This is my second bike from Ride1up in less than a year. I know that sounds bad as an opening sentence but it’s quite the opposite. I bought the roadster V3 last year as my first E bike and could not have been happier. I love that bike and everything about it. When the Portolas went on sale recently, I realized that I liked the idea of having a second bike geared towards strictly commuting, and the occasional fun ride on a dirt trail. I will say that the geometry of the bike was not something I was used to and all the reviews I saw said that it might feel awkward for taller riders. I’m 6 feet tall and I do feel quite comfortable on it. It’s a zippy little ride, great looking, and light enough, that I can maneuver it wherever I want when it’s folded up. The only thing will say is the steering has take a little getting used to since I’m coming from years of riding tradition styled bikes. Also love the the fact that all the bikes come with a good set of tools for setting up the bike, a nice beanie and also, all the videos on YouTube are great.

I have had a great experience love the bike

I am very impressed with my Roadster V3. It is exactly what I was looking for in an Ebike. I like that it does not look like an Ebike. I had a fat tire Ebike and did not like dealing with the weight of the bike and the confusion of wires around the handlebars. I always ended up riding my analog bike, but I often needed some extra oomph. My Roadster V3 weighs half as much and pedals very easily. In fact I pedal most of the time and add the motor when necessary. The torque sensor is very smooth easing in the motor. This bike is high quality and is an excellent value. I am also impressed with the Ride 1UP support. My bike arrived with a bent derailleur bracket. They returned my email very quickly and immediately sent me a new bracket. Support service also reimbursed be for the installation cost at a local bike shop. I have no regrets on my purchase.

I love this bike. Great mileage comfort, power and great for commuting to work and back. I like 8 miles away! And get 3 rides there and back before a charge

I am in my 70’s (old fart) and took my time researching e-bikes as I wanted one that was lightweight, easy to use (understand and utilizing the torque assist) and enjoyable. Price was a Big objective, as well. Clearly, Ride1Up met all my criteria. Not only that, it’s meeting and “exceeding” all I ever wanted.

Order the Roadster V3 was easy. Delivery was fast. Assembly was easy. The quality of the ebike seems really good.

This is my first eBike and will probably last me for as long as I plan to ride. I love this bike! It is easy to use, has plenty of speed and looks great while not shouting "I am an eBike". It allows me to keep enjoying getting out on a ride with friends.

I am a male rider at 6’1”/225 lbs having purchased the large frame Roadster V3 with chain and front suspension a few weeks ago. I have ridden the bike almost every day between 15 and 30 miles per ride. I am very pleased with the bike, the exercise and Ride1up as a company. Stealth Factor The bike looks and feels like a non-electric bike, which seems to get more waves from runners and bikers than I do riding bulkier e-bikes. It fits nicely in any public bike rack I have used and doesn’t stand out as an electric bike. Power I live in an area with many hills and varying road surfaces including paved, gravel and some light single-track paths. I typically ride in eco mode but enjoy higher modes when ascending steep hills or riding into strong winds. I can reach advertised top speeds in each class setting. The highest gear is perfect for top speeds; never experiencing ghost pedaling. The battery, surprisingly, lasts as long as I physically can while averaging speeds between 13-20 mph. Weight The bike exceeded my expectations with its ~40lbs weight, nimble handling and adjustable seat and stem ride positions. The bike responds very well to power from pedaling because of its light weight and geometry. It is also easy to lift onto a hitch mounted bike carrier or articulate in tight spaces lifting one or two wheels off the ground. Adjustments During the first week of riding, the rear spokes developed a kind of creaking noise which I assumed was due to stretching spokes with my higher weight. I adjusted spoke tension over a couple of rides and the noise is gone. I also had to smooth out shifting by tweaking the barrel adjustor – out of box high and low settings were fine. Lastly, I added a different saddle and suspension seatpost. All adjustments above are typical for me with new bikes.
