What do you think of the Core-5? Support Ebike Escape when purchasing from Ride1Up: go.ride1up.com/aff_c?offer_id=1&aff_id=1005&source=youtube (affiliate link)
Bolton bronco or ride 1 up 700.
@@gagehindle210 Two very different bikes. I guess I'd look more into whether you need a dual motor ebike and whether your preference is more a city ebike or a fat tire ebike. That should probably drive your decision. For me, I'd love to test out the Bronco in the snow. Hope this helps!
I don’t need dual motors, I just like the Bolton brand. I live in San Diego, so the Ride 1 Up makes sense. I’m 6’4” and 235 , so the fat tires seemed like extra shock absorption. Like your reviews. Keep it up.
I purchased the R1U Core-5 two months ago and it has been terrific. It's nimble and lighter than many comparable e-bikes, and its build quality looks good. I'm happy with my purchase.
Thanks for the video. Question would you recommend the Core-5 or the RadMission?
I am ordering the Core 5 this weekend! Great review!
Awesome! Enjoy
Hi James how are you liking the core 5… thanks
@@bernievassallo3336 I have almost 8,100 miles on it now and still going strong.
Thank you and wow on the miles
Great review Ryan. Really helpful information.
Glad to hear it!
Very nice! Thanks for the review and comparisons.
Glad you liked it!
Surprisingly great ebike
Great review!
Thank you, that means a lot coming from EBR.
I’ve noticed that ride 1up is posting 750w sustained with 800+ peak.They did this do compete with other manufacturers.This bike can I’m sure sustain 750w but is really a 500w motor nominal.
Correct
Hi Woodie… did you get the core 5? If so how do you like it
Ordered. And although it has been way over the amount of time they state on their website for it to ship, I finally emailed them. All they did was say the order will ship today or tomorrow. Today or tomorrow came and went..so did many, many other days. They also lied to me about it being shipped.. You see, they sent me an email it had been shipped, but all they did was create a shipping label. The fact they are hiding stuff and flat out lying makes me wonder if I will ever get a bike. The least they could do is be honest and explain what is going on rather than saying it will be shipped today or tomorrow, and then lying about it in an email saying it was shipped.
On a side note, if it takes much longer, the color of bike I wanted will be back in stock! I settled for chosen color because the other was unavailable for now.
Hi Lukasz, did you follow back up? I don't want to speak for this specific situation but Ride1Up has been very open about shipping delays. And unfortunately, some parts of the shipping process are out of their control. Kevin discussed this in a recent interview. This might not apply to your case and I can't imagine you won't receive your bike. Ride1Up is a reputable (but smaller) electric bike company. There are plenty of happy owners. Hope your issues get sorted out!
Great review.Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Do you have a review of mokwheel asphalt st
So not having ever ridden an ebike my concern is as follows... my wife is disabled to the extent she cannot shift, throttle or brake with her right hand. The Core-5 has left throttle and I can swap brake levers to give her a better braking experience. My biggest concern is on Level 1 the bikes I have seen reviews on go around 14 MPH. That is too fast for her use. I want to get a bike that she can comfortably keep up with my walking pace so she can join me on walks/hikes. Is the Core-5 capable of providing pedal assist capable of a fast walking pace without scaring the bejesus out of her?
Would like to see a hill test on this model . Great vid !!
Check out the 500 Series review where I take it up a hill (it has the same motor): ua-cam.com/video/EcffCabcwD0/v-deo.html
Plenty capable with a little bit of assistance.
It’s has a 60nm motor. You can do some basic hill with a moderate weight. This should be how bikes are described.
How do I know where the product bought from?
