Introducing the Ride1Up CF Racer1

While we personally test and review loads of products, we regularly hear about new gear not yet available for testing. To quickly share products we think you’d like to know about we sometimes run company news releases. These are unedited. We have no affiliation with the companies and are not paid to run their information.

Performance, Value, and Aesthetics. No Massive Price Tag

Ride1Up leads the charge when it comes to impressive performance and value. The CF Racer1 is continuing the trend with a sub $2,500 price tag and features that wouldn’t be out of place on a bike four times that MSRP. Additionally, Ride1Up has the bike at a discounted launch price of $2,195.00 https://ride1up.com/product/cf-racer1/

The CF Racer1 is engineered for riders who crave speed and versatility, boasting an ultra-light carbon fiber frame and a cutting-edge concealed powertrain, two build options, and an impressive component spec, setting a new standard for performance-inspired electric bikes.

CF Racer1 Highlights:

  • Sleek Concealed Motor and Battery: With a completely concealed powertrain, the CF Racer1 delivers a streamlined and aesthetically pleasing look. Ideal for those seeking more speed or assistance without breaking the bank, the CF Racer1 is equipped to handle uphill challenges and keep up with or lead a group. The powerful 250W nominal BAFANG motor provides the necessary boost, making every ride an exhilarating experience.
  • Versatile Riding Experience: Available as a traditional road setup or modern gravel spec, the CF Racer1 allows riders to choose their own style. Whether navigating gravel paths or cruising on the open road, this electric bike delivers an incredible ride wherever you choose to adventure.

    This is getting closer to the bike I want. With the optional add-on battery the 500w allows the distance I want for my touring bike. Now it needs a way to mount racks and fenders, and, for my really dream bike…. Steel frame!
