Roadster V3 Chain

The Ride1Up Roadster V3 (Chain Version) is a stealthy, ultra-lightweight urban sprinter that completely disguises itself as a traditional fixie or minimalist gravel bike. While Ride1Up offers a single-speed belt drive variant, choosing the chain version unlocks a multi-speed gear system that lets you tackle steep hills and fully exploit the bike's high-speed potential. Because it features multiple gears, the chain drive variant can achieve a faster Class 3 top speed of 28 mph (compared to the belt version's 25 mph limit).

Tipping the scales at a featherweight 40 to 44 pounds, it relies on an elite Intui-Drive torque sensor—engineered by the minds behind Bosch drive systems—to deliver an incredibly organic, lag-free acceleration that complements your natural pedaling effort perfectly.

The Technical Snapshot

• Power & Performance: Powered by a whisper-quiet, low-profile 500W Mivice angled-gear rear hub motor pushing out 50Nm of torque. It delivers a highly responsive, natural ride feel that never jerks or surges.
• Battery & Range: Tucks a lockable, removable 36V 10Ah (360Wh) UL-certified Samsung-cell battery completely flush inside the downtube. It yields a practical range of 20 to 40 miles (which can be extended via an optional 250Wh add-on bottle battery).
• Drivetrain & Speed: Fully adjustable across Class 1, 2, or 3 settings. It reaches up to 28 mph on pedal assist and 20 mph via a subtle, left-hand thumb throttle. It utilizes a multi-speed chain drivetrain (varying by batch between a 9-speed microSHIFT Advent or 10-speed Shimano Deore setup) paired with a 42T or 44T front chainring.
• Brakes & Build: Stopped by reliable Tektro 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes on 160mm rotors. The frame features seamless welds and fully internal cable routing fed directly through the stem for an ultra-clean cockpit.
• Tires & Comfort: Rolls on premium, high-performance 700x45c Schwalbe G-One RS gravel tires (or Pirelli Cinturato tires) with handsome tan sidewalls that grip brilliantly on both asphalt and hard-packed dirt.
• Tech & Features: Equipped with a minimal, stealthy 1.3-inch VeloFox OLED display with an integrated throttle lever, hardened alloy fenders, a stem-integrated 120-Lux Buchel headlight, and an elegant rear light built directly into the rear fender.
