    definition of the word accessory since they don't know what it means.  Isomething added to the bike not an essential part for it to work.
    Jon-Paul W.

    My brother gave me his DRT and I loved the bike. I was riding it home one day and the bike just shuts off. I bought a new controller that didn't fix it. I went to buy a new screen and on the website they didn't have a selection for DRT model. I called and asked if the screen was the same for regular model as the DRT. the person didn't seem to know for sure but says yes. I went back on website and they had added the same screen for DRT SO I bought a new screen. When it arrives I install it and bike turns powers on. As I'm going through the settings I noticed that it didn't seem the same. I was able to put on off road but would turbo wasn't working only said eco which original screen did not. Next day I go to ride it and I put throttle to make bike just to go at a crawl and I stopped bike to ask my daughter something I turn around bike off and won't power on again. I called customer service tell them the issue. I say the screen they sent me isn't the correct one and is faulty. I'm expecting them to say sure we will send you another one. Nope they don't allow returns on accessories. The controller and screen are parts the bike needs to operate and can't work with out them. They want to label them as accessories so they don't have take responsibility for selling faulty parts. That can't be legal. Instead of doing what's right they want me to send them pictures of the bike and wiring so they can evaluate the picture and make a decision on how to proceed. I took it to a bike shop and he was able to Hotwire the bike to bypass screen and the bike works. The screen is the problem and they want me to spend another $120 for I'm already knowing they send the same one that doesn't go to the DRT. I'm really disappointed in the customer service here I love the bike and it sucks that it's just sitting in my garage hoping I can find a Drt screen online somewhere.

    Went in to test ride a bike, walked out with a low-mileage showroom model without having to order or assemble anything! Thank you, Rudy, for the good experience!

    After a ton of research online and video reviews, I narrowed my decision to a couple offerings from Ride1Up. Chill vibe in store. Zach is very knowledgeable and patient. Overall the experience was great and I was very glad to give my business to a local brand doing some awesome things in the eBike scene.

    I have the Portola. That has to be the prefect folding E Bike. It is well made with top end parts. Its even easy to ride without the E part. Amazing smooth 8 gear is as good at it gets. I had an issue recently that I took to the shop at San Diego Ave. And they fixed me right up. Its nice to know the support is there. To me a game changer. Now I'm looking at the new TrailRush. It's the one I'll get for the mountains with the Portola for the beach. Great company, Good support and good quality bikes for a great price.

    Roadster V3 (and a kid with a new bike!)

    I've had a flawless experience with Ride1Up San Diego since I first visited their shop in August 2025. Zac must have spent a couple hours on test rides of several different bikes for me that day, before I settled on a Large frame Roadster V3. He has also been available via text in the months since, for advice and technical support. When I want to adjust/repair things myself, he answers questions, but when I wanted him to tune the bike and repair a rear flat last weekend, he did it in one day. I was so happy that I wanted to tip him, but there was no electronic mechanism for that, so I'm writing him this review instead. I hope a few more people buy bikes from him because of it. Highly recommend the Roadster V3 btw. I commute 8 miles each way to work and it's amazing!

    Zach and Rudy are the best. Took a test ride on a Revv 1 FS on a Sunday morning and made the purchase that night due in part to Zach being so welcoming and answering all my questions. Rudy gave me some great recommendations on mirrors to get. Great team in place here! If you're looking for a new E-Bike this is the spot to go to! Thanks guys!

    CF Racer1, gravel version in Rainbow black/gloss, size small
    Ulrich G.

