Ride1UP Rift

A highly capable e-bike ready for both on-road and off-road adventures. Is it perfect? Of course not. Admittedly, many of the Ride1Up Rift XR’s features match those of other e-bikes in its class.

The Rift has been able to set itself apart. It has higher-level specs than we would have expected for the price point. Main differentiators are the ability to travel at 28 mph with ease, the 4-piston brakes and the sturdy rear rack. We suggest upgrading the lighting if you plan to do much after-dark riding.

A stupendously smooth ride… It strikes the right balance between easy assembly, ease of use, comfort, and overall design. It’s a heavy electric bicycle. The motor will kick on after a few seconds. We were able to get up steep hills with ease.

The Ride1Up Rift is just as comfortable riding on the road as off-road. At this price, it’s comparable to other full-size fat tire electric bikes. Riding up steep hills is quick and easy. It’s quite a heavy electric bike… The display can be a bit difficult to read. I love the step-thru for the ease of getting on and off.

If you’re looking for fat-tire e-bike that has the versatility to add a passenger, this is your best option… The Rift is a well-designed bike but it isn’t perfect. There is an odd delay…that I have not felt before in another e-bike. You should expect to the motor to keep pushing you forward 5-10 feet after you stop pedaling.

This is a big boy right here. It’s not a super-super-heavy e-bike. That 95 Nm of
torque is really, really good and useful. The hydraulic disc brakes did a really good job. I have to say the biggest competition for this bike is probably going to be coming from Ride1Up themselves and this is their REVV 1 electric bike.

In summary, the Ride1Up Rift is a versatile, powerful, and stylish e-bike that offers an exceptional riding experience for urban and off-road adventurers alike. With its powerful motor, long-lasting battery, and top-notch components, the Rift is a great value.
