Where to buy
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Ride1Up LMT'D. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
18 reasons to buy
- With a torque sensor, the LMT’D delivers pedal assist that is quicker, smoother and more intuitive than on hub-motor e-bikes that employ a mere cadence sensor.
- The Ride1Up's high-torque MXUS motor belts out a whopping 100 Nm of torque, enabling owners to lug bulk cargo.
- The LMT'D's 750W motor allows riders to grind their way up almost any hill.
- Ride1Up's LMT'D is offered at a competitive and affordable price.
- The LMT’D’s clean lines incorporate an integrated battery, sveltely.
- Moderate jounce is trounced by an 80 mm-travel, RST Asteria, air-suspension fork.
- At 53 lb, reviewers commend the LMT’D for its moderate weight.
- Dual-piston Tektro hydraulic brakes with 180 mm rotors work in consort with brake-lever-actuated motor-cut-off sensors to deliver confident braking.
- LMT’D owners can adjust the number of pedal assist levels between 3 and 9.
- Users can fine-tune the power delivery of the LMT’D’s assist levels.
- 2.4”-wide WTB Groov-e tires cushion LMT’D riders across varied surfaces.
- The LMT’D is a Class 3 e-bike that can reach 28 mph via pedal assist, or 20 mph on pure throttle.
- Testers say the LMT’D’s display is easy to read, even under blazing, direct sunlight.
- The LMT’D is available in 2 frame shapes: ST for accessibility & traditional XR.
- A removable battery ensures security and allows LMT’D owners to charge anywhere.
- Testers feel that the LMT’D’s gearing and range are well considered and generous.
- The Ride1Up LMT’D is sold with a kickstand.
- Some testers believe the LMT’D is suited to off-road pursuits.
4 reasons not to buy
- The Ride1Up LMT’D is sold without a rear light, fenders or a rack.
- Assembly of the LMT’D is more complex than a number of competing e-bikes.
- One tester says the bike’s 2.4” tires create drag, causing the LMT’D to chew through battery rapidly and limit range.
- An expert sees the LMT’D’s finish and appearance as lackluster.
Bottom line
The LMT’D is a Class 3 e-bike equipped with a torque sensor. Reviewers say power delivery is subtle and intuitive, unlike many competing hub-motor bikes. A 750 W MXUS motor delivers a generous 100 Nm of torque, allowing the LMT’D to lug loads and scale steep roads. The LMT’D now comes with a headlight; but no taillight, fenders or rack. Component quality is lauded, especially at this bike’s affordable price. Like other Ride1Up models, the LMT’D requires more assembly than competing e-bikes.Expert Reviews
