    Biktrix Swift - 1000W, torque sensor, easy-step, 21ah battery

    I've been trying to find out how this might fit a 5'7" (170 cm) person like myself. Any thoughts on this? The specs on the bike look great and I'm just in that weird sort of in-between-frame-sizes spot. Any more reviews/reactions to your bike after a few more weeks? I'm also intrigued by the...

    Question about range on the 700 with pedaling

    Even if you were at 50% battery after 29 miles, that's really great range. And 14.5 MPH with 1900 feet of climbing and a headwind is fast on a 60 pound bike! I imagine that even on my laziest of rides I'll be able to make it to school and back on one charge. Really looking forward to getting...

    Another happy 700 series customer

    Any thoughts on the XR frame for a 5'6" or 5'7" guy? I love the XR for looks and probably for frame stiffness but I really don't want it to be too big. I ordered an ST but I can still change it, so if you have any thoughts please let me know! Thanks in advance

    Frame size for a 5'6" or 5'7" rider

    Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it. I want to get this right because returns are a headache and everyone loses money in the process. These kids have a cool company and I'd like to see it succeed, and I certainly don't want to cut into their margins. Much obliged :)

    Frame size for a 5'6" or 5'7" rider

    Like most newbies, I'm inclined to pollute the boards with lots of questions. Sorry about that. If anyone out there is in the bike-frame-awkward height range of 5'6" or 5'7" ish, I'd love your advice on Ride1up frame sizes. At this height you're typically too small for large frames and too...

    Question about range on the 700 with pedaling

    Getting a second charger is a good idea. I'll add that to my list of purchases! I think I'm just having the expectant-dad jitters, and when I actually get the bike I'll calmly work my way through all these details. It's rough to have to wait more than a month for the bike to show up! Thanks...

    Question about range on the 700 with pedaling

    When I'm in good shape, I can average 15 MPH over the 17-mile commute on my flat-bar road bike. That's working pretty hard, actually, because there's a big hill at the end. I'm hoping with the 700 that I can up that speed to 20 MPH (with pedaling) and do it with significantly less effort and...

    Headlight upgrade on 700?

    Has anyone upgraded their headlight to something really bright? I'm used to riding with 600+ lumens at night and I'd love that kind of brightness on an integrated light. I can always clamp a cygolite on the bars but that's not nearly as cool. Any advice on aftermarket lights and your experience...

    Question about range on the 700 with pedaling

    Thanks, that's really encouraging! I can't wait to get the bike and put some miles on it. Appreciate the help! Steve

    Question about range on the 700 with pedaling

    Hey all, m completely new to ebikes and I'm really looking forward to getting my 700 ST in July! I have questions about range and battery life so I'm hoping y'all can help. My commute is 17 miles each way, and it's moderately hilly (I'm in Hunterdon County, NJ, if that helps anyone). I'm an...
