Ride1Up Ebike Reviews
Ride1Up was founded in 2018 by Kevin Dugger and is headquartered in San Diego, California. Ride1Up ebikes are known for offering premium components at disruptive prices, especially in the commuter category. Their mission emphasizes providing high-value ebikes without excess marketing fluff or inflated prices, appealing to riders who want performance over branding.
Their most recognized models include the 700 Series, LMT’D, Turris, and Revv 1. Ride1Up bikes typically include high-speed performance, torque sensors, and lightweight frames. They specialize in commuter ebikes, city bikes, and performance-oriented hybrids, with the occasional moped-style model like the Revv 1.
Ride1Up is positioned in the mid-tier value segment — higher quality than budget brands while still direct-to-consumer to cut costs. They sell entirely through their ecommerce storefront, avoiding dealer markup and offering aggressive component specs for the price.
