The rule “you get what you pay for” usually holds true, especially when it comes to electric bike buying. But, while more money usually equates to more quality in the e-bike world, there are some brands that prove to be the exception to this rule. Ride1UP is one such brand. In this Ride1UP 700 Series
It’s pretty impressive that Ride1UP packed so many name-brand components into an e-bike that costs so little.
Speaking of name-brand components, the Shimano Acera 8-Speed drivetrain has one more gear than the 7-speed drivetrains we commonly see at this price point.
The 750W hub motor is very quick. It had little trouble cruising near its maximum pedal assisted speed of 28 mph.
We really like the bike’s overall look. The gray paint job is subtle, but the overall frame shape has lots of curves and looks very nice.
The 672Wh battery has great range that’s competitive with other similarly specced Class 3 electric commuters.
The Tektro disk brakes work very well and should be easily serviceable by your local bike shop, an often overlooked feature that’s very important when an issue arises.
All direct-to-consumer e-bikes require a little assembly, but the 700 Series needed more than average. We’d highly suggest taking this e-bike to a bike shop to be built by a professional.
The cadence sensor isn’t the quickest we’ve tested, with a short lag in response when stopping or starting pedaling.
Despite its 750W motor, the 700 Series didn’t clear our test hill in the throttle-only hill test.
