Complete Test and Review of the Ride1up 700 Series Commuter Electric Bike | Electric Bikes | 

Quality video. Thorough. Great editing. This deserves views. Appreciate your efforts.

Just ordered one last week- great review! Looking forward to some great rides here in N.Florida.

Got my 700 6 months ago. Love it. I've put 1350 miles on it with absolutely no problems. I live on a big hill and the brakes and climbing power are terrific. The gears shift precisely. The ride on bumpy roads is smooth with the wide tires and suspension fork. I often take 30-35 mile rides with the pedal assist in mid range (level 4 or 5 of 9) and return with plenty of battery. The handlebar stem can be adjusted to raise the bar 3" and move it 3" closer to rider which I did to give me an upright riding position. At first the cadence based pedal assist didn't feel good. But with a little practice I now love it. The brief delay in onset of power with cadence assist can be totally eliminated with a quick tap of the thumb throttle. The brief delay in cutting off power when you stop pedaling can likewise be eliminated with a slight twitch of the brake handle. These little touches become reflexive second nature making for a smooth comfortable ride. The bike is still solid with no rattles or squeaks. At around 800 miles on the odometer I had a bike mechanic do a tune up, which amounted to changing the brake pads, tightening the rear wheel spokes a bit, lubing the chain, and wiping dust off the frame, otherwise the bike was in perfect condition. I think this review by Bryon described the performance of this bike very well. I would attest to its outstanding quality of build, reliability, and comfort. While I haven't had any problems to discuss with the Ride 1 Up company, they have been quickly and competently responsive when I contacted them with a few questions. As you can tell, I'm fan of this bike. I think it can't be beat for value, performance, comfort, and reliability in the $1500 price range. I forgot to say it looks real good too. It gets lots of compliments.

Thorough and real life testing and reporting! GREAT WORK, THANKS!!!!

excellent review and testing! thank you for sharing!

Just finished assembling mine and taking it for a test ride. SO FUN!

Got mine last week, rode it for the first time yesterday! Love it! 😀👍🏻

A heads up for people watching this review. After many test rides (bikes up to $7k) and research we bought 2 Ride1Up 700s. We were hesitant to purchase before trying but these bikes are perfect! Other ebikes have a almost dangerous power distribution thats not adjustable and we found other issues we didnt like on every test ride (no thumb throttle, uncomfortable, etc). This bike has everything, power settings and display fully customizable and very nice to ride with or without power assist. Speed and battery life are amazing. Looks and comfort are as well. Great product all the way around

Great review... Really nice breakdown on the speeds with the battery's percentages.

Really , really, good review and testing . Am considering it..

This is the bike I own, so far I love it. Very powerful and faster than I expected!!

Good review. Subscribed. Keep up reviews like this.

Great review! I was honestly never going to even consider one but after this video, I just may. Thank for all your hard work you do, wish you all the luck. 👍

Fantastic detailed review on what an ebike can do. I live in a country that's got hill lots of hills, I'm surrounded by hills!

That’s how reviews should be. Thanks!

Wow! Fantastic review. I'd been wondering how it would do on hills and rough terrain. I've been zooming all over Los Angeles with my 700 for the last month or so. Great bike!

A great to the point review.

Awesome video great review.

This is the best review I’ve seen!! Awesome!! I have a question does the break-light light up when pressed/squeezed?

Excellent video.

If you crash and break a brake lever, can the wiring be disconnected so it doesn't have to be completely withdrawn from within the frame in order to replace just the lever? In other words, are there "quick disconnects" for each remote component?

works great, very happy with this product

I bought 2 of these bikes about 3 months apart. First one went together well the 2nd suffers from severe quality issues. The customer service, which is basically 1 person, weasels out of everything, they have a story for everything and blame you for the reason the bike is lemon. I am now considering filing a complaint with my state's attorney general. First bike was as described above the 2nd one is a lemon, broken parts, parts that will not assemble, its a joke.

Excellent video! I'm considering this for my wife, but concerned about maintenance cost. We have 2 LBS within 15 to 25 miles: Trek & Specialized. The are great on their own products as I have bikes from both. But, there is no priority for other brand bikes.

Nice review! Have a 700-really is a great E-Bike. At 235 lbs and using level 2 and 3 I usually charge when the battery is down to around 30% and have gone around 35 miles. Really enjoy pedaling in level 2 while cruising at 17 mph. On large hills I use Pedal Assist 3. For the same effort one uses to go around 10mph on a regular city bike you are easily nearly doubling your speed. I have found that there are several good bikes with similar quality and components but the 700 is a better value.

Excellent reviews! Thank you. Need a low step, otherwise it could be in the running. 🚲

I saw your review of the Macwheel and I realize these two bikes are worlds apart, but if it was your first eBike would the Macwheel be sufficient or should I just pony up and get something more like this? I really like the look of the 700 and the Brown/Grey combo on the 500. Thanks for the review and keep up the good fight!!

