FAQ'S
Can I test ride a bike?
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?
Upgraded batteries are available, but ONLY as a separate purchase.
What can I expect ordering a bike from Ride1UP?
This article will explain all about what to expect when ordering a bike from us. Ordering With Us
Can you ship to _______?
We only ship within North America. The Continental United States is FREE. Hawaii and Alaska is $400. Shipping to Canada is $100. We are not responsible for any additional tariffs charged by your local government which often times applied after importing. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship our bikes directly to Europe. You can use a shipping forwarder like ShopUsa.com to reach your country.
Can I switch the handlebars to another model?
No. The variations you see on the site are the only options we have.
Are the bikes water-proof?
The bikes are not water-proof, they are water-resistant, rated IP-65. 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 water exposure.

I have over 1650 miles on my series 500 and it has been a perfectly fine bike for the last three years. I’ve had minor tuning done, but less than with my old mountain bike. More range on the battery is the only thing I’d like, but it has worked well for me and the quality of the construction has been proven to be good. My normal local rides are between 12 and 26 miles, with some hill climbs. No complaints.
I have no idea why they discontinued such a good, practical bike.
Series 500 step over
Thank you for your review, Tom We appreciate it.
Love my bike!! Iv hady bike for 2 years already and have taken it on many adventures. It’s my go to solo camping partner and wouldn’t change it for the world.
This bike is awesome!
My wife can finally ride with me. Thanks Ride1up!
Bike Came well packaged , shipped promptly and the video was good in the assembly stage, However after 2 weeks of riding with about 60 miles on the bike Im hearing a rattling noise coming from rear hub on left side and cant figure it out. And when i try to access online support the page doesn’t load for me to inquire about the issue
