Can I test ride a bike? minus plus

We are a direct-to-consumer electric cruiser bike company both in pricing and strategy. You will generally pay a premium for the ability to test ride an electric bike through a dealer. However, our electric 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. You can read electric bike reviews on any of those sites. Additionally, we are now supporting an independent network of e-bike owners offering their bikes for demos.

I have two comments since I bought two bikes. This one and a step through. The ST has a different badge and the tail light works as a brake light. I like the other badge but I wish my tailight worked as a brake light.

Exceeds expectations. This entry-level ebike is aging well after 250 mi on it in only a couple of weeks. Rear seat pad is a great add-on to ride kids with it. Light could be a bit more powerful works well.

    Only had 2 rides but it seems to be great. Was easy to put together. Just realize the pedals are specific to right and left

    The reason I can’t give this 5 stars is because I feel that there was not enough notification given for a new rider that the derailleur must be adjusted prior to a test ride. I haven’t ridden a bicycle in more than 20 years and some simple, highlighted documentation could have saved me a lot of time, trouble and money. After assembly, I take it down the street and the derailleur ends up breaking to the point where it is no longer attached to the bike. The amount of torque it applied bent the derailleur hanger over the gears, and the force needed in order to remove the rear tire caused the axle threads to become damaged. I was able to get a local tire shop to grind the axle so that the nut would thread back on to secure the wheel. I placed my order exactly one month ago today, so I am now FINALLY able to ride my bicycle that I spent over $1,200 for.

    Now as for the quality of the bike, I have to say I am impressed. It is a very comfortable ride, and the assist is powerful enough that I would recommend new riders to begin with assist level 1 or 2 until you become used to it. For reference, I am a 6′ 300lb man and it will take off with me like it’s nothing. When starting from a dead stop, it’s maybe the first pedal and a half you do manually and then the assist kicks in so you go from stopped to having decent speed fairly quickly.

    I do wish that the rear light was actually a brake light instead of just a tail light, but it’s not a really big deal. What I find far worse is the included headlight. It is only useful for legality purposes and should not be trusted to provide a visible path while riding at night.

    And I have to end with some words about Ride1Up’s customer service. Throughout all of the problems I mentioned in the first paragraph, the customer service team has been excellent. They have been willing to work with me far more than I expected I have nothing but positive things to say about them. The customer service experience alone makes me want to come back to purchase my next e-bike from Ride1Up. I will absolutely recommend this company to all of my friends.

    I was looking for a comfortable bike that I could pedal if I wanted and also have pedal assist. This bike is perfect. the pedal assist is smooth and seamless not jerky like some other bikes I have tired. Riding with no motor is also very easy and comfortable. The bike looks great and has the perfect amount of power to take on anything I can imagine. I love the style. You really get a lot of bike for the money. Defiantly recommend. We also have the Rev1 and my husband loves it.


    How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I'm 5'7 135 Female the bike is really great height for me. I can easily touch the ground comfortable when standing. I have the higher frame and it's no problem at all. Also the weight is nice not too heavy but it feels very well made
