    For starters, lifespan is dramatically improved. The Revv1 EVO’s battery is rated for over 1,200 charge cycles before dropping to 80% capacity. That’s more than double what you’d expect from a typical e-bike battery, which often lasts around 500 cycles

    Let me introduce you to my friend LFP. 5k-10k cycles, easily.

    The battery can fully recharge in around two hours, thanks to its chemistry AND Ride1Up’s inclusion of a high-power 9A charger, compared to the typical 2-3A charger typically paired with most e-bikes.

    That’s nothing to do with chemistry. Typical NMC batteries can charge way faster than that.

    Many semi-solid state battery cells already pass the puncture test, in which a nail driven through the cell won’t cause a fire or explosion. Try that with a typical e-bike cell, and, well… you’d better do it in an open and safe area.

    Also not a problem with LFP.
