Review in 5 words: Efficient, Simple, Quality; Buy it. That's all that needs be said, but I'll offer a lengthier review. This was the first electric bicycle I've bought, after some research, and it's probably one of the best things I've ever purchased. I got the Roadster V2. I have a technical background and I've worked as a bicycle assembly and repair technician. I also ride motorcycles, and currently own a higher end mountain bike, so I have good experience with two wheel cycles. I'm also picky. That said I've been totally impressed with the Roadster V2 from Ride1Up. Dealing with the company and Support for acquisition issues has been a pleasure too. There is a single weakness which really is a nitpick, which is the bike doesn't like rough road surfaces. That's understandable because it is designed with speed in mind and therefore has taller and thinner tires than my mountain bike, and also has no shock absorbers. This means the need to steer more carefully at times, as well as getting flats when speeding over bad pavement with those thin tires. I plan to try fitting the largest tire I can find which may help. That's really the only real weakness, while the strengths are almost too many too list. I'm very glad to own this machine!

My first ebike and loving it so far. I use this bike mainly for riding in the trail. I like the way the battery is so discreet and looks like a normal hybrid bike. I only turn the bike assist during incline otherwise it's off and use it on demand like when I get tired and just like to get home faster. I also convert my belt drive to 7 speed chain. Belt is good but I find 7 speed really useful especially when the bike is on assist and doing around 20 mph, it eliminates ghost pedaling. Also when incline is steep I don't have to use an aggressive assist, most of the time I can get away with assist level 2. I also get a lot of compliments on how it looks. I find the bike perfect to what I need it to be, an excellent exercise bike with on demand power when needed.

I just hit 650 miles and this bike is a trooper. As my mode of transportation living in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve put my 500 to the test in every weather condition, pulls through with flying colors. Worth every dollar and then some.

Bought the roadster a week ago and LOVE it so far. I was looking for a light bike since I’m gonna be doing a mix of biking and busing(max weight is 50lb on the rack). I have slight slopes around my housing and it accomplishes it with ease. I do wish I spent the extra money to get the gravel roadster for the throttle BUT you don’t need to petal much to get the assist started so I’m happy with what I got.The sleek design was also an attraction in purchasing. I get LOTS of compliments with how nice it looks and they seem to love the matte black coloring. Ebikes are high theft where I live so I didn’t want one too obvious looking. Most people don’t even know it’s electric till I tell them.The only minor issue I had with it was that it’s a tad too tall for me(I’m 5’5) about 1-2 inches BUT talked to Steven from ride1up customer support and he had GREAT suggestions to help me get comfortable with my bike and work around the hight issue. Also recommended me to some fenders(wanted to add some) and psi levels for my tires. I believe all their reps are actually riders of the Ride1Up bikes so it’s nice to know they have experience with the product.The customer service has been spot on and should be highly considered when buying this bike! They’re (especially Steven) have been helpful and knowledgeable about the bikes they sell.Which is also a bonus when purchasing an expensive item. It’s nice to know you are talking to genuine people that understand what you’re considers are.

***** See updated review belowUpon unboxing I was surprised at how much assembly was required. The E-bike Owners Manual is useless. Assembly of the headset was only a guess as there is no diagram of where, what or how the components are stacked up on the post. How hard could it be to just have a simple diagram of the assembly. It’s anybody’s guess, if you have some mechanical knowledge maybe figure it out but if not good luck. My derailer was bent and twisted. It took me about an hour to align the derailer so that it would work. Several test rides and adjustments later it seems to be working properly. It’s a shimano but definitely low end model. The front wheel shows quick release fasteners in the owners manual but the bike comes with just basic nuts to assemble the front wheel to the forks. The LCD display is very user friendly and reads very easy. The bike rides pretty well so far but I’m only talking one day of riding so far. It has great power and the pedal assist is impressive so far. The tires were slightly out of round but after some riding they seem to be better. Time will tell. Me: age 62, moderate active and enjoy bike riding. First ride Arizona desert*****After a week of riding on this bike, I have to say it's a winner. Very good ride and best out there for the money. For the record, this bike is legit and I am looking for some future rides with this bike performing like it was a $2500 ebike. Also, the company has been really good about followup on my review, they are truly concerned that I (one measly rider) was satisfied. No lip service here, great job guys

I got my 500 series a week. There was some delivery issues, but the Ride1up sales team was outstanding to help resolve the issue!!!

I am in love with this bike! I ride with a PEV group locally where most of the PEVs are eskates, EUCs, e dirt bikes etc which are all all too powerful. I am able to keep up with them in my Ride1Up bike including on super hilly routes. Everyone in my group is impressed with my bike. I will recommend this bike to anyone, casual riders or riders with a mission. I get over 30 miles per charge with highest level assist and full pedaling. The funny thing I got the Core-5 which is the least powerful and the cheapest. I can't imagine how awesome the other models are! Money well spent!

As a shorter person that's always had a tough time riding taller/bigger bikes, it's been great to ride the Ride1up 500 Standard. The step through is nice and the transitions are very smooth!

Presently, I do not own a Ride1up ebike. However, I was an Aventon 500 owner until I tried my friend's Ride1up 500 series standard model. Seeing how smooth it was between the different PAS levels, I decided to sell my Aventon so that I can save up and get the Ride1up model. I've tried other ebikes and none came close to Ride1up's technology for maintaining that perfect balance between my pedalling (the energy I exert) and the power of the pedal assist from the ebike. In other words, other ebikes like Aventon 500 have so much pedal assist that it doesn't feel like a bike because you don't even have to exert much effort.

Great bike with BELT DRIVE. Can't find anything this well built with GATES Belt Drive at this price! Doesn't come with a kickstand so keep that in mind. Otherwise a GREAT bike. Quick assembly (you don't need to take it to a bike shop) and sturdy packaging.

After doing some thorough research about ebikes, i decided to go with Ride1up, and I'm glad I did, my initial purchase was 500 series, which I was so satisfied with, I bought another 700 series and another 500 series. The design, engineering, quality and performance are beyond words. Especially when your Dissecting Zion national Park and riding over and over from Red Canyon to to the rim of Bryce Canyon. Life is a VIE MAX experience when combined outstanding ebikes like Ride1up with breathtaking geographical locations. I referred multiple friends and colleagues to be a part of Ride1up CommunityGreat Job! Keep up the good workbtw all three bikes were delivered in 2 days and were extremely easy to assemble

Life-changing!I’ve had my ride 1 up just over a year. Great quality, great ride, it allows you to enjoy bike riding much more Easily go 30 miles in an afternoon and think anything of it. The motor allows you to smooth out those uphill‘s and allow you to go farther and longer. Great customer service great bike. Highly recommend Ride 1up

I’ve always wanted a E-Bike. You can take them anywhere and save so much time with less effort. I did plenty of research and wanted to make sure I was making the right choice. Ride1up had the bike for me! I went with their 500 series and I love my decision. I recommend this bike to any one in the market for one. Fantastic quality even after using it for 2 years! Spectacular craftsmanship in handle bars, frame and wiring… even the box design it was shipped in was given creative detail. Great price, payment plan and battery life. I go everywhere on my bike. I even commute to work on it! Customer service is also outstanding and resolves any question in a timely manner. This company takes care of you. Wish they had a store in Texas! My entire family loves my bike and I even convinced my Twin to buy the LMT’D. Hopefully one day all my family member will own a Ride1up bike!

