How to Choose the Right Revvi Bike
Age is a useful starting point, but the best Revvi bike is not always decided by age alone. Height, confidence, strength and previous riding experience are just as important.
Height
A taller rider may suit the next size up earlier than the age guide suggests.
Confidence
A nervous rider is usually better on a smaller, easier bike first.
Experience
Riders with balance bike, BMX or MX experience may progress faster.
Progression
The best bike should suit them now and still leave room to improve.
If your child is between sizes, sizing up can work well for longer use — as long as they can safely control the bigger bike. If they are already comfortable on a Revvi 20 and need more room, the Revvi 24 is the natural next step.
Most Customers Choose a Bundle
When buying a Revvi bike, many customers choose a bundle so the rider has the right setup from day one. This can be especially useful if you want extra ride time, helmet options or riding gear at the same time.
Best Value Setup
Revvi bundles are designed to make the buying process easier, with options for riding gear, spare batteries and complete ride packages depending on the model.
- Bike-only options available
- Helmet and riding gear bundles
- Extended ride time battery options
- Better value than adding everything separately later
My Take as a British Motocross Rider
Age is a useful starting point, but confidence and control matter just as much.
The right Revvi bike should help the rider build skill, not overwhelm them. A bike that is too big or too powerful can slow their progress down.
If your child is between sizes, only size up if they can safely control the bigger bike. For taller teenagers or riders who have outgrown the Revvi 20, the Revvi 24 gives them a bigger platform without stepping straight into a full adult electric dirt bike.
Our Verdict
For first-time riders: Revvi 12
For younger riders stepping up: Revvi 16 or Revvi 16 Plus
For confident riders aged 6–9: Revvi 16 XL or Revvi 18
For most older progressing riders: Revvi 18
For older, taller or more confident riders: Revvi 20
For the biggest and most capable Revvi currently available: Revvi 24
FAQs
Which Revvi bike should I buy?
The best Revvi bike depends on your child’s age, height, confidence and riding experience. Revvi 12 is the best starting point for young first-time riders, while Revvi 18, Revvi 20 and Revvi 24 suit older and more experienced riders.
What age is the Revvi 12 for?
The Revvi 12 is generally best for younger riders aged around 2–4 who are learning balance, throttle control and confidence.
Should I choose the Revvi 16 or Revvi 16 Plus?
Choose the Revvi 16 for a simpler starter 16” bike. Choose the Revvi 16 Plus if the rider is more confident and ready for a more capable progression bike.
Should I choose the Revvi 16 XL or Revvi 18?

Should I choose the Revvi 18 or Revvi 20?

Should I choose the Revvi 20 or Revvi 24?
