Revvi 20 Plus vs Revvi 24
Which premium Revvi electric bike is right for your rider?
The Revvi 20 Plus and Revvi 24 are the two largest and most capable bikes in the Revvi range.
Both use a powerful 48V system, a removable 48V 15Ah battery, hydraulic brakes and adjustable suspension. The biggest difference is not simply power — it is the physical size of the bike and the rider it has been designed for.
For most younger or shorter riders, choose the Revvi 20 Plus. For taller teenagers who genuinely need a full-size 24-inch platform, choose the Revvi 24.

What Is the Main Difference?
The main difference between the Revvi 20 Plus and Revvi 24 is the physical size of the bike.
The Revvi 20 Plus uses a compact 20-inch wheel platform. It offers serious power and premium components while remaining relatively manageable for confident older children and younger teenagers.
The Revvi 24 uses much larger 24-inch wheels, a taller chassis and a considerably bigger riding position. It is intended for taller teenagers who have physically outgrown bikes such as the Revvi 18, Revvi 20 or Revvi 20 Plus.
Important: The Revvi 24 is not simply a slightly faster Revvi 20 Plus.
It is a substantially larger bike. Rider height, inside leg measurement, experience and confidence should therefore matter more than the small difference in top speed.
Power and Speed
There is less difference in motor performance than many customers initially expect.
Both bikes use a 48V 1000W brushless hub motor producing up to 1500W peak power and approximately 132Nm of torque. Both therefore offer strong acceleration and considerably more performance than smaller electric balance bikes.
The Revvi 20 Plus has three speed settings of approximately:
- 13.6mph
- 20mph
- 27mph
The Revvi 24 has a top speed of up to approximately 30mph.
In real use, the Revvi 24 does not justify its higher price because it is dramatically more powerful. You choose it because its larger chassis, bigger wheels, stronger braking system and premium suspension are better suited to a taller and heavier rider.
Which Bike Is Easier to Handle?
The Revvi 20 Plus is the easier and more manageable bike for most younger riders.
Its 20-inch wheels and smaller frame make it easier to control at lower speeds, move around when stationary and recover if the rider becomes unbalanced. At approximately 28kg, it still feels like a proper off-road electric bike without immediately moving into a much larger youth platform.
The Revvi 24 feels more planted over rough ground and rolls over larger bumps more easily, but its increased physical size demands more confidence from the rider.
A rider who is only just big enough for the Revvi 24 may feel more comfortable and confident on the Revvi 20 Plus. Choosing the largest bike possible is not always the best option.
Rider Height and Size
The Revvi 20 Plus is generally best suited to riders approximately 145–170cm tall, although suitability will vary depending on inside leg measurement and riding ability.
The Revvi 24 has an adjustable seat height of approximately 78–101cm and is designed for taller youth riders and teenagers. Its 24-inch wheels create a noticeably larger riding position than the 20 Plus.
Choose the Revvi 20 Plus If:
- Your rider is approximately 145–170cm tall
- They want maximum performance from a 20-inch bike
- They have outgrown a Revvi 16 Plus, Revvi 18 or standard Revvi 20
- They are confident but not physically ready for a 24-inch bike
- You want the more manageable option
Choose the Revvi 24 If:
- Your rider has physically outgrown a 20-inch bike
- They are a taller teenager or experienced youth rider
- They need a taller and longer riding position
- They regularly ride rough tracks, fields or private land
- You want the biggest Revvi currently available

Suspension Difference
Both bikes have proper adjustable suspension, but the components and overall setup are different.
Revvi 20 Plus Suspension
The Revvi 20 Plus uses EXHO air front forks with adjustable compression and rebound damping. At the rear, it uses a Fastace spring shock with adjustable compression and rebound.
This gives the 20 Plus a far more capable off-road setup than a standard electric balance bike and makes it suitable for tracks, fields and uneven private land.
Revvi 24 Suspension
The Revvi 24 steps up to RST suspension at both ends. The front fork includes compression and rebound adjustment, while the rear uses an RST oil-air mixed shock with rebound adjustment.