I purchased the Ride1up limited model this past spring. Even though it was still cold when I received the bike I couldn’t wait to test it out. Being that this was my first ebike, my expectations were high. This bike exceeded everything I thought it would be. Even though the shipping was delayed, I was always kept up to date on the ETA. Assembly was straightforward. Definitely would purchase another bike from Ride1up.

I've been wanting to get an ebike for quite a while but was not looking to spend a crazy amount of money. Finally settled on a 500 series for the wife and I to take our 2 1/2 year old son around on with us. We got a ride shotgun style center seat for him. He absolutely loves it. This bike pulls with no issues at all. Instant smiles from everyone we let try it. Exceeded expectations, highly recommend.

I got the 700 Series step through for mi lady. I find It's a blast to ride, but it's even more enjoyable to see the smile on her face as we whip through town bike paths. I have a few other ebikes from other companies and I can say that for the price point it certainly is priced lower than it should be. It's a stunningly good looking bike with quality infused within and gets a lot of compliments.

15:57 17 Nov 21

I have a Core5 and love it! I ride it to work almost every day and it just cruises. I have added a few racks and can pick up groceries or whatever. It's just a really solid and well-built bike. Highly recommend it!

I bought my Ride1up 700 commuter bike a little over a year ago and I love it. I have about 1700 miles on the bike now and still rides like new. I say about 1700 because I had a issue with the motor not sending the information to the controller. The issue was resolved by the Ride1up service team without me missing any of my daily commutes. I love the tires on this bike. They give you the cushioned ride you would expect from a commuter bike and they are wearing very well. The lights are a plus this time of year when daylight is short.I can’t say enough about this bike and the service that Ride1up gives you.Thanks,Andy HaaslGreen Bay

High quality material allows you to take on hills even if your up to 300lbs which helps makes one who wouldn't normally bike get out and start working out! How lightweight the bike itself is amazing makes it easy for public transit and has a stealth look that looks nice but not too much which makes it less likely to be stolen, I love it!

Buying and riding our Ride1Up bikes has changed our lives. The powerful 700 series bike is perfect for riding the hilly streets of Fayetteville, AR. Since purchasing our e-bikes we have seen numerous National and State parks and more than 30 cities from our Ride1Up bikes! Thanks foe improving the quality of our lives. Sincerely, Melanie and Kim Norman.

I bought this for my wife, who is a painfully slow rider. She used to be so slow that it was nearly impossible for us to take an enjoyable ride together. Now she is easily able to keep up with me and we can enjoy entire afternoons out riding together.

Love my Ride1Up 700 XR with over 3300 miles and still going strong! So hooked on ebiking and the great price point for hydraulic brakes, hydraulic strut, quality parts and super long lasting tires that I’m looking forward to Denver winter daily work commute this year!

I love my Ride 1up 500 series. Over 600 miles on it and not one problem. This bike allows me to travel farther and spend more time exploring my city while getting exercise - or just cruising. The point is, I have the choice! The wind picks up… no problem. Going uphill? Not a problem.

I did 2 months of research on which electric bike to get, I am so happy with my Ride 1 UP 500 ST. It has an adjustable stem and swept back handlebars which allows me to be an upright position and has just enough pedal assist to allow me to get a workout but keep up with my husband on his non electric bike on rides of 10 to 30 miles with hills. My husband was able to put it together within a couple hours with ease. I am 5' 2" and it is a larger frame, but with the step through option it is fine for me to ride.

Megan Wong

00:49 16 Nov 21

I love my Ride1up 500 standard ebike (I'm 5 ft 2 in and it works great)! Initially I purchased an Aventon 250 step through and long story short ended up returning the bike. I was so glad when a friend of mine told me about Ride1Up because I ended up getting more bang for my buck - - > higher powered bike, came with front and back fender and rear rack AND SHICK ABSORBTION/SUSPENSION for a lower cost. Also, I found that the Aventon had an initial jolt when peddle assist would come on. However with Ride1Up I love the "me peddling but better" feeling that is very gradual and smooth addition of electric acceleration from the motor. I have a lot of fun on this bike!Loved getting a free beanie in my packaging as well & great customer support!

I love my bike from ride1up! It’s such a smooth and quiet ride. The quality is amazing and all their bikes are beautiful. It was difficult to decide which bike to purchase. They are all so well designed that I have a hard time not picking up another one. If you are looking for an ebike or looking for a bike that could allow you to reach roads/trials you didn’t think possible, check out ride1up!

I love my Ride1Up 700 series for the WHOLE MONTH i had it! If anything, it could use slightly higher grade braking components, as I had a malfunction within that month. .... and then it was stolen :{BUT!! The Ride1Up support team helped me to track it down and I actually found my bike after it was stolen!

Ricky Gunvaldsen

17:59 15 Nov 21

Great bike lots of value for the price. The 700 is a complete bike with everything you need besides a helmet. Awesome power, speed and range. No regrets with the buy. Takes a little bit to put together but once your complete its such an great bike.

Chris Brown

Love my Core5! I wanted this bike for my 9-mile (each way) commute which includes some steep hills. The Core5 handles it, no problem! Assembly was easy (about 45 minutes) and the instructional videos were clear.

Christian B

16:28 15 Nov 21

Bought a Ride1Up 700 series ebike after doing extensive research to find the right fit for me. Absolutely love the thing for commuting, running errands, or going on long rides to clear my head.A few of my favorite aspects: comfortable seat and handlebars, easy to use thumb throttle, regenerative braking, and durable tiresMy only minor complaints are that the assembly instructions could be better (Youtube videos are much better to follow) and the fender on the front tire can be a little finnicky to stay in place while not touching the tire.But overall, really pleased with the product and responsiveness of their help staff when I had to add panniers to my order.

I’ve owned a Ride1Up Core-5 ebike for several months, and my experience with the bike has been terrific. I am 62 and not as energetic as I used to be, but this bike allows me to get plenty of exercise without worrying about getting too tired. I also love how the pedal assist works. The Core-5 feels well built, with quality components. Compared to other ebikes it’s also very lightweight. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Ride1Up bike to anyone who is on the fence about the decision to purchase one.

Brad Hodgson

I had my knee replaced and was no longer riding due to the pain. Ride1Up has changed all that as I can now rise 20 miles a day no problem. The 500 Series is an amazingly good quality bike for the price and the customer service is excellent. I highly recommend this bike and this company

Sam Dennis

03:25 15 Nov 21

Bought an LTD last spring so have been riding it for about 6 months.What I like:Power: Easy to go ~30mph on the road.Battery: Have done multiple rides of 25-30 miles with 2000-3000' of vertical elevation gain and get home with 25% charge or more.Responsiveness: Responds quickly to pedal input and also instantly to throttle.What could be improved:Assembly Instructions: Putting together the headset was not at all clear and took some trial and error and ultimately finding a video on YouTube.Accessory Lugs: These are located such that a normal size water bottle cage and normal size water bottle will not fit. Had to heat up and bend a water bottle cage and even then a water bottle barely jams in.Blue Text: Most of the text on the controller is white and easy to read but some key things (like power level) are in blue which is almost impossible to read in sunlight.Distance Reset: To reset your distance to zero before you ride you have to go 2 layers deep into the settings. This is something you do every ride so there should be a more convenient way.Overall I'm very happy with the bike and have recommended it to a number of friends.

