I'm really loving the Roadster V2! It's well built and easy to ride. I do wish it had a bit more power to tackle the steep hills in my area. For the price though, it's perfect!

Superb bike, I'm very pleased. If you know who this bike is built for, you will be happy with it. It's more of a traditional bicycle, meant to be ridden like a bicycle. The assistance from the motor/pedal assist is secondary. I bought the bike primarily as an exercise bike, but I do like the pedal-assist when I need it. I generally ride the bike in pedal assist 1, to eliminate the motor drag, and that makes the bike feel like a (very fast) traditional bicycle. I love the look of the bike, it's a beautiful design, and most people can't tell that it's an ebike. I also really love the tiny speedometer/computer, which also helps add to the stealth element of the bike. When I feel lazy or want to spoil myself, I will ride in pedal assist 2, which easily maintains 18mph. (I weigh 200 lbs.) I am 5'10" (30-inch inseam) and I got the large frame. If you are any shorter than this, you should go for the small frame. I raised the seat post about 2" for maximum pedal stroke, and with that, I have to lean the bike when I stop for one of my feet to reach the ground. This is a rigid-frame bike, so be aware of that. If you're used to riding mountain bikes, or hybrid bikes, this bike has no suspension, and it rides like a road bike; it's very rough. I plan on getting a suspension seat post to make the ride more comfortable. I wish the bike came with a kickstand, but I was able to buy a kickstand from Amazon that fit the bike with little hassle.

Just commuted for the first time with my Roadster V2. - The bike was easy to assemble; - Very good quality bike for the money; - Was really fun/responsive and smooth to ride; - Packaging was A+ ; - Will recommend ride1up bikes to everyone I know; The support was also really responsive and they responded to all my questions/concerns before completing the purchase.

I am very happy with my roadster. I did some upgrades to make it my own. I will say I had a few small issues at the start. I immediately contacted customer service and the part was promptly sent to me. Ran into another issue and again customer service did an outstanding job and got me another part quickly. I couldn't ask for better after the sale service . It's a nice bike too. Once I got it all dialed in the way I like it I want to ride all the time. I highly recommend and at the price it's a great value with quality parts.

It is my 3rd ebike, after 2 days and 38 miles it's exactly what I was expected. I did 16 miles this morning and used only 2 bars from my battery load. I was mainly in 1 and 2 PAS, around 16mph average, I installed a folding handlebar for storage purpose, very close to the original one for the sizes. Why not 5 stars: The paint is not strong, low quality and the display could have daily trips and easy resets. I am happy with it, fast bike (no tricky unlock from the 20mph as usual). Good range: PAS1 is working well in flat area, if you want to go far. However PAS3 seems to be a nice fast setting, you feel the push from the motor. I do recommend this bike at 795$ (especially with 2 frame sizes available). Black looks nice but too expensive !

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He commutes to work each day, about 13 miles round trip. He loves this bike so much! He did have 2 pinch flats very early on, and we learned that because the tires are very narrow you have to air it up pretty much daily. Otherwise it is perfect. Thanks for putting the red color on sale too. It’s beautiful.
