Ride1Up Roadster V2
Shop the Ride1Up Roadster V2, a lightweight and understated electric commuter bike, at The Bike Zone.
The Roadster V2 hides its electric assist well, using a slim down tube battery and a single front chainring to keep the silhouette close to a classic road bike rather than a bulky e-bike. At under 16kg it is one of the lighter electric bikes in its price range, which makes it easier to carry up stairs or lift onto a rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How far can I ride on the Ride1Up Roadster V2 before recharging?
- Real-world range on the Ride1Up Roadster V2 depends on assist level, terrain and rider weight, but most riders can expect somewhere between 30 and 70 miles per charge on a mixed setting. Riding in the highest assist mode or tackling steep climbs will bring that down, while eco mode on flat ground stretches it further. Our team can talk through realistic range for your usual routes before you buy.
- Do I need a licence or insurance to ride the Ride1Up Roadster V2?
- No — the Ride1Up Roadster V2 is a pedal-assist electric bike, which under UK and NI rules means no licence, registration or insurance is required as standard, provided the motor cuts out at 15.5mph and is rated at 250W or below. We'd still recommend insurance for theft and damage cover given the value of an e-bike, and our team can point you to suitable providers.
- How long does the battery on the Ride1Up Roadster V2 take to charge, and what warranty does it carry?
- A full charge on the Ride1Up Roadster V2 typically takes 3 to 6 hours from empty using the supplied charger, and most riders top up overnight rather than waiting for a full cycle. The battery is covered by Ride1Up's standard e-bike warranty, usually two years against manufacturing defects, and The Bike Zone can handle any warranty claims on your behalf.
