Excellent bike with quality components
Richard D.
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.

We love the bikes they look great,easy to operate and ride really good and with the CVT it is really smooth no skipping or any chain noise it fantastic.

Sorry, no reviews match your current selections
Love the bike! The motor is quiet and responsive, the Enviolo CVT belt drive is fantastic (especially since I frequently have to stop too fast to downshift on a conventional chain-driven bike), and it looks amazing! I like a slightly more aggressive riding position than the fairly upright/relaxed one this provides, but that’s just a matter of preference. I was a bit hesitant about getting my first step-through frame instead of a step-over (since that was the only kind in stock for the belt-driven variant when I ordered), but this bike handles just fine.
One star off only because the rear rack, despite looking sleek as hell, doesn’t have enough space above the rails to fit my Ortlieb panniers’ hooks (and the top bars of the rack for mounting a basket are too big), so now I need to find another kind of pannier that suits me. That said, it’s a fairly minor complaint from an otherwise fantastic bike.
Looking forward to many more rides on my Prodigy V2!
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. 5'8" w/ 30" inseam and the bike fits perfectly. I got the step-through variant but a step-over would also fit.
I am not sure how to review this correctly. The bike has been ridden for a total of two 1 to 1.5 mile trips and a trip much shorter than that. The ordering experience was rocky at best it took 15 days to go from Salt Lake City to Napa. If they would have let me I would have gone up and been back with 11 days to spare and 2 visits with one of my kids. Wouldn’t have been so touchy about it but I got a total of 3 notices that my bike was picked up by a shipper. Then the threads for the front fender were not threaded correctly. Then during third ride a moment where I was in the wrong gear and trying to go up hill a pedal stripped out and wouldn’t go back in. The first response to me was I had not installed the pedal correctly and that the fender was stripped by me as well. At this point I wanted to just return the bike start fresh with a better company. My problem is I enjoyed the ride. The feel of the drivetrain was interesting and worked for me. I need to lose weight however the pedal should hold my 250 pounds. My wife was able to talk to someone who offered to reimburse me for the retapping on the front fender and sending me a new crank arm. However here we go again 2 days later and no tracking number for said crank arm. I also get the privilege of doing all the legwork for the fender for them. So yes not sure how to feel overall and right after alll this they send an e-mail asking for a review. So here it is.

I’m in love with this bike. I haven’t biked outdoors for years, but I jumped on an ebike on vacation and was so inspired. I came back and researched like crazy and landed on the R1UP Prodigy. It’s perfect for me. I wanted a bike that will support my aging knees and hips, but still allow me to feel a natural ride and get exercise. THIS IS IT! I can now climb hills, get a great burn without pain. I can go 30+ miles feeling exhilarated. It’s also incredibly solidly made. Every detail was considered in this gorgeous bike. Get it!

I selected the Prodigy v2 with the belt CVT because I live in a very hilly area and like to climb hills for exercise. The Enviolo rear hub is awesome! You can balance a Enviolo twist setting with one of the power modes to get the level of exercise you want in hill climbing. And the seamless shifting is really a unique experience. I highly recommend adding the belt CVT option. I’m loving my Prodigy v2! I also got the step-through frame which makes getting on/off a little easier since I’m 71.
