    Rize RX Throttle Problem

    The cable, with the cutout unit, is located on the derailleur side chainstay, It is under the Velcro wrapped chainstay guard and runs parallel with the motor cable that runs along the same path from the motor to the rear axle. The actual cutout mechanism is a small box in line with its cable...

    Rize RX Throttle Problem

    After buying a new throttle, removing motor and looking for obvious loose things, to no avail, I discovered that my otherwise great LBS had disconnected the motor shift cutout and never reconnected it. I plugged it back in and, voila, throttle works fine now. Lotta effort for a problem that got...

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    We have loved the bike and ridden all over North America. On my recommendation a number of friends have also bought Ride1Up Lmt’ds. Their response to this problem makes me happy to buy from them again!

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    Just an FYI to all out there: Reported the problem to Ride1Up and, even though bike off warranty, they have offered my choice of shipping me a new frame or a 30% discount on any bike they sell. What great customer service!!!

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    Here is the broken frame. It is on the brake side of the chainstay, broken all through and all round the chainstay tube.

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    My wife has a 1 1/2 year old Lmt”d that we both love. Put a lot of miles on it, on road and gnarly trails. Well this week the frame on the rear brake side dropout broke completely. Don’t know what caused it, but the bike is now shot. Anybody ever have this happen to an aluminum mtb frame...

    Rize RX Throttle Problem

    I have a ‘22 Rize RX with Bafang Ultra mid drive. Rode 3000 miles last year with no problems. Got tuneup at LBS before winter. When I took it out first time this spring, everything works fine EXCEPT…. Throttle only works intermittently. As in, throttle engages for about a second, cuts out...

    Rize RX first day

    Not to hijack your thread, but how did you find the Schwalbe’s for ease of mounting? I had some Big Apple’s on my old ebike, a Trek Powerfly, and Super Motos on my wife’s Ride1Up Lmtd, and as good as they were to ride, they were an absolute bear to get on and off rims.

    Rize RX first day

    I agree with Wanders’ comments. I actually switched out my tires for some more off-road worthy knobbies (Maxxis Minions), and I find I average 35-40 mile range with them.

    Rize RX first day

    … and, the older RX had a 48 volt battery system, not 52, so the difference not as great you might initially believe.

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    Took both bikes in for end of year tune ups at my LBS and the owner told me so. No slipping or missed shifts before that, he simply used a measuring tool and told me chain was stretched enough to warrant switching out. Prolly could have kept the original for another year, but I felt like putting...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    The cut off works well, but…. You do need be mindful when shifting. This is a take care of the gear thing, If you want your chain and rear cassette (especially the highest/smallest cog) to last, it is good to try to avoid putting massive torque loads on them when shifting. I have gotten in the...
