700 Series

Emma Russell

Exactly what I needed! I have not filled my car with gas once since my bike arrived. I would call that a car to ebike success story.

Mark C.

Absolutely love my 700 series EBike! It’s great for casual rides, but has a long enough range to do long rides or daily commuting. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a commuter or cruiser bike!

I’ve been waiting to give this review because I wanted to give the bike a good long test. I’ve been riding it for a year now and it has around 5600 miles on it so it’s about time. I use this bike for my daily commute which is a 20 mile round trip, Sometimes I’ll add a few miles by choosing a longer route when I have time and the weather is nice. I also like to go on rides on the weekends or days off just to get outside and get some exercise. As you the reader may have guessed, I love this bike! Before deciding on the 700, I did as much research online as I could. I wanted a reliable commuter that I could take out for some casual road rides on the weekends and this bike does not disappoint. I have configured the cockpit to give me a more aggressive position but it is still comfortable. As I like to tinker a bit with my bikes, I have changed the pedals, the handle bars, the grips and I installed a 48T chainring. None of which is really necessary but as I said I like to tinker. I have had a few issues with the bike however, the main one being at around the ten month mark the pas would intermittently stop working but as the bike was still under warranty and with the help of Apollo at the service center and Zac and Rudy at the Shop in San Diego the problem was fixed quickly and I didn’t miss a single day of my commute. I also went through a phase of getting a crazy amount of flats but I installed some Mr. Tuffy tire liners and switched to slime inner tubes and I haven’t had a flat since. For me this was a great pick that checked all the boxes I was looking for and I would recommend this bike for anyone interested in an out of the box commuter with great flexibility for customizing to your personal riding style. A little about me, I am 59 years old and am in much better shape now than I was a year ago. I was a skinny tire rider in my youth and this bike has allowed me to get back out there without worrying if I can make it over the next big climb or last 5 miles to home. This bike really can make cycling available to anyone which I think is a very good thing.

Some of my comments here are not specific to the 700 Series but rather e-biking in general. That said, my experience with e-biking is on the 700 series. Things I like: 1) This is a lot more fun than conventional cycling and you can still get your heart rate high by using lower levels of assistance or going at a higher speed. If I want to avoid sweating, I can. If I want a workout, I can do that too. 2) I like that I can remove the battery so that I can charge it in a cooler environment or bring it up to my office. 3) I really like the feel of the tires on the pavement, great grip 4) My bike guy tells me that this bike is well-equipped in terms of components, especially at this price point My problems: 1) The bike rack on the city bus only supports tires with a width up to 2.25", this bike is 2.4". I tried it anyway and it doesn't fit. This reduces my options on the commute and I wish I would have bought something with a smaller wheel and maybe a bit less weight. 2) The 60 miles of range might be true but there would be a lot of caveats on that. For one, you'd be using a such low level of assistance that you'd basically just be offsetting the extra weight of this bike and it would feel like pedaling a normal weighted bike 60 miles. Secondly, they tell you to operate the battery between 20% and 80% so that really only opens up 60% of the battery for normal use. Finally, if you read the ideal operating temperatures for the battery... in my geography, you get like 3 days a year you can ride the bike. 3) Originally, I was thinking about this in terms of the cost per mile based on my cost of a kw/h. The reality is charging the battery is almost free from an energy perspective. The real cost is the battery will only take a limited number of charges and is a very expensive part to replace. If you include the wear and tear on battery this isn't such a cheap commute. 4) While my bike mechanic appreciates the components, he has struggled getting the rear spokes to stay at tension... he thinks the bike might be too heavy for the wheel provided. Ride 1up has been supportive as we work through this but its been annoying. 5) This isn't a huge deal but the bike can be a bit of a wuss about hills. I live in Iowa so this isn't a big problem for me.

So far so good! Have over 40 miles almost 30 commutes to/from work on the Ride1Up 700 series. It’s getting colder and darker leaving me lots of pleasant rides with the headlight and taillight that work great. The ride to work is downhill and all uphill for the ride home (which was a killer with my non-powered pedal bike). The brakes seem to be bedding in well with only minor adjustment needed. The rear derailleur has needed adjustment to keep easy shifting. Only minor gripe I have is there is a vibration rattle I haven’t been able to track down. Overall, great e-bike, with great performance. Time will tell how the batteries last as everything on the bike should last very well.

