Ride1Up Roadster V3

What the Ride1Up Roadster V3 is built for

The Ride1Up Roadster V3 is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 500 W hub motor and 50 Nm of torque.

It carries a 360 Wh battery.

The Ride1Up Roadster V3 uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal.

In the United States the Ride1Up Roadster V3 sells for $1,395, below the median of $1,700 across 311 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the more affordable models. That is $4 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Ride1Up Roadster V3 may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 500 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Ride1Up Roadster V3 safety certification

The brand states that the Ride1Up Roadster V3 is certified to UL 2271.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
