BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less.

The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

- Revibikes offers the Runabout.2 in four eye-catching colorways: Pink, Water Blue, Cream, and Matte Black.
- The Runabout.2 is rated for 4'11" to 6'2". A 6’5” rider says they find it comfortable.

- Experts appreciate the ride comfort but say it could still benefit from a suspension seatpost.
- A reviewer is happy to see name-brand Samsung battery cells at this price point.
- An expert notes that end caps on the lock-on ergonomic grips make it easier to install bar-end mirrors.
- The hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors work well in testing, though one expert says they require slightly more effort at the brake lever than usual.
- The Kenda Cursor 3” tires roll smoothly on-road.
- A tester savors the large, grippy pedals.
6 reasons not to buy
- Both owners and a former sales agent complain of very poor customer support.
- Revibikes appears to be a Chinese e-bike maker masquerading as an American company with local roots and a ‘cool’ story.
- Revibikes says the Runabout.2 suits riders from 4’11”, but the 29.1" minimum seat height is unlikely to fit riders below 5’6”.
- The display is hard to read through polarized sunglasses.
- Revibikes warns that the battery cannot handle more than three to four minutes in heavy rain. This reduces the Runabout.2’s utility as a commuter.
- An expert bemoans the lack of space between the shifter and brake lever.
Bottom line
Revibikes’ Runabout.2 is a low-step fat-tire e-commuter with a 750W motor, 780Wh battery, and basic suspension fork. Reviewers praise the smooth assistance, comfortable riding position, and great brakes. The “bright” integrated lights and wide fenders win points. The 3” Kenda Cursor tires roll smoothly, and the suspension fork absorbs most bumps on the road. The 65lb weight and 29” minimum seat height may prove challenging for smaller riders. Reviewers haven’t tested the real-world battery range. Overall, testers think the Runabout.2 offers good value as a commuter, but potential buyers should consider the warnings about poor customer support.
