Roadster V3 urban e-bike keeps battery after 38 km off-road ride
A budget urban electric bicycle delivered steadier-than-expected performance on unpaved roads. Ride1Up\'s Roadster V3 completed about 38 km on mixed gravel, dirt, sand, mud puddles and rocky sections while retaining about one-third of its battery. The lightweight e-bike is aimed at city commuting and is priced at $1,295. Most riding used eco mode with a mid-drive torque sensor, with a hidden throttle used on steep or difficult sections.