Great review thank you, had a question about your camera that you are using? Would you mind sharing that, I looked on your accessory list. I am guessing that you are using the Insta360 selfie stick? Camera and the mounts you used to mount it to your bike? You should affiliate that. :)
Yeah that's a good idea. I'm actually planning an entire video on the gear I use. This is all filmed with the GoPro Max, I went with it over the Insta360. I saw mixed reviews on their selfie stick so I went with something I knew is overbuilt for the job. It's pricey but at least I don't have to hold onto a camera while riding: www.rammount.com/part/RAP-404-PP12-GOP1U
@@EbikeEscape Looks great, actually I do have a few of the Rammounts for my SXS and ATV's. Great product and durable. I'll have to look at the GoPro Max. Look forward to more videos. There isn't to many Ebike dealers around us (Other than top end bikes). But we did test drive the Aventon Level bike. She really liked it. I still believe we'll probably go with the Ride1up, 700 series for her and the LMT'd for myself.
Great video and info, what about the Wing commuters?
The Wing ebikes? I think they look super interesting - I've reached out but they aren't willing to work with UA-camrs...yet
@@EbikeEscape ordered the Core in this review. Your video sealed my research. Thx, hope it's worth it!
100 plus miles mark and very pleased thanks!.
Do you have at least a preliminary opinion comparing the Ride1Up Core-5 versus LMT'D bikes? Which is of these two is a better value? Between the 2, which do you prefer to purchase if you were paying with your own money? With the Core-5 bike you can customize the PAS levels by the user in the settings(it can also be done also on the LMT'D bike, but the Ride1Up owner doesn't recommend it, as it can screw up its torque sensor if I understand right).
I am super impressed with the 500 Series value wise. That's probably the ebike I'd personally buy if I was looking for a decent bike while still saving hundreds compared to other models. Yes, hydraulic disc brakes are nice to have and some people prefer the torque sensor. It also comes down to how much you'll actually use the ebike. We ride ours often so it's nice to have some creature comforts - also easier to justify spending more.
@@EbikeEscape So now you have changed your opinion in preferring torque sensor over cadence sensor? In theory, the Ride1Up LMT'D has much more power than the Core-5 model(100nm vs 56nm). Almost twice more powerful? With cadence sensor, you don't need to pedal hard to get to higher speed. In my case, I would not be using an e-bike for exercise.
@@EbikeEscape Sorry, I just realized you were referring to Ride1Up 500(responding to me). The new Ride1Up bike that you just got(your third Ride1Up bike).
@@Steve-yo5jn I don't see a reason to buy an ebike with a torque sensor if your goal isn't to work hard. Not to say you can't get exercise on a cadence sensor - it's just different. To be fair the Core-5 is going to a family member. The 500 Series really surprised me given it is only $100 more than the Core-5.
@@EbikeEscape 500 series really surprised you in that its nearly identical to core 5?
how well does this bike handle hills?
Het there. I just ordered a LMT’D and I used your link to get there. I have a question about assembling the LMT’D vs the 700. I just finished putting my wife’s 700 together and thought I would reach out to people to see if I can pick up any pointers. Things to watch out for, I intended issues (like I did’t seat the bottom bearing cage properly and it got squashed). I appreciate any comments/help.
Thanks for the support Kurt! Should be pretty similar to the 700 Series. In fact I watched the 700 Series assembly video when I got mine since there wasn't a lot of info about the LMT'D at the time. The fork is probably the trickiest and I think the only thing I did wrong was I put the thin dust cap? in the wrong spot. You can check out my unboxing here if you're curious (note I'm not a professional) ua-cam.com/video/uOKNG1S9_Zo/v-deo.html
I had the same problem with the fork installation. I had to buy a new bottom bearing race. It got squished somehow and bound up the steering.
Hello Kurt! I’m researching the ride 1 up bikes and just wanted to ask if you are happy with the two you purchased?… thanks and God bless you!!
@@bernievassallo3336 I decided to cancel my LMT’D order and got another 700 for me. We both love the bikes and have had no issues with them. We don’t ride a lot so we never have range issues on the batteries. I did a lot if research as well and went with Ride1Up for value and quality. They seem to have hit the sweet spot of keeping the price low while providing quality equipment.
