Smoothest e-bike I’ve ridden. At 29 lbs you barely feel the weight, and the carbon frame makes the whole ride feel solid without being stiff. Hills are a non-issue. The motor kicks in just enough to keep your cadence steady without doing the work for you. For the price of a full carbon fiber e-bike, I don’t know how Ride1Up pulled this off. Highly recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

CF Rider 1 fills a niche in ebikes. I have a higher end Scott Addict as well for comparison. PROS: Fairly light and not much heavier than my Addict. Sharp looking bike (would have loved to customize colors). E-component with multiple levels allows to fine tune level of assist you require. Definitely powerful at the upper levels. Solid build with tubeless tires, hidden wiring, and nice saddle. Solid computer with good visibility. Nice communication with the company. Excellent toolbox included. CONS: Shifting is not as smooth as I hoped. There is a little vague feel with peddling, not quite a grind but something?? WHO IS THIS FOR: For me, this bike was purchased to share with my wife so she could have e-assist with our rides. I will also use this for my gravel rides with confidence in support if needed. Ideal Gravel bike which could function fine without any e-assist. Tubeless makes them more dependable and the disc brakes are solid.

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.

So fun. So light. Perfect gearing. So cool. Excellent human support.

Monitor was not working had to get a different one
Great bike at at great price. Easy to set up out of the box. After switching saddles and some fine tuning to the derailleur it was ready to roll. Shifting can be tricky at first which takes some time to get used to it. My first 30 mile ride was mostly on pavement with a few incursions on the dirt trail. The ride is compliant and the bike feels nimble considering its weight.
After switching through all PAS levels, but mostly on level 2 and 3 on a hilly terrain, I made it back home with 10 percent of the battery charge left. I guess 40-50 mile rides are achievable switching between level 2 and 3.
All in all, I’m very happy with my new CF Racer 1 and looking forward to many more miles and smiles…
I'm 5'8" and I ordered mine in size S based on the conversation I had with tech support and also on the fact that it shares similar frame dimensions as my road bike which is size M.
Sizing can be tricky since this bike is only offered in two sizes, so it's always a good idea to contact tech support before ordering...