Great review, but you don't measure battery capacity in volts. 48 volts is standard. You need to measure it in watt hours combined with voltage, or just use straight amp hours, for battery capacity

I think it been better if you lowered the music more or no music but great review...

I am 6'6" - will this bike fit me, with or without a longer seatpost and / or adjustable stem? Thanks. Nice review....

Thanks great review do a lot of normal bicycle myself most ebucks still too pricey for me

what helmet did you wear in the video?

Great review, what would be your favorite E-bike in the 1500 price range?

What do you mean when you say battery is at 50% and then a peddle assist level? Battery % usually means how much battery is left. What do you mean by battery assist here?

Not sure if I wanted to plunge into a E-Bike, but given that some high end regular hybrid bikes are already $1000+ might as well get an E-Bike. That being said, I'm surprised a dynamo styled battery charger hasn't been engineered to help send a bit of charge to battery while your tires are spinning....

Have you compared it to Ariel Rider C-Class? I am curious as these are the two I am most interested in! Thanks!

Nice video, Im stuck between this, Aventon Level Commuter and Himiway. Whats your opinion?

Where is that trail at 4:14?(!) And where is the ride at 3:34 as well? Kinda looks like between Bryce and Zion, but we'd really like to know EXACTLY what trails those are. (actually it'd be super cool if creators would annotate some of their more interesting spots for those of us curious types who explore and boondocks in motorhome RV's. THANKS if you can reply.

Nice

Is the motor still 500w? Their website now says it's 750w sustained, and also says their controller peaks at 1000w.

I'm debating on which bike to purchase it's between ride1up or the aventon level. Which one do you think is better? Hope I'm not putting you on the spot.

I'm considering this bike. However I can't park this bike outside and have to carry this to my apartment. Do you think it is doable daily? Carrying this bike up and down one floor level?

Are these difficult to assemble? Considering purchasing one for my daily commute of 10 miles.

My apology to this reviewer. You made a very good video review of this bike. Sorry I called you Bryon because I really don't know your name. Everything else I said in my recent comment I'll stand by.

I would like to know if you are sponsored, or have affiliate links for ride1up.

Can you use the bike like a normal bike when the battery is dead?

looks comp to KBO and comparisons?

how tall are you? i'm looking at buying one of these?

This or the AventonLevel?

The thing with these ebikes is I never hear anyone step forward and tell how they got in good shape/health since they purchased one.

Music doesn't add to the review, but I appreciate the review.

whats the range throttle only?

What country is this ??? Wondering Why You are riding into traffic flow ??

That noise though...

anyone at 6'1" ride one of these? they only offer one frame size...

Your bike goes past 20 on straight throttle? I thought they were limited to 20 on throttle...

How is this thing on hills?

I think you mean 750w motor

How much Kmh?

do you ship this bike to the United kingdom ?

I agree that this bike is a "beast" given its weight and bulk. Not sure it's much of a bargain / value, however. I recently received a 700 and after assembly - including unsuccessful hunts for instructions online (the skimpy "user manual" that ships with the bike is incomplete) - I took the bike out for a test ride... It is heavy, slow, not very ergonomic nor fun to ride and feels every bit like the ~ $300 bike drop shipped from China that the initial ride leads me to believe that it is. I would avoid this bike. I've ordered direct-to-consumer bikes before, including an e-bike via Walmart that was easier to assemble, a better ride, lighter (40lbs vs. 50+) and about 1/3 the price. It is hard to justify this bike and its reviews and I end up scratching my head and wondering if the same bike was ridden and/or where do I sign up to have the company pay me to market for them? If they paid well perhaps I'd distort the review to explain that, yes, it really does have a 500 watt hub motor that, although very sluggish in power levels 1 and 2, starts to kick in at 4. Sigh. I really wish this were the bike that reviewers say it is. Unfortunately I've nothing but buyer's remorse. My recommendation: buy any of the competitors: either the ones for $600 - $700 from Amazon and Walmart, or the very solid Rad City. I can't see why this bike costs $1700+. It is not worth half that.

The "music" is too loud compared to the voice, aside from being painful to listen to.

A far better ebike, with a stronger motor, better quality build, automotive grade finish, and built by a real factory (not Chinesium like R1Up uses) is the Aventon LEVEL. No they are not clones of each other. At all. Other than basic outline of frame. Besides that Aventon's Levels can be bought LOCALLY (over 200 dealers nationwide) where you can top notch assembly, and professional service after the sale. You wont get ANY of that with R1Up, who is the least professional on line seller of ebikes you will ever meet, after the sale. I bought one, and sent it back, bc too many problems that their people did not know how to resolve. Bought the Aventon Level after that, and its just been heads and shoulders better than the 700. Get with the REAL bike company, Aventon, who was building real bikes before R1up ever came in existence, as a mere importer slapping their logo on some POS 3rd party chinesium made, no QC, and no support.
