    Paint quality

    After further examination close-up, I have the say everything looks great. It's not a glossy paint job, but it looks good, and the welds look good, and some are smoothed out as well. My 700 didn't have have a scratch.

    Cruise Control and Overboost on new Ripcurrent S

    Rize does on some of there bikes. Ride1Up did on their 700 for a couple months back in 2020. I asked about the Rize before and was told it maintains power rather than speed, just as a Juice owner stated before (about a different bike last year, not the RCS).

    Cruise Control and Overboost on new Ripcurrent S

    I read some comments on here about the Juiced cruise control in the past, and they said it just maintains a continuous power level to the motor rather than maintaining the speed. So if you start going up a hill, the cruise will not increase power, so the bike will actually slow down because the...

    Ride1UP Core-5 Reviews

    My Ride1Up 700 was defaulted to 70% in PAS 5 as well, but that's with the default range maxing to PAS 5, so that's 5 out of 5. It was a higher percentage at the highest PAS level by default when I changed to 0-7 or 0-9 (PAS 9 was like 84 to 86%). Core-5 probably would be same/similar in the...

    And there's definitely true gear reduction and torque increase in bicycles. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/help-selecting-the-right-ebike.44528/post-455075 Here's a copy of the chart from the linked post that shows the gear reduction prior to the bike's chain drive train:

    Radcity and cadence sensor

    Regarding Ride1Up 700, you wouldn't know it from the manual, but that speed limit setting on the KD218 manual for current generation 700's only affects the max speed of throttle only, which has a range setting of 11 to 28 mph, so pedal assist will still assist to 28 mph regardless of that speed...

    Radcity and cadence sensor

    I went with Ride1Up because its cadence sensor based PAS is "power" based rather than "speed" based like a cruise control, plus the power level is user configurable for every assist level, and you can select among several different ranges as well. I actually adjusted PAS 1 so low that the bike...

    Help Selecting the Right eBike

    The mid-drive motor doesn't need amplification of torque through the bike's drive train. There's already a lot of gear reduction in a mid-drive motor for increased torque, more so than a 5:1 geared hub. Reference from an older post...

    UPDATE: GOT IT! $2kish & 36" inseam, 16mile Commute - DECIDED: RIDEAL! -

    I would say that delay you're experiencing isn't unusual. My Ride1Up 700 has a delay before power engages when I start pedaling or change the PAS from 0 to 1+. And it doesn't stop instantly when I stop pedaling or drop to PAS 0, either. Even the Ride1Up previous generation LMTD that had a...

    OP stated he wants to ride faster, so the Allant+ 7s would allow him to go 28 mph. And if it's your car replacement, it would be better to have LBS support.

    UPDATE: GOT IT! $2kish & 36" inseam, 16mile Commute - DECIDED: RIDEAL! -

    It sounds like you're complaining about how fast it's going and that you don't have any pedal resistance while in the lowest gear. That really sounds like an operator error. Just lower the assist level, use a higher gear, and use more muscle power to pedal so that you get a workout. That...

    Can you recommend to me a good bike for 1500 or less, details follow

    What was it she didn't like about the Flow? Did it have to do with the old Espin PAS system? I know they changed that for the 2021 model - apparently much improved.

    Can you recommend to me a good bike for 1500 or less, details follow

    The Pace has a little bit smaller battery, slightly lower top gear, and more expensive. The 500 has granular control over PAS ranges and each power level. If you have an LBS that handles Aventon or want a specific frame size, that would make Aventon more worth considering.

    Hi, senior from Denver!!

    ??? Shame on me? I was never angry, and I never said you were lying. I even gave a reason for why they might have outsourced your question, so that doesn't mesh with thinking you were lying. I was otherwise just providing you with what I've been hearing over more than a year of following...

    Can you recommend to me a good bike for 1500 or less, details follow

    Ride1Up easily. The PAS is configurable in both the ranges and for the power percentage of every assist level so that it can assist just to the power you that you want in any level. It also uses a power based assist rather than a speed based assist that acts like a cruise control. These...

    Hi, senior from Denver!!

    The height range is clearly specific on the website. You should review the specs there rather than calling support. They might have outsourced your question because it was a basic spec request that is clearly shown on their website. But, inseam plays a role as well. I've never heard of...

    Consumer Reports - 'Is an E-bike right for you?'

    Nothing about mid dive, nothing about torque vs. cadence. I skimmed over it quickly - maybe some useful bits for a beginner.

    Picking an ebike

    If you're looking at the Aventon for buying on the internet, you should consider a Ride1Up 700 unless you're really short and need a smaller frame. It's very similar, but the Ride1Up 700 has a much better fully customizable PAS system (for ranges as well as granular control of each power...

    Anybody had a bad battery in Ride1Up LMTD ?

    Yes, that does sound more like a battery issue if it's only charging to 52.5 V when completely isolated from the bike with a known good charger. Hopefully support will assist you quickly to get back on the road. I know some people have had batteries fail completely due to a blown fuse, easily...

    Anybody had a bad battery in Ride1Up LMTD ?

    That sounds like a controller issue. There have been some failures of those with LMTDs causing similar problems. I don't recall anyone reporting that the battery was bad. At 49V, the battery still is showing a good charge, and the bike should still work fine with that, even less. A full...