Well let me start by saying I’ve been an avid Ebike enthusiast for about 7 years. This is my eight purchase, (2 Ecotric’s, Rattan, Rad, and 3 Aventon’s) however it’s my first commuter bike. Everything else was a fat tire bike and I was sick and tired of pedaling a “lumber wagon” on the paved trails so after weeks of research the Ride1Up came out as the one with the highest overall rating. Great price as well – especially for a bike with so many branded parts. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the fat tire bike, it’s just that they have their place and riding on paved trails really isn’t really one of them. Alas, the commuter bike made better sense for that everyday ride. This Ride1Up 700 Series lives up to the hype that is written about it. I will say that assembly on this bike was the most extensive by FAR! I’ve been around bikes long enough so it wasn’t a problem, but it took about an hour and half to assemble it all and get it adjusted for my first ride. All though it’s a 750 watt motor I didn’t get that feeling since it has a very slow PAS sensitivity and the sensor takes a while for it to catch up to the pedaling. Not a bad thing, it appears that every manufacture has a different idea on what’s right and what’s not right. It’s been four days now – I have about 140 miles on it and I’m getting use to the bikes personality. It’s a smooth, quiet ride. Best brakes I’ve ever had. Easy to handle and really lots of fun. I’ve changed out the seat and seat post with an oversized seat and shocked absorbed seat post. I switched out the handle bars with a 3.75” riser and @ 4” wider. I’m 70 and I wanted to sit more upright than the original design offered. Oh, I also added a super custom trailer hitch for pulling my trailer. (See Pictures) In conclusion, the Ride1Up is a great bike for the price – you WILL NOT be disappointed by any means. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Happy Biking!

So excited for my step-through 700! After my husband purchased his 700, and I put miles and miles on it, I finally got my bike. Packaging is done extremely well, some 50+ zip ties and foam packaging later she’s ready to go!

Charles P.

Fun and fast! Nearly Everything worked great. Bought one and then a second when we found how much fun they are and how easy it is to get around town on ‘em. My son rides one to grade school 3 miles from home mostly on bike path. He can almost beat a car getting there (yes, full face helmet for him). We needed to adjust spokes and true the wheels on both bikes. We did the second one before ever riding it. Recommend to have a shop do it unless you have the skills and spoke tool. We put the cyber shot 350 rear light and nite rider 1000 in front to be seen by cars and for any night riding, We use the bikes lights on and the others are blinking when riding. Handles very well at speed and mileage seems very much on what is claimed. Did a ride in the mountains carrying the spare battery mounted on rack with bungees. On level 5 I got 46-47 miles (2 batteries) before back at car and these are serious mountains in VA on Shenandoah National park skyline drive and had a little charge in the last battery. Anyway, my family loves the bikes. Get one if you can and use it!

Dan Castorani

Really enjoying my new 700 st. It has great take off speed and excellent breaks.

Jo Ann B.

Love the bike recently purchased a Cafe Cruiser too. All that we use now to get around Cape May NJ

I I would rate our experience with shipping and assembly as a four, but the bike as a whole was definitely a five. Originally FedEx would not deliver our bikes stating that the hazardous material paperwork had not been filled out correctly by Ride1Up. When I contacted Chad in customer service he verified the issue with the paperwork and reshipped our bikes. We missed a week of riding but were happy to have the bikes at all, as it is difficult to ship anything with lithium ion batteries to Alaska. The video showing assembly was a little lacking in certain areas but overall we were able to overcome the issues. After we assembled both bikes, we took them to a bike shop to have them tuned and tightened. The bike shop was impressed at the quality of the bikes and only charged us for tune-ups as the assembly was done well. The quality of the bike and inclusion of accessories was impressive. Standard ebikes without accessories in Alaska were at least double what we paid with Ride1Up. The power and shifting is smooth and the motor is very quiet. The battery lasts a long time. The bikes were charged at 80% when we received them and we've put 48 miles on them so far, with 1 bar of battery left. We've only used pedal assist, not the throttle, so I'm sure that extends the discharge. I love that I can sit up straight to ride and that the handle bars are adjustable in several ways. The step through is nice for rides in the city, where waiting for traffic lights is common. The quality is amazing for the price - from the handle bars to the kickstand. I highly recommend this bike to anyone doesn't want to sacrifice quality for price.

