16 inch Revvi bikes offer a perfect stepping stone for children transitioning from balance bikes to powered riding.

Revvi 16" bikes are electric balance bikes constructed to grow with the rider. Weighing around 11 kg, they feature a free-wheel system that allows balance training before activating the electric motor. Riders can progress through speed settings spanning approximately 8 mph (slow) to 12 mph (fast). With 24 V 250 W brushless motors, air-filled tyres, rear drum brakes, and adjustable handlebars/seat posts, these bikes are both lightweight and functional—suitable for children ages ~5+. Their modular design and removable battery enhance usability and longevity.
Completing the ride setup, consider safety gear from Skate Protection.

Why buy 16" Revvi Bikes?

Q

What age are 16 Revvi bikes for?

A

They’re designed for kids aged around 5–8, depending on height and weight. The seat height is adjustable to accommodate growing riders, and weight limits typically range up to around 40 kg.

Q

How fast do they go?

A

Most 16 Revvi bikes have two or three speed modes, usually 8 mph and 12 mph (13 km/h and 20 km/h). A parent-controlled speed selector lets you limit speed while your child is learning.

Q

How long does the battery last?

A

The removable lithium-ion battery typically lasts 40–60 minutes, depending on speed, terrain and rider weight. Additional batteries are available, allowing quick swaps to extend ride time.

Q

Are the wheels air-filled?

A

Yes. 16 inch Revvi bikes use pneumatic tyres with tread patterns for grip. Air-filled wheels improve shock absorption and traction on dirt tracks or smooth surfaces.

Q

Are they safe for beginners?

A

Yes. Low seat heights (around 46 cm) allow kids to plant their feet easily. The twist-and-go throttle is responsive but manageable, and rear disc or drum brakes provide reliable stopping power. Safety features like speed limiters and chain guards reduce risk.

Q

Can the bike be used as a balance bike?

A

Absolutely. With the battery off, the bike can be pushed like a standard balance bike. This helps kids practise balancing and steering before introducing electric power.

Q

Are spare parts available?

A

Yes. Replacement batteries, chargers, throttle grips and brake components can be purchased separately. Maintaining the chain and tyres ensures longevity.

Q

What protective gear is recommended?

A

Children should wear a helmet, gloves, long trousers and sleeves. Knee and elbow pads protect against scrapes, and full-face helmets are advisable for off-road riding.
