While boot scooters are known for providing a fairly basic ride, the Pride Revo 2.0 Mobility Scooter offers much better comfort - with Comfort-Trac suspension and large 9 inch wheels smoothing out the ride. Pride's ultra heavy-duty drivetrain features a 70 amp controller to give more power - ideal for ramps, slopes and even dropped kerbs that smaller scooters traditionally struggle with.
The Revo 2.0 can be dismantled in the same way as a regular boot scooter - into 6 different pieces, with the two batteries as separate pieces. However, the heavier weight of the scooter (the back section weighs 26 kg) means that it realistically requires two able-bodied people to lift - making it better suited for those only occasionally transporting it in a car. Alternatively, it is the ideal scooter to use with a hoist, and also features easily accessible tie-down points for safely securing in a car.
The Revo 2.0 features Pride's unique under-seat storage, which combined with the large front basket, makes the Revo 2.0 the ideal companion for shopping trips. While smaller boot scooters can fit onto buses, the Revo 2.0 is too large for the wheelchair space, so cannot be used on buses. The range from the 35 Ah batteries is a decent 15.5 miles - not as long as on most medium sized scooters, but much longer than the average boot scooter. The batteries can be charged both on and off board, giving you flexibility for your charging, and even allowing you to leave the Revo 2.0 in a car and charge the batteries indoors.
The delta tiller features ergonomic grips, and can be easily adjusted to allow comfortable use of the scooter. Lights at both front and rear keep you visible if driving at night. The Revo 2.0 has a surprisingly high weight capacity of 26.5 stone - however, our experience suggests that people above 20 stone are generally better off in a larger scooter, to get the best performance and comfort, particularly as the Revo has a relatively small seat.
A modern scooter, the Revo 2.0 comes in your choice of "grey street" or "true blue" (our preferred colour), and features stylish solid alloy-style wheels with black non-marking tyres. As USB charging port conveniently keeps your mobile topped up as you drive.
The Revo comes as standard in blue with solid tyres, which remove the risk of punctures. For a small additional charge there is the option to upgrade to more comfortable pneumatic tyres, with the Revo in either blue or grey.
Our Verdict
The Revo is comparable to TGA's Zest Plus, being a larger scooter that can still be dismantled for occasional transport. The big advantage of the Revo is that you can charge its batteries off-board if desired, which lets you store the scooter in a place without a charging port, such as a shed or car boot. The Revo is also a viable alternative to standard 4 mph mid-sized scooters such as the Invacare Leo - with improved comfort due to the suspension, although it lacks the solidity and range of the popular Leo.
Overall, the Revo is suited to heavier people or those who want a more comfortable scooter for short journeys and shopping trips, and who will occasionally be transporting it in a vehicle or using a hoist.
