Thanks for a well thought out, honest review. Too many reviewers downplay weaknesses, with the result of videos often being little more than advertisements of products.

Yes! Thank you so much

Love the design on this, I wish Ride1Up offered this design for their better bikes lol, especially the green with the brown Kenda wheels

Thank you for watching!

Love Ride1up bikes, please review the new LMTD v2! Great review btw, especially con #1.. complete deal breaker. For con #2, did you go into the advanced menu settings to ensure PAS5=100%? Ride1up is notorious for shipping their units w/ the PAS5=75 to 80% setting. So you will not get full power unless you set it. On our Ride1up Cafe Cruiser, we also only get about 19 miles on PAS5 when the PAS5 setting is native. That bike has the same power and 60 NM torque rating as the Turris. My Ride1up LMTD gets 23-24 miles or so because it has a torque sensor, stronger motor at 95 NM and is 53 lbs, lighter than the Cafe Cruiser's 70 lbs (including the passenger kit). Ride1up ranges are not good, they underperform against competitors. Your results of 21 miles are spot on. Our cafe cruiser has the exact same Zoom brakes are they perform poorly against other brakes like Tektro.. had to replace mine twice, at 600 miles and 1200 miles. Stopping distance is not very good either.. zoom brakes are awful compared to Tektro or other brands. Bottom barrel quality... also had to bleed the brakes, and EXACTLY what you said, the brake handle is made of soft aluminum and they bent when my daughter fell.. your review is EXCELLENT. You captured all the nuances they we've seen over the past 1 year+. Thanks! Love this channel!

Wow, thank you for your kind comments and information! It's great to hear that the review is relevant to your experience with the Ride1Up bikes. Great point about the PAS settings being adjusted to 75-80% from the factory, this was the same for our unit. I personally enjoyed bikes like the Prodigy and Cafe Cruiser more than the Turris. We would love to get a R1Up LMTD bike into the studio for testing to see how those changes impact its performance. The stronger motor, lower weight, and torque sensor should all be game changers for performance! I agree about the Zoom brakes as well, when first testing them on other bikes I was hopeful they could be a budget performer that competed with other brands. But the Tektro brakes are more consistent and offer better performance and longevity on all levels. Glad to still be able to stand behind Tektro for good brakes! Even on the lower-end mechanical and hydraulic brakes.

Thanks for the awesome response w/ your thoughts. Honestly, this is by far the best ebike channel because of the accuracy of the cons, the range tests, the brake tests, and because the reviews are so thorough yet succinct. Other channels that have more subs try, but they are not as concise or precise. Hope you hit 100K subs, you deserve it@@BikeRidecom

I wonder if the voltage mapping for the battery meter was changed from factory default? I have a LMT’d with a different display from the same manufacturer, so the process is a little different, but both let you change what voltage each bar on the battery gauge corresponds with. I changed mine so the gauge drops more linearly with battery voltage because I didn’t like it showing 100% for the first several miles on a fresh charge. I ride with it showing voltage instead of percentage, but the mapping also affects the battery graphic which is displayed in both % and voltage modes.

We did not change any settings after receiving the bike for our initial range test. Trying to test the bike as it would be received by a standard purchaser. This is a good point though, and we will check what the current voltage levels are set to and let you know!

Hey, I’m wondering how the turris compares to the core-5 In terms of both reliability and acceleration?

@BikeRidecom

3 ай бұрын

I have not had a chance to ride the Core-5, but based on its specs, it is very comparable with the Turris in terms of motor performance. There are some big differences, though. Most notable is that the Turris has a suspension fork (100 mm), upgraded dual piston hydraulic brakes, and fenders. It appears to be a new version of the Core-5 with upgrades.

Thoughts on whether I should get the cafe cruiser or Turris for commuting 24 miles in a day (no hills, fairly flat)?

