Introducing the Ride1Up Prodigy V2 LX, a groundbreaking electric bike we had the privilege of reviewing before its release. This e-bike offers several remarkable features, including a nearly silent Brose mid-drive motor, versatile gear selection with the Enviolo Trekking CVT hub, and a genuine mechanical bike feel thanks to the Gates Carbon Belt drive. It delivers a smooth ride with a 100mm travel air fork suspension, and its top-notch components, like Maxxis Rekon Race tires and 4-piston Tektro hydraulic brakes, ensure an exceptional value.
However, some drawbacks include the lack of cable management, a plastic battery cover, a relatively small rear rack, the absence of a throttle-only mode, the matte black finish’s susceptibility to fingerprints, and the need for a brighter front light and a thicker thru-axle bolt.
In conclusion, the Ride1Up Prodigy V2 LX offers an outstanding e-bike experience that closely mimics traditional cycling. Its advantages outweigh the disadvantages, setting a new standard for e-bikes in its class. If you want to transition to electric biking while retaining the feel of a mechanical bike, the Prodigy V2 LX is a compelling choice. Embrace the future of cycling with this exceptional e-bike.
