Oh wow, that is awesome! My girl just got home, so we are about to order now.

Cool bag! Does that come with, or an add-on on their site? I am debating to buy a Lectric or a espin Nero. Both are fat tire bikes for $1000 or less, which seems like such a good deal. I like how the Lectric folds though. But 20" tires..... I dunno. I wonder if I'll feel too small/low to the...

Thanks. I really do like and am going to buy the R1U 700. My partner gets home around 4pm and we are ordering then. I just wish changing to a larger tire was an easy process, but it's all good. I won't be riding on sand or snow to really make it a deal breaker, ya know? I just like the look...

Thanks much, appreciate the knowledge. So I 'may' be able to go a little bigger, but not really enough to bother imo. I could, however, buy some tires (same size) with knobs (mtn bike like style) if I feel needed. But it seems more and more that buying an actual fat tire bike (i.e. espin Nero)...

I heard back from Ride 1 Up (that was fast!). I was told: "Putting larger tires than what comes stock would be constrained by the brake caliper mount clearance and fork width." Sooo I take that as a no, I can't put anything bigger than the 2.4? Sorry, I'm just not bike savvy. Any help on this...

Good to know, thank you! =)

Hi! Thank you. I was going to do the same; purchase one of each (eSpin Flow for my GF and the R1U 700 for me). But she got hooked on the R1U 700, too, so here we are. Haha! I am still really considering also buying the eSpin Nero as it would be nice to have a fat tire bike as well. A fat tire...

Is that service listed on their site? I haven't come across it, but will look again. I'd like to see how close they are to me. Also, for warranty, do they not have to put the bike together, only just inspect it?

Yea, I read the same (about the warranty). I just hope there are bike mechanics in my area who will come to the house to put it together/inspect it. And if there are, I assume their schedule may be tight as well during these crazy times. We'll see. And yes, good point about finding tools/a kit...

No worries, just curious. We like how the R1U looks a little better; a bit thicker/sturdy looking frame, the colors, a little bigger tires, a little better components, the fact we can change the PAS % levels, etc. They just seem overall better, even if just a tad, for only a few hundred dollars...

Hi! Good to know, thanks. Have you received the bike yet? I would assume not with all the delays, so probably a dumb question. But at least you got the order in. What made you choose the R1U 700 vs the eSpin Sport?

So we (finally!) made our decision on what bikes to buy; the Ride 1 Up 700 ST models. However, for my bike, I want a little bigger tires. I know the 700 comes with 2.4", but I would like to go 3" or 4" (semi-fat to fat tires) if at all possible so I can ride a bit rougher trails at times. For...

They still have both 24" and 26" available. They will ship in November. The 24" were supposed to be tubeless ready, but they couldn't get the right rim for that in time, so they won't be. I asked if there will be a further discount due to that matter, but no reply yet. The price for now is still...

I chatted in with eSpin earlier today as I had some questions for them before I choose their bike or Ride 1Up bike. One of the questions I asked was about the adjustable stem and I was told that both the Sport and Flow has adjustable stems, if that helps. Sorry to chime in, btw. Just scoping out...

Hahaha! Not as bad as I thought. 🤣

My hope is to learn all there is about taking care of and fixing the bikes (if needed). But first, we need to buy them and learn how to ride. Lol! Well, we can regular bikes of course. But we hear ebikes have a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to gears and such.

That's great, appreciate it! What shops do you use?

That's cool! Love So Cal (we hang in LA/Venice/Hollywood every chance we get). We are in Nor Cal (Bay Area). Certain stores make their own safety rules, apparently. I'm all for everyone's safety during these crazy times, for sure. But it is disappointing because I wanted to test a few different...

Our main one, and most recommended is Hyland Bikes (San Jose). There are a couple smaller ones around that we can call and ask about their test rides, but Hyland has the most (broader) selection and just got some Aventon bikes in that my girl wanted to try. But no can do.

No, none. We live in Cali, where the covid 'rules' are still a bit tight. And in our county, some places still aren't open at all. The LBS are open, but with safety measures such as 'you can look, but don't touch'. And we can't even go in the shop; it's all curbside viewing only. So that doesn't...
