Hello,

Has anyone here heard of Revopower? I found this fascinating when I came across their advertisement roughly 1 year go.

Here's a link to the site. http://www.revopower.com/

I like that it has a very quite exhaust and easy to assemble and is not bulky.

I just wanted to know if anyone here was thinking about buying one or had heard of it?

welcome inri. i have read about them but like you i would love to here more. hopefully someone has seen them and will share with us

Thanks for the quick reply.

Ya, unfortunatley they have put off their "Grand Opening" before stating more quality control over their product. I believe they are set to launch first quarter in '08. I have been keeping my eye out for a while for any updates.

I'll post when I hear anything,

I too am interested.
A current customer (now friend) spiked my curiousity regarding those little things...shame on him, lol.
He is on the waiting list, and has already pre-paid (from what I understand). When it gets released, and actually gets here I'll get to take a good look at it (hopefully). If I'm thinking right, he was originally supposed to have it about a year and a half ago, lol. Talk about a slow delivery

Price range?
I'd be a little leery of pre-paying though...think "Tucker automobiles" and "Bede Aircraft".

I believe the price range will be starting at $599 and up. The dealer will also be able to place the wheel on your bike.

Heres a link I found by Popular Science on the Revo Wheel. The article must be from last year because it states the release date as "Early 2007"Pedaling is So 2005 - Popular Science

Hi all,

Revo Power is nothing radically new....

Check out Revo 1897 Style!

Amazing they would have something like that so far back!

Oops I thought it would print out the caption to the pic too....I'll cut and paste it below:

1897 motorcycle, showing the common ancestry of motorized bicycles and motorcycles. Note the radial engine built into the back wheel.

(The man's name wouldn't fit on the cut and paste)

Looks pretty cool but I think I would want all that weight on my rear wheel rather than the front. Seems like it might have an adverse affect on handling. Looks like it doesn't have a clutch though...you'd have to pedal start it EVERY time you stopped.