Great bicycle. Initially thought 500w would be too small, but it turns out it's just about right for us. Well packaged and shipped reasonably fast given current circumstances. Comfortable to ride, the smooth shifting drivetrain makes the most of the available power, with easy pick up of pedal assist in all levels. Fit and finish is excellent and it's a good looking bike too. Ride1Up will be one of the first brands I will consider when I buy another ebike (and I will). Thanks for putting out a great product that's fun to use daily.

19:33 14 Nov 21

What a pleasant experience! They answered my many questions by email prior to purchase, the order went very smoothly, and the bike arrived in a timely fashion. Put it together myself, the instructions were excellent and things went well. The bike itself is a dream. Excellent battery life, a solid feeling bike. This is my first electric bike and a kick myself for not having purchased it sooner. I would highly recommend ride 1 up.

18:54 14 Nov 21

First of all this bike is amazing product.. I own The 500 Series.. i ride about 6 miles each way and I’d say I average 4/5 days a week. I moved from a really wet climate (Portland, OR) to a really dry climate (denver, CO) about a year ago, so that’s been an interesting transition.

I bought the Core 5 about1 year ago and I really enjoy riding it The bike is sleek, powerful and nimble and has helped me ride longer and farther than when I was younger. I have been commuting for years and just riding to and from work and not much else on my analog bike,The Core 5 made me actually love riding again and I take every opportunity I can to ride!

roadster v2 was an amazing addition to my life. the quality is just spectacular, the speed and feel is just top notch. after shopping around looking at different models and designs I chose well. battery is great, the bike moves and still allows you to pedal and get a workout in as well. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely love my Ride1Up Core-5. This is my 2nd ebike (1st from Ride1Up) and the Core-5 is hands down one of the best options out there for the price. The bike is well built and I get a lot of compliments on it. Small damage to the front brake rotor during shipping but the customer service team resolved the issue quickly. I would and have recommended Ride1Up to friends and family.

Philip Harris

I love my LMT’D electric bike. I actually want to ride my bike more, because it is more fun. These guys are great and so are the bikes. If you have any questions, they will work with you to address them. I also like that the prices are fair and you get a good quality bike.

I am completely satisfied with the purchase of our ride1up bikes! Our bikes were stolen off our motorhome on a trip out West last summer. We decided to buy ebikes after our trip, and after lots of research decided to buy your bikes for my wife, the LMT’D, and Core-5’s for our three daughters. Everything went perfectly, from ordering, to getting them shipped, assembling was easier than I expected, and they all ride as advertised, with no issues. We’re now looking forward to next Spring in Pennsylvania to get out on the trails!

If you are looking for the most affordable, economical, and highest quality ebike in the country this is the one. Any and all of these performance ebikes by Ride1UP will be a cherished addition to any family’s garage. Do your due diligence and research to see different packages based on battery distance and customizable additions. But mark my words you can’t go wrong with what ever model you choose!!

My wife and I both have ride 1 up 700st bikes. I have 1500 miles on mine and my wife has 500 miles on hers. We really enjoy riding on weekends to the beach, to restataurants and breweries. They have been reasonably trouble free. My adult children are always borrowing them. My son a recently commissioned naval oficer is stationed at coronado Island near san diego and is considering purchasing one of the ride 1 up bikes for his daily computing .The biggest difficulty is getting local bike shops to work on them. Overall great products, but could use some upgrades as standard equipment. My modifications that I have added to the bike that would be great if added to the stock bikes are, suspension seat post, adjustable stem riser, and a better lighting system that is more powerful, has multiple blinking modes, brake activated rear light and option to keep the display bright when the lights are on without having to reset that each time you turn on the lights.As I have mentioned multiple times, having a relationship for warranty and non warranty repair with a number of bike shops or mobile mechanics would be a huge upgrade!

I really love the model 700 I got from Ride1up. It really extends the places I am able to ride because I no long worry about having to climb up hills on my routes. At age 78, I really appreciate the throttle assistance available. I usually set my assistance level at 3 so I can get a decent workout, but having the extra power available from the throttle makes all the difference where, and for how long, I am able to ride. The bike has been very reliable and comfortable. It's one of the very best things I have purchased in my retirement.

Dope Ride, super clean, impressive black finish, I added a Brooks saddle, clipless pedals and some black reflective tape that you can see on the frame in some of the photos, Slick.Legend Bike shop added custom computer mount and the drop handlebars.Ride1Up Customer service and delivery were top notch. Would highly recommend.I commute 6 miles to work and back and charge up every other day. There is a learning curve to optimizing the battery assist. Level 3 maintains 18-20 MPH if I'm pedalling steady. Level 4-5 allow me to slow my cadence but maintain 19-22 MPH. I'm a regular road bike commuter and wanted something to ease the ride to and from work, which is mostly flat. On my geared bike I can maintain 20-24+MPH when I commute but I'm overheating when I arrive. The Roadster eliminates those concerns. Any questions, just ask. BSmartOriginal on IG. I'm in Providence RI if anyone wants to check it out for a test ride.

Ed Barzee

02:46 13 Nov 21

My 700 series is a blast to ride! Great for my morning commute. 5 different levels of pedal assist and an easy-to-use throttle if I get tired. Trigger gear shift makes it easy to change speeds. Very satisfied with my purchase

My Core 5 came in excellent condition as it was well packed. I've enjoyed riding it for the past 6 months without any issues! I can get up hills without even pedaling as the motor has a lot of power. I really love the bike and I would recommend it to anyone!

The Ride1up 700 series bike ticked all the right boxes for me: great looking, stable ride, great battery life, and quality components. Staff was helpful and responsive to answer questions. Overall, a very good experience- would purchase from Ride1up again!

I am the owner of 2 - 500 series ebikes from Ride1up. I purchased my first bike in July of 2020 and the second in August of 2020 (for my significant other).My first experience with ebikes was when I visited San Francisco a few years back. I rented an ebike and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge and through the surrounding areas. I knew from that experience that I wanted an ebike. At the time of my visit, ebikes were still quite expensive so I waited.It wasn't until I saw the bikes that R1up offered and the affordable price that they were charging that I decided to buy 1. I compared several ebike sellers and realized that the 500 had all the other sellers beat when it came to price and components/configurations of the bike.I bought the second 500 after using the first for a month and realizing it was a quality bike.I have had complete satisfaction with both bikes in the time we've had them. They were a snap to put together and the only maintenance I've had to perform is adjusting the brake cables and lubing the chain.I've used this bike more in the last year than my regular bike in the past 20 years. It's allowed me to travel distances I never would considered in the past and really helped keep me active (66 y.o.). My longest ride to date has been 45 miles, round trip...with battery power to spare.We have also enjoyed customizing them with racks, bells and mirrors.Bottom line: We've put several hundred miles on each and have enjoyed the heck out of them!Thanks Ride1up!!!

Excluding their web-based contact form which yielded slow responses, I'm not sure if I have ever had a more impressive customer service experience.If I called them on the phone and they were unable to pick up, someone called me back regardless of whether I left a message.Emails were answered within minutes.The bike is exactly what I expected it to be and yeah, delivery was slower than promised. But since the latter was so clearly a function of pandemic induced delays along the FedEx network, it may not even make sense to include that in a review of Ride1up.Oh, back to customer service: all the reps I spoke with (3ea) sounded not only like the professional, polite customer-service people they clearly were, but there was an easy-going intensity to their approach to resolving my questions that was striking enough to make me wonder why such interactions aren't more common.Bottom line: Thumb1Up for Ride1Up.

