Ride1Up Prodigy V2 Review: High-End Kit With A Low-End Price

Nov 2024

Check out the Ride1Up Prodigy V2—a commuter-ready e-bike with a Brose mid-drive motor, solid components, and versatile performance for urban and weekend rides.

Observations
  • The Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive motor has a smooth power delivery with 90 Nm of torque. It’s quiet, responsive, and provides enough punch for both city streets and steep climbs.

  • The Tektro Orion 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes are powerful and reliable, giving you the Prodigy V2 control even on fast descents. A welcomed braking setup not often seen at this price.

  • Whether you go for the belt-driven Enviolo CVT hub or the traditional microSHIFT 9-speed setup, both options deliver solid performance. The CVT offers smooth, maintenance-free shifting, while the 9-speed gives you more direct control on varied terrain.

  • Fully equipped with an air coil suspension fork, fenders, a rear rack, integrated lights, and Maxxis Rekon gumwalls, the Prodigy V2 feels built for daily commuting, a weekend ride and even the occasional off-road shortcut to the office. See Latest Price

Ride1UP Prodigy V2 LX Review, 2023

Sep 2023 · Griffin Hales

Serious trekking potential! Thanks to new and meaningful improvements, the Prodigy V2 LX may be Ride1UP's best Prodigy yet. Ride1UP has made a number of terrific e-bikes that each stake out different territory relative to a rider’s needs. They have impressed us with the value proposition they offer buyers. Their e-bikes typically feature some more

Highs
  • The 250W Brose mid-drive motor is is terrific. It adds a little, or a lot, of speed, and has the torque you need to go over and down most any hill.

  • The Enviolo CVT hub makes the ride incredibly smooth. The CVT and Brose motor feel like an exceptional match, allowing for a great feeling on the road, up hills, down hills, and on straightaways

  • With its 504Wh battery, this e-bike is a long-range champ. You can expect at least 60 miles (and upwards of 90 if sticking to Eco).

  • Comes ready to commute straight out of the box thanks to the inclusion of fenders, front and rear lights, a rear rack and kickstand.

  • Provides a more comfortable ride than most commuters with 20-in. wheels, thanks to 27.5 wheels, 2.25-in.-wide tires and a 100mm-travel fork

  • The bike handles very nicely. It’ll hold speed nicely on paved roads, with just enough chunk on the tires to keep you in control when riding on areas that’ll get you a little dusty and dirty.

Lows
  • Limited sizing. Only one option for sizing, while smaller riders will may have to look to the LS model.
