Ride1Up Roadster v2

It’s absolutely beautiful. Packing in as much motor power and battery as some of its competition. Some higher-quality parts for the price. Plenty of speed and decent range. In the right settings, it’s an excellent bike and a killer value.

An awesome, low-cost entry into the gravel e-bike world. What you do get is a nicely made, lightweight, and surprisingly peppy electric gravel bike that is just as fun on the road as it is off it.

The Roadster v2 will appeal most to the kind of rider who wants the benefits of an e-bike – increased range and speed – without feeling like the bike is doing the work for them.

This Ride1Up Roadster v2 came with a belt-drive with a really big 64t ring and a 20t in the rear: crazy-high gear-inches. It was too much for me to handle so I’ve swapped it to a 42/16 which makes the bike that much nicer to actually pedal.

The Ride1Up Roadster v2 e-bike is so nicely designed that you almost don’t even realize it is an electric bike at first.

A solid value for the quality of bike you are getting. This model can manage a more aggressive seating position than your typical e-bike cruiser.

This thing is downright dainty. It’s got enough chooch to get you where you’re going. The battery kind of limits the appeal to daily groceries and short errands. I would recommend the Ride1UP Roadster.

I’m getting assist up to about 22 mph so it’s more like a Class 1, rather than a Class 3, but it is stated as a Class 3. If you get up out of the saddle and start pumping you will make it up the hill.

A product that is fun, easily maintained, gives you a lot of confidence in getting back out onto the road.

The Ride1Up Roadster v2 electric bike feels like a good choice for those riders who love fixies, belt drives, stealth e-bikes and don’t want to break the bank.

The top speed cap is around 28 mph. After that, my pedaling is useless. So, a usable 22 mph – constant. Those Tektro brakes, more than enough to stop this 33-34 lb bike at speed.

We love the Ride1Up Roadster because of its exceptional styling, its impressive ride performance, and the quality of the components you receive for under $____, which we have to endorse as an exceptional value.

23 mph is about the most I could do up this slight incline. There’s no way I can do more than 24 mph. In level 5, seems like 22 mph is pretty average. I’m very, very happy with this… very, very happy.

Everything is great, everything’s been working fine. I’m very, very happy with the bike and i would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s very, very lightweight. It’s kind of hard to pedal without the assist. It’s a very efficient bike.

I live in a hilly area so my range has been about 16 to 18 miles on a charge, so it doesn’t take the place of a regular bicycle but for around town, it’s fine.

It was very well-packed and really easy to assemble. All I had to do was install the pedals and the front wheel, inflate the tires, install the handlebars, and true the wheels a little. I also had to adjust the front wheel bearings.

A solid value for riders. While it certainly cuts some corners to hit that price point, the Roadster can still be an excellent bike for folks that don’t need to carry lots of bags up and down a big hill all day.

This bike could be a welcome addition to most homes. The exception is for riders who ride really hilly areas. But that goes for most singlespeeds. If it’s bright and you’re wearing sunnies, it’s very difficult to see the display.

I marvel at the light weight. It’s one of the rare e-bikes you can actually hang up on a wall, and you can reasonably carry up to a walk-up apartment or down to a subway. It just looks nice as a bike too.

Some electric bikes are simply smaller electric motorcycles. While that can be fun, I wanted a more pure electric bicycle riding experience, which can only be found on a pedal-assist bike, like the Roadster v2.
