Revi Bikes (formerly Civi) Cheetah Electric Bike
This is a great cruiser bike, so you probably wouldn't be taking it off road. It has hydraulic brakes and plenty of stopping power. It doesn't have a suspension front fork, and has a hard-tail, but has a saddle spring shock absorber which makes the bike comfortable. And the fat tires provide a lot of cushion.
It is reported to be a lot of fun, and has plenty of power for hills. It has the old motorcycle-style looks. The battery is located inside the fuel tank structure. The headlight is massive, with high and low beam, great for night travel. It has a nice color display, and shows the actual battery voltage.
The grill option for the headlight looks beautiful, and it prevents stones on the road from breaking the light.

The following points have been compiled from various reviews. When you read a bike’s reviews, patterns can be seen.
Strengths
• Bike arrived well-packaged and nicely secured. Everything needed for assembly was included - even wrenches. Solid quality construction and great looking bike.
• This bike is a head turner. I added the fenders and rack and I’m waiting on the bags. Very sturdy and well built. Everything works as advertised.
• Very easy assembly, really fun to ride. Looks cooler in person. A bit larger than expected but great! And it's pretty fast.
• This bike is absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm 6'0", 255 lbs. This bike fits me perfectly. The style and engineering of this bike is superior to the rest. The ride is so much fun. I feel like a kid again. The 'pedal assist' is very responsive and makes riding this bike a dream. The head light is really bright, and lights up the roadway like a motorcycle. I have ridden this bike up hills and down. It rides up hills with ease and the downhill ride is a thrill. The 'street radar' clocked me at 41 mph. WOW. The bike is heavy and stable. You don't feel the weight when you are pedaling because the Bafang motor is so responsive.
• When I started to ride it I realized immediately this was a Home Run of a bike. Smooth, powerful and a big head turner. I've added the fender/rack packages.
• Right out of the box it only took 30 minutes to put together come all the tools were there instructions were easy to read.
• I am a big person and this bike fits me very well and is super solid. Boy does it move!
• The ride is smooth and it goes faster than I need to go. The build was quick with only some minor adjustments needed. The fenders add to the look, at quick glance it looks like a motorcycle.
• It's fast, reliable, and has phenomenal range. The bike has since replaced my car for my everyday commute.
• The cheetah arrived very well packed in perfect condition. It looks exactly as the images on the site. I am not mechanically minded but I was able to put it together with little fuss, the tools were included so I had everything I needed out of the box. It is really well made they did NOT cut any corners in the design and construction.
Weaknesses
• Instructions were lacking and there were a few steps that really needed more description for proper assembly; i.e. pulling plastic tab out from front disc breaks and discarding front forks shipping bolt. When I put the front wheel on and tightened, the break disc rubbed against the metal break component enough to hear and slow the wheel down. After some minor tweaking I was able to make it better, but still not perfect.
• My only gripe are the instructions are very vague. Other than that I’m in awe of the bike.
