I absolutely LOVE my Ride1up Lmt'd. I purchased one of the last ones prior to the V2. As suggested elsewhere, if you are not comfortable with bike mechanics, you might want to use a local bike shop for assembly. I had no issues, and already have a few hundred miles in the first month. As a strong rider, I upgraded the chainring from 46 to 50 teeth to get a bit more top end pedaling. I have also added fenders, and an Ibera brand integrated rear rack and quick release rear carrier. The torque sensor makes this bike smooth, powerful, and responsive. I get 50 to 55 miles average range in PAS 2 or 3 out of 5. On steep hills , it's nice to kick it up to 4-5. I spoke with support (live phone support!) once, and they were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I Highly recommended the Ride1Up brand. I am open to test rides if anyone is interested (I live in Denver).

Very happy with the bike and Ride1Up customer service and support.

I finally decided on what my first e-bike was going to be, and I'm glad I chose the LMT'D. I mainly got it for the fact that it has a torque sensor, but the other features are satisfactory. The upright seating position, step through frame, and swept back handlebars make this an excellent commuter bike. The throttle will keep me around 20mph easily. As for the pedal assist, I can keep it around 25mph pedaling comfortably, but with a little more hard pedaling I can get up to that 28mph top speed, and even a little more with some tail wind. While I'm not a big fan of derailleurs, the Shimano Altus is quick and snappy with the shifting. The gears come in handy quite a lot with hill climbing, which I should mention this bike is a hill climbing beast. On the lowest gear on the highest pedal assist, this thing handles even the steepest hills in my town, and there are a lot of hills here. As of now I use this bike for daily commuting to work and back. It does exactly what it needs to and it's super fun to ride. Thankfully, it is also a bit lighter than most other e-bikes, meaning that I can get this up and down the stairs in my apartment complex. Some things to note: The assembly is a bit tricky and time consuming. Be prepared for it, make sure to watch Ride1Up's video. The lock nut for the chain ring is counterclockwise, and it comes with a 1/2inch driver tool, which is handy. Make sure to do some setting up with the derailleur within your first few rides to make sure that it's shifting quickly and not clanking or scratching while you pedal. Check the box for any loose screws; I ended up finding the screw for the screen mount after searching the box for any missing parts. I willing gave up having a pre installed rack and integrated taillight so I could have a torque sensor, but I say it's a fair compromise for the price. I can always get the rack Ride1Up sells for it afterwards. If you want a torque sensor e-bike, this is the one to get. If you don't mind the cadence sensor and you want the rack and taillight, Ride1Up also sells the 700 Series bike for the same price. Overall, the bike is awesome. It's fast, fun, climbs hills, and it's great for commuting. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone that wants a powerful e-bike with a torque sensor.

On a scale of 1-10, I would give it an 11 if I could. I don't write a lot of reviews, but this bike is AMAZING. It demands a few words for the folks at Ride1Up. They have built a superior product. I purchased the bike a few months ago for use as a "gravel bike". I ride 50% pavement and 50% fire roads and trails. After an initial disappointment upon receiving a bent rear wheel out of the carton (not R1U's fault, the trucker mishandled), they quickly replaced it with a spare and paid for the installation at my local shop. Bonus points for customer service. Since then, it has been an absolute blast to ride. I live in a hilly area and the final climb up a monster hill to my house always required extra motivation to ride my old Trek mountain bike. No more! I have added a set of Schwalbe Hurricane tires to give it a bit more bite on gravel/dirt paths. The Groove-E tires that came with were great for street riding, but a little scary in fast corners off-road. I also added a stem extender to the handle bars, since I am 6' 3" and the frame geometry was a tad small. With the extender, it is fine. The stem extender was cheap and quick to install, taking all of 5-10 minutes. Let me say that the torque sensor on this bike is phenomenal. It is way, WAY better than a cadence sensor bike and it really smooths out the hills. The front air shock is also fantastic. Overall, the bike's setup lets me get a great workout in when I really push it. Yes, it is a heavy bike, but I still find my workouts are mostly with zero peddle assist, except on big hills, or when I am really tired heading home. Meanwhile, when I am going for a lazy cruise on a Sunday afternoon, it is a smooth, comfy ride. In either case, the bike has fantastic range. Overall, kudos to the peeps at Ride1Up. They deliver an outstanding product and stand behind it. Highly recommended. (Photos attached below. Apologies for the mud. It's been raining and I have been grinding off-road a bit!)

Tires were strapped so tightly that they were deformed, Had to inflate, deflate, twist multiple times before they would run without wobble. Assembly instructions were confusing with parts not shown and links leading nowhere. Had to add a spacer between the kickstand and the frame to keep my heel from hitting when pedaling. The assist level is barely visible on the display because of the color choice, blue on black. Fenders and rack are out of stock so I had to buy aftermarket ones. Overall I am happy with the value, fit, finish, performance, weight and range. I love the torque sensor and the ability to change parameters with the display.

I love my bike for both street and trail.

We waited far too long to jump on the ebike bandwagon. Don't be like us. This LMT'D bike is INCREDIBLE. Looking forward to more Ride1Up adventures here in beautiful Central Oregon.
Sorry, no reviews match your current selections
This is my first e-bike and I love it.
We are happy to hear you are loving the LMT’D.
Great bike and customer service!
Than you for your review.

We appreciate the review Stephen, we are happy to hear our support team was able to take care of your questions.
I love the bike and very happy. With that said, the bike took a good amount of work to assemble outside of normal assembly. As an example the rotors needed to be bent straight and the wheels trued. Also, my only complaint is that i wish there was an XL size option. i’m 6’3″ with long legs and the frame geometry is just a little small for me.
Very happy with the bike and Ride1Up customer service and support.
We are glad that our team was able to provide awesome service and your loving the bike.
Overall well rendered bit of kit. Upon removal from the shipping box I noticed the wheels were woefully out of true with many completely loose spokes. I trued & straightened both rims during bike assembly using a spoke tension gauge and truing stand. Had to retrue rear wheel after riding the first 20 miles (all on smooth pavement) since most of the drive side spokes loosened completely. I think rear wheel spoke maintenance might become a regular check item.
The bike rides beautifully and suits my 6’1” height. The motor on level 3 is nicely smooth & powerful even with my 260 lbs. going up the steep hills in my area. A very nice machine at this price point.
I’m a former bike shop owner and mechanic and am an engineer at a large aerospace corporation.
P.S. any chance you might be able to come up with a battery cover/warming sleeve to keep the battery warm while riding in cold weather? On my very first ride with the battery fully charged I only got 12 miles range at 45F mostly using level 2 & a few times level 3 on the steepest hills. Thanks! Patrick in Bremerton.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate it.