Great value for money. Still has problems. The wheels on my bike came super out of true and had no threadlocker. Finding a bike shop that would fix it in the summer was almost impossible. Nobody wants to work on a 63lb ebike. My bike also got a key that went right through the tire and popped the tube. I wish they had a kevlar belt to stop objects from going right through the tire. The tire itself was impossible to replace myself and the bike shop I went to told me i shouldn't try to replace the tubes because the tire is way too tight to do without professional tools he reccomended i get a better tire that wasnt so difficult to replace and that has reinforcement. The motor hall sensor will kill the motor if im on a steep hill and thats really annoying. Having to constantly restart the bike. The motor also gives feedback sometimes that sounds really bad. I dont know if the motor is damaged but i hope its normal. I wish there was a charging indicator on the bike to show it was charging. Sometimes i think its plugged in but its not. Some sort of fast charger would be awesome or a way to put another battery on. I got it for 300 off and that was a great deal so its hard to complain but i hope they make improvements to the next model.

Love the bike! I bought myself one and also bought my wife the step through. Lots of fun and you can get as much of a workout as you desire based off whatever setting you choose from 1-5 levels of assist.

I got this eBike for commuting to/from work. It has been so hot this Summer in New Mexico that I dreaded biking home after work until I got this eBike which shortened my ride time home from ~65 minutes to ~36 minutes!

Woody Chichester

This is my first e-bike, after renting a few around town for rides and I have to say, I love this bike! It’s perfect for my work commute, which is a little hilly. Using the ride assist settings is super easy, and the only thing I had any trouble with was getting the rear rack right enough. The video on the ride1up site was essential for helping me put the bike together. I love my sweet 700 series!

Tyler H.

So far, I'm really enjoying my new bike. It looks great, rides comfortably, and is fast! The only issue I ran into was after about 30 miles, I got a LOT of wheel noise. I took it to a bike repair shop where they needed to tighten the spokes. 4/5 for this bike for needing to take a bike to the shop after only a few days of riding.

Todd Isaman

We have had so much fun with these bikes so far! We already have over 200 miles on them. Had one little issue with one of the bikes rear brakes during shipping and they helped us fix it right away. Super pleased with the customer service and the quality of the bikes! Would definitely recommend these bikes to anyone.

Stephen MBA

Great Bike, wonderful ride for main commuting and easily customizable. I like the frame and the way I can sit on my bike throughout the commute in comfort. The initial components are great and the class 3 keeps me at 28 miles an hour. Excited to see how it does in the snow!

I bought two 700 series bikes, on for me and one for my wife 2 and a half years ago. We have upwards of 3800 miles on each and have had zero problems. These are great bikes, we typically ride around 30 miles on each ride and almost always have at least 60% battery left when we get home.

Stephen E.

Got two.. Assembly is not to hard if you fallow the video . Love the bike so far, they are a joy to ride..

What a fantastic experience so far. Due to a pretty bad car crash years ago my wife has been unable to ride a bike unless she’s on a perfectly flat surface. We recently rented e-bikes to ride the Virginia Creeper trail and she was hooked. I researched bikes for her to the point of paralysis by analysis. Finally I pulled the trigger on this and am so glad I did. I ordered it on a Wednesday and it came on Friday. Wow! I’m pretty handy and started assembling it around 11am. The instructions that come with the bike are terrible. I had to watch a couple of different YouTube videos to complete the bike. This was frustrating. I was almost done, ready to add the rear rack only to discover the holes for it weren’t drilled properly. I contacted customer service and since it was a holiday weekend didn’t get a response until Tuesday. Greg was awesome and had me take it to a local bike shop to get the holes retapped and he said they’d reimburse me for the repair. The bike shop discovered the front brake was bent during shipping and fixed that along with the rack. When I sent the receipts to Greg this morning I was reimbursed for the expense within 30 minutes. Wow! The bike is fantastic. My wife has ridden it every day. A charge lasts much longer than advertised. It has tons of power. The powder blue is gorgeous. When I asked my wife for feedback she said “bike go fast, bike go far.”. 😂 We could not be happier with Ride1Up as a company, the bike is great, it’s sooo easy to ride (another quote from my wife). I made the right choice.

I really love my new 700 step thru model, plus was on sale. The bike is very fast, rides nice and bigger tires make it stabile. Goes at least 40 miles on a charge, even if I use 80% pedal assist. Seems to be very well built, and assembly was not that bad, good instructions on-line. Great deal!!

R1U Rocks and so does FedEx you all were so fast from time of order to front door. Cali to Wisconsin…thought maybe they road the bikes here it was so fast. 😀 Make sure to keep track of where shipment is to be home to accept delivery. They wouldn’t release it when first attempt to deliver failed. In my opinion team effort but they delivered with a smile the next day. My bride’s 700 is cool and sexy! She didn’t want the turbo boost but really likes it especially when you need to cross busy roads hit turbo and you’re off and running again! Well done folks you deliver what you promised! Thank you R1U!