The best value eBike you can find! This bike has all the features I am looking for. This bike makes it easy to get on and off, has plenty of power for hills and the large tires make mud and gravel easy to ride on. Customer service has been helpful answering questions I have had.

Sean Marshall

18:39 12 Nov 21

My 500 series has given me the freedom to go where I want to go without asking for a ride. It possibly saved me from getting sick cuz previously I rode the bus but when the pandemic hit I changed and invested in my bike. Over 3500 miles on it and I’ve had to replace the battery charger for it. Brake pads a tire and some tubes and that’s all I’ve had to fix in my bike. Love this bike

Mollie “mdickler” Dickler

I absolutely love my Ride1Up bike! I have the series 500 step through and use it as my primary form or travel. It’s especially nice to be able to ride it around campus.

17:33 12 Nov 21

Great bike, very light weight and real road bike vibes. Most people had no idea it was electric. I'm able to get about 20-25 miles off a charge at medium speed. High speed is more like 15 miles. Hills are OK, but you have to stand and put it at full speed.

I absolutely love Ride1up bikes. I bought the 500 and my wife quickly decided that she wanted one as well. So now we have a 500 and a Roadster. We go on nightly rides and have had no complaints. We get lots of compliments and plan to buy more more Ride1up products in the future you can not beat this product for a similar price.

Received Ride1 Roadster V1 within a week of ordering. Arrived safely - assembly was easy. I love the bike.... discreet (to not attract theives) comfortable to ride. Well built! Love the single speed belt mechanism and I think it will be very reliable. Battery/range meets expectations.

Scotty Hicks

16:23 12 Nov 21

Absolutely love our Ride1up 500 Series. This thing moves! The build quality is excellent. We have a friend who just bought a well known brand e-bike for twice the price, but I like the Ride1up better!

I will never buy from another bike brand again! Best buying experience, shipping experience, and riding experience, obviously!

I bought the LMT’d one year ago and I had some misfortune from poor shipping (looking at you FedEx) and needed a new headset out of the gate.R1U support sent me a new headset and offered to cover the labor as well.I also had some electrical hiccups, but the patiently guided me through everything even when I wasn’t so patient.They will absolutely follow through with any warranty claims and ensure your bike is running smoothly.The bike itself is very well built from nice components, but I would recommend having it sent to a ebike shop for initial assembly (maybe ask R1U if they have a partner shop in your area).Special thanks to Ryan J. for staying on top of everything and getting it sorted. He made sure to reach out as soon as a part I needed came in on backorder.There are a ton of e bike companies out there, but I doubt many have the support R1U offers

I've had the bike (core-5) for only 2-3 months. When I received it there were a bunch of issues with the brakes and the front fork stays loose no matter how tight the bolts are.Recently, my thumb throttle broke despite having been careful with it. The customer support is telling me it's my fault and they don't even have the replacement part. They want me to order it from Amazon instead.Edit: After more messages with their support they have decided to send me a replacement for the throttle and we figured out most of the issues with the front fork so I'll up my rating to 3 stars.

I live in VT - I stopped riding my bike a few years ago because I just dreaded the hills so much (I’m 55). A friend of mine bought a ride1up bike a few months ago and was telling me how much she enjoyed it! I had to have one! I got my beautiful 700 last week and I totally love it! Just passed 100 miles today (after 5 rides!). It is a GAME CHANGER!!! Nothing to fear now folks! I am exploring all of the dirt roads in my town and the surrounding towns and it is a BLAST! No regrets and the customer service is excellent! If you’re on the fence hop off - I feel like a kid again! 💚💚💚

I bought the Core 5 about 6 months ago and I really enjoy riding it. the bike is powerful yet smooth, sleek and nimble. The customer service have been on point also.

Bob Donaldson

Bought a 700 in December and have loved it from the beginning! I live in the hills of Virginia and my bike hasn’t failed me. Even with all the hills and lots of throttle assist, I still get 35-40 miles off a charge. Bike handles well and has a great riding position. Have over 1200 miles ride every day. Just love it

Todd Freer

18:05 20 May 21

We have had a great experience with our investment with Ride1UP and our 2 700's. The product has great features relative its competitors products, the order process was painless, communication between ordering and shipping date was spot on, and the assembly was relatively easy for a first time e-bike owner. I would confidently recommend Ride1UP to friends and family.

Theresa Reese Spriggs

They really have good customer service, I liked that they got back to me within 24hrs and I received my bike in 6days

Travis Balmelli

16:24 14 May 21

The website... SOLID. The process from order to delivery... super fast and easy. The condition of the bike/box on delivery... exceptional. Directions and tools are provided (you will need your own tire pump) and assembly was way easier than I expected. I ordered the Roaster V2 as a replacement for my E-bike I got at a local shop that was stolen because it was one of the least expensive bikes and the best looking that I could find. Now that I have rode it... I would have paid $200-$300 more and still felt like I got a rock in’ deal. Ughh I couldn’t stop smiling yesterday. I live downtown Seattle and this is by far the best way to get around town and this bike is sexy AF. SO GET YOU ONE!!

George Trunk

17:40 07 May 21

after a long search for a nice ebike I landed on this site. what caught my eye was the price and the looks of the bike. after reading the description and looking at the components and the build of the bicycle I felt confident to place an order. ordering by phone was easy. bicycle was delivered promptly and although there was damage to the box the bike was perfectly fine inside. my son and I put it together in no time and afterwards writing it up and down the driveway I would have to say it was pretty much complete, no screeches no rattles no unwanted noises. I actually bought this bike for my girlfriend and she loves it.

This is the girlfriend speaking now. I do enjoy riding the Ebike. I especially like being outdoors and using the bike for the sole purpose of exercise. unfortunately, I am out of shape but I still have a good workout riding it and it allows me to be able to tackle the larger hills. getting back into shape is all about consistency. and the ebike allows you to work hard and have a great time doing it.

Ride1UP Roadster V2: I've purchased this bicycle because I was looking for a quality electric road bike at an affordable price. Another reason was for its mechanical simplicity in design. After about a week from open box, self assessment of the bike's mechanical, and waiting on parts. I've completed my Roadster V2 project and it is now equipped with a drop handlebar making it a true Roadster (YouTube: Ride1UP Roadster V2 Update + Drop Handlebar). Again, made possible due to the price and components simplicity. Thank you Ride1UP Team for creating this awesome road ebike!

Recently “test rode” a Limited Bike this past weekend. Coworker had bought it and thought my mom, whose been having a hard time riding a regular cruiser, would benefit from an ebike. The “ONE” test ride ended up turning into my parents, my husband, and I ALL BUYING Ride1Up bikes. We bought three 500 series and one Limited! We are IN LOVE with these bikes. Can’t wait for the other ones to be delivered!

Also, my husband was able to put together my 500 with minimal issues. We had a minor problem with the front brake rubbing…but after some minor adjustments, we were able to fix the issue!!!

I received my Roadster V2 and my 12 year old granddaughter and I unpackaged it and had it assembled in 30 minutes. I allowed her to tell me what to do next and then showed her the proper way to do it. Great experience for both of us. This bike is light and easy to ride and doesn't look like an e-bike. I had a 58 lb. electric bike before this for about a month and found it too much like a motorcycle. I'm off to the bike shop this morning to have my build checked and verified as correct. Lots of fun!

