Amazing bike for the price…even in Canadian dollars!! I’m 68 and have been riding road bikes for the last 16 years. With the CF Racer, I can ride anywhere, road or trail, and not be killed by surprise hills! I now have the option of how hard I want my ride to be. It’s a much more comfortable ride than my traditional skinny tire road bike and rolls effortlessly!

Absolutely has exceeded expectations in every area! Lightweight, shifts and rides perfect. Almost zero tension when bike is off, for those days you wanna go old school, however love having that option when I'm 10 miles away bucking a 40mph headwind. Having that option gets me out more. More exercise, in the best shape ever thanks to Ride1up. 200 miles in the last 3 weeks.

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!

Got the CF Racer1 for my wife, she is super happy. She loves the sparkly black paint when the sun shines. Happy wife, happy life!
Great bike! Rolls very nice and you can totally ride it even if you forgot to charge the battery or it was fully drained

Overall I really like it, I’m at about 200 miles now and steadily putting on more. Build quality and ride feel have been great, and I’m enjoying it a lot.
The one issue I had was with the rear tire, which had a hole in it. I reached out to Ride1UP support to ask about a replacement, but the response I got was that I needed to have the bike with the odometer at zero in order to get a new tire sent. Realistically, there was no way I was going to leave the bike unusable just because of a tire — by the time I got that reply (about two days later), I had already swapped the tire out myself and gone on a few rides. Because of that, support wasn’t able to send me a replacement tire, which was frustrating. A faster response, or a bit more flexibility around small parts like a defective tire, would have made a real difference.
Aside from that, the experience has been great and I’d still recommend the bike