Edmund C.

I love my bike, and everyone that has seen it is very impressed with it. The build quality and features are unbeatable for the price, and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. My only caveat would be that the bike comes disassembled, and it may be daunting for some people to do the assembly on their own. However, when I put the pieces together, no further adjustments were needed—the brakes were perfectly calibrated, as were the gears! Highly recommend.

Gunnar

I actually bought my 700 series used from a private seller. The bike already had 700 miles on it before I purchased it. Fast forward a year I have put a total of 2,650 miles on this bike. I commute 30 miles to work everyday. I've gotten flats twice which slime stopped the leak borg times but other than that this bike has never let me down. I'm very impressed. I do wish the gears could go a little higher so my legs wouldn't go so fast on level 9 speed but other then that I have no complaints. I'm still using original battery and charger. Battery has seemed to degrade but I can still make my trip everyday. I look forward to many more miles on my bike!

Deb W.

We absolutely love our 700 series bikes! Even more impressive than we expected. We've been able to explore so much of the area around us and get so much more exercise. Our only regret is that we didn't get them sooner. Thank you

Love the ride of the bike and it was easy to setup. For me the seat is a little hard so I purchase a different one online. I love the bright display and how easy it to use with the pedal assist. Crazy nice bike, I don’t know what took us so long to purchases these two bikes. We ride them everywhere. As you can see in the picture we purchased a couple of heavy duty locks to lock them up when we’re at restaurants or stores in our town and mounted them on the sides of the bike. You can’t beat the quality or price compared to other E-bikes I looked at. Very happy with our two Ride1up bikes!

Dustin Di Mauro

Fast and efficient. Assembly wasn’t too bad either, any bone head can do it. Watch the assembly video Ride one up has on YouTube. Only tip I have is, It was easier to attach front disk brake with air in the tire

Robert D.

The bike is fantastic - I have enjoyed riding it greatly. So far I have ridden on a 30 mile ride and my expectations are to eventually work up to 50 or 60 miles on one ride. The only thing I wish was a little different was climbing steep grades the motor seems to need breaks on the climb, but other than that I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Ordering a bicycle in NE OH in the winter time may not be the ideal time but the price became too low to resist. I compared ebikes for almost a year and finally decided the Ride 1Up was the one I wanted. I made up my mind on a price point and then kept checking the sale pricing periodically . I originally had my eye on the 500 Series. Then when the price on the 700 dropped and was so close to the 500, I decided to place the order for that bike instead. I saw so many comments about the difficulty of assembling it and that concerned me but my husband was able to put it together with no difficulty at all. The bike arrived in perfect condition. I haven’t been able to ride it at all due to the weather so I’m unable to comment on that. I will say, the bike appears a little big for me even though I got the step through. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to change the seat. My other bikes have much more, shall we say, “friendly” seats. My husband likes it so much, we ordered another bike-this time the Core 5. If that one fits me better, we’ll trade off. I’m disappointed that bike does not have suspension forks but I saw a tip about getting a suspension seat so we might change that out. The seat changes are not expensive alterations. That bike has not arrived yet. We are really excited to try them out. I only gave the 4 star rating because we’ve not been able to ride them yet. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed in the performance. Otherwise, the bike is solid, well built, easy to assemble and aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

William U.

Great dollar value and quality. Nice fit and finish, well-made. Exceeded expectations. Complicated assembly, but no issues. The headlight provides excellent luminosity. I use 1 and 2 assist levels about 90% of the time, that's plenty of help (I'm 70). Easily gets 50 miles per charge (Flat coastal Florida). Son and daughter "steal" it every chance they get.

Assembly took about 4 hrs. Had a near disaster on one of my first rides when front wheel came loose and wobbled at about 25 mph. Reset and tightened...no issues since. Ive ridden about 70 miles and enjoying the bike. Very solid, stable. Easy to ride with no pedal assist. But i find myself using levels 1 and 2 frequently around my neighborhood. Throttle is great for short quick scoots, start assist, across streets or over tougher to pedal terrain.

This bike makes me so happy.

The bike has been fine. I am in a mountainous area so I am very glad I switched to the 700 series. There were a few issues with assembly. Main one was the spokes were loose and making a lot of noise when riding. There were some screw holes that were not threaded far enough. Other than that I love the bike and am enjoying it very much. It is very well built and easy to maintain. I have about 200 kilometers on it so far, and would recommend it to anyone.

