Finally a review that shows how it will fit inside a vehicle!! 🎉

Nice concise review Tom. I'm considering the Portola as a replacement for my Ride1up Core 5. Lotta bang for the buck!

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it. For under $1000, the motor, brakes, and build really make this e-bike a great buy!⚡️🚴‍♂️⚡️

Thanks for an excellent review on a great looking bargain bike. The 130 lb welded rack makes this a suitable cargo bike! and only 60 lbs total wt makes it easier to fold up and get it into a car...

Thanks for watching! It would make an awesome cargo bike with the optional front and rear baskets.👍

Yes Tom, Always great to see affordable super bikes with multi-use options. This SPANKS Lectric bigtime! 750W motor and 14ah accessory battery makes this a viable 35 mi commuter! I highly recommend the Suntour SR SP12 Suspension seat Post. Under a Cloud 9 saddle, it's like magic!

I’m looking for a derailleur guard for mine. When you loaded it into the Corolla did the derailleur take any weight? I wasn’t sure which side to lie it on when folded

Thanks for watching. I think any derailleur guard that would fit a Shimano Altus would be fine. The mounting is pretty typical. I didn't think about the sides when I put it in the Corolla, but I tried it again, and most of the weight was on the crank and folded pedal. But in the future, I will put it in rear disk brake side down. Good catch! 👍👍👍

@@everythingebike you need a derailleur guard for e-bikes due to the wire. They have a notch the wire can slide through. And the shape of the frame seems like we’ll need a specific one. I’m waiting to see if ride1up will offer one. Apparently newer models are suppose to come with a guard and a bell but I’m not 100% sure

I still think an item like this would fit to protect the derailleur. amzn.to/3OzoE9S. The derailleur is mounted on a hanger. I think what you’re saying is you also want to protect the power wiring to the hub. Here’s another idea: www.geohandguards.com/product-page/derailleur-guard-by-geo

I'm 5'4 and need to commute 4 miles to work on mostly throttle, some hills involved My current regular bike takes me 45 minutes and I'm exhausted upon arrival Any recommendations?

Thank you for watching! As for the height, stay with a step thru model of any e-bike. As for riding the equivalent of 45 minutes on a non assisted bike (15 miles), would be no problem on any decent rear hub motor e-bike. Stick with a push throttle, not twist. 750 watts (that usually peak at 1000) is far more then adequate. I was impressed with this e-bike. Good power and battery, UL certified, 750 watt motor, and hydraulic disk brakes. For under $1000. Not bad. Thank again! 👍⚡️🚴‍♂️⚡️

Weighing "just" 60 lbs !!! That's insanely heavy. These e-bikes must do better.

Thanks for watching! The motors and batteries are the limiting factor. But it’s easier to lift than a fat tire e-bike at 78 lbs. 😁

The light ones are $5k and up

It’s still lighter than the major competition like Lectric XP 3.0 step-thru (65lbs) and many other of the competition at price range of $1K and below.

The waste of time watching such videos where the paid or given for free e-bike presenter repeats the product description and not learning any more specifics?
