FAQ'S

minus plus
What are key differences between the Roadster v2 and the Roadster v3? minus plus

The key differences between the Roadster V3 and Roadster V2 center around enhanced performance, improved technology, and premium components in the v3.

The Roadster V3 features a more powerful and more quiet 500W angled-gear hub motor (versus the V2’s 350W motor), a superior Intui-Drive torque sensor system refined with the motor and controller for smoother and more responsive pedal-assist (versus the V2’s cadence sensor), Tektro hydraulic brakes (versus pivot rim or mechanical disc brakes) and in addition to the a Dayco Power Carbon belt drive. The chain version features the microShift SL-M819, a premium gear set renowned for its durability and reliability across diverse riding conditions.

Moreover, the V3 comes with high-end features like an integrated, lockable and removable Samsung cell battery, Addix compound, Super Race carcass construction Schwalbe G-One RS tires or Pirelli Cinturato tires, and the advanced Velofox vivid-color display, offering a premium and luxury riding experience at an affordable cost.

What is the benefit of the Intui-Drive sensor system? minus plus

The Intui-Drive torque sensor system offers several benefits that enhance your riding experience:
1. Smooth Power Delivery: It provides seamless, immediate power response based on your pedaling force, ensuring a smooth, natural ride feel.
2. Enhanced Efficiency: Unlike traditional cadence sensors, the Intui-Drive system maximizes battery efficiency by adjusting power output precisely to your pedaling effort.
3. Improved Ride Control: It offers better control over acceleration and deceleration, making your ride more intuitive and responsive.
4. Minimal Maintenance: The contactless sensor design reduces wear and tear, leading to lower maintenance requirements.
These features blended into to the Roadster v3 offer a premium riding experience at an affordable cost. Learn more about Intui-Drive.

What top speed can I expect on the Roadster v3? minus plus

The Roadster V3 is designed to reach up to 28 mph with pedal assist. Unlike ebikes with cadence sensors that provide consistent motor assistance regardless of effort, maintaining higher speeds like 28 mph on the Roadster v3 requires maximum effort and torque applied from the rider. With an Intui-Drive torque sensor system, it responds dynamically to how much force you apply to the pedals, offering a smoother, more natural ride.

Achieving and maintaining peak speeds will require less pedaling effort on flat terrain, but hilly areas or fatigue may affect top speed compared to cadence-based systems. Riders will find the torque sensor makes the bike feel more responsive, intuitive, and engaging – especially at moderate speeds.

Can I test ride a bike? minus plus

We are a direct-to-consumer company both in pricing and strategy. You will generally pay a premium for the ability to test ride through a dealer. 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.

What can I expect ordering a bike from Ride1Up? minus plus

This article will explain all about what to expect when ordering a bike from us. Ordering With Us.

Can I switch the handlebars to another model? minus plus

No. The variations you see on the site are the only options we have.

Can you ship to _______? minus plus

We only ship within the US and Canada. The contiguous United States is FREE. Shipping to Canada is $400. Currently, not shipping to Hawaii. We are not responsible for any additional tariffs charged by your local government which often times applied after importing ebikes. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship our electric bikes directly to Europe or Alaska at this time. You can use a shipping forwarder like ShopUsa.com to reach your country.

Are the bikes water-proof? minus plus

The bikes are not water-proof, they are water-resistant. 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 low pressure exposure to water. Do not submerge in water or expose to pressurized air or water. Storing your ebike in the elements could shorten the lifespan of the electric bike.

What tires will come on my bike? minus plus

Due to supply chain constraints from our component manufacturers, Ride1Up may substitute certain components in rare instances such as tires. We meticulously select replacement components that provided similar, if not better quality and value, than the originally listed components. Our current production includes a mix of Schwalber G-One RS and Pirelli Cinturato gravel tires, which are both high quality and listed in our component section above.

I have been riding e-bikes for the last 15 years and have owned a number including higher-end brands such as Specialized and Bulls. The Roadster V3 is in a class of its own. I recently purchased the low step with front suspension and adjustable stem. Added the suspension seat post and a comfortable saddle and this bike rides like you are floating on air!! Also swapped out the gravel tires it came with for a smoother (asphalt oriented) Schwalbe Marathon Plus. For e-bikes, it's all about the weight and the Roadster V3 is one of the lightest e-bikes currently on the market. The fit and finish are perfect. When you triangulate between weight, price and features, its is hard to beat.