I am still trying to figure out how to use the gears and the psa on hills.

This is an excellent bike. I love it and it is changing my life. I highly recommend you try it. The company is great too and really stands behind the products.

We purchased both the 700 ST and 700 XR. So far both have been great. We had some damage during shipping on the XR but customer service sent me replacement parts and a credit for the inconvenience. Looking forward to many rides with my wife.

Nice bike for the price

I purchased a 700-series in the beginning of August primarily to commute to my business, a 12 mile round trip, 5 days a week for 60 miles a week. I live in Vermont on a dirt road, so half the ride is hard packed gravel, then some rather rough and cracked pavement with some steep hills. As of today I have 548 miles on the display in 9 weeks of riding. I have been very impressed with the bike. It has handled well when I have hit rather than missed some pot holes. Brakes are great, especially when a car pulls out in front of you. Easily does 28 mph on the flat areas. Vermont is a very progressive state and does have many dedicated bike lanes on the main roads and is currently offering a rebate of up to $400. on the purchase of an E bike for commuting. The seat is very comfortable and I like the more upright position as I have not had any back or posterior pains from the ride. The bike is very solid and well built and I would not hesitate to recommend this bike to others. It has gotten me back into biking after many years. I found the assembly to be easy, it took around 2 hours and the display and throttle quite simple and easy to use.

3200 miles so far. Just finished a 400-mile round trip from Sacramento to Reno and back. I hit some pretty rough roads in the mountains. My 700xr ran like a dream. This is one tough bike. Thanks, Ride1Up!

After a pretty extensive dive on the E-bike market, the 700 Series stood above the rest of the field as the best quality ride I'd get for a sub $2000 dollar price point. It's worth pointing out that my bike came with a brake lever that was unfortunately broken, but Ride1Up's customer service was excellent and they worked with my local bikeshop (where I had the bike assembled) to send the necessary repair components. It was easy to get in touch with Ride1Up, and there were no issues with shipping extra items; a fairly impressive feat given that I'm across the country from where they're based at. I can't stress this enough, though: it became readily evident that I didn't have the expertise to install my bike in a safe (or even functional lol) manner after unboxing. So, if you aren't the handiest person like me, I'd recommend skipping the "trying to assemble," step that I loitered at. Just take your bike to a local shop and trust that you're getting the most technically sound assembly possible. In terms of riding, this is easily the most fun I've had on any bike I've ever owned or otherwise ridden. Handling is smooth and steady, the suspension is awesome, and you're absolutely flying on the "lower," PAS levels (2&3), to the point where I've barely felt the need to engage in higher assist. The throttle is a wonderful feature and you'll genuinely blow by traffic in an inner city. Best of all, the bike's settings are readily customizable and the display screen is easy to navigate. Plus, the handlebars allow for easy installment of phone mounts, rearview mirrors, lights or whatever other accessories you'd care to add. If you're seriously in the business of getting a commuter E-bike and don't want to break the bank, it's hard to look past this bike. It's an awesome value and an even better riding experience. I don't usually leave online reviews--just not my style--but this bike is so wonderful that I had to. Thanks Ride1Up!

From start to finish ride 1up was smooth in the initial purchase and delivery. Very important to me. Assembly was exactly what I thought it would be for a boxed ebike..lots of foam, zip ties and clutter all across the floor but organized to say the least. Very few adjustments needed to get ride ready..seat, handlebars,and front disc brake Easy for a novice like myself 1st ride was like butter Easily learned controls and functions quickly, 18 mile ride and I'm so sold on my decision on this purchase of the 700 RT Florida lifestyle requires no hills so this bike can really handle all that I give it so far Very impressive and thank you Ride 1Up

My wife bought the Series 700 XR for me on my birthday. This is my first e-bike. Shipping was very quick. Bike arrived in excellent condition. I assembled it two days ago. Assembly was easy but took some time. The rear derailleur was perfect right out of the box. Yesterday I took it out on a 15 mile ride on the River Mountain Trail and the Union Pacific Trail here in southern Nevada. The ride was great and I love the bike. I left it on PAS level 2 and it gave me just enough help on the hills and used very little battery. I still got a good workout. After 15 miles I still had 80% battery left. The ride is smooth and comfortable and I am just loving this bike. I don't think I could have mad a better choice.

