eBike PERFECT For RV's | Portola eBike Review 

Richard, another thoughtful insight into another bike brand, looks like a perfect bike for probably the new E bike starters or for somebody that just wants to ride around the neighborhood. The equipment on that bike for the price is awesome.

Nice for campground

Website sells the basket and the passenger seat for the rack system.

Nice little bike Another good review.👍🏻

Yeah, I love the rear basket I bought it. It just clamped into that little square easy on off and you can even put the child seat on and off really quick and it comes in three different colors. Yeah the display is a lot of programming. You can set that to zero when you get back on For 995 this is an outstanding little bike and I how did you like the ease of changing the classes very easy agree $100 more definitely get the bigger battery the quality of the paint on these bikes are unreal my wife really enjoys hers.

Nice little budget bike.

Color looks good

The bike ships with a 10.4 or 13.4Ah battery. Well worth $100 for the 13.4 battery. They’re obviously targeting this model at the Lectric XP, which retails for roughly the same price for a 10.4Ah battery, but a $100 less for the larger battery. The extra battery is 14Ah. It uses 18650 LG cells vs the Yiwei cells the included batteries use, thus the slight difference in capacity. It’s the old 700 series battery (the new one uses 21700 LG cells and isn’t compatible). They charge $375 for it, whereas Lectric charges $499 for their 14Ah pack. I’ve had displays that default to PAS 0, 1 or the last used when you power on. It’s something you get used to, but it’s safer for people new to e-bikes if it defaults to 0. I always set my PAS to 0 before I dismount my e-bikes anyway. It’s like downshifting before coming to a stop or putting your car into neutral or park before you turn it off. You just get used to it. One thing to note is all of Ride1Up’s cadence sensor bikes use a current-based PAS vs a speed-based PAS, like Lectric now does, though they call theirs PWR. I prefer it as it gives you more control over how much the motor puts out, whereas speed-based ones use an arbitrary power curve, with peak power starting from a stop, which has thrown me off a couple times (good thing I know how to tuck and roll). It’s not the same as a torque sensor PAS but it’s better than a speed-based PAS.

What are your thoughts about this bike for a 74 year old woman who never goes above 11 mph, also riding in very hilly terrain? I used to have an Electra Townie Go but sold it. I found it hard to control. Didn’t like the 26 inch tires, had to get off to put my feet on the ground, always felt unsafe.

How does it compare to the lectric XP 3.0?

I purchased this bike last year for $899 in Indigo Matte with the 10.4ah battery. I have a collection of ebikes (an old Haibike, two Juiced, and an Urban Drift Figoo s1) but wanted a smaller folding "campground" bike to just throw in the car on a moment's notice. The smaller frame size and smaller tires were a plus for me. It's been a great bike...my only complaint is the lack of a derailleur guard, which I believe to be a significant oversight for a folding bike. I'm hoping that Ride1Up will make one available to retrofit on these bikes.

Total weight?

Good afternoon Richard how are you? Give Toby? A big belly rub for me tell him hello. Enjoy the rest of y’all afternoon.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Come on man, this bike is perfect for petite Amanda, not big Daddy-o.
