Hello, fellow Valley of the sun rider! I finally found a fat tire ebike for my brother who wants passenger capabilities for his young daughter. Only to find out the Ride1up Rift is already discontinued! I have heard that Step thru bikes can have a tendency to go into a "Death Wobble". I was just curious if you have experienced any such occurrences ? Hopefully Not, As I may be able to acquire a used model. I don't know why the bike is already discontinued , most reviews I've seen are great and the specs are great also. Thanks for any info!

My wife and I have never experienced the "death wobble" on the step through version ourselves. Strangely though, it wobbled like crazy when a friend of ours rode the bike. We couldn't figure out why it would only wobble with her on it.
@leeonthegrass
@leeonthegrass 2 ай бұрын
@@RiverbedRides Glad to hear you have not had much of a wobble problem. From what I can tell the death wobble is often caused from unequal weight distribution. When more weight is placed on the rear tire, the front tire loses traction and the wobble is induced. Sometimes poor design and frame flex is the problem, sometimes both. Hopefully you don't experience any problems with your bike. I will keep an eye out for you at Tempe Town lake and maybe someday we can discuss your awesome bike in person. Thanks for the info!

I just got a rift and did a range test yesterday. ended up at 42 miles before i switched over to my second battery. i didnt run my first one down all the way to 0 either, only until i saw a dip in power. I stayed in PAS 5 going 28 the whole time. I think not staying in the highest gear nets you more human power and offsets the battery usage to get you more range.
