Ride1UP’s latest offering is the Rift; its first fat tire e-bike. In our testing, it fulfilled our
expectations and also leaped beyond them thanks to some unexpected elements. We explain our findings in this Ride1UP Rift ST Review!
The Rift ST includes a robust 750W rear-hub motor with 95 Nm of torque that powered us quickly and effectively over all sorts of terrain. This motor functions responsively due to an unexpectedly sensitive cadence sensor that’s
one of the best we’ve seen – especially at the Rift’s price point below $1,900.
A 150-lb rating on the Rift’s welded-on cargo rack means that it’s stout enough to haul anything from camping gear to groceries, but with the optional Passenger Kit, it can
accommodate an additional rider. This transforms the Rift ST into a unique hybrid machine more akin to a utility bike than a traditional fat bike.