This a very sturdy bike. It is heavy but easy to turn and has good brakes. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 200lbs. I can ride more than 35 miles in almost flat Florida on pedal assist 3 pedalling less than half the time. Top speed is 28 with no pedalling. I put on a wider seat because I 67 and the ride is a more upright position. Really like the bike it's nice to be able to be able to do a quick errand. I think I need to get the panniers.

I give it 4.5 stars but not 5 stars. The set-up took some time as the manual wasn't detailed enough and front fender doesn't fit well. I'm riding the bike without it. It runs smooth so far.

My very first ebike and enjoying it so far (200 miles). Electric motor is certainly louder than other ebikes and some gears are more comfortable than others but overall, good bike for the money. Very sturdy and Very heavy. It flies by others on the road as going up to 30mph while on pedal assist is a no issue. Battery range is quite good too. I cycled 37miles with the lights on at 95% and ended with 40% end of the ride. No range anxiety here. Hydro brakes are pretty good and will stop you when applied. About 1-1,5sec delay in pedal assist for the motor to kick in, but hand throttle will help for the kickstart when needed. Was deciding between Aventon Level and Ride1Up 700 and pretty happy with my decision, given the extras that come with Ride1Up as an advantage. If you take your time while putting it together, you will have no issues. Hopefully support service will be good when and if needed too. If your budget allows, 700 seems to be at a good spot considering the available options, the quality of materials, build quality and practicality.

Very impressive packaging and quality of components. Assembly was fairly easy with the help of available videos. The controller can be finely tuned to the rider's preference (PAS % power). The motor power is impressive. The slow start option on the throttle helps to avoid surprise surges when moving the bike, as there is no option to shut it off. Things to improve: 1. Written assembly instructions are not accurate (bolt sizes and torque settings). 2. My controller cannot be changed to a % battery power in the display. Customer support could not resolve it. 3. The front brake hydraulic line is too short to allow a stem extension to raise the handlebars, or to put on a higher rise bar. 4. The electric cables need disconnect plugs for easy replacement of handlebar mounted components (as per competitors) 5. A throttle disable option would be nice. 6. Walking mode is way too fast.

John Ricketson

Absolutely fantastic from the time I placed the order to the time I received the bike --- I did have it assembled at my mike shop and it was a good choice - I enjoy every minute of it . Nice touch to include a few tools and a warm woolly hat -- better photos on a warmer day

KEVIN J.

I haven't had a chance to ride it more than a few times however I loved riding it during these trips out. Assembly was straight forward and accomplished easily with two people. I highly recommend this purchase to friends and look forward to warmer weather to ride it more often.

I look forward to riding my Ride1Up 700XR every day. I have logged over 320 miles in last three weeks, mostly commuting to work and back. The 8-gear transmission works well for my terrain. Shifting is precise. Hydraulic braking is excellent. The front shocks make for a surprisingly solid, smooth ride. The integrated headlight and taillight are a great safety feature, and since the lights draw power from the main battery, I turn them on every time to increase my visibility. The 14ah battery has never depleted fully. My longest ride was 36 miles, through hills, trails, and streets, with 20% remaining at the end. Customer support via email is prompt and excellent. After assembly, my front brake felt a little spongy, so I bought a hydraulic bleed kit and repaired it. R1U covered all the costs. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the bike, or the company. If you are considering a commuter bike, the 700 series from Ride1Up is a great choice.

cindy madill

I don't think there is another ebike that compares for the value. Hydraulic brakes are incredible. Very balanced bike with perfect seat position. I purchased for my father and he turned around and bought one for his girlfriend. I have had 2 more friends purchase on my recommendation and they are super pleased. If I could offer one bit of advice....the assembly is just a bit much. Prefer open the box and go. But overall quality bike.

Bob Marciano

OMG once you ride one of these you will never go back to a regular bike. I love that i can now ride 40 mile s in 2-3 hours and not 5-6 like my regular Bike. I have over 800 miles logged and no issues. I normally use assist level 2 once and while hit the throttle for some hills but have been able to average 40 miles on 75-80% usage. Note Usage meter is not linear at all but you get used to it. I go 18 miles and it still reads 100% and i know that is wrong. Plan on purchasing a 2nd so i can get the wife out with me.

Wu Wei Huang

The bike works pretty good. Only issue I have is the gear between 6,5,4. It skips them up and down. Other gears looked fine. That's why it's a 4 stars!

Gary

Great color display. Easy setup and a Very powerful bike.
