    How to change rear tire if you have a flat on the road?

    I've been flipping hydraulic brake bikes upside down for almost 20 years without a problem. With ebikes, you need a couple of blocks of 2x4 under the grips so controls don't get bent or broken.

    Parts left over after assembling LMT'D

    #5 is a scuff protector for your seat in case the bike falls over. Look underneath the rear of the seat. Pushes right into place.

    MTB Style Handlebars for LMT’D?

    I have Limited and a 700. My wife has a 700 step thru. I do not like the swept back handlebars on the step thru. I have gone to Soma Dream Riser handlebars and they feel just about right. About two inches of rise and 25 degrees of back sweep - which is about halfway between the straight...

    loving my Prodigy

    If your bike is that unbalanced, consider checking several things. Are your cables for brakes, throttle or motor pulling the bar because they are tight? Make sure your front wheel is properly in the dropouts, and not tilted. Finally, check your headset. Too tight? Too loose? Pick the front...

    Atom x 5 2018 cut out

    Somebody discovered on the Atom Lynx 6 Pro that the wire harness inside the frame had a sticky pin that would allow the display to continue to show but would cut power to the motor. If you remove the battery and look inside the frame where the battery contacts connect to a wire harness, you...

    Earbuds and wind noise

    These help cut the wind noise, but are usually used to keep your ears warm during cold weather. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154704228414 I have some of the Ear Grips and some of the 180s, and feel the Ear Grips are just a little bit more comfortable. They fit a little looser than the 180s.

    Ride1Up Ltd Upgrades that work

    I recently ordered and installed a Manitou Markhor fork on my Limited. I initially found it at TakeAHikeShop.com and ordered it. I still have not received it, nor have I heard back from them after I phoned them, texted them and emailed them. My suggestion is to stay away from them. I am...

    Ride1Up Ltd Upgrades that work

    Here is another fork that comes in about the same weight and should fit our Limited. The good thing is that it comes in at $300 at one seller, and $264 at another - about $100 cheaper than the Rock Shox...

    Western North Carolina hates electric mountain bikes.

    I was out in Brevard last year in May, riding the DuPont Forest trails. Nobody said a word to me about my ebike. I was riding with non-ebike friends. Probably put on 40 miles over two days, all single track. My advice - just ride until someone official tells you otherwise.

    Another Prodigy Review - Prodigy XC

    I'm going to add my 2 cents here. I currently have three bikes - two Ride1Up bikes and a Brose equipped mountain bike from BH/EasyMotion. The Ride1Up 700 came with a cadence sensor based on speed, which I later converted to a power based controller. This made it much more rideable in my...

    Specs for Handlebar Stem Replacement

    Most steer tubes are 1 1/8" or 28.6mm, but your handlebars can be one of three sizes. 31.8mm is very common, while 28.4 was the old standard and still used on many lower cost bikes or ones that won't be under a lot of strain (like catching air on a mountain bike). Sometimes you see newer...

    First e-bike for commuting with steep roads

    I agree with the folks recommending a mid drive bike. I have no experience with Bafang motors but do have a mountain bike with a Brose motor (made in Germany). That bike will climb almost anything within reason. I also have two hub drive bikes with claimed torque of 60 ft-lbs and 100 ft-lbs...

    I need a battery for my BH Atom X Lynx 6 27.5 Pro (2018-2019)

    Look at some of my posts, prob in the BH area. Contact Lukasz Kuzniarz at BH in Spain. He got me a new axle under warranty last year about this time. I put his contact info in a post.

    First Brose ebikes for my wife and I

    Beautiful bike. My MTB also has a Brose motor and I am still thrilled with it - 1900 miles 22 months. Motor has been perfect so far. Enjoy your ride!

    Ride1UP 700 series ok sizewise for 6'2"?

    I am 6' tall, 32 inch inseam. The 700 fits me pretty well. Be sure you get a step over and not a step thru - my wife has a step thru and it is definitely too small for me to ride. You might need to buy a longer seatpost, but I don't think it will be necessary. The adjustable stem helps fit...

    A comparison between the Limited and the 700

    I want to thank GenX for his remarks. I am in FL at the moment and have had a chance to ride a bit more. After reading his comments, I paid attention to the difference between throttle without pedaling, and throttle with pedaling. It turns out that my throttle can vary the amount of wattage...

    A very disorganized, 9-month, 700-mile, Ride1Up Series 700 Review

    Very nice review. Thank you for putting it up, helping other people even though you won't have yours anymore. I can understand where you come from, since I have a 700 (June 2020), a Ride1Up Limited (torque sensor and hub drive) and a Brose equipped mountain bike (mid drive with Brose torque...

    A comparison between the Limited and the 700

    Another note - AtomicSans put up a lengthy review recently. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/a-very-disorganized-9-month-700-mile-ride1up-series-700-review.47166/ Her comments on the throttle are now understandable to me. Its not the throttle, its the controller that made her...

    A comparison between the Limited and the 700

    I just want to add to my initial review because I have recently swapped out the controller for a newer, power based controller from R1U - same as they use in the current 700 series. I've put about 30 miles on it so far. Thoughts are stream of consciousness. I bought the controller from R1U...