I’ve been riding the Ride1Up Roadster V3 for a while now, and it has completely changed my perspective on what a lightweight e-bike can do. If you’re looking for a bike that feels like a "real" bicycle but has the heart of a marathon runner, this is it. The "90-Mile" Club The biggest surprise for me has been the range. While the base bike is already efficient, I added the extended battery bottle, and the results have been incredible. I’m consistently getting almost 90 miles of range on a single charge. Because I’m a lighter rider (about 148 lbs) and I enjoy actually pedaling, the "Intui-Drive" torque sensor works wonders. It doesn't just dump power; it mimics my effort. When I keep it in the lower assist levels, the bike just sips battery. I can go for weekend-long adventures without even looking at the battery indicator.

Bike seems ok. Really hard to reach top speed. If you want to go 28 you’re gonna have to be in great shape and pedal as hard as you can. I ride 12 miles a day and generally cruise around 26. If the weather is cold 24 and if the battery isn’t fully charged 23/24. The front headlight is pretty bad. It’s bright enough but you can only angle it so high because it bumps into the mount. So you basically aim it 1 foot in front of your tire. I ended up taking the bolt out and flipping the light. Though then it won’t tighten down correctly. It does catch I between the cables which works for now to hold it, but it’s definitely not ideal. You’ll need to find a light with similar specs if you want to cut and hardwire it in to use the normal light controls or just forgo that and just have to use a light separate. I’d upgrade pedals ASAP. My last medium bike fit me a little better as well. This one may run a bit larger than my Jamis for whatever reason? I do enjoy riding it. Though I bumped it down because these fixes seem very easy.

Absolutely love the bike and it's performance. Its a very clean and elegant bike, and I like the fact that it still feels like a regular bike. Its hard to tell that its an ebike to be honest! I get a lot of people turning heads and looking at it! I am here in San Francisco and even on super steep hills it still does well if you put in in a lower gear. Other then that, it handles everything else with else with the 500W motor. In my opinion, one of the best looking ebikes on the market for the money! I am very happy with the purchase so far!

Perfect exercise bike. I am getting old and this bike makes me feel like I have the energy and endurance of a 14 year old kid. I put over 250 miles on it the first two weeks and look forward to my exercise now. I have never had so much fun riding a bicycle.

    Roadster V3 (with Suspension)
    The Roadster V3 has quickly become my new favorite bike. Assembly was super easy—one of the simplest setups I’ve experienced with any bike. Everything was well-packaged, clearly thought out, and in my case, no adjustments were needed right out of the box. It was ready to ride immediately. Excellent quality control.

    The bike itself is really well made. It feels solid and thoughtfully designed. The ride is incredibly smooth and it’s impressively quiet—so quiet that you almost forget it’s an e-bike. Pedaling definitely feels more natural. I was a bit concerned about the small display especially after riding my wife’s Vorsa and seeing it’s much bigger screen but that was not the case. It has all of the essential info that is needed and is still plenty visible.

    One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to pedal even when the bike is turned off. If the battery were to die, it still rides close to a regular, non-e-bike (in a lower gear, maybe that is obvious).

    Sizing/Fit Notes:

    I am 5'9" and ordered the large frame. I can stratal the top bar with my feet flat on the ground.

    4.8 star. Excellent build quality for a $1400 Ebike. Easy assembly, comfortable ride, great value. The only con I found is the braze-on for the water bottle on the step thru model will not accommodate a bottle cage. I tried front and side entry cages with no success. Not enough room for a standard bike bottle. This is super frustrating to me. A bike without an accessible water bottle is just a pain. There are aftermarket work arounds but not nearly as good. I guess the braze on is only for spare battery maybe? Why not move it 2″ lower to allow for a proper water bottle.

      Hello, the bottle cage on the Low-step model should allow for a side mounting water battle to be used without obstruction. We can share an example photo if you can reach out to us here – https://ride1up.com/contact/
      Thank you for your review and feedback!

    The bike is good. I thought I could pedal to 28 mph. It’s winter so I’ll have to try again this spring. I Wish it had a derailleur guard.
