Kymco's concept electric sportbike, told straight: the one genuinely unusual idea (a six-speed gearbox), the headline performance claims from the reveal, and the numbers that decide everything yet have never been published. We do not fill blanks with guesses. Sources on everything.
An intriguing concept, not a buyable bike. The RevoNEX's party trick is a six-speed gearbox on an electric sportbike, which almost nobody else does. Kymco quotes a ~127 mph top speed and a 0 to 100 km/h in ~3.9 s, but has never published battery capacity, motor power, or range. It is a concept first shown in 2019, with production long-promised. Treat everything beyond the verified claims as unconfirmed.
Every module behind the headlines: what it is, the gearbox, the claims, the conspicuously missing numbers, the concept caution, and a verdict. All sourced, with blanks left honestly blank.
The RevoNEX is Kymco's concept electric sportbike, first shown at EICMA 2019, with one defining feature: a six-speed transmission, an oddity in a segment that has almost universally settled on a single fixed gear. Kymco quotes a top speed around 127 mph and 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 3.9 seconds. What it has never published is battery capacity, motor power, or range, the numbers that decide everything for an electric sportbike. It remains a concept, with production long-promised (most recently planned in Italy) but not yet shipping. We tell you what is verified and leave the rest honestly blank.
Start here, because this is a concept, and that changes how you should read every number.
The single most important fact about the RevoNEX is its status. Everything else follows from it.
The RevoNEX is Kymco's concept electric sportbike, first unveiled at EICMA 2019 in Milan and shown again since. Its defining feature is a six-speed gearbox, unusual in a segment that has almost universally gone direct-drive. Kymco has stated it intends to put the bike into production, with manufacturing planned in Italy to help it stay competitively priced for Europe, but it remains a concept, and the details that matter most are still missing.
Because it is not buyable yet, this is about interest, not a purchase decision. Here is who should care, and who should wait.
If a mechanical gearbox on an electric sportbike fascinates you, the RevoNEX is one of the more interesting concepts out there, purely for daring to do it. Worth following.
There is nothing to buy. No price, no on-sale bike, no published battery or power. If you want a sportbike today, this is not it.
If you decide on battery, power, and range, you cannot evaluate the RevoNEX at all, because Kymco has published none of them. There is nothing here to compare.
The one genuinely unusual idea, and whether it is a feature or a solution looking for a problem.
This is the RevoNEX's reason to exist, so it is worth understanding what it does and what it costs.
A mechanical six-speed gearbox on an electric motorcycle is genuinely unusual. Most EVs do not use one, because electric motors already deliver strong torque across a wide rev range, so a single fixed ratio usually does the job. Kymco has shown a taste for gearboxes on its electric two-wheelers when rivals go direct-drive. From the reveal, the bike also lists launch control, traction control, ABS, and an artificial motor-sound system, with second gear reportedly extending up to around 115 km/h.
A mechanical gearbox where the industry says you do not need one. It promises a more engaging, motorcycle-like shifting experience, the thing that makes the RevoNEX stand out.

≈ Now standardA synthesized sound system to add character an electric drivetrain otherwise lacks. A taste-dependent flourish, not a performance feature.
⚠ Marketing flourishWhat is verified, and the numbers that decide everything yet are simply not there.
The verified claims are the performance figures from the concept reveal. Treat them as manufacturer claims, not independent tests.
Kymco has quoted a top speed around 127 mph (~205 km/h) and acceleration of roughly 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a 100 to 200 km/h figure also cited at the reveal. Second gear reportedly reaches about 115 km/h. These are the headline performance claims, and they are all we can responsibly state.
For an electric sportbike, battery, power, and range decide everything. Their absence is the most telling fact in this whole report.
Our standard method runs on a battery's voltage and amp-hours, the motor's continuous and peak watts, and a real-world consumption figure. For the RevoNEX, Kymco has published none of those inputs. We cannot derive range, we cannot convert power to horsepower, and we cannot estimate charge time, because there is nothing verified to start from. Rather than invent plausible-sounding numbers, we leave them blank.
| Input our method needs | What Kymco has published | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity (kWh / V × Ah) | Nothing | not published |
| Motor power (continuous / peak W) | Nothing | not published |
| Range | Nothing | not published |
| Charge time / charger watts | Nothing | not published |
| Weight | Nothing confirmed | not published |
| Top speed | ~127 mph (claim) | manufacturer claim |
| 0 to 100 km/h | ~3.9 s (claim) | manufacturer claim |
A concept promised for production over several years deserves a skeptical read on dates. Here is the honest framing.
The RevoNEX has been shown and re-shown since 2019, and production has been promised more than once, most recently with manufacturing planned in Italy. Reporting on a firm production date has been inconsistent, and concept timelines in this industry routinely slip. Until Kymco ships actual bikes, treat any on-sale date as provisional, and remember the bike is not street-legal in its current concept form.
One scorecard, identical axes on every bike, with unknowns scored honestly as unknowns.
Every e-moto on the site is scored on these same eight axes. For a concept with no published core specs, most axes cannot be scored, and we mark them as such rather than invent a number. The bars below show only what can be assessed.
Our standing methodology, run identically on every e-moto. On the RevoNEX it shows exactly which inputs are missing.
Cannot be run: Kymco has not published the RevoNEX's voltage, amp-hours, or kWh.
Cannot be run without a nominal capacity to start from.
Cannot be run: no battery figure and no published range. We refuse to invent one.
Cannot be run: no motor wattage has been published, only acceleration and top-speed claims.
Cannot be run: neither battery size nor charger wattage is published.
We cite everything and date it. Manufacturer figures are labeled as claims, and where a number is not published, we say so rather than guess. Spot an error? Our corrections policy means we fix it in public.
Sources retrieved May 2026. The RevoNEX is a concept; all performance figures are manufacturer claims from its reveal, not independent tests. Battery, motor power, range, weight, charge time, and price have not been published, and we leave them blank rather than estimate. We will update this page if Kymco releases verified specs or a confirmed production bike.
