    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    We have loved the bike and ridden all over North America. On my recommendation a number of friends have also bought Ride1Up Lmt’ds. Their response to this problem makes me happy to buy from them again!

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    Just an FYI to all out there: Reported the problem to Ride1Up and, even though bike off warranty, they have offered my choice of shipping me a new frame or a 30% discount on any bike they sell. What great customer service!!!

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    Here is the broken frame. It is on the brake side of the chainstay, broken all through and all round the chainstay tube.

    Anybody ever have a frame break?

    My wife has a 1 1/2 year old Lmt”d that we both love. Put a lot of miles on it, on road and gnarly trails. Well this week the frame on the rear brake side dropout broke completely. Don’t know what caused it, but the bike is now shot. Anybody ever have this happen to an aluminum mtb frame...

    Rize RX Throttle Problem

    I have a ‘22 Rize RX with Bafang Ultra mid drive. Rode 3000 miles last year with no problems. Got tuneup at LBS before winter. When I took it out first time this spring, everything works fine EXCEPT…. Throttle only works intermittently. As in, throttle engages for about a second, cuts out...

    Rize RX first day

    Not to hijack your thread, but how did you find the Schwalbe’s for ease of mounting? I had some Big Apple’s on my old ebike, a Trek Powerfly, and Super Motos on my wife’s Ride1Up Lmtd, and as good as they were to ride, they were an absolute bear to get on and off rims.

    Rize RX first day

    I agree with Wanders’ comments. I actually switched out my tires for some more off-road worthy knobbies (Maxxis Minions), and I find I average 35-40 mile range with them.

    Rize RX first day

    … and, the older RX had a 48 volt battery system, not 52, so the difference not as great you might initially believe.

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    Took both bikes in for end of year tune ups at my LBS and the owner told me so. No slipping or missed shifts before that, he simply used a measuring tool and told me chain was stretched enough to warrant switching out. Prolly could have kept the original for another year, but I felt like putting...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    The cut off works well, but…. You do need be mindful when shifting. This is a take care of the gear thing, If you want your chain and rear cassette (especially the highest/smallest cog) to last, it is good to try to avoid putting massive torque loads on them when shifting. I have gotten in the...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    Hmmmm. Noise not bad at all on RX. MD with extra battery for 2399 is good. But. Smaller battery. No suspension seatpost. Lesser derailleur and only 7spd , not 9. Non-adjustable stem. Much less power. Also, BBS02 an older design. I went through the same mental process on these two models and...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    Very smooth. Much more than a torque sensor. Because of the power you do have to be mindful of proper shifting. You don’t want to take off from a standstill in top gear, don’t shift when pedaling hard or using throttle, etc. Good bike shifting habits are key to reducing chain and cog wear, as...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    Just re-read your last post and mebbe I misunderstood about speed in PAS 1. When my wife and I ride we generally go 18-20 mph, on 30-40 mile jaunts. This Fall we did a 110 mile section of the KATY trail in MO over two days. Carried our stuff in panniers and spent a night in hotel along the...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    With a full battery on level ground, I have easily gotten to 30 mph on throttle only. Pedaling and throttle in PAS1 on level ground I have gotten to 36mph. I have actually never tried to see how fast I can pedal in highest PAS. Point of clarification- the bike comes with 5 PAS levels, but you...

    Looking at the Rize RX for a commute bike, have questions

    I have the current version of the RX (2022) and love it. Got it Jan. ‘22 and put about 2,500 miles on it this past year. Here in WI, In Utah, Oregon, NM and MO. Riding up Jeep trails in the Rockies makes you feel like you are on a funicular train- it just keeps pulling. It has plenty of battery...

    2022 Rize RX geometry

    You’ll want to keep in mind that the 4” adjustable stem will change both stack and reach significantly. To put it into extreme examples: at 0 degrees reach will be extended by 4” and at 90, stack raised by the same amount. Been riding bikes almost 60 years and I think just 2 static measurements...
