Useless warranty and battery faults. I communicated an issue with the USB charging port on my battery two days after I received the Revel Kit and they offered no replacement. Then, during warranty the whole battery stopped working and they still wouldn't replace it. I thought the 6 month warranty would cover a replacement of this faulty product. They suggested I have the battery fixed locally so I had a skilled technician look at it and they told me the batteries are lacking quality control where they were produced. There were many weak solder connections and loose wiring... The technician fixed the battery but it stopped working again soon after. Waste of money and not what you expect when you pay this amount. I'm not happy with Revel and will buy local next time.

This kit is amazing ordered the extended battery and cloud wheels. Super fast 25 mph and I’m 205lbs. Accelerates uphill. Great range. Considering a second kit. Thanks!!

Fan-fricking-tastic! Goes really well with BoardUp. The ability to customize your ride in every aspect is absolutely great. If you have the imagination, your options are limitless. All in all, the best diy kit one can buy.

I waited a long time to order since they did not deliver to where I was living but as soon as I got my hands on my Kits I was loving it from the first ride. Great quality. It feels like a premium product.

So this is me review after one week of using the kit in London, and I think the best word would be to describe the kit would be “potential”. To explain what I mean by this is that the kit has loads of room to become one of the best on the market however it just hasn’t happened yet and unfortunately it has some let downs / problems. One of these may not affect you buy it does for me, this would be the design aspect of kit, for me the remote is to small and becomes uncomfortable after a while and the screen cover can become scratched quickly. Also the power button on the kit it self is also a bit small and has rough edges on it causing it to scrap against my thumb (boosted board did this right with a big button on it). Further the battery when taken out about 10 times starts to develop a big scratch mark down the middle of it and a dent in the middle and if your not careful you can put the battery incorrectly into the kit with one side higher than the other (a better system for the removing battery would be like mellow uses a “clip in” style it would allow for 4wd on smaller boards) also for also the battery doesn’t have the best range compared to others ( I think there working on a better version) Also the kits IP rating is not the best compared to others such as the mellow kit or unlimited x loaded. These I know are not easy fixes but should be considered for any future model / update. However the kit has lots of good things such as the direct drive system is the best I have seen, very smooth and quiet. Also the customer service at revel is brilliant (very helpful people and reply quickly) it also comes with a front truck included unlike mellow kit and has the ability to use different wheels due to the direct drive system unlike hub motors To end I would thing Of revel kit as a WIP, the kit still has a long way to go still and as long as they don’t abandon it, it will become one of the best eskate kits you can get anywhere. I will still support and use revel as i can see that they have faith in there product however it just needs improvements in areas of the whole kit. I mean no disrespect to anyone at revel and I’m basically suggesting improvements that I feel would make the kit better

PROS - the interchangeable wheels are nice to have, the ability to move the kit from one board to another, the reliability is very good after a couple of months of use the kit is FAST 28mph and about 35 mph with 2 in 4WD mode Cons - it could of had a better IP rating, It should come with a cover for when the battery is removed, as on the kit the contacts are exposed and could be easily damaged if mishandled such as at an airport, a Mobile app would be nice but not essential.

The Revel Kit is really nice because it allows you to easily change your setup from one deck to the next depending on what you are skating and you can easily do the same with he wheels and the bushings. Add on some Shredlights and you can skate day and night. I believe top speed is lower than they claim but it’s still very fast. The extended battery has a great range and I easy can hit 10 mile cruises without issue. I would like to see a cover for the remote because it’s easily scratched if you take a spill but otherwise it’s a great kit. The downside is their communication and the fact that they continue to push the 3 weeks to delivery pitch even though it’s really gonna take more like 7-8 weeks. Sure there’s a pandemic but claiming 3 weeks is just not honest. Otherwise a fine company and a fine product.

This is the best item I have ever bought in my life. The mileage is just about dead on give or take a mile or two depending on how aggressive you ride it. Very good brakes, extremely good acceleration. Also this is the best company I have ever bought anything from. They were never out of contact with me, and any question that I had they were right there to answer it. My only mistake was not buying the 4wd extended battery kit. Just because of my weight. But overall this is the best ran company I have ever bought anything from. I will definitely be considering getting the other half of the kit to make mine 4wd. I really want it. Thank you!
