The Ride1Up Roadster V3 is a minimalist take on electrified riding, but it's not a bare-bones offering. This cafe-style class 2 bike rolls on 700c wheels...

Summary Review: Ride1UP Roadster V2 *See the latest price on the Ride1UP Roadster V2 here When Ride1UP sent us their Roadster V2 electric commuter bike for review and we pulled it out of the box for the first time, I was hit with a healthy dose of nostalgia. It’s clean lines, urban styling and refreshing
Very quick motor engagement thanks to a quick-acting bottom bracket cadence sensor. It takes about a half pedal stroke for the motor to kick on.
The power delivery is smooth and feels like a nice compliment to your pedaling. Not jerky or overpowering.
Really awesome styling. More than a few of our testers say this is their favorite looking e-bike.
You can hardly tell it’s an e-bike. The motor is discreet and the battery is extremely well hidden.
Very lightweight for an e-bike at only 33 lbs.
This e-bike is equipped with a belt drive, which keeps pant legs grease free and requires very little maintenance.
The modest 350W hub motor packed a solid punch. It got the bike up to cruising speed easily and it carried us up hills with surprising gusto, which was nice considering there’s only one gear.
The frame has eyelets to add a fender or rack.
We’d like to see some slightly wider handlebars on future iterations of this bike. The narrow bars that come with the bike are certainly in line with the fixie/messenger styling, but they can make the bike feel twitchy and are a bit uncomfortable while standing and pedaling.
The 64×20 single speed gear ratio is pretty large, and might prove tough on some steeper hills or at low speeds.
