Ride1Up 700 Series: parts and specs

Specs are for the stock bike as sold; check your own bike before you buy. This page covers the Ride1Up 700 Series commuter, sold from 2020 to 2024 in step-over and step-through frames. It was built with AKM, Bafang or Shengyi motors; the controller, motor cable and cadence sensor must match yours. Batteries came with 18650 cells (13.4Ah) or 21700 cells (15Ah), and the two are not cross-compatible. Read the label on your battery before you order. Ride1Up sells most parts below from one model parts page and its rear wheel and motor page; both showed in stock with no prices, read Nov 9, 2026.
