The Pedego Ridge Rider is a delightfully capable and refined 27.5" hardtail electric mountain bike with powerful 500 watt motor and 48 volt battery pack. Nice upgrades on the adjustable air fork with lockout, 15 mm thru-axle, locking grips, hydraulic disc brakes and composite pads. Solid year long warranty with excellent dealer support and availability, only available in one size and color, no quick release on rear wheel. Offers four levels of responsive torque sensing pedal assist which compliment the 20 speed drivetrain nicely, you also get one level of cadence sensing assist for relaxed pedaling, a throttle override in any assist level and a throttle-only drive mode.

I have had my ridge rider for 2 years now. I have not had any major issues but when I need support , Pedego is fantastic to deal with. They will go beyond to help. As for my ridge rider I absolutely love it. Till this day I would still buy it or the trail tracker. You will not be disappointed with this bike Thanks for your review Court. Marcel

My husband and I bought 2 bikes last week from TriBikeRun in Florida. Great bike. We've been riding all over West Palm, Singer Island and Palm Beach. Great exercise for 58 and 59 year old people. I've only used 1 bar on my battery and my husband only used 2 bars while riding at least 4 hours. Pretty flat terrain except for bridges.

I did a test ride of this bike...this was a great experience!...this review nails it, i think the reviewers took the bike exactly to the same place i go hiking and biking every week. Nice to see this in the neighborhood of foothill ranch, ca.

Thanks for this review! I bought my RR April 2021 after watching your review and renting one to try. I’m 5’5” and the bike is a bit big for me. I’ve done modifications to shorten the reach using a Ritchey stem. I changed the seat to a Selle italia/Donna & added a Kinekt suspension post.I also swapped the pedals for a much better grip. I ride trails only, no asphalt. At 200 miles I got an ‘error 16’. It took two months of back and forth and no bike to get things diagnosed. The dealer replaced several parts with no luck. He finally replaced the motor-problem solved! 👏🏻 My bike is performing at peak which has me believe the motor was compromised from the beginning. I still love my RR but I’m now looking to convert an analog to e-bike. I want less weight than 55 lb, pedal assist only and something a bit more stealth and nimble on single-track trails. Thanks again for your reviews!

Thats the bike for me,have 4 weeks for it to arrive here in New Zealand,just can't wait,as it will be my every day ride,just love your reviews,keep up the good work and cheer,s.:-)

@vivianfrerichs7515 7 лет назад

Looks like an awesome bike! Thanks for giving us a thorough review of it.

@MotorheadRedo 8 лет назад

Nice! I hope Pedego comes out with more mountain bikes, or at least a larger frame for the Ridge Rider. Does anyone know what happens on a cadence sensing ebike when your moving forward but you pedal backwards? Does the motor turn on?

@felixg12 8 лет назад

do you think this ridge rider rides nicer than their trail tracker. im going crazy trying to decide. i tried the ridge rider and fell in love with it but I really would like the extra traction with the 4 inch tires on the other one. bit im afraid its going to be slower and not be able to dial it in so perfectly like this bike with the pedal assist. the ridge rider felt so perfect . which do you like better?

@nastythomashobbs 8 лет назад

Very nice looking bike. Not a fan of hub motors though. Pedal assist is only great in the top mode with a hub motor as the assistance is consistent. . With a mid drive the assistance is consistent not on and off like a rear drive. You can actually use all 4 modes and and only notice less of an assistance and still pedal till 20 mph. Way too jerky with a hub motor.

Can i ship this to Norway with throttle? Thanks for the review, i love all your videos!! ;)

@ElectricBikeReview 8 лет назад

+H. Sunde Thanks! I'm not sure but there are a few shops within US that ship all around the country and might be willing to do something special for you. One is Propel Bikes in New York, Another is Electric Cyclery in California. Hopefully someday the different countries relax some of the laws so more people can use throttles :)

@donaldhall1902 7 лет назад

I just got back from Europe and the best e-bikes there had Bosch motors. What does this have? And what is the rated range in miles? Realize it varies, but need something to compare or is fully a function of power?

@thetds101 8 лет назад

Wow,...this is an excellent ride. I wish it was a speed pedalec myself,... When pedaling it's totally legal to hit 28 mph. I just don't get why it isn't built to allow the rider to fly when you feel like it. Still, I have to start saving for my ebike. It'll be required for multi-modal transportation soon.

@thetds101 8 лет назад

PS: we gotta get a fat guy (I wish it was me) to try these bikes for you. I'd like to see it haul me (235+ lbs) up that hill. Lol!!!

@okanaganmedia 7 лет назад

I'm looking for an ebike that can assist up a pretty steep hill. Im a big guy so the most powerful motor is necessary. Would you recommend the Surface 604 or the Pedego Ridge rider for steeper hills? Maybe you have a suggestion other than these two I mentioned. Thanks

@darrisnelson5223 3 года назад

Mt husband is 6’2”, 200 lbs, he uses the throttle most of the time😬 We’ve ridden up trail hills and he’s had no problem getting to the top. Not sure how he’d do on steep hills. I have step-through and at 125 lbs zip up like nothing😉

@landlend452 8 лет назад

At what max speed does the pedal assist shut down

@drzarkloff506 8 лет назад

this seems to be the ebike for me. it looks like I'll have to save a few more pennies as it is a bit pricey.

@ElectricBikeReview 8 лет назад

+DrZarkloff It's a pretty sweet ride... one of the few with assist, throttle and throttle override :)

@drzarkloff506 8 лет назад

+ElectricBikeReview.com the override is a seller for me, too.

@masonjlandry9961 5 лет назад

you can finance these bike from what i know!

@joebramman 5 лет назад

Could you please review rambo, or backcountry e bikes

@420Gaming666 5 лет назад

I would honestly never pedal unless the battery died LMAOOOOOO

@sethg1500 8 лет назад

Hmmmmm it struggled a bit taking you up a hill from a dead stop ...and I have 70lbs on you. Scary thought paying 4000+ for a bike that can't take me up a hill.

review a motoped pro as a direct competitor to this overly expensive paperweight.

@ElectricBikeReview 8 лет назад

+SickOfThisCrap1 Indeed.

@thetds101 8 лет назад

+SickOfThisCrap1 True dat!!!

@ElectricBikeReview 8 лет назад

+benjamin Ofuasia Hey Benjamin, I hope you're not getting hurt feelings here. Your words of "expensive paperweight" set off a bit of backlash but you're still accepted and I'm sure motopeds are lots of fun. Hope you're having a good weekend bud :)

@benjaminofuasia9236 8 лет назад

ElectricBikeReview.com no you are right, i was a bit harsh here, but i do believe that it is slightly overpriced and under spec-ed. BTW i forgot to add that i am a big fan of your videos

@ElectricBikeReview 8 лет назад

+benjamin Ofuasia Thanks man, I appreciate your support and I agree that some of these ebikes are out of reach for most people price wise. Even though I see a lot of them, I still sleep in my car when traveling and live on a modest budget to try to keep the site from feeling over-advertised and to feel like I'm being fair and objective. Slowly the business is growing for me but I'm just glad I can get out there and bring some data to the discussion. Always open to positive or critical feedback to get better :)
