Go Anywhere, Ride Everything on the Retrospec Valen Rev+

A Rugged, Fat-tyre ebike That’s Always Up for Adventure

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Looking for an ebike that’s less about city streets and more about blazing your own trail? The Retrospec Valen Rev+ is built to go where others stop. With 4” fat tires, a 750W motor, and a long-range 720Wh battery, this bike doesn’t shy away from tough terrain. It’s designed for adventure, and it shows.

The Valen Rev+ is definitely heavier than your average commuter ebike, but if you’re after all-terrain capability, this fat tire ebike is a beast.

Who’s It For?

• Riders who want to explore off-road as well as on
• Bigger builds or heavier riders (350 lb limit)
• Those looking for a fun, powerful ebike with serious range

The Valen Rev+ is for bold riders who want to go beyond the pavement. It’s a great fit for weekend adventurers, outdoor commuters, or anyone who wants an ebike that can handle everything from muddy tracks to sandy trails.

At this price, you're getting a solid mix of power, performance, and off-road chops. It’s not the most compact or commuter-friendly option, but if you're craving versatility and don’t mind the extra weight, the Valen Rev+ is ready to roll.

Pros

• Powerful 750W motor – Handles inclines and terrain changes like a champ.
• Big 720Wh battery – Delivers up to 68 miles of range on one charge.
• Fat 4” tires + suspension – Smooths out rocky paths, potholes, and everything in between.
• Hydraulic disc brakes – Excellent stopping power, even in wet conditions.
• UL certified – Meets UL2271 & UL2849 safety standards.

Cons

• Heavy – At 72 lbs, it’s not something you’ll want to carry upstairs.
• Bulky frame – Doesn’t fold, so it takes up more space in storage or transit.
• Overkill for city-only riders – The power and size are more than most commuters need.

Expert Verdict

Components and Build Quality

This bike is built like a tank, but in a good way. The hydroformed aluminium frame is strong and well-finished, and the moto-style saddle is both eye-catching and genuinely comfy. The BMX-style handlebars and sturdy platform pedals add to its rugged personality.

Safety and Security

Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with ebike-specific rotors give you serious stopping power. Add the integrated lights (including a bright 100 Lux headlight), and you’ve got excellent visibility and control – even in low light or on tricky surfaces.

Performance and Handling

The 750W motor and 6 levels of pedal assist make steep hills and rough trails feel easy. The fat tires and suspension fork soak up bumps, and the Shimano 8-speed drivetrain lets you tackle all kinds of gradients.

Comfort and Practicality

It’s surprisingly comfy for a rugged ebike. That long saddle gives you room to move, and the grips are great on long rides. It’s not light, and it doesn’t fold, but if you’ve got space to store it, you’re good to go.

Specs

The Retrospec Valen Rev+ is a fat-tire powerhouse made for off-road adventures and long-distance exploring. It’s comfortable, rugged, and a blast to ride, especially if you’re the type to skip the pavement and see where the trail leads.
