Motor And Power Difference
The Revvi 20 uses a 36V 800W brushless hub motor, which is already plenty for many older children moving up from smaller electric bikes.
The Revvi 20 Plus is a clear step up. It uses a 48V 1000W brushless hub motor with 1500W peak power and 132N·m torque. That extra voltage and torque gives the Plus stronger acceleration and a more serious off-road feel.
If your rider is still learning, the standard Revvi 20 may be more than enough. If they are already confident, the Revvi 20 Plus gives them more room to progress.
Battery And Range Difference
The Revvi 20 uses a 36V 7.5Ah removable battery, while the Revvi 20 Plus uses a much larger 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery.
That means the Revvi 20 Plus does not just offer more power — it also has a much larger battery capacity to support the stronger motor and higher performance.
| Model | Battery | Quoted Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Revvi 20 | 36V 7.5Ah removable battery | Slow: approx. 1h 30mins Medium: approx. 1h Fast: approx. 35mins |
| Revvi 20 Plus | 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery | Slow: approx. 1h 20mins Medium: approx. 50mins Fast: approx. 30mins |
Battery range always varies depending on speed setting, rider weight, terrain and riding conditions.
Speed Difference
Both bikes use three speed settings, which is helpful for rider progression.
The standard Revvi 20 offers 10 / 16 / 22mph, while the Revvi 20 Plus increases this to 13.6 / 20 / 27mph.
That makes the Revvi 20 Plus noticeably faster and better suited to experienced riders on suitable private land.
Suspension Difference
This is one of the biggest upgrades on the Revvi 20 Plus.
The standard Revvi 20 uses suspension forks with 100mm travel and an air rear shock. This is suitable for general off-road use and gives the bike a comfortable, capable feel.
The Revvi 20 Plus steps up to EXHO air front forks with compression and rebound adjustment, plus a Fastace rear spring shock with compression and rebound adjustment. This gives more control, better damping and a more premium feel over rough ground.
Weight And Rider Size
The Revvi 20 is lighter at around 23kg, making it easier to manage for smaller or less experienced riders.
The Revvi 20 Plus is heavier at around 28kg, but it also has a stronger frame package, larger battery, more powerful motor and higher maximum rider weight.
- Revvi 20: 23kg net weight, 65kg max load
- Revvi 20 Plus: 28kg net weight, 75kg max load
Which One Is Better Value?
For many families, the standard Revvi 20 will be the better value choice. It is lighter, more affordable and still offers plenty of performance for riders stepping into the 20 inch category.
However, the Revvi 20 Plus makes sense if your rider is already confident and you want a bike that feels more serious. The bigger battery, stronger 48V motor, better suspension and higher max load all help justify the upgrade.
Our Verdict
Best value: Revvi 20
Best performance: Revvi 20 Plus
Best for experienced riders: Revvi 20 Plus
Where Does The Revvi 24 Fit In?
If your rider is tall, older or ready for an even larger platform, the Revvi 24 may also be worth considering.
The Revvi 24 is the biggest model in the Revvi range and is better suited to taller teenagers who need more room and a larger wheel size. For riders who still suit a 20 inch bike, the Revvi 20 Plus is usually the more natural choice.
