    Specialized Vado 4 or Ride1Up Prodigy V2

    I bought another Ride1Up bike. I've had very good customer support in the past. I like the value that DTC offers. I purchased Prodigy V2 XR. The lower efficiency factor of IGH persuaded me to go traditional derailleur route. The simplicity of chain/cassette matters to me. I also liked the cost...

    Any alternatives to the Ride1up lmt'd?

    My LMTD motor noise quieted down as I put miles on it. Around 400miles is when I really noticed it being quieter. At 4500 miles I opened the motor and lubricated the gears with lithium grease. I had my first flat tire and decided while the wheel was off to do lubrication service. It had minimal...

    Any alternatives to the Ride1up lmt'd?

    Motor is quiet. But when you're heavily pedaling at 28-31mph on PAS 5 100% 1000 watts power output, it can be a little noisy! But then the wind obliterates that motor noise. I have tried over a dozen different ebikes these past four years. Mid-drive and mostly hub drive. Some more expensive...

    Issue finding tubes for my 26 Ancheer bike

    You need 48mm valve. This is what I recommend. Then buy Slime and install in new tubes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003286038?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1

    Selling stuff and shipping.

    I too hate packing and shipping used ebike. I use Craigslist. Sold a dozen ebikes over the years. Easy to do and once sold, it’s gone and youve got the cash.

    1UP rack

    Most fenders can be accomodated with adjusting the wheel locking rods on the 1Up SuperDuty. I did it for my fenders on Ride1Up LMTD mounted on 1Up SuperDuty two bike rack. ,
