My verdict

Buy the REVR CM7 if your commute mixes pavement with dirt or gravel and you want a soft ride. It has a front fork and a rear shock (2:18 to 2:47), Zoom hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels (0:56 to 1:10, 2:08 to 2:12), and knobby fat tires that held traction on dirt slopes in my testing (3:50 to 4:09). I said it suits a medium to long commute with some gravel on the way (4:47 to 5:03). Skip it if you want a light bike or a torque sensor. It's a heavier e-bike because of the fat tires and rims (4:28 to 4:37), and it uses a cadence sensor with a crankset that didn't feel as smooth as some others (2:55 to 3:07). REVR lists 70.84 lb. The deciding factor: comfort and brakes versus weight. If you carry it up stairs, look elsewhere.

Source note: times in parentheses are from my review video. Everything marked (REVR) is from REVR’s CM7s product page as of Oct 23, 2026. The bike I filmed was the CM7; REVR now sells the CM7s.

What I didn’t test

I didn’t run a range test, a top-speed test, or a braking test, and I didn’t weigh the bike. The 80 mile range, 70.84 lb weight and 450 lb load are REVR’s numbers. I didn’t try the optional second battery (3:28 to 3:32).

FAQ

Does it have full suspension?

Yes. There’s a front fork and a rear shock (2:18 to 2:39). On dirt and gravel it felt like floating (2:39 to 2:47).

Can I add a second battery?

REVR offered one that slides into the rear rack. My demo bike didn’t have it (3:21 to 3:32).

Is the CM7 the same as the CM7s?

REVR now sells the CM7s. Its listing matches what I saw on my bike: 500W, Zoom hydraulic brakes, fork and rear suspension, and 20 x 4 Kenda tires. Check the listing for any changes.

How far does it go?

REVR rates the 864Wh battery at up to 80 miles. I didn’t measure range.

Price

REVR’s CM7s listing showed $1,399 in search results on Oct 23, 2026; I couldn’t confirm that price on the live page. Code ALLELECTRIC for $50 off is from my video; may have expired.
