How did you purchase this bike in the future? 😆

Those aren't really fat tires, I wouldn't even call them "plus" tires. My Ride1Up has 2.4" tires. Fat tires are commonly 4" - I think too wide for most purposes.

You could change the gearing. Instead of having the bike do all the work, use leg power to help climb the hills so that motor isn't doing all the work. You'll get some exercise that way also.

Definitely go with a Trek over a Gazelle.

The word is that the LMTD will be coming back with the torque sensor later this year or next. As far as Ride1Up no longer having a torque sensor, that's not true. The Prodigy models have torque sensors and are available for order now but not expected to ship until January. The Prodigy...

Congrats on the purchase. You've saved some money with the Espin sale and not paying sales tax.

I edited my previous post on this this matter: On my 700, I hadn't verified it was an 11-30T cassette and have almost never used the largest cog, but it ends up it's a Shimano 11-32T, not the advertised 11-30T. Anyway, probably not a big decision making point but wanted to mention it.

The 700 has some delay for the power to stop when you stop pedaling also - about a second. The LMTD had this delay also, even with the torque sensor version that's currently not available. The delay that annoys me though is when making PAS changes on the display. They don't take effect...

I like the shifter on my 700 XR. Thumb and finger trigger shifting works just like my Trek hybrid that I've been riding for over a decade, and it has the indicator to show what gear you are in. I've known people to change the shifter included on the Ride1Up Core-5, but not on the 700. The...

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.

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).

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...

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:

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
