Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Ride1UP LMT'D v2. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- Ride1UP offers the LMT'D v2 in step-over (XT) and step-through (ST) frames.
- The LMT'D v2's range impresses reviewers. One 150lb tester covers 32.9 miles using max pedal assist.
- Experts enjoy the comfortable touchpoints, smooth ride, and nice upright riding position of both frames.
- Riders can switch between Class 2 and Class 3 top speeds, customize the power output of each PAS level, and adjust the total number of PAS levels (up to nine) via the display.
- Experts relish the motor's power and the responsive, natural pedal assist.
- The LMT'D v2 stops faster than the current commuter average of bikes tested by one review publication.
- The steady yet vigorous acceleration when using the throttle pleases testers.
- In one hill test using max pedal assist, the rider averages 15.1mph on a 0.3-mile climb with a 12% gradient.
- Testers appreciate the stable and predictable handling.
- At 55lb, the LMT'D is relatively light for this price point.
7 reasons not to buy
- One tester experiences "unusual power surges." These occur when using pedal assist or the throttle.
- The brakes don't have a motor inhibitor switch, so the rider must stop pedaling or release the throttle to brake effectively.
- Reaching max speed (28mph) requires significant pedal effort from the rider, according to one tester.
- The LMT'D v2 struggles on climbs when using the throttle alone.
- One expert describes the 100mm suspension fork as cheap and heavy.
- Assembling this and other Ride1UP bikes is challenging. One reviewer recommends professional assembly if you're not a confident bike builder.
- An expert says the frame sizes run small, and riders over 6'0" may feel cramped.
Bottom line
The second iteration of Ride1UP's LTM'D adds fenders, a torque sensor, and lights, making it a practical option for commuters. The range, customizable PAS, powerful and natural pedal assist, and smooth ride impress experts who enjoy the stable handling and relatively low weight. Complaints include underwhelming throttle power, challenging assembly, and unusual power surges experienced by one tester. Additionally, the brakes lack a motor inhibitor switch, and the suspension fork is heavy and excessive for an urban e-bike. Reviews are limited, but both testers consider the Ride1UP LMT'D v2 great value in the commuter segment.Expert Reviews
