FAQ'S

minus plus
Can I test ride a bike? minus plus

We are a direct-to-consumer electric cruiser bike company both in pricing and strategy. You will generally pay a premium for the ability to test ride an electric bike through a dealer. However, our electric bikes have been thoroughly tested by top reviewers such as Electric Bike Review, Electric Bike Report, Cycling Weekly, Clean Technica, Electrek, and many others who have published their reviews on YouTube. You can read electric bike reviews on any of those sites. Additionally, we are now supporting an independent network of e-bike owners offering their bikes for demos. Learn more about e-bike demos here Locations

What can I expect ordering a bike from Ride1Up? minus plus

This article will explain all about what to expect when ordering an electric bike from us. Ordering With Us

Can I upgrade the cruiser's battery? minus plus

Unfortunately, the 15ah battery pack is the largest available that will fit this cruiser electric bike frame. The e-bike battery provides a range of 30-50 miles on a single charge.

Can I switch the electric bike handlebars to another model? minus plus

No, you cannot switch the handlebars on our cruisers. The variations you see on the site are the only options we have for our electric bikes.

Can you ship to _______? minus plus

We only ship within the US and Canada. The contiguous United States is FREE. Shipping to Canada is $400. Currently, not shipping to Hawaii. We are not responsible for any additional tariffs charged by your local government which often times applied after importing ebikes. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship our electric bikes directly to Europe or Alaska at this time. You can use a shipping forwarder like ShopUsa.com to reach your country.

Are the cruiser electric bikes water-proof? minus plus

The electric bikes are not water-proof, they are water-resistant, rated IP-65. While we do not recommend leaving the ebikes out in the rain or riding in the rain or other hazardous conditions due to personal safety, the electric bikes can handle water exposure. Leaving your e-bike in the rain or other hazardous conditions could shorten the lifespan of the electric bike.

My wife and I settled on the Cafe Cruisers after a fair bit of on-line research. We live fairly close to Ride1up’s San Diego office so we were able to test ride them. Both bikes arrived exactly when they said they would and were in excellent shape. I felt one of the bikes needed to have the rear brake bled and Ride1up replied to my email immediately and we agreed that getting a bleed kit would be best so they reimbursed be. The other bike had a broken strap holding the display in place. They had that FedEx’d that day! Assembly was easy and took about a half hour for each bike. The on-line video instructions were very helpful. Setting up the bikes was easy and only required adjusting seat height and handlebar placement. The brakes are adjustable for reach but the instructions didn’t mention it. This is a very nice feature as my wife and I have very different size hands. The bike is VERY comfortable to ride! The front suspension and oversized tires make it very smooth. The motor is quite powerful but easy to control. The bike assists a lot when going up hills allowing us to tackle some inclines that we avoided on regular bikes. Both bikes shifted gears perfectly right out of the box. I’m not sure about the maximum range as we have only been riding around the neighborhood a few miles at a time. The battery level indicators haven’t moved at all yet. I also haven’t had to charge them yet as they arrived with a 75% charge. We are very happy with our bikes and look forward to taking them camping with us. In terms of negatives there are very few. The accessories are pricey, especially the rear racks. And the choice of colors leaves a lot to be desired; Black, blue that is so dark it may as well be black, and beige. Wife is 5’8”, 140#. I am 6’2”, 210#. Both bikes are step through frames.

It was packaged very well! Delivered quicker than I had imagined! Certainly heavier than I had anticipated and much better looking as well! Assembly was quick and painless! The tools being included was awesome! It’s faster than I thought with easy to understand and set up control screen! I personally am as excited as I was when I got my first bike as a child! Especially peddling uphill lol!

I have two comments since I bought two bikes. This one and a step through. The ST has a different badge and the tail light works as a brake light. I like the other badge but I wish my tailight worked as a brake light.

Exceeds expectations. This entry-level ebike is aging well after 250 mi on it in only a couple of weeks. Rear seat pad is a great add-on to ride kids with it. Light could be a bit more powerful works well.

    I purchased two bikes one had a couple of issues but they were taken care of very quickly. The bikes are a very good value, they are a bit heavy but ride very smoothly. I would recommend these bike to friends and other people in our park.