Roadster V2 30-Day Review
Sorry for the essay here but this is mostly info I would’ve wanted prior to purchase. I’ve put 200+ miles on in just one month. That alone should tell you how much I like it - especially considering I live on an island that’s only 14 miles long! My main use for the bike is riding to/from the gym in the mornings (5.5 miles each way). It really makes riding a bit easier after squats to have that pedal assist! My other bike is a triathlon bike and I just got sick of feeling like I had to be in race mode riding around with aero bars and stuff. The Roadster still gives me a workout but it’s also nice to get places without breaking a sweat if I want to.
Speaking of workouts, I keep it at PA2 on my way to the gym and bump up to PA3 on my way home usually. I find the bike easy to ride without any assist and the PA5 setting seems like I’m spinning my wheels. At the PA2, I actually feel that I’m putting in similar work to my finely tuned carbon fiber tri bike when I’m geared in perfectly. However, as noted, I’m on an island and it is FLAT here. So I’m not working hills or anything very taxing on the motor.
My box was slightly damaged but nothing to the bike. I’m laughing at people concerned about paint scratches. I’ve already laid it down once because of some tricky sand on a sharp turn and nothing injured but my bar wrap and my own palm of my hand haha. I took the bike to my local bike shop after I put it together. They trued up the wheels, tightened the pedal cranks, and adjusted the brakes. Shop owner liked the look of it! Which is another hilarious thing I find: I bought a stealth e-bike but I can’t stop telling people it’s an e-bike haha.
Some stats: I’m 40 and a “Clydesdale” in triathlon parlance (i.e. 6’2 240) so the bike is working to haul me around. Of course I’m working to haul myself around too! But I haven’t felt that I’m too big for the bike at all. The fit is good. It doesn’t have nearly as aggressive geometry as my tri bike but it I definitely have it more aggressive than the beach cruisers I see around haha.
I switched out the handlebars to bullhorn style. It’s mostly ride comfort for me but I also think it looks way cooler! It was easy to do and anyone could manage that. I added a phone holster and water bottle cage. I have a u-lock (kryptonite) but I couldn’t find a satisfactory place to put the holster for it on the bike so I just carry it in my backpack when I go to the gym. Anyone find a good place for it? I didn’t want it blocking my water bottle.
Anyway, that’s my 30-day update. I’m really happy with it. It’s got me riding way more than I would’ve been and it’s just really fun to ride. I shopped for a while. Kept putting off the babymaker for 2 reasons: the name ugh, and the long ship times. Glad I found ride1up!

I purchased a LMD’T in March 2021. The shipping box was severely damaged by FED-EX and items were lost. Ride1UP was very responsive in expediting the crank arm, pedals, and other items lost by FED-EX.
I just love my LMD’T and highly recommend Ride1UP for their quality eBikes and especially their excellent after sales support Team.

I bought the 700 XR series and I couldn't be happier with it. That thing is ridiculously fast and the battery lasts longer than I do. I got it to ride the dirt roads around where I live and it does that excellently. I highly recommend getting one for yourself.

I dig Ride1Up’s whole approach and philosophy. Beautiful designs, affordable prices, high value, customer driven. And with a warehouse in Sparks, Nevada, might there be Burning Man connection? I compared a lot of bikes, and at my price point, nothing compares. My wife bought one, too.

Greg Mitchell

I’ve done a ton of research on ebikes for the better part of 2020, and came to the conclusion that Ride1Up is the best bang for your buck! On Dec 31, I pulled the trigger on my first ebike, this being a 500 model (black seat, grip combination). I received the bike approximately two weeks later. Installation was pretty much a breeze following the YouTube tutorial. I took it to a local bike shop to dial in the front brake and derailleur, as this was out of my expertise. I’ve since ridden just over 100 miles, and was so stoked, I purchased another 500 (tan seat, grip model) a month later. The order was placed on a Monday, and I received it Wednesday!! Just a two day turnaround!!😲

I mistakenly ordered two ebikes at the same time, probably a ‘click happy’ user error?🤔 Kevin and the Ride1Up team were quick to resolve the error and refund my money plus the CC charge expediently. This is a solid product, with great value, and a solid team at Ride1Up! I highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone! I can’t wait for the weather to be consistently better so as to expand my rides to the beach, mountains, and beyond!! Thank you Kevin and the Ride1Up team! Bravo! BTW, I got her up to 29.3 mph on flat ground! 👊🏽

#GetOne!🤙🏽

Best wishes,

I have done extensive research, and I have chosen to go with 2 of the Lmt'd bikes from Ride1UP for my wife and I. These will be our first e-bikes. Steven in customer support was a big help in narrowing my top 3 bike brands down to Ride1UP! I had lots of questions and he was super fast to respond. I am so looking forward to receiving these next week👍

My husband and I recently purchased our new Ride1up 700 Series bikes and we LOVE them! We have had ebikes before but these are the best we've riden. They are very comfortable and fit us perfectly. Dan is 5'11 and I am 5'4 so his XR and my ST are just right. They are fast, responsive, smooth and well designed. 2 day FedEx shipping to Maui for under $200 is very reasonable. Customer service has been professional and prompt. I love my Ride1up panniers, too. We highly recommend Ride1up!

What can I say about the Roadster V2? It is a whimsical, carefree magical bike! I own a more powerful fat tire bike but it is a beast to ride. The Roadster shines in the take me out and ride me now. It begs and pleads with you to go for a ride. If you buy this bike there is no doubt in my mind you will fall in love with it.
I waited a month and 50 miles to write this review and I am totally satisfied even having to change a flat on the rear with the belt drive and motor. It is time consuming but pretty straightforward. I also have lost PAS from the motor a couple of times but doesn't really seem to be an issue for me. This was the Ebike I have been waiting for and I am 60 years old and it makes me feel like when I was 14 years old riding my bike to every destination imaginable and loving every minute of it. Some might think that is worth a million dollars not one thousand 🤔

My husband and I have 2 Ride 1 Up 500s, one step through for me and a MTB for him.
We are campers and have loved using the bikes as transport around the campsites as well as the many trail rides at many of the parks and places we visit. Our black lab also loves to run the trails with us.
Quick trips to the store are much more fun on the bike then the truck and the pannier bags allow a large haul.
My husbands bike came with the spoke issue, our local REI made the repair and Ride 1 Up reimbursement us and was great about helping us. Both bikes were checked out by REI to include some adjustments and test ride. The test ride most of gone well as they reported loving the bikes and would not charge us for looking at eather bike.
My husband has over 1000 trouble free miles and I have just loved mine. The Step through is key for me as I am 5 foot 3 and needed to be able to step off the seat to the ground easily and it works great.
My husband and I have had the opportunity to ride other brands and we are very happy we went with the 500. We (he really) has ridden the bike hard and have only returned home with smiles and no complaints.
I recomend Ride 1 Up and at this point can't understand needing more motor or battery we can't seem to kill the battery or want any faster or quicker operation.
A great Bike.
Oh, when crossing at a light, how cool is it to zoom through the intersection with the throttle and not powering across in a made frenzy.

Recently bought a Ride1UP 700 XR and its great. Dealing with support has been amazing too (I was a bit of a pain before buying and they held my hand along the way). Happy to be a Ride1UP owner and have confidence in the company and their support team should anything ever come up. Would def. recommend them.

