The Ride1Up CF Racer1 is a lightweight carbon fiber eBike suitable for gravel or road rides. With it’s hub motor and internal battery, the bike looks more bike than eBike.

The 250-watt hub motor and 36V 7Ah battery with Samsung cells are discretely housed within the frame. The top speed with pedal assist is 28 mph and the range is 16-40 miles depending on rider weight, terrain, incline and level of assist. Add-on battery packs that attach to the water-bottle mounts are available as an extra option.

A VeloFox DM02 Color Display keeps track of vital ride data such as mileage, speed, battery level and more. The pedal-assist level can be customized and the display also shows wattage in real time.

Stopping is courtesy of SRAM Apex DoubleTap shifters paired to SRAM Apex Hydraulic Disc brakes with 160mm rotors on the front and rear. A thru-axle is offered on the carbon fork. The bike comes with 15-degree flared dropbars.
