    A year on my Rize RX

    I ride almost 100% of the time in ECO Pas 1. It's all the assistance I need, and I get a great workout. At 225 lbs, and more with gear on and added to my bike, I've got no problem riding 40+ miles before seeing super low battery levels, and that's in a very hilly, but not mountainous, area...

    A year on my Rize RX

    I've had my RX 2020 model since 10/20. In nearly 2,000 miles it's been completely trouble-free. All tuning and maintenance have been done by me, and I too give big ups to YouTube and all the bike adjustment and repair videos to be found and used online. They've made maintaining the bike a...

    Good Stuff You Bought

    No, the visor is $14.99 U.S. and is backordered. I plan on getting one.

    Good Stuff You Bought

    To be honest, I don't know. So I searched for you: 370 grams. I'll weight it tonight to verify.

    Good Stuff You Bought

    I recently received as an Xmas gift the Lumos Ultra MIPS helmet with the accessory handlebar controller that adds an accelerometer so that when you slow down, the red lights on the back of the helmet get brighter, acting as brakelights. Also, it has turn signals in yellow connected via...

    Are We Condemned to Strava?

    There is an ebike option on Strave, FWIW.

    Rize RX vs Dost Kope?

    No problem. Weight w/out battery is well within its capability.

    Rize RX vs Dost Kope?

    This is what I do, too. Why lift w/the battery, it doesn't need to be on the bike on the stand.

    Rize RX - 2020vs2021 Model?

    Thanks for the intel. I'm really wearing down my rear tire at nearly 1700 road miles. I have the narrow-tire RX, but I do not need knobby, off-road focused tires. I'll be revisiting this thread for tire suggestions in the very near future.

    mirror mount end of bar

    I have one of these on both of my bikes. Works great. End of bars look fine with mirror in place. I did have a removable plug, so no cutting, but the size and placement is perfect, so I'd have cut if I had to cut. Bike is Rize RX.

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    I live in Pennsylvania and I've already had one (good) encounter with a State Trooper who didn't seem the least bit interested in the fact that I was on an ebike. I have a beyond class 3 bike, Rize RX, and I use and ride it like any other bike I own. I ride it where and when I want, and I...

    Rize RX valves

    My 2020 RX has schrader valves. There are adapters that will still allow you to use your current pump.

    Rize RX - 2020vs2021 Model?

    On the 2020, there are only 5 levels in Eco & 5 in Sport. The ability to slice power assist levels up into 9 settings is not actually available, and that hasn't been something that's been an issue. I do believe the display has the capability of showing more power levels, and maybe it's the...

    Rize RX - 2020vs2021 Model?

    RE: 2020 Rize RX: I just used my throttle in a bad rainstorm to get home and I far exceeded 28 mph, running up to the mid 30's. I also regularly ride 40+ miles in PAS 1 Eco and return home with more than 20% battery. Riding environment is very hilly, and rider weight is 225 lbs. I don't...