    Best bike experience! I'm an active person that has been training and participated in various triathlons, 70.3 IM, century rides and with turning soon 61, decided it's time to find an alternative e-Road or Gravel bike that gives me the boost when I needed but still lets me enjoy being active in group rides with others w/o feeling completely exhausted when joining faster rider groups. I spent a good amount of time before Thanksgiving to look at various brands and options in the market and there are plenty to choose from. I liked a lot of the options but my budget was not to spend $5k or more on a nice carbon e-bike. I count myself very fortunate that I landed on the Ride1Up website, when I found the CF Racer1 e-road or gravel bike model. I was skeptical as I have never heard about them before and I have been riding many different brands from Specialized over Trek, Canyon, Cannondale, Obrea, Scotts to name a few. So my quality and ride expectations were high and after a first test ride (I'm fortunate to live in San Diego where the Ride1Up HQ is), I was more than impressed. Jonathan and Rudy were both super helpful, very knowledgeable and made me very comfortable with the Ride1Up CF racer bike and brand experience. Fast forward, giving the incredible price at no noticeable shortcuts on the bike quality and bike components, I was sold and decided to order online the CF Racer1 (still unsure if I go for the Road or Gravel bike version). The final tipping point for me to go with the gravel version was additional YouTube reviews that I found and Jonathan's input saying the gravel doesn't really give any disadvantage over the road version (1mph faster) but gives the rider the benefit of both world, using as a road or gravel bike depending on the terrain and riders like. Delivery experience: I can't say I was more impressed and delighted with the solid shipping and out of the box experience. The bike was in miraculous condition and the assembly was fun and easy for my daughter and son to help. I was impressed how everything was perfectly tuned, and the small size fits me perfectly (I'm 5.4). I love the color and it looks amazing in sunlight. The only thing I noticed was a small chain rattle noice when shifting in lower gears. I could have tried to adjust the rear derailleur myself but decide to call and bike instead to Jonathan at the Ride1Up store, who was more than happy to check and realign. Riding experience: I went for my first ride with my wife (very strong rider that usually rides +200k/Randonneur) and boy was I happy how the bike performs and fits me. I love how smooth the transition is from biking with your own strength to using the pedal assist. We went for a 45miles bike ride with some +2k elevation (one short stretch 20%) and I used exactly just 1/2 of the battery and could easily see myself riding 90 miles before using up the battery. Even without the pedal assist the bike runs so smoothly (thx to the gravel tires and carbon frame) and fast! Given my riding style is still very involved, some others might see a shorter range but I felt not exhausted at all and still got some good exercise and a lot of fun factor out of my first ride ;) I can't wait to go on my next ride and although this is the longest review I have ever written I wanted to share this very positive experience and help others that maybe unsure as I was to feel very comfortable with buying the CF Racer1 bike. Job well done Ride1Up and big compliments to the San Diego Ride1Up team Jonathan and Rudy - you guys rock! Sizing: I'm 5.4 feet, 138lb and this small size bike fits me like a glove. Beautiful color, Rainbow black/gloss. I did minor adjustments to the seat height and moved a little forward. I have some tips for improvements (like other professional reviewers pointed out) I.e. location of the push buttons, adding an easy cable disconnect for the motor to help with flat tire repairs in the rear.

    Rift Bike

    Our experience at Ride1UP was top notch. We received hands on friendly customer service. After test riding two different bikes, we purchased two Rift bikes, and the value exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Ride1UP for your bike needs. Thank you Rudy!!

    After purchasing 4 bikes online from Ride1Up, we stopped by the store on a trip to San Diego. This was our first experience with their team and Zac couldn't have represented the brand any better. He answered all of our questions about our bikes and helped us in purchasing some accessories. We've taken the bikes out a few times already as a family and they have been an absolute blast. The Revv1 and DRT range is shockingly far. Check out YouTube reviews of the bikes and you'll understand how they are beating the competition. Highly recommend Ride1Up!

I was envisioning myself in bed to read, nap, and scroll on my phone but Gavin had other ideas. He enjoyed the breaks in the room but wanted to do things. I don't blame him. He noticed this place as we were walking to get lunch earlier. We ended renting a surrey. It's meant for 2, both would need to pedal but the left side had the real steering wheel. Even when it was Gavin's turn to "drive," I still spun the dummy wheel though I knew it served no purpose. It was instincts. The path we took was along the waterfront which is the only path allowed. It was difficult to maneuver because there were a lot of people and a lot of people that are inconsiderate, too. Like a family of 6 walking side by side? Who are your parents that never taught you basic manners?! Service was nice. They hold your ID until the rental is returned. Gavin had fun. A helmet is mandatory for kids under 18 (free). All you pay is the rental for the bike itself. I'm not sure when will be our next cruise but we will definitely try this again but early in the morning so we can bike freely w/o people.

It was $15 bucks for an hour which in my opinion should be cheaper for renting a rusty bike but this is California haha. I guess I'm helping to pay that top tier space rent. I'd pay it again and love riding down here by the coast! There is always going to be loads of people down here and if you're not a confident rider, I wouldn't come here to ride a bike. There is so much going on, from kids riding, skating, blowing bubbles, adults riding, skating, and blowing bubbles. It's such a magical spot, it's always brought a huge smile to my face walking or riding down here! I use to come when you could ride scooters lol and one time a friend of mine collided with a bicyclist and she broke some bones. Needless to say, just be careful and if you're not advanced, a helmet would definitely be recommended.