Thanks for the video, both ride and details helped considering I just started researching this bike a couple hours ago as my commute-only bike (decided to wait til after New England winter for a higher $$$ quality bike)! Prefer the step-thru (5'11' here), but you said you're 6''' and still comfortable on it?...video appears you were slightly 'scrunched up' w/ legs not fully extended at bottom pedal...Maybe just the video angle?
Yeah, I think it was partly the angle and partly me not extending the seat as far as it can safely go. I think you'll be fine on the Core-5.
@@EbikeEscapeaqq
Does the Core 5 throttle and/or pedal give a little power from a dead stop? I find that real useful in the city and on snow and ice when you must manage power more precisely.
Thanks
Yes throttle works when the bike is still.
@@EbikeEscape Thanks, that's what i hoped
Does Ride1Up Core 5 have racks that you can buy from them? I got my bike yesterday and I ordered a phone mount from them,I got the bike but not the accessory, do they ship separately?
They do and yes, I believe they ship separately: go.ride1up.com/aff_c?offer_id=1&aff_id=1005&source=youtube
They are basic racks which might meet your needs but many third party options are available too.
@@EbikeEscape Hey thanks , for answering me, my phone mount came, Ride1up said they will have racks in June I'm having my bike put together tomorrow it's costing me $120,I hope that includes inspection, I didn't think I'd be able to do it, I think that's Expensive but But I live in the city that's one of the best shops in the expensive part of town so ,have a good night.
Hi Dan I wanted to ask how you are liking your core 5 and do you ever throttle only?… thanks!! God bless you!
I’m close to ordering the Core5 ST but would like to lower the seat 2” lower than minimum down to 30”. Not sure if you have any experience/knowledge but would appreciate your thoughts on replacing with shorter seat tube. The LTD. has the lower minimum, but is really more bike than I need. TIA
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to either cut the seatpost down or buy a new one. No experience myself doing this though.
Thanks
Hi Pat, I wanted to ask if you got the core 5 and if so how are you liking it?… thanks!!
I seen your video with the Ariel as an option, the 1,000ish e-bike vid, I wonder if the japanese motor or the Baafang is best
Which bike is using a Bafang motor? I don't think they said the brand on the Rideal.
I have a question can u torque and pedal assist at the same time and would it go up to 30 mph?
This bike won't go 30 mph.
Both bikes will get the job done right?
For sure!
I live in the high desert and just ordered one and it comes friday. We dont have a lot of sidewalks and we have hills so the electric motor and battery distance with the big tires is pefect bang for the buck in the desert but im worried i bought the wrong type of frame for the job. I bought the step through instead of the XR simply because it just looks way cooler (STUPID I KNOW!) and i wasn't thinking clearly about frame strength. And i dont plan on taking it on like super hardcore trails and shit but definitely heavy gravel and uneven terrain is sometimes with less than 1 ft drop offs are all I have to work with. Will this handle intermediate mountain bike style terrain okay without breaking or flexing? Or should I just bite the bullet and take the 250 dollar return fee and get the XR?
No experience myself with taking this truly off road. Gravel should be fine and I didn't notice anything as far as frame ridgidity issues in my resting. Remember no front suspension so you'll feel the bumps. You might want to get some more knobby tires. I probably wouldn't eat the $250 return fee. Maybe ask Ride1Up what they think.
Hi did you go with the Core 5 if so how do you like it
How does the Core 5 compare to the Babymaker FLX Pro overall?
Not super familiar with that ebike but at a glance they are completely different frame styles, the Core-5 also has gears, much larger battery etc. Different use cases in my opinion.
Hi Ryan!
I know this is a core 5 video ! Good job btw! But I couldn’t help but notice and ask... how do you like the seat post suspension you got?
Covered this in an email but both the SR Suntour and Cirrus Cycles one are great choices. I have a video on my channel about the SR Suntour suspension seatpost.
I am having a hard time locating a suspension seatpost for the Core 5. Did you have to shim a 27.2?
