Bottom line
The Ride!UP Roadster v2 is a simplistic, lightweight electric bike with five levels of pedal assist. The bike has a single-speed belt drive and v-brakes. Both are easy to maintain. 700c tires from Kenda give riders great traction for pavement. The integrated battery was favorable for most, but some desired the ability to charge the battery off the bike and the ability to swap out the battery to extend their range on longer rides. This bike is affordable. This pleased most, but some found the fact that Ride1UP did not include a headlight and kickstand disappointing. Overall, this is an electric bike that is both attractive and simple for pathway riders and commuters.Expert Reviews
