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.
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

Torque sensor delivers smooth motor engagement.

Light frame, ergonomics, and components makes this bike comfortable, easy to control.
Balanced gearing eliminates ghost pedaling and low gear difficulties.
Our test XC model is suitable for all terrain riding thanks to the standard Maxxis tires.
