Ride1UP 700 Series

You really get a lot for your money here. At this price, it’s a great deal for a fast, powerful, road-ready bike with all of the necessary commuting equipment. The small complaints I had were few and far between.

An absolute unit of a bicycle that’s so impressive it’s kind of made my car obsolete. It might sound pricey but is pretty reasonable for all the features you’re getting. I can take this bike off-road without having to worry.

A commute-ready e-bike with sturdy aluminum alloy fenders and a versatile rear rack. Great value, given the name-brand components. The bikes fit into a smaller box and require more assembly than a lot of the other models I’ve tested.

The Ride1UP 700 Series is priced higher than other models in the Ride1UP fleet. But you get a lot for the price increase; hydraulic brakes, larger battery, accessories. You’re unlikely to find a better value out there in a Class 3 e-bike.

The 700 Series is a lot of bike for the money. Being a petite rider, I can easily say my favorite feature of the bike is its step-thru frame. Assembling the bike took me about two hours.

The Ride1UP 700 series packs a ton of high quality components at a very budget friendly price. However, there is a cost associated with that discount… much assembly is required! A complete package with lights, fenders, and rack.

The wheels arrive fairly true and have stayed that way. The brakes and derailleur only needed minor adjustment. Some wobble in the trueness of the chainring. The matte finish tends to show marks. I have thrown the chain twice.

There’s only one extremely steep hill by my house that the bike will not make it up. Around 900 miles, the bike developed a click. In my opinion, the failure point was the bearings in the bottom bracket.

One thing that I really like, right off the bat guys, is throttle works in PAS zero as well as all the different PAS levels.

If you’re looking for an e-bike that is very smooth, cruising from human power to electric power, and long range, this is going to be the bike to check out.

This is my favorite e-bike that I’ve ridden so far. Top 5 things I really liked:

1. Value
2. Comfortable ride
3. Integrated battery
4. Stopping power
5. Out-of-the-box commuter e-bike: comes with a rear rack, integrated lights and what-not.

I’m getting close to 30 miles of range with this bike in most pedal assist levels, without getting much below 40% battery. It is a pretty heavy bike.

Some of those other bikes, like the Aventon, their pedal assist levels are predetermined. You cannot map them yourselves. I like the easier progression of power, so this was a huge selling point for me.

The 700 Series seems like a very solid bike in the first couple rides. Don’t think you’re going to get this out of the box and have it together in 45 minutes, unless you’re some type of professional.

Probably the most impressive part of this bike is the battery. I’ve got about 27 miles on it, mostly pedal-assist, some throttle-only (just a little bit).

If you ever need a little bit of extra boost, you can hit this little button and it just sort of goes, and so that’s kind of cool, and it just sort of adds electricity right there. It’s pretty cool.

Now, the thumb throttle is real handy. That’ll work even if you’re in pedal assist zero. It works anytime you give it throttle.

The seat is super-comfortable, nice big seat. I don’t need to wear funny pants. It’s pretty heavy but it’s very sturdy when you’re riding, even if you’re going really fast. The chain comes off a lot. I’d probably buy it again.

The bike is chock full of great components, attention to detail and a superb riding experience. There’s so much to love here that if it wasn’t for the cadence sensor, I’d feel like I was riding a much more expensive bike.

The Ride1UP e-bike changes the game, bringing components that would normally command a much higher price point. It boasts a 750-watt geared hub motor that strikes an impressive balance between power and range.
