Ride1Up TrailRush: real range, hills and charging

A 180 lb rider on the Ride1Up TrailRush at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 32 miles per charge (26–38 mi), using 14.2 Wh per mile. That is 64% of the brand's 50 mi claim. That is about 64% of the claim. At full assist with almost no pedaling over hills it drops to about 21 miles. For less money, the Ride1Up Prodigy v2 ECO ($1,295) goes about 32 miles in the same riding.

Can the Ride1Up TrailRush climb hills?

Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at an estimated 400 W peak. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.

Rider	5% grade	10% grade	15% grade
180 lb, full assist	10 mph	6 mph	4 mph
180 lb, pedaling	12 mph	7 mph	5 mph
250 lb, full assist	8 mph	5 mph	3 mph
250 lb, pedaling	10 mph	6 mph	4 mph

Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 7% on throttle, 9% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 250 W nominal rating.
