Style, Looks, and Quality for Riding in the City and Off-road In this review for the Ride 1Up Prodigy e-bike, we cover all the important parts that make this a great lightweight, long range, quality built, all-terrain e-bike, at an affordable price. The highlight features of our XC variant include an energy efficient motor that
Hallmark Ride1UP value: Brose motor, 120mm suspension air fork, Maxxis tires for less than we’d expect to pay.
Good pedal support from the Brose 250w mid-drive motor.
50-mile range is good for a bike this size, thanks to the 14 Ah battery.
Torque sensor delivers smooth motor engagement.
Battery management system gives you more mileage per charge.
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.
120mm air fork suspension (on our XC model) makes handling rougher terrain easier on your body.
The lowest PAS level provided some assistance, but it could feel a little sputtery at times. The other levels offered constant levels of assistance though.

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.
