The user does not have to think twice about traveling long distances making it possible for them to take up careers that require a lot of traveling. The scooter’s heavy-duty frame is designed for effortless riding through uneven and inclined terrain rides.

Other interesting features in the scooter include interlocking drop-in twin battery packs, which help in easy removal and installation. Though maintenance is required as they are electric scooters it is easy to disassemble into five lightweight and easy-to-manage parts. Similar to a bicycle, the controls of the scooters are designed to be at your fingertips. There is an easy-to-use external free-wheeler lever. Like most disability scooters, the seats of these scooters can be adjusted based on the required height. The scooters also have flip-up armrests for comfortable positioning.

Nobody knows how long a user may be riding the scooter hence comfort is an important feature that is kept in mind while designing the scooter.

Safety is paramount both for the able-bodied person and a disabled user but for the disabled safety takes on additional importance. Hence Revo has headlights and tail lights to provide maximum vision and guarantee safety to the user.
