immediately cooling treatment, water rescue is the best solution. If the fire grow stronger, use an ABC dry powder extinguisher or a CO2 extinguisher to extinguish the fire, and then cool the damaged battery with water until completely cooled. Finally, move the damaged battery to safe area and quickly evacuate the surroundings. If possible, Remove the combustibles around the damaged battery.
warningAttention

  1. Do not use ice to cool lithium batteries. Because it prevents internal heat from escaping, the internal temperature will rise rapidly and electrolyte gases will accumulate, potentially causing the battery to explode.
  2. Even if there is an open flame, do not use foam fire extinguisher. The foam is attached to the periphery of the battery to form a thermal insulator, which increases the chemical reaction and produces more heat.

Bike Controls

Bike Controls

Battery Removal and Fitting

Battery Removal and Fitting - Step 1

Battery Removal:

  • Turn off the power. Rest the bike on its side gently.
  • Remove the protection plate. It his held on with two hand bolt fixings.
  • Ensure the charger is not connected to the battery.
  • Unlatch the battery lock mechanism and pull the battery out from the frame.

Battery fitting:

  • Gently push the battery into the frame until it locks in place.
  • Fit the protection plate using the two hand bolt fixings.
    NOTE: Never use the bike with out the protection plate fitted. It is important to protect the battery from damage when riding and to ensure the battery does not come out of the bike.

Battery Removal and Fitting - Step 2

Brake Lever Adjustment

Adjust the position of the brake lever to and from the handlebars using the adjustment screw on the brake lever (see below)

Please double check the brake function before riding!
Brake Lever Adjustment

Seat Height Adjustment

Adjusting the seat height: Use the quick release clamp to tighten or release the seat. Move the seat up and down to the desired height. Use the adjuster to increase or reduce the strength of the clamp. The seat post should not be set higher then the security line. Failure to obey the security line can damage the frame.
Seat Height Adjustment

Handlebar Height

You can adjust the handlebar height on your bike by moving the 10mm headstock spacers below and above the handlebar clamp. This model has 3 x 10mm headstock spacers.

Please note: Tighten the handlebar clamp bolts before riding.
Handlebar Height

Kickstand

Kickstand
The kick stand is supplied in the box not fitted to the bike! It can easily be fitted if you would like to use it.

DO NOT FIT THIS KICK STAND TO THE BIKE IF YOU PLAN TO JUMP THE BIKE! IT COULD FOLD DOWN WHEN JUMPING!

Motor Overload

The Revvi eighteen bike has heat protection overload. If you overload the bike/motor due to one of the following reasons the motor will cut off and stop working to prevent damage:

  • The rider is too heavy. Over 50kg.
  • The ground is to soft.
  • You are riding up to many hills/inclines.

If the motor overloads and cuts off, allow the bike/motor to cool down before riding again.
When the motor overload kicks in the lights on the throttle will stay on indicating power, but the motor will not engage when the throttle is turned!

Front / Rear Wheel Assembly


Maintenance/parts replacement should be carried out by a qualified mechanic!
Front / Rear Wheel Assembly

Front wheel disassembling
First use an wrench to loosen the fixing nuts on the left and right sides of the front wheel, then hold the handlebar and lift the front fork, and the front wheel can be removed, This is a 2 person operation.

Front wheel assembling
Lift the front fork of the bike, align the axle on both sides of the front wheel hub with the holes on the lower part of the front forks, install the front wheel into the front fork, and tighten the fixing nuts on the left and right sides of the front wheel with an open-ended spanner to install the front wheel. This is a 2 person operation.
Front wheel assembling

Rear wheel disassembling
First, unplug the connector between the rear hub motor and the controller, then feed the wire out from the swing arm. Use a spanner to loosen the nuts on each side of the rear wheel. Lift the rear swing arm to remove the rear wheel. This is a 2 person operation.

Rear wheel assembling
First, align the axle on both sides of the rear hub motor with the axle holes at the lower part of the swing arm, install the axle of the rear hub motor into the swing arm, insert the anti-drop washers into the countersunk platforms of the swing arm on the right and left side.
Feed the wire of the rear hub motor through the ring in the swing arm, connect the motor wire of the rear hub with the controller wire, and then Tighten the fastening nuts, This is a 2 person operation.

Check the condition of front and rear tires

  1. Check whether there are cuts or sharp objects in the front and rear tyres, if you find an issue replace the tyre.
  2. Check whether the tread depth of front and rear tires meets the tread depth required for the riding conditions. If it does not please replace the tyre.
  3. Check the service life of tires. It is suggested that tires need to be replaced after 3 years of service, regardless of tire wear.

Check front and rear tire pressure
Remove the valve cap and measure whether the tire pressure is suitable for the riding conditions. We recommend 20 - 25psi for most conditions. If the pressure is incorrect please adjust using a pump. Once the pressure is correct re-fit the valve cap.

Check front and rear wheel spoke tension
Before each time riding the bike check if the spokes are loose, the tension of the spokes should be tested. If the spokes are loose, a qualified mechanic should tighten them.

Rear Shock Pump


The rear shock can be pumped up to a maximum of 140psi. To check/pump the rear shock you will need an MTB shock pump as shown below. Check the rear shock pressure at least once per month. To make the shock softer you can reduce the pressure using the bleed valve. This will make the shock softer and the rebound slower. If you reduce the pressure too much the shock will not rebound, and the travel will be reduced.
Rear Shock Pump - Step 1


Maintenance/parts replacement should be carried out by a qualified mechanic!
When your brake pad material is low you need to replace the brake pads following the steps shown below:


Loosen the two allen key bolts holding the caliper to the forks/swing arm. Remove the caliper.

Rear Shock Pump - Step 2
Remove the split pin from the caliper using needle nose pliers.

Rear Shock Pump - Step 3
Remove the brake pads from the caliper, then remove the pads from the pad tensioner.

Rear Shock Pump - Step 4
Fit the new pads into the pad tensioner. Now fit the pads and pad tensioner into the caliper.

Rear Shock Pump - Step 5
Feed the split pin through the caliper, pads and pad tensioner. Bend the end of the split pin so the pads are secure and will not fall out. Attach and tighten the caliper to the forks/swing arm using the orginal allen key bolts.

Front fork adjustment

You can adjust the pre- load and compression of the front using the adjusters on the forks as shown below:
Front fork adjustment

Maintenance Schedule

Please follow the maintenance schedule shown below:

Maintenance Item Maintenance cycle Tools and Remark
Head set parts/bearings One year Grease
