I gave this Portola a 3 Star rating and that is because of two things that bother me insanely. First is the ridiculous horn that comes with the bike. It is cheap and honestly something that should be on a kids starter bike. Second, is the No security for this high priced e-bike. The power button just shuts the bike off. If a thief was trying to steal the bike a key isn’t needed to turn on the bike to unlock it because the fact is the e-bike does not have have preventive issues or protection. Seriously? What a waste. Now, the good stuff. Compared to other e-bikes this Portola is solid. I love the badge that gives this Portola an exotic expensive feel minus the security detail. The paint job just screams care, detail, love. Riding the Portola is amazing. A hill climb at a 30 degree slope is nothing to the Portola. Carrying groceries in the Portola is a breeze not affecting power, stability, comfort, or ride feel. It’s just amazing. For those who want a good e-bike I definitely would recommend the Portola. For those that want an e-bike with great security assurance and a good horn that doesn’t sound so childish then a Portola isn’t a good idea. Unpacking this Portola, it’s light feel, its easy assembly, the maneuverability, the representation just gives its owner to be proud of ownership. I have owned three other e-bikes and this one just represents classy and showmanship.

The bike is really cool looking. The assembly for me was a breeze. The brakes were true, the shifting is smooth, and the controls are super easy. The ride and power is perfect. I rode on Eco mode and did 30 miles. The resd out shows 75% battery temaining. Wow. With the battery out I can move the bike around easily. So far I am very satisfied.

We love our new Vorsa's, the setup was easeful with the instructions and the video, and we are learning all the driving modes, and having fun trying all the features.

Shipping was ultra-quick. Packing was secure, Assembly was easy using Ride1Up’s video instructions. Front brake disc is not centered between brake pads and rubs slightly. There’s a bit of creaking or clicking in pedals when climbing hills. I really like how light weight the bike is. In a few weeks of riding, have yet to use pedal assist. Only the boost throttle, which surprisingly pulls my 210 lbs easily. I’ve looked, researched, and thought of an e-bike purchase for years. So glad that I waited and went along with the Roadster. Superior build for the $$’s!!

I've finally found the perfect Ebike. I'm 67 years old and own or have owned many ebikes. However enjoyable they were to ride, I didn't feel as though I was getting enough of a workout benefit with them. It was TOO easy. After a lot of research, I finally sprung for the CF Racer. Let me tell you I couldn't be happier. It rides and performs flawlessly. Also, I have no, ZERO range anxiety. I purchased the range extender and haven't even installed it yet, in fact, I haven't even had to charge the main battery yet. I've ridden 67 miles and still have 85% battery life left. The CF Racer is so smooth and fast that I barely need help from the motor. I just did a 25.5 mile ride and used assist 1 time to help my old butt up a steep and long hill. Do your homework. You can't find a bike this good, with it's impressive list of features for under $6000. Completely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.

I like the quality of the bike, feels secure as you ride, plenty of power for the type of riding I do with plenty of rolling roads with hills, I like that you can go into setting and set control unit to the type of settings you prefer, So far really enjoy it, I'm 71 years old and happy with everything

Well. I had difficulty connecting the controller cable to the battery cable . I tried with fingers and failed . Logged a ticket and then called customer support. The technician explained that it’s a common issue but that most people were able to connect after trying a second or third time by pushing much harder. I achieved a connection by using a set of needle nose pliers to grab both ends and much harder . I also loosened the container screws to allow more slack . Everything else was a no brainer for assembly . I have used the bike on mostly pavers surfaces albeit rough potholes and the 40cc tires have performed well. The only issue now after two weeks of use is that the derailleur will require adjusting as there is now a bit of an alignment issue with the last 3 larger cassette rings and the the smallest one as my chain has dropped off twice now while on rides. I have tried many settings for the rider assist and all have performed well. Can get at least 40 miles of battery on settings 1-3. Settings 4-5 do suck the battery a lot som glad I ordered the additional battery for my longer rides of 50-70 miles. But overall I’m pleased with the sleek design and the performance. Most people I meet on group rides can’t tell it’s an e-bike.

First of all, I put this bike together on my own. That creates a connection. Every day, I become more confident and proficient at navigating the city streets. What Ride1Up got right is the overall design. It is sleek. Most people are surprised it is electric. The brakes got me out of a collision, and I just kept on rolling.
