Riding for exercise, same as me. I wanted granular customization of every PAS level independently to control the amount of assist from the bike vs. how much muscle power I wanted to use, which is why I went with a Ride1Up 700. I'm very satisfied. You can get a 700 for under $1600 net if you...

Most but not all, and it can make a very big difference. Also, the morning temperature just before sunrise may be better for riding if it's an option. For example, Medford, OR shows it got to 115 degrees, but it's only 72 as I post this. I actually prefer it warmer than that for riding. lol...

I was talking about real air temperatures, not heat indexes or surface temperatures that are being referenced or pictured here.

I didn't say anything about 25mph, that was a previous poster, which I explained was using the old PAS system. However, I did hit 25mph on my way to 28mph lol 28mph with throttle only or PAS only or both. The point about 35mph is that at a certain point of speed, I would rather ride a...

Ahhh... ok, I don't have any lights like that or reflective vests.

My Ride1Up 700 has a built-in headlight and taillight, but I added an 800 lumen headlight that I bought off Amazon. It's pretty bright. I also ride mostly on rural low traffic roads.

Ride1Up has changed from speed based PAS to current/power based assist since that old review by Court. My current gen 700 will assist to 28 mph with throttle alone or with PAS with a well charged battery. I went with the 700 over the Core-5 because it comes with rack/fenders, a color display...

Not that strange. 700's from early last year worked very differently. My 700 will get PAS assist to 28 mph ghost pedaling with a well charged battery, even with throttle, but I've had it up to 35 mph going downhill. If I want to go faster than that, I'll just ride my motorcycle.

I ride for exercise, so when it gets over 100, I just ride late. I ride in the dark plenty.

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
