My Ride1up 700 has a shifter cable that has the black housing all the way down until the middle of the back of the bike. The housing ends and has a bare cable for a few inches, then goes back into the housing. I see this was common on bikes 20 years a go. At two bike shops (Trek and...

fyi, Just for references, I know a person who goes through about 15 chains a year on his bike. He does ride a lot. I didn't change my chain when I needed and now im in for a cassette, chain, front chain ring and shifter cable.

Yes.

I have a ride1up 700. The frame only comes in one size (big medium). It's to small so I have a longer stem and my seat all the way back. Their are other companys with the same frame that's branded to their company, that has Medium and a Large, so I know they make them. I would like to buy a...

Keep in mind going faster then 28 on a bike is not the same as that on say, a motorcycle. I've had my bike at 30mph and I slowed down. You want to regularly go faster on a cheaper priced bicycle, your asking for trouble. Be careful, only saying this because I care about you. The reason I...

I did a review when I first got my bike, then a thousand mile review and thought I'd update since I passed the 2,500 mile stage. The Ride1up 700 has performed flawless. After 2,500 miles no problems at all except a couple spokes broken. I noticed the new spokes I replace are softer. The stock...

Interesting. I was getting about 32 miles per charge and since I started using my charger that Mike_V critacized me for, I got 45.5 miles today. With a 260 pound rider I didn’t think that was possible. Not sure what else it could be because the only thing I did was change my charger.

Thank you for the update. I’ve had my bike for 28 days and I’m coming up on 700 miles so you’re just ahead of me. Before I bought my bike, I bought a Deore derailer also, but since mine shifts perfect, I never put it on. My bike shifted perfect right out of the box.

Nope, not on Facebook. I do check their Facebook page because it’s public but I can’t respond. I almost can’t get any real support other than from Kevin. I asked him how I could contact him but he never responded.

Thank you for the link. I wonder if ours are, “ Radius knitting needle spokes”? These come with copper nipples. I wonder if ours are copper? I was hoping to have the same nipples but I don’t know what size nipples with ours since there’s a whole bunch of different ones. They list four...

I was going for a ride yesterday and did a quick pre-check on everything and found a broken spoke in the back. Support lists “12 gauge, stainless steel spokes.” When I look on the Internet, most sites have between 6 and 15 different types of spokes. Single butted, double butted, triple butted...

The charger that comes with our bikes is the lowest sans charger they make. It’s actually for skateboards. The retail is $17.99. To get a higher quality charger with a fan and everything is not going cheap. Many times there are products made at the same factory that have different labels on...

No, 3A won’t hurt it. With these cells we can go up to 6A it but that’s about as high as you want to go. The “DC connector” would probably get too hot as it’s used on lower amperage units. I’d really like to get an inexpensive 4A with a fan but they really jump up in price. Hard to find a good...

I have a ride1up 700. This six hour 2M charger is ridiculous. I really like the 3A, 48v (54.6) Vruzend. Has a fan and everything for $34.99. I see Luna 48v, 3A mini charger has a 80%, 90%, 100% knob. I’ve heard bad reports with problems with Luna so I was wondering if there is anything like...

On my battery if I do anything but wait till the green lights on, I get horrible performance. It’s green light or nothing for me. I would guess that that means each cell is draining significantly faster than others. That doesn’t sound too good to me. That’s why I am ordering the 3A charger...

I underestimated the time to charge my battery. I woke up this morning with 90% battery. It’s been three hours and the green light hasn’t come on yet. It’s been having such a hard time balancing since I bought the bike. Hope this isn’t a indication of problems down the road. i’ve been waiting...

Wow! You did good getting 40 miles down to 44V. Kevin suggested 41.5 so you did super good. I get about 30 miles per charge and I go down to 42V. Your post title is, “Better battery remaining accuracy on the 700.” If your battery remaining is not accurate, why not adjust it to where it is...

500 mile update. Mike N I asked about the motor too loud. When I got the bike, the motor was very quiet. It got louder and now at 500 miles it’s so loud I can be 30 yards behind somebody on a path, and they turn around and look at me. I don’t need to yell out, “on your left” because they...

I have found if I don’t charge my bike up to 100%, the cells get out of balance pretty quick. Not good for the battery and not good for the performance. On my three cell electric RC airplanes, I get to see the voltages of each cell on my charger. If it takes three hours for my battery to...

I was very interested in this subject. I did a statistical analysis on people who ordered bikes and how many had problems. I am confident my findings were scientifically accurate. If I told you my number it would start an argument and one person says this the other person says that and you get...
