The Ride1Up Roadster V2 has a stripped-back and very Affordable Electric Bike, urban single speed vibe and doesn’t even look like an e-bike at a glance, but the powerful motor that whirrs into action propelling you effortlessly up hills and into headwinds leaves you in no doubt whatsoever. And at $1,045 the fun-to-dollar ratio is very high.

The frame has a retro look with its straight tubes but it is cleverly designed to house the battery in the down tube. You wouldn’t know there’s a battery in there, which is great for the aesthetics, but it means you can’t whip off the battery and run the Roadster V2 as a standard pedal bike, as you can with some e-bikes, and there’s no provision for a range extender battery. However, the battery is replaceable. Reassuringly, Ride1Up says it plans to keep the Roadster model for years to come, and will also stock replacement batteries ($190 each) – but we’re talking 2-4 years and hundreds of charge cycles before you have to think about that.

Like the battery, the electric components are really neatly integrated, or even disguised. The controller on the bars just looks like a basic cycle computer with a black-and-white LCD screen and the wiring to the Shengyi 350w motor, which is in the rear hub, is tidily concealed under the chainstay.