Both bikes will have the range (assuming your Turris received does not suffer the same apparent issue our did, which I can only assume is a 1 off issue based on other reviewers experience..) Personally I would prefer the geometry and wheel size of the Turris compared to the Cafe Cruiser for pedaling. But in testing the Cafe Cruiser was more powerful and capable on hills, its lead to some confusion. Based on the specs provided by R1Up and other reviews this should not be the case, and the Turris should be more powerful and capable then the Cafe Cruiser. But in my experience this was not true, with the Turris feeling underpowered on hills despite appearing to have the same motor. The Cafe Cruiser I could find the motor serial number and track its specs down from Bafang, but could not find a serial number visible on the Turris, which lead to some confusion when the bike did not perform as well as it should have in testing. Its possible we received a model spec'd for the Canadian market which has a lower allowed motor size. If the specs are true on the R1Up website, I would lean towards the Turris based on its sizing and geometry. It also has a longer travel front fork.

@GarrusVakarian-to2uh The Limited V2 is pretty cool with its torque sensor and 750W motor

Hey please contact me, I purchased this bike... There is a controller firmware flashing issue in my mind, as the controller shuts down at 45v. (cutoff for a 52v battery, not the 41v shutdown for a 48v system) I believe what you see on battery level is accurate, it just shuts down too soon. To verify, ride bike to shutdown, take a meter and on the middle set of 6pins, measure the dc voltage -- betting it's slightly over 45v....

The battery level and shut off are both controlled by an advanced setting in the menu that allows you to select the voltage level for each battery bar indicator. After digging into the settings I could see that they were all set to 45V or higher. Correcting these to the right battery levels for each stage fixed our issue with the bike. Still I think R1UP should ensure these are properly adjusted from the factory for riders.

Haven't they upgraded to 90nm of torque?

@BikeRidecom

Ай бұрын

The website currently says it is a 90 Nm 750W rear hub motor. However, the unit on our bike did not appear to match these specs. They may have upgraded the bike since our test model was sent out. At the time of review, the website did not mention a 90 Nm motor

Do you have the 95nm torque model?

@BikeRidecom

I have had some trouble placing the specs as listed on the R1UP website, Vs the model we received. The motor has no serial number visible, making it challenging to compare it. In my experience with the bike during testing the bike was underpowered on hills, not offering the assist I would expect from a 90Nm motor, it also appears to be a similar motor to the 500W nominal (called a 750W sustained by (R1up) The watt meter on the battery shows wattages up to 840W while in use. During out hill test the bike resulted in results similar or worse then 500W nominal motors with 60Nm of torque, which led us to rate it similarly. Since our testing location is in Canada and we were shipped this directly it is possible we received a Canadian version with a different motor or a limited version. When looking online they claim a "750W Sustained motor" with 90 Nm of torque. Based on others reviews who claim it to be powerful and torque heavy I have ton assume they have received a different motor, but without being able to test it ourselves I cannot say for sure.

Would they really nerf the model for Canadian markets? I’m in Canada and thinking of ordering one, but if this is true I definitely won’t be ordering one.

@@ryanm7354 Canada has some serious problems with legislation and rules for E-Bikes. It is lagging behind the USA and is typically very grey zone, with lots of highspeed and high powered bikes on the market, how they were imported and the legality is questionable. I have never been stopped by police or questions about the power of the the e-bike I am riding. Generally I am under the impression that import rules from Canada Customs for e-bikes require it to have a max motor size of 500W and top speed of 32 Km/h. Now other brands like Himiway who sell in Canada and some other brands claim that 750W motors are actually allowed, and their Canadian site sells 750W claimed motors but officially I cannot find a law or bylaw to support this. I have received "750W" motors that have a 500W sticker on them, and class 3 - 45 km/h capable bikes that have class 2 32 km/h sticker on them. It get more confusing because many bikes allow you to "unlock" the top speed taking it above the allowed speed limit. Now Ride1Up does not claim to "nerf" any bikes sent to Canada, and they have claimed this Turris is running a 750W "sustained" motor (this is straight from the website not my terminology) that is capable of 90Nm of torque. I can't bench test the motor to test this but I can say that compared to other 750W motors I have tested with 86-90Nm or torque the Turris did not come close. It sucks because I really like the R1Up bikes, especially earlier models I tested like the Prodigy, its still one of the best early middrive MTB bikes I have had the pleasure of riding. And other reviewers in the USA seem to love the Turris and rave about its performance. I have not been able to figure out this little riddle yet, but hope to get more R1Up bikes in the studio to test them and compare.
