The installation was moderate to difficult in aligning the brakes. I do have a wobble in my back tire. This was corrected with spoke adjustment. I've had experience with such adjustments even if a tuning fork may not be a conventional method. Yet, I only needed the slightest adustments. When installing the motor on the wheel, I would suggest a QA checkpoint with the spin on one of those things that test the balance. Bike is beautifully designed for simplicity. The size large for a 6'2" guy is even larger than expected and may just be getting old at 60 but find pulling my leg over difficulty. I'd keep this size large as designed. I just never had a bike actually fit my limit. Good. The overall assist is very good. In rare cases, the engine won't engage on a slight incline. I'm trying to figure out this condition given rarity. I had three copenhaggen wheels with superb acceleration and braking with the motor and rate this bike alongside the performance.

Having ridden this bike for a month and hundreds of miles on and off road, and talking to customer service a couple times (they actually pick up the phone), I must say that this revv1 drt is an amazing value and a joy to ride! I’m dreading having to fix a flat one day, and only time will tell how she fares over the long haul, but so far no complaints!

I like this bike very much — in fact, I now own two of them. The motor is exceptionally quiet and delivers smooth, natural-feeling power. I typically cruise around 15–20 mph and now use the bike for many local trips where I previously would have taken a car, such as going to a coffee shop or doctor’s office. The combination of the mid-drive motor and Enviolo CVT creates a very responsive pedal-assist experience that feels intuitive rather than artificial. To smooth out the ride even more, I added a RedShift seat post to it which makes it even more comfortable to ride over longer distances. One feature I especially appreciate is the display information. It shows both how much power I’m contributing and how much the motor is contributing, which I find surprisingly insightful while riding. The estimated remaining battery range is also useful because it helps me decide which assist level I can comfortably use to complete a trip. The included cargo rack is another strong point. It feels sturdy and well integrated into the bike, and I regularly use it to secure a small backpack for errands and daily travel. There are a few quirks, though. The integrated bike light cannot actually be turned off, even though the display has what appears to be a light-control button. Also, if the bike is powered off and then plugged in to charge, the light comes back on automatically, which means I often have to manually shut the bike down again afterward. The rubber cover over the charging receptacle is also somewhat awkward to close properly, and I frequently find myself leaving it partially open. Overall, though, the riding experience, smooth power delivery, quiet motor, and practical utility far outweigh those annoyances. It’s a bike I genuinely enjoy riding and use often enough that I ended up buying a second one.

Great communication. The Vorsa ebike is as advertised. Rides quite well on gravel roads. I have the touring seat package with the suspension seat post and it makes a big difference. I also have the large basket on the rear rack and is very handy. The bike is very stable when going slow or fast. So far I would recommend it for anyone wanting a versatile bike that does most things well.

Ride1Up needs to provide better introduction videos to e-biking in general and their bike models in particular. Once I went to YouTube to watch other people's clips on using the Prodigy V2 and shifting a mid-drive bike, etc., the bike was exponentially more enjoyable. I now consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made. I get some much non-draining exercise and have traveled over so much of my Maine countryside. It's a terrific, high-quality bike. The battery compartment cover is a bit of a headache but, for the most part, the Prodigy is practically perfect.

Like everyone else here, I researched just about every bike there is. The look, customer reviews, and the hope for excellent customer service convinced me to pull the trigger. I’m really glad I did, because it’s great. The DRT is amazing off-road and they got the suspension perfect. I had one question while I was assembling it, and and when I called, a guy in California picked up on the first ring and talked me through it. To me, that’s worth everything. I’ve put about 80 miles on it in the past couple weeks, with about half of that being off-road on some pretty rutted out trails and a bit of mud. It really has been great and I’m really glad I made this choice.

The whole experience has been great from the ordering to shipping to receiving my new bike. I absolutely love my vorsa.! I think it is a very well made bike and a great value.

Was able to visit Roland Perry in Granite Bay for a local test ride. Excellent experience all round. Rolands knowledge of a number of R1U models was invaluable in helping me make a decision. The Vorsa Lite met all my expectations and is value for money. This bike has everything I need plus a few accessories. Perfect in every way, weight, power, battery quality, smooth riding and much more. Local support drew me in.
