Ride1Up just launched its new V2 e-bike, but you can score the original Prodigy at $1,895

Ride1Up just launched its new Prodigy V2 e-bike this morning. Stepping up to compete in the world of higher-end e-bikes, this model makes some adjustments that not every rider may appreciate. Clocking in with a more affordable price tag, the original Ride1Up Prodigy e-bike now sells for $1,895 shipped. It’s down from the usual $2,295 MSRP, marking one of the first chances to score it below $2,000. This is $400 off and clocking in at $200 below our previous mention. Dive into our hands-on review, or head below the fold to see hope this ride stacks up to its newer model.

The Ride1Up Progidy e-bike arrives with Class 3 speeds that can hit up to 28 MPH with pedal assisted riding. There’s an up to 50-mile range to pair with a 90nm torque motor, lightweight strep-through frame, and everything else that makes the $400 price cut an even better buy.

But compared to the new version, there’s a lot of similarities. You’re looking at a 504Wh battery on both, with the same range. The new V2 version is a bit heavier – 8 pounds to be exact – while sporting the same Shimano Alivio transmission with nine speeds as the original. Justifying the price increase to $2,395 a bit more, there’s a continuous variable transmission option, as well as included front suspension, fenders, and a rear rack that’s standard on the baseline model. We fully break down the new release over at Electrek.
