3? Geesh, these things are failing more than I feared. And expensive.

I have a 700, but I think the 500 is a better value at the new higher prices. I'm not seeing any 500 users from last year regretting their purchases - they are still recommending it to others.

Regarding the gears, on this type of bike, sometimes people don't like having to spin the pedals so quickly in the top gear at higher speed, and I've seen various people change to chainrings with more teeth for higher gearing, even on the Ride1Up bikes that actually have higher gearing than the...

The Prodigy is not yet available for pre-order. I would say that the seat would not be at optimal fitting position for riding if you are able to touch the ground flat footed. On my 700, I'm tippy-toes if I sit on the seat because I have it adjusted for optimal pedaling fit.

Looks like the Biktrix has much more limited gearing/range with a 42T chainring and 6 speed 14-28T cassette while the 500 uses a 44T chainring and 8 speed 11-32T cassette. The Biktrix also has a smaller 36V 10ah battery, more narrow tires, and lower powered motor, but note that the weight is...

The 700 battery has a 7.7% higher Ah rating, but the 700 is a little heavier and has 2.4" tires vs. the 2.2" tires on the 500, so you would expect it to use a little more power under the same riding conditions, therefore the range definitely not being significantly further. I've been a member...

I have a Ride1Up 700. For the price, the 500 is a great value.

Not all cadence PAS systems work the same, not by a long shot. Some act more like a cruise control or accelerate abruptly up to 12 mph minimum. I really like Ride1Up for hub drive cadence PAS, which provides consistent power at customizable levels, but they don't have a mid-drive available...

Someone posted that they put some 2.6" tires on their 700 and posted these pictures.

Looks like you will need to contact support. This thread in the FB Ride1Up Rider's group looks like what you're talking about. Someone posted a video of the sound. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/?multi_permalinks=819282998707862

Are you no longer looking for a much more lightweight bike? https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/help-me-choose-please-between-a-aventon-pace-500-level-ride1up-500-700-lmtd.40191/page-2#post-382128

Ripcurrent S is a fat tire bike. The Rook has 2.4" tires. It doesn't sound like you need heavy fat tires for your purposes.

This thread, and this section, is about choosing a bike. I recommend posting your own thread to the correct section and read the Ride1Up support pages that address noise issues.

If a salesperson said it, it must be true. Even better than reading it off the interwebs. 🤣

Actually, if I was going by my "own" experience riding Specialized, THAT would be anecdotal. I'm going off on what I heard about their motor failures from various sources. This has nothing to do with the way they ride, as people typically regard the Brose system to be quiet, natural, and...

I wonder how long the "bitter end" is for your first motor failure. Someone just reported about a replacement motor that was covered under Specialized warranty after 3 years and a few thousand miles. I'm not sure if that's official though, so YMMV.

So, that's 4350 miles with a free motor replacement after 3 years. I wonder what the warranty cut off is for a first time motor replacement. I had read somewhere that a replacement motor was covered for two years from the time of replacement.

The Bosch motor would be my preference, like in the Trek. Specialized uses a Brose motor. Those have a lot of early failures. I've heard of people replacing several Brose motors in the same e-bike. There's a thread here that goes into some detail about Brose motor problems.

Get the Trek. The Como has a Brose motor in it. Those have a lot of early failures. I've heard of people replacing several Brose motors in the same e-bike. There's a thread here that goes into some detail about Brose motor problems.

Wow, that's a month faster than expected. And I got the grey one also. Both colors were available, but I preferred it.
