Extra battery cover is a bit of a pain.
Price drop on sight to $1,895.00, It would be nice to see a review on the PRODIGY V2 with CDX Gates Carbon Belt Drive and Enviolo CVT Trekking Hub. Cost more but it looks more durable over 1600 miles.
A chain is very durable. Easier to maintain and remove the rear wheel as well
@@reallifescience2069 A good belt will last the life of the bike and require no maintenance. A chain is good for a few thousand miles and needs frequent oiling. The downside is a little less efficient energy transfer and no possibility of a gear set.
The color in the right lighting is stunning.
Couple of areas that I didn’t see addressed were the hill climb & seat comfort.
The seat looks comfy; is it standard or added.
Is the seat post adequate or does the bike need the added suspension?
How was the suspension fork, as opposed to the non-suspension fork?
Thanks for the review.
Nice review! I have over 3000 miles on my Ride1Up LMT’D, a great bike. While having a faster bike has many benefits, I don’t agree that being able to “keep up” with traffic is a good thing. It might work if we could really stay with the traffic, but with a legal top speed of 28 mph, you are not going to keep up with cars going 35+.
To my mind, the big problem is that most cars expect us to be going about 15+ mph, not 25+. I’ve been cut-off and nearly hit several times by drivers who mis-judged my speed and turned in front of me. I’ve seen it happen both ways; had to slam on my car’s brakes making a right turn because I didn’t realize the ebike I had just passed was going almost as fast as traffic. Falls caused by riders going into tight turns on high pedal-assist levels are another danger that newbies have to face, although I suspect this isn’t a problem with torque sensor bikes. These issues are peculiar to ebikes and I think it will take a while for riders and car drivers to learn how to anticipate and avoid such accidents.
Nice review! What kind of weight are we talking with this V2?
This bike is fine offroad if your an experienced rider, not going to be doing anything crazy but will handle alot of smooth single track no problem, i also went for the 9speed over the cvt because of this
Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 v/s Ride1Up PRODIGY V2. Which one would you recommend?
I have the Specialized Turbo Vado SL EQ 5.0. I like it (the tires it came with suck though). Very reliable, good local and warranty support. Battery is integrated into the frame. This bike is nice but heavy. This bike is cheaper than the Specialized probably by $1,000.
Just wondering if y'all will review EUC's! Electric Unicycles
I have been looking at this and the priority current. Thoughts between the two bikes?
Priority current is using a cheaper Chinese Truckrun motor. Overall it's just a lower quality, lower cost build. Since they are not purely DTC, Priority charge more money for a cheaper build quality.
Is this bike available outside the US?
This is the best ebike review channel on youtube. The back and forth discussions, the careful analytics, the clear explanations, the good camera work, the ability to hit the pros and cons with specs, all contributed to me dropping other channels and subscribing to this one. Only problem is they don't review that often unlike other sites which has a new review every few days.
No e bike should have a throttle.
I would seriously consider this bike, except it does not have a throttle that's a dealbreaker for me.
would you charge the battery inside your house?
Thank God China makes things cheaper for American consumers. Also, German components scare me. Am I going to have to disassemble the entire bike to fix a simple issue?
