    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    Just got an email that our two 700 ST bikes now won't ship until October 2nd-9th. It was to be September 15th (for one) and 26th (for the other). SO bummed!

    My Espin Sport

    Yup, same here. The ability to customize the PAS levels is a big plus and something not a lot of bikes out there allow. I thank GenXrider for pointing that out to me when I, too, was stuck deciding between so many bikes, including the espin sport. It just seems R1U met a majority of my...

    Wish someone would do an indepth review on the 700

    Same. The ones on Youtube are either older or very short, neither with too much information. If I can get through my shyness, maybe when my 700 ST arrives, I will do a video. Haha! 😏😄

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    I personally have not, no. My GF orders stuff from China semi-often though. The only downfall is the shipping times. But our bikes aren't coming for a while, so that may not matter so much right now. I have seen some folks on here (or was it the FB group?) that used AliExpress for some parts due...

    Hmmm, it reminds me of the one on my list (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKT8FBZ/). Same company, too (GUB), maybe just a different model? Either way, thanks for the suggestion.

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    I am debating between https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKT8FBZ/ and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079M4TLNT/. (Not sure if it matters, but we both have Samsung Galaxy phones; an S9 and an S10) I know we will need- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVHQB22/. I like this-...

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    I am. I have 1 700ST (gray) shipping on 9/15 and another 700ST (blue) shipping on 9/26. So they say anyway. We shall see. 🤞 And yea, same here; I've been shopping for accessories already. Haven't made a purchase yet, but my Amazon cart has a few things in it so far. :)

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    What would be your reason(s) not to? I hear it will reduce the weight a little if they aren't installed, but I don't know by how much as the bike is already pretty heavy anyway. I personally like the looks of fenders. I highly doubt I will be traveling in a lot of mud or puddles to where they...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    The C9 is a saddle we both were looking in to anyway as it seems a lot of riders have it and swear by it. I see Amazon has the 10x10 size in stock, but C9's website offers other sizes as well, though are out of stock. I would love to order some accessories now when/if I do find them available as...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Thank you! In the video, he mentiones that the seat post will raise the seat height some and for shorter riders to be aware of that, or riders who have the saddle all the way down. Since she and I are 5'4" and 5'2", we may have the saddle low to all the way down. Not sure yet. So I dunno if this...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Well hello there! Thank you! I was thinking about a suspension seat post. I have a bad neck and a couple other health issues where all the comfort I can get on the bike will be not only wanted, but needed (required even). Question- does a suspension seat post make the seat height even higher...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Nah, not right away as we won't be traveling for a few months or so with winter coming up and covid still having us staying put for the most part. I was just more thinking out loud about all the stuff that will be needed eventually and a bike rack popped up and I thought 'oh whoa!' as they...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Another thing we'll need, and the biggest of all, is a 2 bike rack to take these things with us when we go to LA or Tahoe or wherever else we think we can use them while on vacation. We take these trips a few times a year or more. I have a 2012 Hyundai Tucson GLS, she has a 2013 Kia Optima...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Ah, ok got it. I'm not sure where I read that at. I can always ask around. Either way, no big deal. I will add a holder to our list just in case.

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Keep me posted about what you find. Any ideas are appreciated. I know for sure she and I need helmets and fix-a-flat kits. My GF already knows she'll want to change the saddle out to a wider, maybe more plush one. I want a good rack bag (not sure what size though) to carry necessities in and...

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Yes, you are correct. Being able to adjust the PAS level % was a huge factor for me. Thank you again! Why I didn't mention that in my reply above, I dunno. I am just excited for everything I guess. Haha! I did edit my comment above to mention the PAS level % though. Btw- I found out the PAS...

    I am hoping the same for our order, too. 🤞

    What size tire can the R1U 700 take?...

    Hi! No worries. I took a couple months to research/review and looked at everything from Bolton, Juiced, Rad, Espin, Aventon, Biktrix, Sondors, R1U and even a few Haibikes and a Yamaha that I was told about on the forums. I really wanted (still do) a fat tire bike. BUT realizing it wasn't a...

    Ok, so I narrowed it down, but still need help please.....

    Welp, I did it! I just ordered 2 Ride 1 Up 700's, both ST models as my GF and I are on the shorter side (5'2" and 5'4"). I wish I could have got the XR version for myself as it's more me/my style, but safety and comfort first. We got 1 in gunmetal gray and 1 in steel blue, as they call it. I'm...
