I live in LA and have been getting increasingly frustrated with traffic. I bought the Prodigy V2 and my commute time has almost been cut by 1/3. The bike works like a charm and I’m thrilled with how it handles. The battery life is more than enough for me to go to and from work before having to charge.

Excellent bike with quality components

Outstanding ebike! This my third Prodigy V2 for the family. They come packed very safely. Lots of protection. Not one scratch or ding. Very easy to assemble. Just attach handlebars, front wheel and pedals. It comes fully inspected and all adjustments correctly done. The 9 speed Advent shifts perfectly out of the box. Brakes (deluxe 4 piston Tektro Orion) stop on a dime. The fit and finish on this bike is better than I’ve seen on some big brand name $5,000 ebikes. Beautiful paint and professional clean frame welding. This bike can climb! Ridden over some 15% 4,000ft climbs in the mountains. Long rides of 60-80 miles are easily done with one spare battery carried on the rack. Regular daily rides in SPORT mode of 30 hilly miles with 1500ft climbing leaves 40-50% battery remaining. The three Prodigy V2 have a cumulative total of 1,000 trouble free miles. The Prodigy V2 XR fits people with only 27in inseam.

The design, components, and sturdiness are first rate. It’s very quiet credit to the Brose motor, CVT hub, and belt. I had some difficulties installing the front fender and finally had to use a tap. The paint had some unevenness, and the rear fender is dull slightly askew. I need to fix that eventually. Assembly (except that front fender) was ber smooth. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase, and I’d buy it again.

My wife and I purchased two Prodigy V2 bikes. My wife's is a step-through model and mine the step-over. We have put many miles on them over the past 3 months and love them. The Prodigy V2's belt drive, Enviolo transmission, and powerful Brose mid-motor were big selling points for us after experiencing the advantages of mid-motor and Enviolo hub ebikes riding through the Vienna country-side earlier this year. And the German Brose motor has not disappointed. It is quiet and give you just the right amount of boost when needed, and is adjustable depending on the terrain. The hybrid Maxxis tires are noisier than the Brose motor. The Brose motor gives the slightest hum when pushed, but is otherwise mostly silent. The Prodigy V2's frame build is solid and gives you a feeling of confidence when riding. Since I am 6' 2" in height I was worried about the fit. While I wish the handlebar mount was adjustable, I can't say that I am uncomfortable when riding. I do plan to purchase a longer seat post at some point, as I have it extended to the maximum allowed, but again it is has not caused me discomfort at this height. One issue that I have had is the Tektro brake rotor on my front rim is slightly warped or misaligned. I have had the calipers and pads adjusted and the rim trued by an expert, but the inside brake pad rubs ever so lightly on occasion. I suspect that I will have to replace the pads and rotor prematurely. One other minor issue with my bike, but not a problem with my wife's Prodigy, is the battery cover. On my Prodigy it has a hard time latching, and if I am not careful it will fall off. I have had this happen one time while riding, so I am now extremely careful to double checking that it is latched securely. Other than this, I highly recommend the Prodigy V2 to anyone looking for a mid-drive ebike.

When we go for family rides, everyone fights over who gets to ride the Prodigy v2. The Brose Mid Drive, Belt CVT, and Enviolo shifting make this one of the best spec’d e-bikes you can find, intuitive and natural to ride, all at a great value for the price.
Sorry, no reviews match your current selections
I have ridden about 75miles so far. I put on clip in pedals, shock absorbing seat post , bar end mirror, flat handlebar grips with bar end grips, and softer seat. Unable to shut off headlight, battery cover should have been metal with a rubber gasket(getting crud in battery compartment), and it would have been great if the battery was 750 w. My Ibera panniers do fit the rack.
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. The bike fits fine, I got a step thru frame because my short inseam. I am 68" tall and weigh 185#.
Very easy to operate. Lots of fun.

I love my Prodigy V2. Easy to put together, and so far a great ride. I love the belt drive paired with the Brose motor. Thanks Ride 1Up for a great product.
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I’m 6’2”. I need a longer seat pole. I have it at the top of allowed length and it’s about an inch too short.
Difficult to review because the components on the bike are great and are exactly what I wanted, but there are pros and cons with buying a bike online. Enviolo rear hub is great and is better than expected. Brose motor performs really well with the torque sensor and has very smooth operation. Again, better than expected. Wish the Brose software was setup to be able to turn the headlight off when using on bike trails (is available on some other manufacturers using this motor), and wish the Brose app was available for this bike. Bike is very comfortable to ride, though I will probably get a suspension seatpost at some point. I also like the upright position. The only issue so far was the paint/finish from the factory. Can’t see the bike before purchasing so this is always a potential con. There was a spot of paint that was touched up on the top of the frame above the bottle cage mounting. Very noticeable. Ride1up did provide a bit of a discount, but it didn’t cover the cost to repair the paint to my satisfaction. It does look great now. With all this, though, I got what I wanted and it is something that I couldn’t find at a bike shop near me. I am happy with this bike and already enjoy riding it. Just wish quality control was a bit better.
I am very satisfied with my new bike, it has met all of my expectations so far.
