    Speed limit on Display Settings

    I have not found any difference in the pedal-assist or throttle when changing the speed limit Also the throttle response is not affected by the PAS level selected.

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    Both the Rize X and Leisure have been great so far. My wife is getting more accustomed to the Leisure and enjoys it more each time out. I was worried at first but am less concerned now as she gets used to it.

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    When she stands over the frame in front of the seat she barely touches the ground. There is no clearance for her inseam due to her height. The weight of the bike would be less of a problem if she had enough clearance, but it adds to the problem as she finds it difficult to balance herself to...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    Actually, she does find it too big and she is 5 foot 2. In hindsight, I should have gotten her the City instead. The website now shows recommended height ranges for each bike and the minimum for the Leisure shows as 5 foot 6. I wish I knew this before I ordered! The minimum height for the...

    100km on my Rize X

    Hey Guys, I just crossed my first 100 Kms with the Rize X too and it has been great. I went a lot further on a single ride than I ever have before on my regular mountain bike. At one point I was rocking 35 KM/H on a straight rutted mountain bike trail grinning ear to ear. The battery...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    I took both bikes out today to compare them back to back. The biggest difference I am observing is in the smoothness of the power delivery. I found the Leisure with cadence to accelerate more briskly and abruptly so I would have to stop pedaling more often as the bike would get going very...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    So I finally had a chance today to take the Rize X for a ride through the back trails and a local ski hill. All I can say is WOW. The ability to go anywhere with the Fat Tires combined with the effortless acceleration was awesome. I never thought I would be biking straight up a snow-covered...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    Hey Guys, I finally received the 2 Rize bikes today! I assembled the Rize X and it was very straightforward. The size and weight of the bike was the biggest eye-opener as I assembled it. Compared to my old mountain bike, this thing is huge! My 12-year-old son is in awe of it and wants his...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    OK, in that case, I am way over the 45 lbs even without the battery. I guess I won't be breaking my back trying to load the bikes on the rack after all!

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    Very good points opimax. I was trying to get a feel for how much weight the bike would lose when removing the battery as I can't find that info at the moment If it is not enough to reduce the weight to the rated 45 lbs, then I wouldn't chance it. Do you know of any hitch racks that would be...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    Hi All, One more question for the group, if I may: The Leisure and X are each listed at 68 lbs. My bike rack is a Swagman hitch mount like this one: https://www.swagman.net/product.htm?pid=828204&cat=40492 It is rated at 45 lbs per bike. I'm wondering if our 2 Rize bikes (without the...

    Thanks for the reply MarTar! It's great to hear that you are still happy with the bike after all those KMs. I am anxiously waiting for our bikes to arrive... I will post back on my experience setting them up and first rides. Cheers!
