trying to decide between this and the five star. I know the five star is probably more practical and better for exercise but I just like the look and build of this more. I also am considering the Motor Goat but it doesn't look like knobbies would fit under the fenders...could take them off but still.
Finally someone built a bike in this style that doesn't have a stupidly large looking square gap inside it, they've actually put that "R1" mesh stuff in there - makes it look actually quite damn cool 👍 I actually think the build quality is top-notch, the colour too - I love it. Seems adequately fast for a stock e-bike as well, 33-34 mph is really all you need, I bet it would go faster with more 'slick' style road tyres on it as well - the seat & front & rear suspension look great too - its a great looking e-bike.
@@StayConnectedEV it got me wondering about it's hill pulling capabilities, but then I thought 'well, he's a big guy at 240 pounds, so maybe it's ok' (no disrespect 👍) - I think you pretty much covered everything but a long range test & how long it takes to charge, just stuff like that really... "Maximum charge" on his Vids usually has a certain place he does a hill test for every bike he reviews, maybe something like this as it gives the viewer a good benchmark as to how each bike fairs in terms of capabilities to other very similar e-bikes, I may have missed it but it might help to occasionally put the price up on screen (at the top periodically - as not to be annoying) so the viewer has the occasional reminder of how much it is, and the discount code as most ppl won't bother to look into the channel for the price & code - I think this is where a lot of TH-camrs reviewing e-bikes get it slightly wrong... A visual reminder sticks in your mind better than just a mere mention. It looks like a great e-bike though, great quality! Great review too, good editing and very clear picture on my lg c2 oled 👍
@@MickyBee73 Thanks Micky! These suggestions are fantastic! I did post the price at the end and you are 100% correct. The hill climbing will be another test I do offroad on offroad course so I gotchu! I will also look at the range test.. Thats a great suggestion!!
Maybe Customer Service is good, but it looks like the warehouse is not packing the bike good enough because that should have never happened if they packed it well
@@StayConnectedEV you must have never rode a P-51, I haven’t either but I plan on getting one. I hear a great things on it year after year best suspension in the business.
I reached out to Ride1Up their selling me a bike at a discount price for a review. I ordered the Revv-1 FS in green I didn’t want the noisy tires you have.😂 i’ve never had a moped style bike before so it’s new for me. See you got me to like this bike so much. I had to try to get one. ❤
Ride1up had contacted me about giving me a Portola everything was going fine until I asked him if I could pay for the bigger battery then I got ghosted I recently contacted him about trying to get this bike and got no response. Oh well, I’m small. I get it. Does the rotors have round cooling holes in them? I have found that that stile makes the noise. I don’t particularly like the noise. I would really like it if some company sent me a bike similar to this style. I have never tried one other than Bruce’s Goat. Thanks DAVE for another fantastic review. ❤ maybe someday we can meet up somewhere and take a ride you’re in Rhode Island right?
I’ll definitely check the rotors today and let you know. Honestly I think you should try again pinging them I had similar Issue and I think the partner team does other jobs than the influencers. I’d be shocked they changed their mind. I’m actually in NJ and would love one day to meet up!!! It would be cool if we can get Bruce too!
HILL 😂 what hill lol🤦🏽♂️ I do love the look of it but it’s a little underpowered and so is the P 51 but the company is trying to keep it legal. I just want the P5 one for my old bones. I heard it has the best suspension in the business.👍🏽 I was at the electrify Expo in California and I never got a chance to ride it
I want to buy this. It looks amazing but I’m looking at the P 51. I think it has better suspension when you went over the rough terrain. It sounded like your vocal cords were vibrating.😂👍🏽
More and more of the manufacturers are putting XT 60 connectors in their bikes so adding a second battery is not that hard anymore and I do not believe you would be voiding the warranty if it’s a plug-in play. And I use the end of changing the gears on most bikes. Because I believe the manufacturers are trying to give you the middle of the road gearing and it doesn’t work for me.

Just bought mine, installed a second battery, lowered the handle bars. Love it
Thats awesome My light isnt switching different modes for me
@@StayConnectedEV you have to press the power button to activate high and low beam
I think for the $$ this is one of the best ebikes after this I wld say ghostcat...but luv the way this bike looks and rides
Told you I was excited to see it! Thanks for the upload! You just got a sub. I can’t wait to get my hands on a DRT.
Wow! Thank you so much for your subscription. Let me know what else you'd like me to show for the DRR when I do my second video.

That’s a tough decision. I’m more leaning towards the DRT
Greate review! Ride1up is a solid company
Thank you, wish i could see you take this bike on your trailtesting!!! lol.. Thanks for all your support.
So cool. Wish they weren't so expensive but the cost is worth it when you consider how dangerous just the battery can be when he buy cheap.
What’s nice is the Revv1 is cheaper and it’s the on-road version.

So true!!!! I think you nailed it and wished I mentioned that in my review. Anything you want me to cover in the next video on the bike?

Thanks for another great review. Love your honest feedback!
Thank you so much! Hope you subscribed!
I have to say for stock bike to go that fast is very impressive. I think your edits are getting really good
Thanks so much I hope you are subbed!
Maybe Customer Service is good, but it looks like the warehouse is not packing the bike good enough because that should have never happened if they packed it well
It was a one off problem. Hands down best bike I’ve owned

I’m so excited Gary. Send me a email with your # I’ll give you some pointers.
I loved this review!! Probably the best one so far!!! Now you got me debating if I should get one!
Im glad you enjoyed it. yeah this review was the most fun I've have doing a bike review in a very long time.
Love..."Stop ringing that bell!"
Hahahaha I was waiting for someone to catch that I always get that clip on my videos.
Great review 👏 we have the FS but almost bought the DRT. my son loves the blinkers on the FS.
Thank you! I can see why he likes the blinkers. I’m glad you picked up the DRT. Such a fun bike!!!!
Omg...that is crazy...tight space....

No way underpowered
Love this bike! Kind of regret going with my x-class but going to upgrade it anyway
Yeah I understand. Best bet is don’t look back. Thanks for your comment.
Great video brother I'm going to use your link thank you
Thank you very much ! Im glad you enjoyed it. If you have any issues with ordering let me know! Good luck too on the giveaway
The brake noise almost sounds like birds in the morning 😊
Yes! It’s actually very cool sounding. lol.
I want to buy this. It looks amazing but I’m looking at the P 51. I think it has better suspension when you went over the rough terrain. It sounded like your vocal cords were vibrating.😂👍🏽
yes because some of the terrain had roots in the ground.

Agreed. Ride1up makes the kit. I’m speaking changing with bigger motors. Too dangerous on this bike.
Great job! Eride Pro SS is also great
Thanks Bruce. The review was a fun one to make.
So did you order the second battery kit?
I am thinking about it. Definitely would be nice since they offer it.
@@StayConnectedEV i definitely am thinking about ordering this bike now haha
@@mpbikes1972 i would! You wont be disappointed
Afraid of snakes 🐍....
I am completely petrified of snakes lol
