"The difference lies in the Roo Rev XL's longer rear end. While Retrospec doesn't give an exact size difference (or any geometry chart for that matter) on the two bikes' rear triangles, a side-by-side photo sums it up. The longer rear end on the Roo Rev XL, along with the larger rear rack, nearly doubles the carrying capacity. The smaller rear rack on the Roo Rev can handle 60lbs, while the XL can take a 119lb load."
"Both bikes have a total weight limit of 400lbs. They also use the same drive unit and battery. Retrospec has chosen a 750W planetary geared hub motor paired with a 700Wh removable battery. Both Roo Revs have the battery located behind the seattube. It is removable and can be charged on or off the bike, with an estimated charge time of 5-6 hours."
Both the Roo Rev and Roo Rev XL share a hydroformed aluminum frame, components, a 750W planetary geared hub motor, and a 700Wh removable battery. The XL uses a longer rear end and a larger rear rack to nearly double cargo capacity versus the standard Roo Rev, increasing rack capacity from 60lbs to 119lbs. Both models support a total weight limit of 400lbs and can accept child seats and accessories; the standard model fits one seat while the XL can fit two. Both bikes use an Ananda Complete E-System display with throttle (Class 2), lights, and turn signals, and batteries charge in approximately 5–6 hours with an estimated range claim up to 75 miles per charge.