@@bobbarbato9920 I don't have a suspension seatpost on the Core-5 but if I was going to buy one - yes just buy a 27.2 and get the shims. I am testing out the Kinekt 2.1 on my LMT'D and have a few shims for it. Works great and I intend to bring it with me as I get different ebikes over the years.
Great review but does the throttle hurt your thumb if your holding it for too long? Or is it easy to push
Thanks! I wouldn't want to hold it down for an entire ride. But for boosts it is just fine.
Great review! I've been trying to decide between say the RadCity, RadRover or a bike like Ride1Up. One thing I like about the RadRover is the 750 watt motor and 80 nM of torque. The Ride1Up has 52 nM of torque so I was curious how it does on hills. I weigh about 230 pounds, so I'm thinking the torque might make a difference. Of course, the Ride1Up weighs about 50 lbs and the RadRover around 70 lbs. What was your experience with the hills on the Ride1Up and how does it compare with the RadRover? Thanks!
In my opinion you should first decide whether you actually want a city bike or a fat tire. Then look at options. With the extra weight of the Rover and the fat tires and the lighter weight/skinnier tires of the Ride1up, both bikes are likely to be fine for you on hills. One benefit of the Rover is you could always pop in a more powerful motor/controller.
@@EbikeEscape I just watched your review on the Limited. That one appears to do really well going up hills with the 100 nM motor. Now I'm thinking about the Limited as a contender with the RadRover.
LMT'D is great if you want a torque sensor and some better components. Just keep in mind it will feel different. Torque sensor is better suited for those who want more of a workout.
@@EbikeEscape Thanks! I'm looking for a bike as more recreation. You know, riding on designated bike trails. Not looking for a commuter bike. But I do want one that tackles hills with ease. The hill climbing is a big factor for me. I might go off trail occasionally, but will mainly stick to pavement. We have several paved bike trails around Georgia, but some are very hilly.
Hi I just wanted to ask which e bike you went with?… a ride 1 up model?… thanks!!
Is the PAS torque sensor or cadence sendor
All models from Ride1Up are now cadence sensors except for the new Prodigy.
I hope they make a fat tire just like the Rads
I wouldn't count on it. They are very solidly focused on commuter style ebikes with regular sized tires.
curious what app do you use for speed on your phone?
Speedometer by Cool Niks. Thanks for watching!
Would you get a Rad Mission or a Core 5?
See my other comment reply. Thanks for watching!
Realilisticly how many miles of range will I get?
I think the 20-40 mile estimate is pretty accurate. We've done 50 miles on a 14 Ah battery with the LMT'D.
Can I use the throttle for an extended period of time? Does it damage the motor? I'm talking about like 5-10 miles just holding down the throttle.
Haven't tested this myself but I'd guess you would be ok. Would also depend on what speed you're going at and whether there are hills. A little bit of pedaling can go a long way. Ideally you'd be running the motor at its sustained/nominal wattage as opposed to peak power.
@@EbikeEscape It's for flat road, I'm just curious if it's safe to do. Just for one of those days that you need to get home quickly.
Hi Steve did you get the core 5
@@bernievassallo3336 I did, it's a great e-bike for the price. I got the step-through version. My only complain would be the weight but I was well aware of it at the time of purchase. Added a seatpost/stem suspension, helped greatly with potholes and small bumps.
Hi Steve… I forgot to ask, do use the throttle only? If so how is it?…thanks!!!
Nice bike
Thanks!
Sooo the fake riding effect almost gave me a flashback....
how is this going up hills anyone? i want this ebike & i live by hills
Plenty capable on hills. Same motor on this one as the 500 Series and 700 Series as far as I know. Guess it all depends on how large your hills are. You can also check out my 500 Series review.
@@EbikeEscape will do thanks
@@EbikeEscape i am confused on the motor. On the website it say 750 then it say 500. Which 1 is it plz
Hello… did you get the core 5
