Great bike for the price point ! Unfortunately you can't get one anymore, I was fortunate to get mine. Added riser bars, new saddle, suspension seat post and a rear rack to personalize mine. So far so good! Also would recommend adding tannus armor tire liners, I had a flat right out of the box and my first ride.

I was considering this bike when it was full price, so when the price dropped I grabbed it immediately. It rides great, has great power. The motor is super quiet. I only have a few complaints but believe me they are minor. Brose in it's infinite wisdom decided that you can no longer turn off the headlight. This is ridiculous but not a ride1up issue. Hopefully they fix that in a software up date. Also the seat was a little small and hard for my liking. Now I am a 250 lb power lifter so it's not surprising. Most people change seats on bikes anyway. I made a few changes and additions, but these are all to personalize the bike for me, in no way was there anything wrong how it came. I added a suspension seat post, I changed the handlebar riser to bring handle bars up just a tad, and I added a triangle frame bag for some storage. For the price you cannot beat this bike. I am coming from a 4" fat tire ebike to this and will not be going back.

The whole process of ordering and assembling was super smooth. Everything worked right from the start, no need to make adjustments. Bravo! And I’m loving the mid drive motor!

Both bikes were shipped on time and seem to be great quality.

The bike is great! Gears work perfectly as well as battery. Went ahead and protected the exterior paint as its location close to the ground already got scratched. Overall very happy! Thanks

This 'is a very well built and spec'd bike. The Brose mid drive is so smooth and quiet. Everything was in fine working order when I received it and I had very little assembly to do. I have had numerous Ride1up bikes now and everyone of them has been great. I started out pretty basic and worked my way up the chain to this Prodigy.

I can't say enough good things about the customer service and the bike that I purchased. First, Ride1up is based in the United States and the service representatives are local, knowledgeable, and very helpful. They also have a 30 day price guarantee. My bike went on sale within a week of my purchase and after reaching out to customer service I was promptly refunded the difference. I did have a long wait for shipping, about 3 weeks, but my bike arrived well protected and in perfect condition. The last minor issue that I had was a stripped screw on the adjustable kickstand causing the it to not hold the correct position. I reached out to customer service once again and I had a replacement kickstand the very next day. In regards to the bike, I believe that this is one of the best values to be had. I purchased the model 700 for my wife and was very happy with the quality and components included on that bike. The model 700 does have a hub motor and a cadence sensor, causing an ever so slight lag to the pedal assist. However, it was very minor and less noticable that the two other major brand ebikes that I have used. My wife loves her bike and I considered purchasing the same one for myself. Being more of an avid cyclist, I decided to purchase the Prodigy XC. This bike has a mid drive motor made by the German manufacturer, Brose, and a torque sensor. With this setup you do miss out on a throttle, but you gain a completely natural cycling experience. Pedal assist happens immediately based on how hard you are pushing on the pedals. This is a similar feeling to riding with the wind at your back or downhill. Since the XC is more of a mountain bike setup, I was slightly concerned with range and rolling resistance during road touring. I shouldn't have been worried at all. The bike handles the road great and soaks up bumps and potholes with the larger tires and front suspension. I feel no extra rolling resistance at all and this bike is only about 20 percent slower on the road than my dedicated road bike. The first setting of pedal assist, eco mode, completely compensated for this and my average speed while touring remains about the same, but with a more comfortable ride. It also handles gravel and loose dirt like a champ. This is something that I cannot do on my road bike and this opens up more routes as I tour. Battery charging takes a while and is best done overnight. Even so, range is not an issue and I can get roughly double the stated range if using eco mode on fairly flat roads. 90-100 miles is possible if I really try to conserve battery power. Even riding with the assist off isn't a deal breaker since this bike is fairly light for an ebike of this style. Climbing is a bit more challenging with a bike weighing over 50lbs but using assist completely takes care of that hurdle, to the point of making it much easier than on an acoustic bike when you use higher levels of pedal assistance. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this bike and Ride1up products to anyone. PS. The chameleon gloss paint looks great as well!

Sorry, no reviews match your current selections
We love the bike! Amazing quality, fast delivery and what a fun bike to ride!
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I'm 5-5 and it fits I would say no shorter than 29in inseam.
The prodigy xc was exactly as expected. First the negative. I had to replace the seat. It is a hard seat. I wound up having to stand for much of the initial rides. As for the ride, I was very pleased withe the brose motor. I am amazed at how much torque it has. Climbing hills is not a challenge. The brakes are excellent on dirt or paths. Some of my rides cover 40-50 miles and I am happy to say that even if the battery gets exhausted, I can still ride just like a regular bike. Also, I really like the headlight. It is bright enough for my rides which for the most part begin in the dark. I know this bike has been discontinued. Too bad. I live in Tucson and will try climbing mount lemon when it gets a bit warmer. Probably in tour and sports mode. That ride will really test the battery and range. I can hardly wait

Rode this bike almost daily for over a year and loved it so much that we bought a second one for my wife!
This bike is a stand-out in terms of torque (90nm), battery/range (35+ miles), and top speed (28 mph).
If Ride1Up made a version with full-suspension and a drop-post, we’d buy that in a second!
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. XC fits perfectly for 5'8"
Amazing bike, feels natural, and adequetly powerful, but nothing to knock your socks off. Very high quality components and also look amazing.

Great bike! I’m very happy with it. It’s a lot of fun.
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. 6-3, XC, I was initially concerned it might not fit, but it is fine.
Love this bike! Handles everything I’ve thrown at it so far. It’s lighter than my other bike and fits me better for single track riding. Buy it if you’re thinking about it!!!
