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

We only ship within North America. The Continental United States is FREE. Hawaii and Alaska is $400. Shipping to Canada is $100.

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 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.
Thank you Andrew, we are happy that the Portola exceeds your expectations and is preforming better than the Lectric 2.0 you had, we appreciate your continued support.
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.
shipped fast but seat was slightly torn and a scratch on the right side of seat post
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.
Thank you Cody, we appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. We are happy to hear you are enjoying the bike and we were able to get this taken care of for you and are also happy with the service we provided.
