Motor and Power

The Revolver Alpha 65H is an IPM brushless motor rated to 180°C, running on a 92V+ system. Electro & Co rates it at 18,000 W and 70+ mph, with two power modes and a hole shot mode for launches. That's an extreme amount of speed for a 14/12-inch-wheel bike. It's for experienced riders who know exactly what they're getting into.

Battery, Range and Charging

The 80V 30Ah pack charges to 92.4V. Electro & Co says it gives the same range as a 72V 35Ah pack: 30–60 miles on the stock battery, depending on how you ride. It's hot swappable with no tools, and the system is expandable up to a 72V 45Ah battery. A 4.5A charger is included, and the bike is ready for a 12A fast charger.

Suspension, Brakes and Chassis

This is a premium pit bike chassis. It has 48 mm E&C-tuned DNM forks and a DNM reservoir shock, both fully adjustable and set up stiff. CNC 6061 triple clamps and bar clamps hold the front end together. The tubular steel frame uses a replaceable subframe and an extra-rigid swingarm with CNC MX-style axle blocks. Wheels are CNC hubs with stainless spokes and 7075 aluminum rims. 4-piston disc brakes at both ends handle the speed.

The pegs are ultra grippy on a CNC 6061 mount with adjustable positions. Electro & Co notes the bike is water resistant, not fully waterproof, and needs some assembly (about 1 hour).
