It is a great bike right out of the box! Delivery was fast and bike + accessories were perfect. Rear wheel removal is not possible due to a wirenut in the chain stay- even at the bike shop. A quick release system for the power wire would solve this. Also had the shop set up the tubeless tires due to difficult tirebead set. They work great now. Power buttons are in an awkward location and I will customize. It's light weight and setup makes it ride like a fast gravel/road bike!

Great value, easily modified. After a couple months of tinkering, everything is just right. With power set at zero, it's a little heavy. Level 1 counters the weight , and at level 3 , I can effortlessly cruise at 25 MPH!. Going up hills feels like cheating.

I am very pleased with the CF Racer1, it is as advertised. I was impressed that tools and lubricants were included for assemble. The shipping container provided excellent protection for the bike even though it took a beating in transit. It takes a little digging on the website to locate the 26 page controller instruction manual that was not included. I've been riding a Lemond Buenos Aries the past 30 years and decided, at 76, I needed to upgrade to a bike that would give me an assist on long windy rides. My biggest surprise is that with no assist I am able to ride close to the same speeds as the Lemond. I also found the large frame fits me well and the saddle is not uncomfortable for my 5'10" height. With assist I can ride any day without considering hills or wind. A fully charged battery is good for about 50 miles with the level of assist I typically use.

Loving this bike. I was looking for a bike that was light, fun to ride and enough power to climb seriously steep hills. I procrastinated looking at bikes costing 3 times the price, and had reservations that the CF Racer could meet my expectations and needs in terms of battery life and power. I decided to pull the trigger, and seriously impressed that not only does it meet my needs but exceeds them. I can climb very steep inclines and barely use the motor the remainder of my rides, the battery level has never dropped below 60%. Backup has been excellent, I wanted advice on adding an accessory and contacted Customer Service, the response was just a few hours! I missed out on the SRAM Rival spec but have the SRAM Apex dialed in for smooth gear changes. Tubeless tires are a major upgrade, hoping these will minimize any future puncture issues. The CF Racer puts a huge smile on my face every time I ride it.

140 miles since I received it! Running lengthy rides, at a good speed, and loving it. Thank you.

I am 60+ female, with >25 years carbon fiber road bike experience, and love it. I am not a bike techie, but could tell a nice riding bike from another. My techie family put the bike together. We rarely owned a non-road (and for more than 15 years) non-carbon fiber bike. This is my first e-bike. I have taken the bike out for 4 test rides (about 45 mins each), on familiar terrain and ventured into some hills. Yes, the bike has all the fancy parts, looks great, like a road bike, and generally handles well.
After 4 long rides, my question is what is the point? Why make a carbon fiber road e-bike? You take a nice CF road bike and make it heavier. Yes, you can go faster, but you have to keep paddling, whatever the terrain, so little rest for the tired. Overall it does not match the joy of a CF road bike. The R1UpCF does not have a throttle like the other CF bike I tested. So it is not a light road bike, and is not a real smooth cruising e-bike.
The Ride1 UP CF bike arrived with the front tire leaking the sealant all over. (Now after 2 months/4 rides I seem to have an issue with a consistently flat tire – but that could be anything). On arrival, the brake was not adjusted and needed new tools to adjust. The company’s answer was this happens and it is easy to fix. Communication with customer service was not helpful. They sent links to internet videos that we had referred them to. By the third time we communicated, they were dismissive.
The shifter (newest (to me) technology I guess) makes noise and is not in place when it reaches the top gear, and it keeps clicking – not acceptable on a new bike. The seat is a butt buster, the hardest I’ve ever ridden. At assist levels 1 & 2 the ride feels more tiring and less smooth than a regular CF road bike. I do feel the speed and ease at levels 3-5, when the battery drains quickly. I’d stick with a nice CF road bike.
I got a small size bike, I am 5ft5 in. It seems a tiny bit large for me. The seat post is very long and needs to be shortened for a slightly better fit.
