Ride1Up 700 Series: real range, hills and charging
A 180 lb rider on the Ride1Up 700 Series at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 47 miles per charge (37–56 mi), using 13.8 Wh per mile. The brand claims up to 50 miles. That is about 94% of the claim. On throttle only over hills it drops to about 31 miles. It is discontinued; of the current commuter and cruiser e-bikes we track, the lowest-priced that goes as far is the Aventon Pace 5 REC ($1,799, about 48 miles).

Can the Ride1Up 700 Series climb hills?
Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at an estimated 1,200 W peak, limited by its 60 Nm of torque. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.
| Rider | 5% grade | 10% grade | 15% grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 lb, throttle | 22 mph | 14 mph | 8 mph |
| 180 lb, pedaling | 23 mph | 15 mph | 11 mph |
| 250 lb, throttle | 19 mph | 11 mph | stalls |
| 250 lb, pedaling | 20 mph | 12 mph | 7 mph |
Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 15% on throttle, 19% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 750 W nominal rating.
