Also off topic but regarding the resale value, I bought a Lectric XP for 900, painted it and put some nice accessories on it, changed the freewheel, handle bars, grips etc. Sold it for 1200 and bought a Core 5 for 1150. Definitely won’t be doing that with a kit bike!

Hey all. Thanks for all the thoughts. So although the fork certainly has some issues and is not true, turned out the primary issue was the washers mentioned by Ride1up. The REASON however was the bike never had any lol. LBS were happy to provide some better quality nuts and they had the washers...

Thanks all for the info. When I get the new hanger installed, (could do it myself but Ride1up will pay for it) I’ll get the shop to try and detail the cause of the wonky wheel and then go from there.

Yeah disc brakes and seems ok, doesn’t rub but certainly not anything great. I’ll take a look at this then thank you.

I highly doubt you could get a good kit, battery and underlying bike for 1200. Aside from the fact that you get integrated battery and cabling, and a 1 year (limited) warranty covering the whole thing and the way each part interacts with another. A cheapy bafang 750w kit is 500-600+, plus a...

I agree with you. Getting all of the bike I got for 1150, and having some QC issues is kind of expected. On top of that, selling bikes with such small margins (I imagine compared to the big companies) means they can’t afford to just send new parts out to everyone that asks for one. They need to...

better angle maybe. Also, no washers on either side of the fork, certainly didn’t come with any. Do you guys have washers on yours? Ride1up seems to think I should do.

I’ve been around 30mph all day today and no issues, no wobble. I live in Chicago so no hills near me!

I did that already but thank you anyway 😊 the bars are set to 20/40/60/80/95% of total capacity now, which is MORE helpful but still not ideal.

I agree, especially seeing that bolt mount being skewed. Looks like manufacturing defect. I said that to mechanic but he disagreed.

Yeah im not trying to start a drama, and if functionally the fork is fine then I’ll be fine to live with it. I’ll double check with the LBS then to get a proper diagnosis.

For anyone thinking about this bike, do not buy this bike! It’s $1900! Insane. The Ride1up LMTD it’s $1900, great company and bike. I have the Core5 which does 32MPH. Ariel Rider XClass with the 52v system and 2000w peak is like $2000( 2100 on sale right now) maybe? With a 17mah battery. That...

Hey all, just wondering what your thoughts are. Bike arrived couple of days ago, as mentioned above. They sent out a new hanger, but said the fork is fine this way. The LBS said that it should not be this way and should be replaced. Ride1up said the following: Regarding the assembly of the...

The core 5 has the KD21C display. Three buttons on the left side of the display. Yeah any info appreciated. I went for 20 mile ride this morning, using PAS 5 and others, and I had a full battery bar in the display. Obviously the battery is not full so this is useless information. I then took...

Hello again all, setting up my core 5 I noticed you can only view battery capacity by the bars on the display. Fine but I thought I read somewhere that someone changed some settings to allow the display to show precise voltage? Could be wrong. Also any other must do tips are welcome, I...

I have a decent Joe Blow floor pump that will put me right on 85psi, but again….a man and his gadgets…

I disagree, the very tiny contact patch of a bike tire means that a small deviation from ideal PSI can mean a very different rolling resistance. Not everyone rides these bikes for lesuire. If I can get a minute or two off my commute to work buy dialing it in just right, then I certainly will.

Hey all, Just ordered my Core-5 but the fenders and rack are out of stock. The fenders look nice but are nothing fancy, I was wondering if there are any alternatives anyone would recommend? I wouldn’t mind the short style, you know that MTBs have under the seat some times, but ideally over the...

Yeah so nice. The Babymaker V2 I have to say is a little sexier 😉 but it’s almost twice the price. Ride1up have made themselves the quality budget go to and they should stay that way. Look at the success of the Lectric XP. I just ordered the slate blue core 5, it gives me what the roadster...

Also interested in how accurate these are. I do use the pinch method but gadgets…..
