Actually, the brake light's Reed switch (magnetic switch) housing is still used and brake adapter kit from site (lastmilemods) includes a small magnet adapter that triggers Reed switch when squeezing brake lever. All in all a pretty clean install - you will need to fasten Reed switch to new brake lever housing using 2-sided 3M or Gorilla tape and adjust position based on throw of the brake lever.
Once installed, brake light functions exactly as before and probably better than old brake setup which I had problems with - took in for servicing at Boosted hq. to fix. - brake light would not turn off after engaging. This issue was kind of a known bug in their design and also prevented accelerating from stop which can be a problem in traffic!
As for rotors...any mountain bike rotor will work as long as it 140 mm. - I went with this (cheap but does the job): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0872R2TKR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Good luck...take your time with brake line install and bleeding process...was a little frustrating for me :)
Depending on the size of the "nail" Slime might have filled the hole after you removed it, avoiding having to replace the inner tube. I plan on filling my tires (when I get my Rev) with Slime. Here's the Amazon link for Slime:

They’re these ones on Amazon. Have them on my motorcycles and they fit perfectly here.

My buddy just started selling his fast charger on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YN939YJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PbOVDbJ8GM1H9
I tried it on my Stealth, and the battery charged in half the time than the stock 2A charger. Bought one for the REV cos’ I wasn’t gonna wait 3 hours for a charge on group rides.
I bought an Ass Savers fender from Amazon, cut it to size, and used zip ties to secure it. It took about 15 minutes to install. Ass Savers
Oh haha! I just randomly found them on Amazon, i think they're pretty generic and have different brandings and price, but here's the ones I use for my Rev:

charge with a lower current output pwr supply brick, lower current = less stress on batts. in your case your going to drain/recharge couple of times. for 54 Volts, had good results with this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753C35N8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The technique for installing them on the handlebars is identical to the one for golf clubs. See GolfPride vid below. Basically:
- apply the double-sided tape to the where the grips are going to go onthe handlebar
- apply solvent over the double-sided tape
- then apply solvent inside the new grip
- slide new grip over the tape on the handlebar
- let it dry

This is the Enegitech portable generator.
Got it for $140, but only paid $80. Always wanted to try this setup. Only negative is the weight at 8lbs. There's a Progeny brand on Amazon that's supposedly 6lbs, same specs.
I just measured the charge profile of the original charger. Then you buy this guy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GFVI6R6, you attach it to a battery of your choice of sufficient capacity, and you program it to respect the same charge profile as the original charger. When you are at destination, you plug it in and charge the on-board battery.
Am I the only one that rocks full face? I’m sure we’re all doing top speed on this pretty consistently.

Like what the other redditor said, bend it back. However, I'd like to add that you should probably heat it up (i.e. dunk in a boiling water for a few minutes) use tongs to grab it, and then place it somehwere that is heat resistant, smooth surface, and then hammer tap it until it reshapes straight again. If that's too much of a hassle, I just examined the brake disc and it seems oddly similar to my Xiaomi M365, so maybe buy a replacement part at amazon such as the link below (you can always return if it doesn't fit):

But, you still have that 12 month warranty, so maybe call boosted up and tell them your situation. Maybe they'll send a replacement part and for free!

You rode home in the rain Friday? I did too... down to Penn station, on my bike.
What did you use to keep dry?
I have one of these and and it kept me mostly dry (my shoes were a little exposed and wet).
I just got the Rev, over the weekend, so tomorrow is my first day out with it.
I used my gf's eyebrow tweezer (the flat head tweezer kind) to get it out and put it back in. Just make sure to disinfect them for your S.O. to use again, or better yet, buy your own :)

Granted, I’M STILL WAITING FOR MY REV TO ARRIVE, but I got this cheap speaker so that pedestrians will hear me coming ... might try it with this for shits and giggles
It’s funny — the voice prompts sound like a female Borat
I just received my scooter today and I put on a GUB 6 phone holder on the left hand side next to the bell. It fits perfectly! I haven’t tested it much yet but it seems pretty sturdy and doesn’t really shake too badly.
I see misinformation on here.
People do not use gas station compressors to fill bike tires not because the compressor is not powerful enough but because the compressors distribute too much air too quickly. It is easy to overfill your tires and have them burst (I have seen this happen). Plus the gauges just aren't very accurate. You can use a gas station compressor to fill bike tires if you are very careful.
I do not have a Rev, but if I did I would use a proper bicycle pump with a gauge like this one.
Op actually responded and said it’s this one but then deleted his comment (dunno why)

Kryptonite New York Noose has a "slipknot" design, which means you do not have to get as close to the object you are chaining it to. You really should chain it to something.
Failing that, I'd go for an alarm disc lock.
