    Tire reccomendation

    I can't find any specs that say what type of rim I have.. The bike is a Rize RX. Last thing I want to do is blow a hundred bucks on tires and have them not fit. I'm having similar issues trying to find a front chain ring with more teeth that will fit. I've contaced Rize about the chain ring and...

    Tire reccomendation

    I really likes the looks of the super moto X... I see the tire has wires in the beads. How do I tell if these are compatible with my wheels? The specialized tire looks good too but slightly narrower, that might be good, less worry of fender rub

    Tire reccomendation

    Johnny Watts appear to have knobbies but maybe they are quieter than my Kendas? I don't have tubeless rims

    Tire reccomendation

    I have a Rize RX that came with 27.5 x2.35 tires and the bike has fenders.. The tires are Kenda knobbies and howl on pavement. I'm looking for a tire that has more of a street tread in the same size that will clear the fenders. I found one set on amazon that's 27.5 x 2.40 but I worry those might...

    Going to document my weight loss

    I'm gaining weight. I stopped riding my acoustic bike and ride my ebike with bafang ultra 1,000 watt mid drive motor in the highest level of assist. I don't work at all but man am I having fun!

    Rize bike quality

    I've had my Rize RX for two weeks now. I also own a Haibike trekking with Yamaha motor. Of course I'm absolutely addicted to the bafang ultra motor on the Rize bike but the Haibike is a higher quality bike. The shimano hydraulic brakes on the Haibike are MUCH better than the tektro's on the...

    Battery Range on new 52 volt 15 amp Rize RX

    Yep, at that point I'd be looking for a battery rebuilder although it's tempting to buy another in frame battery now but too much $$$$

    Battery Range on new 52 volt 15 amp Rize RX

    UPDATE: After owning the bike for 2 weeks, I'm not getting the second battery. I can easily do 30 miles w/o working hard at all and have some battery capacity left over and even when we take the bikes to our favorite bike paths, we don't go further than 30mi. which for us is at least a 3 hour ride.

    Bafang Ultra motor for the ultimate riding experience

    Correct me if I'm wrong, the cobra pro is $3,999? The m620 peaks at 1500w in stock form but can be pushed to 2,000 with no ill effects (so I've read) Not sure how you would do that though

    tools needed for front sprocket removal, rear cassette removal and rear lock ring removal Rize RX

    I was told I need a 16 point socket for the lock ring on the front sprocket but I see there are different sizes. I have the Rize RX. Which size do I need? I know I need a chain whip to remove the rear cassette but there's a lock ring on that too and there are different sizes. Can someone tell m...

    THIS RIZE IS NOT PRIZE

    I just got a rize rx and I'm not complaining.. Sure, I would have rather had a 5 or 6 thousand dollar full suspension bike with high quality components but I got pretty much what I expected for the money.. No shipping damage and everything works as it should. I'm not a shill for Rize bikes...

    How I was treated by Rize Bikes

    FWIW, my PAS does the same thing and I consider it a safety issue. When you stop pedaling, the motor stays ON for a half to one second. I had read others had the same issue so I was prepared for it and I can get used to it but IMO, there's no way that should happen. The box my bike came in had...

    How I was treated by Rize Bikes

    I just received my RIze RX today. A petite female was driving the FedEx truck.. She slid it out the front door of the truck instead of using the liftgate on the back and the two of us carried it into my garage. I believe the box weighed 94 lbs. There was one small tear in the box but zero damage...

    Bafang Ultra motor for the ultimate riding experience

    After 4 years of riding a Haibike with Yamaha PW 250 watt motor I have seen the light. With my new RIze RX I can go up hills at 16mph that I used to only be able to go up at 8 mph working fairly hard. Now I don't break a sweat. I wish I had bought this bike sooner. I've noticed most ebike with...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    Just bought a new Rize RX for $2899. Seemed like a decent value. It's not top shelf components but man, after riding 250 watts for the last 4 years on my Yamaha/Haibike I'm all smiles.. The ultra motor is just amazing.. The only thing I don't like is motor run on after you stop pedaling. I'll...

    My 2nd ebike.. this time with killer motor

    Got the Rize RX today and out of the box and riding in about 2 hours. The bafang ultra motor is just incredible. Hills I used to go up at 8 mph I now go up at 16mph without even thinking about it. The throttle is ridiculous. I don't plan on using it much but it is a lot of fun. Quality of the...

    2020 Rize RX adding rear view mirror

    I agree... One thing though..... I wanted a bafang ultra and this bike has one and the cost is very competitive. I REALLY wanted the FLX blade 2.0 which has the ultra motor but also cost almost twice as much (also doesn't come with a mirror)

    2020 Rize RX adding rear view mirror

    I don't have the bike yet but the mirror arrived today and to my surprise, it's a bar end mount now... Rize must have realized that the old style had poor placement

    Battery Range on new 52 volt 15 amp Rize RX

    I just ordered a Rize RX and was bummed out to see it has just the 15 AH battery instead of the 19AH one.. That said, my typical daily ride is just 14mi. so I'm sure that won't be a problem. The problem will be on long rides where we take the bikes to destination bike paths.. I may have to...
