Ride1Up, known for its commitment to delivering high-performance electric bikes at budget-friendly prices, has just released its latest innovation—the CF Racer1. Priced under $2500, this single speed ebike, offered in a gravel and road bike edition, builds on the success of Ride1up’s signature Roadster model. We’ve been big fans of the Roadster since day one so we’re thrilled at the prospect of a new and improved model that significantly raises the bar in this ebike category.
Boasting an ultra-light carbon fiber frame and premium SRAM components, the CF Racer 1 strikes a perfect balance between durability and agility, catering to those who crave speed and ride simplicity.
