At Ride1Up, we believe in blending high-performance tech with top-tier craftsmanship to create ebikes that deliver unmatched performance at an accessible price point. Every aspect of the Roadster V3 has been thoughtfully engineered, from precision components to premium features, designed to offer the ultimate riding experience. Read on and discover the standout elements that make this bike truly extraordinary. Let’s ride.
Intui-Drive Power System
Intui-Drive Torque Sensor: Different from any other torque sensor on the market
The Roadster V3 is equipped with a state-of-the-art contactless torque sensor, representing the best technology available at an unbelievably low price. From the engineers that brought you Bosch ebike systems, this sensor provides seamless power delivery and an intuitive riding experience, responding instantly to your pedaling force for an incredibly smooth and efficient ride. It is a phenomenal experience that one can only understand when you actually ride. You will notice the difference immediately. Unlike traditional cadence sensors, this advanced torque sensor ensures that every pedal stroke translates into immediate and measured acceleration, delivering both a natural ride feel and superior energy efficiency.
Mivice Angled-Gear Hub Motor: Quiet and Commanding
The Roadster V3 is powered by a 500-watt, 50 Nm torque angled-gear hub motor that dishes out smooth power transfer, whisper-quiet operation, and long-lasting performance. Seamless integration with the Intui-Drive system and countless hours of pre-production testing command confidence on the road at class 3 speeds. The angled gear design reduces maintenance and road noise while delivering efficient, consistent power, whether you’re climbing hills or cruising on flat terrain. This powerful configuration offers a perfect blend of torque and speed, providing a dynamic yet controlled ride experience that feels robust and refined.
Drivetrain Options
Dayco Power Carbon Belt Drive: A Grand Entrance into the Ebike Market
We partnered with Dayco, a global leader in power transmission technology, to introduce their innovative belt drive to the ebike space. The Roadster V3 features the Dayco Power Carbon belt drive option, marking Dayco’s grand debut in the world of electric bikes. This premium belt drive offers unparalleled durability, requiring no lubrication and minimal maintenance while providing a whisper-quiet, smooth ride. With this game-changing belt drive, the Roadster V3 is setting a new standard for luxury performance in the ebike industry.
Shimano Deore 10-Speed Drivetrain: Luxury Redefined
While many ebikes in this category settle for less, the Roadster V3 is equipped with a Shimano Deore 10-speed drivetrain, a feature that catapults it into the luxury cycling space. Unlike competitors in the same price range like the Aventon Soltera, which uses a low-cost, low-performing Tourney derailleur, the Deore drivetrain offers precision shifting, superior durability, and enhanced performance. We are redefining the cost of luxury by equipping a drivetrain that delivers the same experience as high-end gravel and mountain bikes—now on your daily driver.
Electrical Systems
All-new Velofox Display: A Game-Changer in Rider Interaction
We invested significant time and resources into sourcing the all-new Velofox display, a feature so essential to the Roadster V3 that we delayed its launch to ensure its perfect integration. This latest innovation from Velofox offers a sleek, user-friendly interface with previously unseen throttle integration and intuitive button functionality. Its low-profile design enhances your ride through superior ergonomics and provides real-time data in vivid color on speed, battery life, and performance metrics, all with just a glance. In addition, it allows riders to switch between classes directly on this display. This display isn’t just an accessory; it’s an extension of the bike’s cutting-edge design and functionality.
Samsung GB50 Cell Battery: Powerhouse Performance with Maximum Efficiency
The beating heart of the Roadster V3 is its powerful Samsung GB50 battery, featuring 10Ah of high-capacity 21700 cells with double gas vents for enhanced fire protection and safety. These cells are renowned for offering the most energy capacity per gram, translating into longer rides with less weight. The sophisticated design of this battery ensures efficient energy management and safety, while also providing ample power for extended adventures. With the Samsung GB50 cell system, you’re equipped with the very best in energy storage technology.
High-Visibility Lighting: Practicality and Aesthetics Combined
The Roadster V3 features a thoughtfully integrated lighting system that enhances both safety and utility. A low-profile design at the front, a Buchel 120 Lux headlamp is tucked onto the headtube so seamlessly that many don’t know it’s there. With the choice to go with Buchel, a renowned German brand known for its quality and performance, the Roadster V3 design ensures maximum visibility and safety on the road. This high-lux light illuminates the road in front of you, unlike any other ebikes at this price point.
At the rear, an elegantly designed rear fender brake light adds both practicality and style. Positioned for maximum visibility to cyclists and motorists alike, this design is critical for safe night riding. Its sleek design integrates elegantly with the rear fender so you can accessorize your ebike seamlessly without obstruction like other competitors’ gimmicky seat stay or rear rack lighting, ensuring you have reliable lighting without sacrificing aesthetics or utility.
Physical Build
Top-Tier Tires: Schwalbe G-One RS – Performance Redefined
The Roadster V3 comes equipped with the Schwalbe G-One RS tires, a premium choice for riders seeking top-notch performance and reliability. With Super Race carcass construction, they are lightweight yet durable. An optimized tread pattern ensures low rolling resistance and excellent cornering control, making them ideal for performance riders who demand speed, agility, and confidence on every ride. You will not find higher-cost tires on an ebike matching the price of the Roadster V3. Learn from Cycling Weekly why the Schwalbe G-One RS tires are an impressive choice for the Roadster V3 design.
Premium Fenders: Designed for Durability and Elegance
Our fenders are not just standard metal alloy with your run-of-the-mill wire arms – they are crafted with flattened alloy arms and sturdy connectors for an ultimately sleek build that eliminates rattling and frequent adjustment. These fenders are designed to keep you dry and stylish in all weather conditions, adding sophistication to the Roadster V3 that enhances both form and function. With the Roadster V3 in all aspects, you get durability that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics.
