Buying a Ride1Up ebike? Click this link to support the channel: go.ride1up.com/SH9u (affiliate link) What do you think of the updates on the new Roadster V3? 👇*correction* Standover heights have been updated: 23.2", 30.5", 31.5" And the tires. They are 700x45C (28x1.70) Schwalbe G-One RS

I was bummed out when they discontinued the V2 but had reached out to Ride1Up and they did tell me that a V3 was on the way, this was just last week so to my surprise was shocked at how quickly this came out. I definitely plan on getting one in the belt drive version . I live in a very flat city and the belt drive class 3 city bike is a dream come true especially with the throttle that’s just icing on the cake. Can’t wait to get one. Nice review and great work Ride1up!

yeah bro the perfect ride, a lot of fun for a cheap price, also no maintenance, no gear wearing down because of the single speed, no dirty chain

I myself was bummed out when Ride 1 discontinued the V2 (Gravel) model

How do the class 1-3 work

This is the best lightweight ebike implementation i’ve seen so far. Respect! I wish it came in XL size for us big boys.

Man it looks good in black. All the other reviews, the paint was in mint. This might be my first ebike.

This is an incredibly good commuter. I mean they've nearly perfected the roadster with thses upgrades

@BobbytheDogg Ай бұрын

mine is on the way...can't wait. thanks for the great video. it really helped.

@troywalt4834 Ай бұрын

Looks so much better in black; disapointed you didn't reviewed the belt one, no maintenance and no dirty oil is a must also no wear on the parts and much less parts to worry about breaking or needing to repair, maintain or tune

Finally, someone shows what the throttle can do! Great video thank you

Great review. Please make a comparison between this and the velotric T1 st plus. Also would you mind weighing it, another reviewer weighed it at 44 lbs with batt

@mancello Ай бұрын

Tires are 700x45c.

@mancello Ай бұрын

I've had the Roadster V2 for over 3 years. I like it a lot. All of the upgrades on the V3 are nice except for that proprietary stem. I would want to swap out that stem for a suspension stem, but with those cables going into the stem, it's not such a quick replacement. That's my only gripe.

@RedBeardedRabbit Ай бұрын

Yep this is such a deal-breaker! Otherwise looks like a sweet bike for the price (although I’m still very skeptical of support from many of these DTC companies like R1U)

@lowb35 Ай бұрын

that's very similar to the integrated bar/stem in the CF Racer1, but at least with this bike you can adjust or even swap out the bars if needed, which you can't do on the CF Racer1 without even more work. The slightly bigger tires should help make it a more plush ride than the outgoing model though even without a suspension stem.

@GarbageMan2025 Ай бұрын

I'd love to see a side by side with the pedal assist with a chain drive and a belt drive, esp for max speed under full power and assist. I'm in the market for a spare bike for casual/social riding but I absolutely do not want a chain. Very concerned about the off brand belt drive and no gears on this one though. Thinking I may need to do a mid drive with a cvt out back. But I love the sleek sleeper look of this bike and the well done cable management.

@DD-xx8wh Ай бұрын

great detailed review!...what mileage did you experience, and what would you guess you might add with the available range extender battery

@DM-fp8uw Ай бұрын

Looks like it was much better than the ST1 Plus on the hill climb test.

A suspension seat post is a must for commuters.

@evilbollweevil1 Ай бұрын

Great review! Please make a head-to-head comparison of this and the Prodigy V2. Which features you think are better? What upgrades you’re looking for on the PV2 in the future? Differences on motor, pedaling feel, shifting, etc.? Just curious about your thoughts on both. Have a great day!

@larrylem3582 22 күн бұрын

Does the hub have any drag when not being powered? I'd like to see you pick up the rear end, spin the wheel and see how it coasts.

@EbikeEscape 19 күн бұрын

Some drag just due to the weight

@user-qx1gj4uk2o Ай бұрын

why no adjustable stem?????

@Joker-ig8im 8 күн бұрын

Seat stem?

@Mattball82 Ай бұрын

I’m looking to get an e-bike for commuting to work about 7 miles each way. This is a potential option. On days that it is raining, would water splashing from the ground be a big issue on those wires underneath the frame? I can imagine the wheel spitting water there consistently if it’s rainy.

Is the removable battery able to be charged separately?

@EbikeEscape 16 күн бұрын

Yes

@jasonburnside3626 Ай бұрын

Would you choose the 10 speed hands down over the belt drive?

@EbikeEscape Ай бұрын

I'm normally a belt drive guy but the Deore is so nice to have and it should hold up much better. I think that's the route I'd go in this instance, especially since we have some rolling hills where I live - it's not always flat. The throttle though does partially alleviate the concern with a single gear.

@ebikeescape - did you weigh the bike or are you using the manufacturer info for the 39 pound weight? EBR says it weighs 44 pounds.

@EbikeEscape Ай бұрын

I trusted their weight on the website but maybe I need to start weighing...

@SofiaisSunshine Ай бұрын

What happens in two years when that battery dies and the bike is discontinued?

@Mattball82 Ай бұрын

I’ve been thinking the same shopping for these. The website has a spare for sale, but it says for V2, which is discontinued 😒

@SofiaisSunshine Ай бұрын

@@Mattball82 yeah that’s why I decided to just convert our bikes with the cyc photon mid drive unit. It will make it way easier to get new batteries in the future without having to buy a whole new bicycle. External batteries that mount to the bottle cage mounts make way more sense to prevent future obsolescence.