Combined with 24-inch wheels and approximately 315mm of ground clearance, the Revvi 24 is better equipped for taller riders tackling rougher terrain.
Suspension winner: Revvi 24. However, the Revvi 20 Plus still has more than enough suspension capability for most riders who fit its chassis correctly.
Brake Difference
The Revvi 20 Plus has hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear, providing smooth and predictable braking with less lever effort than mechanical brakes.
The Revvi 24 upgrades to front and rear 4-piston hydraulic brakes. These offer additional braking force for a larger bike carrying a taller and potentially heavier rider at speeds of up to 30mph.
Brake winner: Revvi 24.
Battery and Riding Time
Both models use a removable 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery.
Revvi quotes approximately the following constant-use riding times for the Revvi 20 Plus:
- Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes on the lowest speed setting
- Approximately 50 minutes on the medium setting
- Approximately 30 minutes on the fastest setting
The Revvi 24 has a quoted maximum range of approximately 35km or 21–22 miles per charge.
These figures are measured differently and should not be treated as a direct comparison. Actual riding time on either bike will vary depending on rider weight, terrain, temperature, tyre pressure and how frequently full power is used.
The Revvi 20 Plus takes approximately three hours to recharge, while the Revvi 24 is quoted at approximately five to six hours.
Is the Revvi 24 Worth the Extra £200?
The Revvi 24 costs approximately £200 more than the Revvi 20 Plus.
For the additional money, you receive:
- A significantly larger 24-inch chassis
- Larger wheels with improved rollover ability
- Premium RST suspension
- Front and rear 4-piston hydraulic brakes
- A reinforced frame, swingarm, rims and spokes
- A TFT colour display
- Up to approximately 30mph top speed
The Revvi 24 therefore represents strong value for a rider who genuinely needs the additional size.
However, paying the extra money does not automatically make it the better bike. If the rider is more comfortable on a 20-inch platform, the Revvi 20 Plus will usually provide better control, confidence and enjoyment.
Which Is Better for a Beginner?
Neither model is intended as a first electric bike for a very young or nervous beginner.
Both offer up to 1500W peak power and require sensible adult supervision, suitable safety equipment and an appropriate private off-road riding area.
Between the two, the Revvi 20 Plus is the more approachable option because of its smaller chassis and clearly defined three-speed settings.
Less experienced or smaller riders may be better suited to the standard Revvi 20, Revvi 18 or Revvi 16 XL.
Which One Should You Buy?
Our Verdict
For most confident older children and younger teenagers, we would choose the Revvi 20 Plus.
It offers virtually the same headline motor performance and battery capacity as the Revvi 24 in a smaller, lighter and more manageable 20-inch package.
For taller teenagers who have genuinely outgrown a 20-inch bike, choose the Revvi 24.
Its larger chassis, 24-inch wheels, RST suspension and 4-piston brakes make it the better long-term platform for a physically bigger and more experienced rider.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Revvi 24 much faster than the Revvi 20 Plus?
No. The Revvi 20 Plus reaches up to approximately 27mph, while the Revvi 24 reaches up to approximately 30mph. The more important difference is the physical size of the bike.
Do the Revvi 20 Plus and Revvi 24 use the same battery?
Both bikes use a removable 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery system. Always check model compatibility before ordering a replacement battery or electrical component.
Which is better for a 12-year-old?
This depends more on height, inside leg measurement and experience than age alone. Many 12-year-olds will find the Revvi 20 Plus easier to manage, while a particularly tall and experienced rider may be ready for the Revvi 24.
Can an adult ride the Revvi 24?
The Revvi 24 has a maximum rider weight of 75kg and may physically accommodate some smaller adults. However, it is primarily designed as a youth electric bike for older children and teenagers.
Is the Revvi 20 Plus powerful enough for a teenager?
Yes. With a 48V 1000W motor, 1500W peak power and a top speed of up to 27mph, the Revvi 20 Plus offers serious performance. The deciding factor should be whether the rider fits comfortably on its 20-inch chassis.
