    I own a 500 and a 700. Needed a folding bike for my family of three so we bought a Lectric 2.0 a couple years back. It was heavy, slow and stopped poorly. This bike has solved all those issues.

    I love this bike. I’d just purchased a 700 series a few months back. It’s also a great bike but I started to question whether I should have foregone a more traditional style bike and gotten something more like the Portola instead. Then the Portola came out. I bought it the day after the first YouTube videos came out. Popped a tire last weekend, folded it up and fit it in the trunk of a Toyota Corolla. It’s a super fun bike.

    Heavy and awkward to carry, but that’s the way it is when you’re 5’3″. Terrific performance and will get me off the couch and out of the car for most errands, which is what I want one for. Easy to ride, stable, and good looking.

    I won a voucher for $1100 through Colorado Energy Office and after research I ended up buying The Portola battery size 48V/13.5AH. I have never owned an ebike, but have rode the lime scooter and bikes. After riding the Portola I could not believe the effortless pedaling on pedal assist and power with the throttle. The bike came with no problems except for the front headlight didn’t work. I contacted Ride1Up and they sent a replacement headlight that works great. Thank you guys when it’s time to get my next ebike I will for sure be giving your company a call.