Mackenzie Fuentes

15:09 28 Jan 21

Ride1up is a great value for what you get I purchased a LMTD bike and I love it.I initially had some issues with the bike which I was able to resolve.The only thing I would like from Ride1up is that they have either a mobile service to help with customer issues or installs.I know rad power bikes does this because it is frustrating to deal with issues and no place to go other than a local bike shop which is a hit or miss.It can be a hit or miss because they may not know how to work on that particular type of electric bike like the manufacturer would. Other than that I'm happy with my purchase.

I recently bought a Ride1Up LMT'D and I must say I am more impressed than I expected! From my 1st contact with the company at 9ish in the evening (!) through the next day purchase, my experience was seamless and professional. I can rely on them to back up their product. It's their way of competing with direct to consumer outfits that want the profit without the commitment to follow up. They hold an honest interest in providing quality alternative transportation and fun. Keep prices low, sell quality stuff & provide responsive support. I'm in!
The bike? Aw, man, what a joy. I had my LBS assemble it (no problems she said), the packaging was undamaged (I'm relatively close to their warehouse in NV) and it was ready to ride. So I did, and sheesh what an experience! I researched for weeks and had ridden 2 other ebikes (Himiway and Rad) but found them either too unwieldy or underpowered for my purposes. I'm 81 with heart failure, live in a hilly area near the coast, and needed something I could get home on if my body crapped out on a ride to town or beyond. With this bike, I'm freed of any concern. Hills are actually fun now, with all the power the 750W hub provides so seamlessly thru the torque sensor. I pedal as I want and when I have to quit, I use the throttle to crest the hill. I've loved biking since I was a kid but had to mostly stop as age took its toll. Now? Oh brother, I'm back in the saddle! The torque sensing feels so natural. Love the hydraulic brakes which I'm used to on my mtb. Great tires.
The bike is solid. Everything works. It's lighter than most so even with my limitations I can shove it into my minivan and take off to ride somewhere interesting. Winter can't slow me now...

Sean Reynolds

18:31 10 Dec 20

Totally impressed. Bike is gorgeous, solid, well-built, easily assembled. The one problem we had was dealt with head-spinningly fast. Support was very quick to respond and the responses were immediately on-target and useful. I would recommend in a heartbeat.

I recommend the next size smaller than my 700 unless you want all the bells and whistles and comfort and if you want all that and go faster limited edition is the one. I really like the core five, I believe that would be the next one lower at least that I could ride. I recommend if you have problems getting on a bike almost every series they have has a step through series along with it. I recommend if you having trouble getting around on a bicycle not due to balance and delusion I highly suggest their step through versions. It will motivate you to ride and ride more. I would suggest getting one because they're not that difficult to put together. You already have all the bearing cups set and pressed and all you got to do is just not over tighten anything. I would suggest getting a torque wrench. I love my bike. I would suggest if you want to manipulate the settings like I wanted to tone mine down just a little bit go a little bit slower use less power to get this bike. Almost All the Ride 1 Up bikes allowed you to adjust settings. I think there's just one that has really small controller I wouldn't be surprised if you can adjust that too. They have set the bike up with relatively a step up from just good parts at about affordable and competitively priced as you can get. If you're looking for the best thing for your buck I would suggest ride one up. I'm sure there's something else I love about this bike I'm not thinking of about right now but I do absolutely love it. Thanks for ride one up team for making a bike that's so fun, exciting, motivating and affordable.

My wife and I recently purchased two Ride1up Limiteds and I have to tell you that the bikes are truly amazing! Firstly they’re super cool looking but also incredibly powerful, easy to maneuver, super stable, quiet, comfortable, but mostly a blast to ride and take trips longer than we were used to taking. That’s why we bought ebikes! We love biking but find ourselves cutting our rides short to make sure we have enough “gas in our tank” to make it home without being completely wiped out. With these bikes we go on 20+ mile rides and make it home with energy to spare because the motor is there to help especially when going up those daunting hills. Plus the rides are so much more enjoyable bcuz we can actually relax and enjoy the ride as opposed to being concerned about how far we can go without getting exhausted. The bikes are really high quality performance machines with all name brand components even Samsung brand batteries and they just make us smile when we’re riding them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking into ebikes. Why? Bcuz I’m a research nut and I don’t buy ANYTHING without doing exhaustive research and these bikes are hands down the best value amongst ALL ebike brands. Do your research and compare apples to apples (integrated design, well made powerful motors, long life quality batteries, torque sensors for a natural ride feel, hydraulic brakes just like a real motor bike, air suspension front fork, Shimano M370 derailleurs... even Schwalbe tires) and you’ll soon see for yourself. The next closest ebike with a fully integrated motor was $1000 more! So whether you’re looking for an ebike to commute or just to enjoy bike riding more than you ever thought possible these bikes are a great choice. They are without a doubt one of the best purchases we’ve ever made and we love them! Special thanks to Kevin, Ryan and Alex for their assistance with ordering. Happy riding! Christie and Paul Bronxville New York🥰

I bought the 700 series e-bike 2 months ago and I have been thrilled with it. I am 63 years old and I wanted a bike for long multi-day biking trips so I did a lot or research and Ride1UP turned out to be a great choice. Easy to work with, superior value, and great tech support. The bike is a pleasure to ride even without the pedal assist.

Received our second LMT’D this week, my wife and I both love riding them together. I had ordered a popular brand from a company based in Holland. However, during the wait for shipment, I continued to follow reviews and YouTube where I learned about Ride1Up. I continued to read reviews of the bike from the Holland company and got cold feet about dealing with potential issues 2,000 miles from the nearest store.

At that time the I canceled the other brand and placed my order for the LMT’d step through which had a 4 week wait. I was kept informed and the bike arrived just as promised. No issues with assembly and the bike worked so great that both my wife and I realized that rather than share - we needed to each have one. The next order was in stock and shipped within one day. Again, simple to assemble and now we are both happy Ride1Up riders. Very thankful, I switched to Ride1UP and recommend you consider them for any purchase.

The LMTD’D is most like riding a regular bide, you decide what level of help you want and can then use the gearing to ride like a regular bike (only faster). If needed a little boost from the throttle or a change in the PAS level. If you are looking for super fun bike for pleasure and exercise the torque sensor is the way to go!

Recently had an issue with the rear brakes on a new 700 series. Sounded like metal on metal grinding when braking.
Contacted Ride1UP and Alex from the Ride1Up team got back to me within a day or so.
He explained what the problem might be.
I took the bike back to the shop that assembled it, had a different type of pads put on and now we have silent braking.
And of course was reimbursed by Ride1Up for the new pads. Thanks Alex.

Just got my roadster v2 in black. I rediscovered the joy of riding a bike. I have had e-bikes before

- great looking and understated
- pedal assist fuss free
- light enough to ride without assist
- inexpensive compared to others
- single speed and belt drive.

Only con is riding position which is a bit forward like a road bike. But, that’s really trivial

Oh, and pretty responsive CS team. There were a few delays in getting it but I always got updates and replies when I reached out. In fact, at a point also got advice to stick to this over more expensive models when I was willing to spend more

I have friends who have purchased and raved about their ebikes. I researched for months and went with Ride1Up the 700 st and couldn't be happier. My friends who have different brands are pretty impressed as well .I find myself making extra trips now just so I can ride my bike there. So far I love it.

I did a lot of research and tried several types of e-bikes before this purchase. The 500 series bike from Ride1 UP is the perfect fit for my needs. You can't beat the quality and level of components for the price. The support from Ride1 UP has been awesome. I had had one minor issue during shipping and Ride1 UP resolved it right away. This bike lets me cruise down the road at 30 mph and play in the desert on single and double tracks... all in the same ride. I love this bike!

