Stacked with quality, name-brand components & filled with useful features, the Prodigy V2 is a solid commuter e-bike that's also affordable!

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

Price: $2295.00 | Model Year: 2022 | A feature complete commuter-ready speed pedelec that can hit 28mph 45 km/h. It uses a premium mid-drive motor from Brose, and reliable Samsung battery cells. Relatively low price point for proven name-brand components including the 9-speed Shimano Alivio drivetrain.
A feature complete commuter-ready speed pedelec that can hit 28mph 45 km/h. It uses a premium mid-drive motor from Brose, and reliable Samsung battery cells. Relatively low price point for proven name-brand components including the 9-speed Shimano Alivio drivetrain.
A physical shift sensor cuts power anytime you change gears, significantly reducing chain and sprocket wear. Powerful Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with larger 180mm rotors and adjustable reach levers provide secure stops. The tires offer puncture protection, the lights are bright and shine form the sides as well as the front.
Good weight distribution, matching black hardware, comfortable locking grips, the saddle clamp uses two bolts for added strength, the adjustable kickstand is positioned perfectly. Deep but intuitive color display, powerful and smooth Brose TF Sprinter ALU motor with high 90nm torque output.
The bike only comes in one size and one color, unless you pay a bit extra for the fancy metallic green. Ride1Up is mostly a direct online brand, so you'll need to unbox and assemble (but it's pretty easy with this model). There's no suspension, which can feel a bit harsh at high speeds. The battery pack took more effort to mount and didn't always stick. The display is fairly small and has no charging ports.
