FAQ'S

minus plus
Why choose a carbon fiber ebike? minus plus

Choosing a carbon fiber frame for your ebike isn’t just a matter of material preference; it’s a smart move toward unlocking enduring value. By prioritizing the benefits of lightness, stiffness, comfort, efficiency, durability, and aesthetics, riders can confidently invest in the CF Racer1 carbon fiber ebike that provides both an exceptional riding experience and long-term value.

Can I test ride a bike? minus plus

We are a direct-to-consumer company both in pricing and strategy. You will generally pay a premium for the ability to test ride through a dealer. However, our 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. Additionally, we are now supporting an independent network of owners offering their bikes for demos. Learn more here Locations

Can I upgrade the battery? minus plus

Unfortunately the 7ah battery pack is the largest available that will fit this frame.

Can I switch the handlebars to another model? minus plus

No. The variations you see on the site are the only options we have.

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 is often applied after importing. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship our eBikes directly to Europe or Alaska at this time. You can use a shipping forwarder like ShopUsa.com to reach your country.

Are the bikes water-proof? minus plus

The bikes are not water-proof, they are water-resistant. While we do not recommend leaving the bikes out in the rain or riding in the rain or other hazardous conditions due to personal safety, the bikes can handle low pressure exposure to water. Do not submerge in water or expose to pressurized air or water. Storing your ebike in the elements could shorten the lifespan of the electric bike.

One ride, 68 miles, and very hilly terrain. This is a game changer! I enjoyed myself so much more than I have on longer rides in the recent past.

I tried multiple bikes at a local shop here in San Diego and decided on the CF racer 1. I went online and bought it. It was at my front door within a few days. I really love my purchase. This bike is slick looking and I get lots of compliments on it . I like that I have to work for it even with the pedal assist. This bike is so light even if your battery dies you won’t have any problems peddling home.

The EQUALIZER. This bike feels like it was built for me. The pedal assist helps me get up hills and allows me to ride alongside my husband, who is a stronger rider. Shifting, braking, and moving up and down the levels of pedal assist is easy and smooth. We appreciate the torque wrench and tools that arrived with the bike! Nice touch!

I am mostly using my bike for commuting to work and running errands around town, but was looking to get a bike that will strike a balance between allowing me to ride more efficiently with light frame and dropdown bars while not having a bit of power to help me climbing all the hills in the city where I live (and there are a lot). CF Racer1 allows exactly that, and I really love the versatility it offers without breaking the budget to get a comparable bike that is 2-3 times more expensive.

Love this bike. I have just gotten interested in biking, mostly small paved and gravel bike trails. I took this on a weekend trip and the battery lasted the entire weekend with around 50 miles ridden on it as well. The mileage and charge definitely makes a difference based on how much pedal assist you use. But overall it's perfect for me...it takes the edge off of me struggling but yet allows me to adjust as I ride and continue to build strength and more endurance to continue to ride longer and longer rides.

    Bike was replacing my wife’s long time Specialized road bike. She was having difficulty riding long distances at her age, but this new bike has just enough electric assistance to give her the ability to ride distances without completely wiping her out. This bike lives up to all the promises, and it is well made and was a breeze to assemble. We could not be happier!


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. 5'4" with the small CF Racer, and the fit was very close to her previous bike.

    This bike is a blast to ride. Power comes on super naturally and it’s amazingly light for what it is. Great value. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering.


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I am 5’8 a bit stocky. Ordered the small frame size and it fits me perfectly. Large would’ve definitely been too big.

    CF Racer1 Road – awesome bike.


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I am 5’11” 32” inseam and the large fits me perfectly. At 73 I can use a little assist on occasion and this is the perfect compliment. I am former Triathlete and left the sport in my 40’s after competing regionally, nationally, and internationally as an age grouper in Sprint and Olympic distances winning and placing with bike being my best leg. I ride recreationally as time and circumstances allow. I have been riding another e-bike brand with twice the torque level and a Brose motor. The CF model is perfect for a high cadence rider and am pleasantly surprised by the assist response. I am really enjoying the road bike feel after using straight bar bikes for many years. I find there is enough boost combined with the light weight and aero-dynamics to average speeds I have been able to do with my other higher torque bike. I find level 2-3 is more than adequate with occasional boosts up and down depending on wind and hills which are the rule where I ride. Initially I had a couple minor issues that I encountered but working with the support staff we were able to walk through. I do wish there was an alternative triathlon bar or clip on option as that has always been my favorite riding position. I also bought the Battery Add On but have yet to install it. So far very happy with my purchase.

    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I’m 6’0” with a 30” inseam. This size large bike fits even better than my other road bikes that I’ve been riding for years.

    One word…’Bikegasm’.


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I'm 5'10. Ordered the large. Once I adjusted the seat all the way forward the fit is fantastic. Be advised the handlebar height isn't adjustable but its still an awesome fit for me.
