A cruiser bike that doesn’t look like the stereotypical beach cruiser, the Ride1UP Cafe Cruiser sports a motorcycle-inspired design built around a quick 750W Class 3 motor.
Made by a company that prides itself on building ultra-affordable e-bikes priced several hundred dollars less than the competition, the Cafe Cruiser boasts a component package that rivals the competition. It handles nicely, is extremely quick on flat ground and is exceedingly comfortable.
We like this bike for its balance of affordability and performance, but its looks are what really puts it over the top for us. You'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a motorcycle.

E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 Do you prefer the Ride1UP Cafe Cruiser’s looks or the looks of a more traditional beach cruiser? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

@berns_pratt 2 года назад

Definitely prefer the Cafe Cruiser look!

@shawngrignon4020 2 года назад

I just found out about this company about a month ago and it was love at first sight with this bike 😍 especially the blue version. Once i saw that color i was sold

@cstu444 2 года назад

Great review as always 👍 We have 2 Balboa E-Cruise's and they are marked for the boardwalks of So Cal. More of a trad beach cruiser frame. Defiantly prefer the looks of this CC! The only issue I have is the integrated rear rack being obtrusive. Throws the off contour lines.. And some buyers will never add a passenger or a keg of beer for cargo! Same price point as the Balboa, but R1U's are feature rich! Love that they introduced a 3" tire also, not a fan of the 4" fat. Now...where's the R1U trail/adventure bike to compete with Aventon and Juiced?

Thanks for the review, I watched this in anticipation of getting one in Denver's EBike Rebate program. Something I never saw in the reviews that one of the store techs accidentally figured out the same day I test rode: Holding the (-) button the speed assist selector panel puts it in 'Walk mode" where it will assist you very slightly in walking the bike around. Fun feature I hadn't considered at all.

I've had this bike for 2+ months and have 540 miles on it so far, all walking trails up and around on a bluff. It climbs well for me (65 years old and 170 pounds). Very pleased with my purchase. One thing - Good luck finding a 3" knobby tire for it.

@bacbaohuy 2 года назад

Hi, I have an lectric XP and would like to upgrade I realized I don't use the fold feature and would prefer something more comfortable and versatile. After some research and watching of lot of your videos =), it's between the ride1up cafe cruiser and the RadRunner Plus The cafe cruiser is 10lbs lighter but.. What happens once you unlock the RadRunner Plus to class 3? RadRunner seems to have better battery management, more range.. more torque (very useful with an passager on a hill).. The cafe cruiser is soooo nice looking 😎 Being lighter, does it accelerate faster and does it maneuver turns better than the RadRunner Plus? Oh and.. will they fit inside my suv (pathfinder 2014) without taking the wheel out? Love your channel Keep up the great work 👍 🙏

@vonkruel 2 года назад

@@Leoninmiami Nice! It's much easier to assemble than some of their other bikes, but it's still good to have a helper. I think we've made a great choice with this one! Just make sure you use a good lock with it, and don't leave the battery in it when it's locked up for longer than a minute or two. Enjoy your Summer 👍

@cstu444 2 года назад

@@vonkruel Good point on removing battery! Most owners think because it is locked, (the battery) it's safe. I use the "line of sight" method rather than time away. My friends e-bike was stolen by cutting the public bike rack. In a few minutes away from the bike. Slipped the Kryptonite and bike right off. Most thief's don't want to steal an e-bike without a battery. Also a goo idea to remove or lock your seat!

I think they should use the 750W, 100nm motor used in their LMT'D model since the bike is heavier and has a higher load capacity.

@Joe_Brig 2 года назад

How is the stability? I find the LectricXP to be unstable at speed over 15mph. Is that caused by the small wheels on the xp ?

@ElectricBikeReport 2 года назад

The longer wheel base of the Cafe Cruiser makes it handle speeds and cornering well. However, that wheel base can make tighter turning more cumbersome.

@Elisplushies360woodierc 2 года назад

Unstable over 15? I don’t experience that at all on my Lectric xp.It’s a very stable ebike and regularly ride at over 20 mph.

@rncondie 2 года назад

We just purchased two Rize Leisure step through. Specs are about the same. One more gear the Rize has 4 inch tires. I am excited they should arrive in June. Too bad batteries are so costly. The Rize can take two batteries for 100 miles of range. I tested several and I prefer the torque assist which feels like a bike.

@kingdavid6286 2 года назад

Should I get lectric xp 2.0 or the ride1up core 5 ?

@shawngrignon4020 2 года назад

Personally, id only go for the lectric if you think youll be using the folding feature a lot. I was strongly considering a folding bike (bigger than the xp2.0) but they were much more expensive than the ride1up and i didnt think it would be all that useful for me in the long run. I just put my order in for the cafe cruiser, but i see the core5 and the 700 are the most popular models in the FB groups

Ride1up cruiser or the Pace 500. Which should i get

Can't go wrong either way. Cafe Cruiser is more pure cruiser; it's a very relaxed ride. Pace is a little more adaptable to cruising or leaning in and getting a good commute.

@bhegg Год назад

He would see shorter stopping distances by keeping his butt on the seat and using the front brake more - that's where your stopping power is, just like with a motorcycle; and less skidding the rear tire. No, you won't go over the handlebars.

@typicalamerican4560 7 месяцев назад

You will definitely go over the handlebars if you try that with the front breaks going down a hill…I know cause I did it when I was a kid lol

@bhegg 7 месяцев назад

@typicalamerican4560 I could see how you might think that, but going over the handlebars isn't really something that happens unless you foolishly grab a handful of front brake.

@TerrifiedRat 11 месяцев назад

Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike ru-vid.comUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!