I've had the Ride1Up series 7 for around 6 months. It's been a reliable, easy, fun bike to ride. It's been around 55 years since I last rode a bike regularly. Even though at 70 years old and with some health issues, this bike has made it possible to ride again.

Rode some rental eBikes in Anchorage, Napa and elsewhere. I noted all the brands and had some favs... then, I did a LOT of research.
I ended up going with Ride1UP because you can't beat the value. Definitely the most bike for the price. Not to mention the styling / looks 🙂

During my hunt I found the reviews to be mixed, but I know from my own experience with 30 years in Marketing that you tend to hear opposite extremes. My most trusted and a few professional sources told me that all bikes need attention and a bit more with eBikes. When a few eBike fanatics saw the Ride1UP 700 Series, they told me I wouldn't be sorry - they were right.
My wife and I have a 700 XR and ST. Only a few hundred miles in the past 30 days and with winter in WI just around the corner that will slow down even more.

I'll bring them inside this winter and treat them like family - haha. Good riding, G

I have had the most pleasant experience working with Ride1Up !!! My service tech, Ryan, has been amazing!!! He has been prompt in his responses, professional and gone the extra mile to ensure I got exceptional service. The bonus is they have an incredible product in my 700 Series bike!!!

I purchased a 500 about a year ago and love it. Tons of speed. Battery lasts forever with my style of usage (i am light and like to pedal a reasonable amount). Needed some adjusting on the front brakes, but other than that i have not had any issues. About $300 less than my boyfriend's aventon pace 500, but I got front suspension that he didn't. ( he does have hydraluic brakes vs mechanical that I have). We switch bikes when he get low on battery, but i still haven't run mine under half charge with 30+ miles on some trips.

I own the 500, love the bike, and recently got the 17ah battery. Big fan!

18:49 03 Aug 20

I’ve only had my 700 for a short time,but it’s been great. It’s comfortable, smooth and boy, it can go really fast. I feel really safe riding it, and based on my age, 66, that’s really important. We had to wait a long time to get the bike, but definitely worth the wait!

Customer service was excellent. I have been bugging these guys relentlessly and they always cheerfully respond to my questions.

Speaking of which, can anyone recommend a front rack for these bikes?

Ride1UP is my first E-Bike experience, and it has been an excellent one. I purchased the 500 series. They shipped when they said they would even with covid going on. The bike itself seems to out-do the metrics they have listed on their website. This has made my daily commute to work, the store etc... so much better. I would highly highly recommend.

Dane Arnold Evans

02:40 23 Jul 20

I had a great experience with ride1
up, both the bike and customer service are second to none.
I got the 500 series and now it's my primary mode of transportation! Pedal assist helps me commute 15 miles to work and I love taking the trails rather than sitting in traffic.
very sturdy and still easy to maneuver. power transfer is steady and gradual so there is little chance of it coming out of context when accelerating. Fantastic value for a great commuter bike!
customer service is very responsive and helpful. can't recommend them enough!

Adam Collins

13:15 30 Jun 20

Had a great experience with them. All the staff were friendly and polite. The assisted us at every turn and answered every question we had. If we are ever in the market for another bike we will definitely use these guys again. We highly recommend them!!

Hands down some of the best customer service I have ever dealt with. My boyfriend and I both ordered 700s which were delivered in May. Assembly was easy enough, but my bike only worked for the initial test ride and was dead when I went to take it for our first planned trip. I e-mailed Ride1Up and they responded within the hour. Ride1Up expedited shipment of a replacement motor to my local bike shop (and then a controller when the new motor didn't fix the issue) and reimbursed me for the repair costs. Now that it is working again, we couldn't be happier with our purchase. The bikes are more fun to ride than either of us imagined 🤩

This is by far the most impressive support team I have ever encountered. With automated intrusive service teams, this was an absolute incredible experience I have ever had. I never leave reviews and this might be my first one ever. This was even before I received my bike. Once I do, it may be my second! Hat tipped service / support team. You deserved it!!!

I have had my 700 series bike now for about a month. LOVE IT! Worth every penny! I can tell you I did my research. I think I looked at every electric bike out there. Ride1up was the best one for the money. It didn't let me down.
I Live in Santee, Ca rode my bike to the beach 2x's. about 42 miles round trip for me. I pedaled some and used pedal assist. When I got home I still had a good amount of battery left. 40% one time and 25% the next. I went different routes each time.
If your on the fence about this bike, don't hesitate to buy it. I have no regret. It's fun, fun, fun!!!! Ok I'm off on another
adventure on my beautiful ride1up bike. yippie

Roger Cole

Bought a 500 for commuting to work (10 miles each way with 1500 feet of climbing). The 500 makes easy work of the hills and has more than enough battery power to make the trip without needing to be recharged at my office. My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner!

I received my 700ST this week. FedEx wouldn’t leave it without a signature and ID so I elected to reroute it and go pick it up locally instead of missing more delivery attempts.
The box was in decent enough shape. Upon unboxing everything was in perfect shape, and all hardware was easily located.
I took 3 evenings to assemble it after work. The YouTube assembly instructions were perfect for me and pretty easy to follow. I used to wrench on bikes as a kid so it was easy for me, but would be easy for anyone you views it.
Get a bike stand!!!!!! I ordered a cheap one based on the recommendation of another group member and he was right on with the stand working well.
Assembly went well and the test ride was amazing compared to the magnum premium I just sold.
That bike was also 500w but the 700 climbed the same hill at 18 mph that the magnum only managed to maintain 10mph🤷🏾‍♂️
Looks like my bike commute will go from 55 min to 35-40 min and I’m excited about that.
I test rode it again at night and the lights are quite bright so another unexpected plus here.
Only issue is the front wheel appears to be out of true but that’s easy enough to fix.
Thanks Kevin Dugger for what seems to be a homerun for me.
I can’t believe I spent 2 grand on the magnum 🤦🏽‍♂️

I've had the city500 bike for 6 months and put 500 enjoyable miles on it. Customer service has been top-notch and I'd rate it a solid 5 out of 5. I do recommend getting the upgraded digital display as it gives you a wider range of pedal-assist speeds.

What makes this board a great product has already been stated in all the previous positive reviews and is more than true.

I would like to brag on our customer experience with Ride1up. Their service after the sale.

We contacted Ride1up - knowing our situation was not a warranty issue - with in 2 emails they had offered a deep discount on a new board and advised us to keep the old one for spare parts.

If you want a great board with great customer service after the sale? You are in the right place.

The board arrived as scheduled. (Bamboo Classic) A bit of difficulty with purchase, but Chris Brake from sales was outstanding with answering all of my questions. Very polite, also well spoken. The best customer service experience I've had to date......the board you may wonder? A bit much for being non-experienced, (but a good thing.) Great acceleration and braking. As well as response. I think it will turn out to be a great experience.

Ride1Up provides excellent customer service. My bike came missing a part and after contacting them they had it to me the next day, no questions asked. They were polite, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Their products are high quality at a low price, and I highly recommend the 500 Series City to anyone looking for their first eBike.

