I can’t comment on mounting anything to the drop bars because I swapped them out for flats. As far as the power cutting out that’s not true. It will provide assistance up to 28 mph, then the motor cuts off. I‘ve never experienced any motor cut out with my bike until I hit that 28 mph speed. I’ve...

Rear wheel has 36 spokes and the front 28 I believe. It’s either 28 or 32, I forget. Rear is definitively 36 spokes. The Cannondale is a very nice bike. I’ve looked at it and the Salsa Skitch. Both bikes are more than what I wanted to spend so I took a chance with the CF Racer. For what you pay...

Now have full SRAM kit. SRAM NX cassette 11-50, GX AXS derailleur, Force 1 Carbon cranks, GX chain, and HS2 rotors. The only things stock on this bike now are the electronics, rims/tires, and the seat post. The flat bar conversion was a PITA. I used an FSA ACR headset, FSA SMR/ACR stem 100mm...

No more drop bars.

At first I wanted them to cover them under warranty but they refused. Rather than argue I was willing to pay full price for a 52v battery so I could have at least one to use between the two bikes. They supposedly can’t get them so it is what it is. Bikes are gone now.

I’ll research that but my bike was 52V 60 amps peak.

48v won’t work in my bike. It’s programmed for 52v. I just got tired of dealing with the whole situation. I’ve had so many e-bikes from various manufacturers like Sondors, Specialized, Luna, Vintage Electric and RIDE1UP. The Hydra’s are the only bikes that gave me this problem. I was just done...

I parted them out because I couldn’t get replacement 52v batteries from WW. Mine were defective and wouldn’t hold a charge for more than two or three days. WW fixed the one but it started acting up again soon after. I wanted to buy, at full cost, brand new batteries but they can’t get them. I’m...

Join the club. I had two WW Hydra’s which I parted out and lost money on.

Conversion to SRAM NX/GX AXS is done! The GX shifter is temporarily mounted just for setup and tuning. The front brake lever hits it so I can’t ride the bike that way. I have some SRAM blips coming on Monday which I’ll mount on the underside of the flat part of the handlebars. They will be my...

One can never have too many bikes. I’m currently building a TI monster fat tire gravel bike. Next will be a super light street fighter bike. I have a disease for which there is no cure.

I have seven bikes including this one. Long term reliability is still a question but the parts are common and the bike is easily serviced. Nothing on here is unique or unusual. s*it a complete new battery is only $230.00. I say go for it! https://ride1up.com/product/cf-racer1-electric-bike-battery/

Yeah I’m not changing the handlebars. It’s too costly and a pita. I have the ergonomics set the way I like it. After todays ride the only upgrades I’ll be doing is to the drive train for better gearing and electric shifting.

Different style of bike. All depends on what you want.

Ride1UP CF Racer1. Weighs 27lbs for the road version and 28lbs for the gravel. Has a 250w 42nm torque motor. Small 36v battery. Range 15 to 30 miles but a range extender battery is available. Price is $2295.00.

Good info, Thanks! The bike came with Schwalbe E-One tires in 700X32. Pleasantly surprised on how they performed. Going to keep them on until they need replacing.

Mine is the road version. I got Schwalbe Super Moto’s but in 700X38 vs the 700X32 that come on the bike. What size and tire did you buy if you don’t mind me asking?

I got new tires for mine but haven’t put them on yet. The tires on the bike are excellent and the rolling resistance is very low. It just rolls and rolls and rolls. Grip is excellent. They are skinny but I may just keep them on for now. Replace them once I need new tires.

Gonna keep this post short. Did a real ride today, 12 miles round trip. For 8 of the 12 the bike wasn’t even powered on. It’s that easy to ride. Really enjoyed my ride today. Going for a longer ride tomorrow. My conclusion, this bike is a keeper. You simply cannot buy anything like this for the...

I actually raised it after that photo. It was too low but I didn’t have any tools with me on the ride to adjust it. I have it a little higher than the stem now.
