Powered by a mid-motor and a chain drive system, the RV1 offers two battery options: a 2.2kWh unit with a stated range of 100 km, and a 3.24kWh unit with a claimed range of 160 km. The 2.68bhp electric motor in both battery variants powers the rear wheel through a chain drive, unlike the belt drive found on the RV400.

The battery options are said to be IP67-rated for water resistance.