I just received my bike last week and am very happy with my purchase. I looked around the internet and did quite a bit of investigating regarding the best bike for me. I could not justify the prices for most. Learned about Ride1Up, checked out past reviews, Youtube posts and could not find many negative comments. It seems to be of great quality, sturdy when riding and is pretty fast. I upgraded to the the LCD montior which added a few more PAS settings as well as MPH/KMH, range and backlight. Had a small glitch with the LCD settings which are kinda complicated. But I contacted them via email and immediately received directions to fix the problem. So far so good. Taking to Mammoth next week..

Jonathan W Kohn

I recently purchased a Ride1UP 500 Series City E-bike and am extremely pleased with the purchase. I opted for the optional LCD panel and rack with my purchase.

Prior to buying the bike, I found the support staff very responsive to my concerns and questions, often answering my emails well after closing time and on weekends. It was reassuring to know that there were real people behind the web site who were actively involved with customer’s needs.

The construction is very robust and at 62 lbs it certainly is not a light weight. But the weight of the bike and large tires adds more stability on both paved and hard packed surfaces. I particularly like the interaction of the gearing system, the 9 boost settings (standard control only has 3 settings), and the throttle, which was thumb controlled. I placed the LCD panel close to the thumb throttle which allowed me to use my thumb and index finger to control the boost easily and also page through the display options.

The combination of 9 setting and gear ratio selections allows me to get the level of exertion I want without feeling that I am just riding on an electric vehicle. Given the weight of the bike, there’s plenty of opportunity to get whatever level of exercise you want. Yet when things get tough there’s plenty of power to get you up any hill.

The throttle also has the advantage of providing a small boost when starting up from a standing position as when waiting for a light to change. This allows for a quick transition from the stationary position through the initial wobble on start up to peddling up to speed. I give the throttle just a slight tap once I’m on the bike. Given the torque of the motor, the rider has to learn just how much throttle is needed in this and other circumstances.

I found the battery capacity to be excellent. After a ride of 10-12 miles with one of two moderate climbs, I still had about 70% capacity remaining. The charge rate is more than adequate to bring the battery up to full capacity in 1 and 2 hours.

The overall finish of the bike is excellent. I like the upright riding position, wide handle bars, and the substantial leather wrapped hand grips.

Got the 500 Series City and couldn't be happier. Bike was easy enough to assemble (although I did have a mechanic check behind me and resolve a minor alignment issue). Support was helpful and communicative whenever I reached out.

Claire Kelly

Phenomenal quality and customer service! When I was debating what ebike to purchase I called Ride1Up’s support number and the owner, Kevin, picked up and talked me through the whole process. I’ve also had to contact customer support via the facebook page messenger and via email a few times and they’ve been extremely responsive and helpful!
As for the quality, I bought a Ride1up 500 Series MTB and I absolutely love it! I found myself without a car (or the funds for one) in a place that requires autonomous transport. I looked at a ton of different ebikes, from budget Amazon ones to slightly higher end bikes, and the conclusion was that this is the absolute best bang for your buck you can get. People with the funds get stuck in the slippery slope of “well if you’re already spending the money why not spend the extra $3-400+ on a higher end bicycle” but unless you’re a bicycle aficionado with very specific tastes (or long commutes,) let me tell you this bike will MORE than satisfy you. I am having way too much fun and everyone from friends and family to bicycle shop experts are impressed by its power and comfort. Cannot recommend them enough!

Great Bike - very happy with my purchase. I ordered the 500 MTB bike on Fri and received it the following Wed. I live in Illinois. The package was intact and the bike inside was well protected with plastic and foam packaging. The bike was easy to assemble and took about 30 minutes.

I have ridden it about 100 miles so far and when riding at a slower pace 13-15 mph, I was able to get over 50 miles on one battery charge.

The bike is fun to ride and coasts very well downhill with no noticeable drag from the hub motor. I bought the upgrade display and when in assist mode 9 and 7th gear, on flat ground I could get to 25 mph pedaling as fast as I could pedal (I am a 69 year old male). The brakes and shifters all work well and seem to be of good quality. The entire bike seems solid and well made. I definitely recommend this bike.

I purchased the 500 MTB about two months and absolutely LOVE this bike! I haven't touched any of my other bikes since. Aesthetically, the bike is a 5/5 (I got the darker color palette). The bike just looks fantastic. Functionality-wise, it's also a 5/5. I use it for commuting (about 22mi one way, 44mi round trip), for singletrack offroading up in the hills behind my house, and I even use it to tow my kid's bike trailer. The thing that surprised me the most was how practical an ebike like this is for towing a bike trailer with a kid in it. The torque of the electric motor makes it insanely easy to start from stop lights / stop signs and makes it effortless to sustain a decent speed with the trailer. My kid absolutely loves it. Lastly, customer-service-wise, also a 5/5. Kevin, the owner, responds quickly to queries at all times of day (Kevin, do you even sleep?).

Overall: 5/5. I've recommended this bike to everyone I know who bikes. LOVE IT.

I am very pleased with my purchase. If I were to rate the product on it's individual parts and features alone, it might not rate out as a "5." I might have given it a 4 as some of the hardware isn't top shelf. That said, if I wanted anything that was significantly better I'd have to pay double or maybe even triple.

I wanted the MTB rather than the cruiser for my 16 mile commute because I like to get slightly aggressive with my ride in order to get a pretty good workout. They were out of the MTB but Ride1Up offered a discount to cover the cost of an MTB bar. I also bought some dropdowns to go with it and now I have an amazing commuter.

I ride pretty hard when I commute so I was concerned I wouldn't get a big enough benefit from the pedal assist as I am able to sustain speeds of 17-18 mph fairly easily and 19-20 with good conditions or extra effort. I am also large-ish at 6'1" 220 and was afraid that would slow down my speed. I was thrilled to look down at my speed once I got up to what felt like a max cruising speed and see I was going 25mph! I even hit 30mph coming down an overpass. I was also happy that I still burned the same number of calories that I would have on my non-assisted bike because as I was pedaling just as hard.

Ultimately, the bike was able to do what I had hoped—reduce my commute time enough to make bike commuting an option every day, not just when I get up early enough to fit it in, now that I moved four miles further from work.

When summer hits, here in Phoenix, It will be great to use the throttle all the way home rather than pedal and have to take a shower again.

I am very happy with my purchase and believe there isn't a better value on the market when it comes to an E-bike.

Wow, what a great bike. It is a lot of fun to ride! If you haven't considered an electric bike...do so now. If you are considering it, look no further. These bikes are well built and the price is very nice too.

There are 4 main things I look for when dealing with a company: 1 - Great product, 2 - excellent customer service, 3 - Price, 4- locally owned...and they have them all covered here.

Thanks for the great bike!

I have the MTB500. The package on this bike is very good. It is a lot of fun to ride. You really need to get one. The battery distance is amazing and it charges without any problems. I get between 50 and 60 miles on a charge using pedal assist 1 and 2 on the stock computer. The little rubber stopper where the charger enters the battery compartment doesn't always shut properly but I use a piece of electrical tape to keep it shut to avoid moisture and dirt from entering. The computer works fine and I plan on getting the upgraded one to have more pedal assist options and added info for the ride. The pedals were quality but too small for me and I switched them out for the Electra Chopper pedals. At 20 dollars they are great for this bike. It comes with a nice Selle Royal seat but a bit too small for my liking and I switched it out for my Selle Royal Journey which I had on my Electra Moto. The kickstand is sturdy and does not interfere when riding. I did raise the handlebars more to my liking with an extension device. Be careful if you do this so the cables are not effected by being stretched too far. Again it is so much fun - just get one.
