E-bike Safety:
You must be eighteen (18) years old or over to ride this e-bike. Your e-bike
is designed for a maximum permitted overall weight (rider + cargo) of 350 lbs.
Do not exceed carrying capacity as this may compromise the integrity of the
bike and could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Your bike must be inspected or assembled by someone experienced with bike
mechanics prior to use. Proper assembly and inspection of all nuts and bolts
are vital for safety and for your warranty coverage as damages due to improper
assembly are not covered under warranty. Improper assembly of critical
components could lead to serious injury and/or death. Do not submerge your
e-bike in water as this may damage the electrical and mechanical components of
the e-bike and could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property
damage. Be aware that the speed at which you are traveling may be faster than
you are used to, especially when accelerating.
The throttle should be gradually applied for a smooth acceleration. If you feel that the throttle, pedal assist, or brake levers are abnormally functioning, such as jerky acceleration, brakes not stopping the bike etc. please stop using your ebike immediately and contact our Customer Support Department or review our Support Library for troubleshooting steps.
Electrical Safety:
Only use the charger supplied by Ride1UP and never tamper or modify the charger in any way. Do not leave the e-bike or battery plugged into a wall outlet unattended. Unplug the battery before leaving the bike alone. The charger has been designed for a specific voltage and should not be tampered with in any way. Always check that the outlet’s voltage is the same as that stated on the rating label. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack; never use the charger with another e-bike or attempt to charge this product with a different charger than provided.
Before use, check the charger cord for signs of damage such as exposed wires or tears in the cable lining. A damaged or entangled charger cord increases the risk of fire and electric shock. Keep the charger cord at least 6ft away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Do not handle the charger with wet hands as it could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage. Do not store or charge the e-bike outdoors. The charger must be removed from the socket before removing the battery, cleaning, or maintaining the e-bike because this creates potential for electrical damage and/or injuries.
Brake Safety:
Regularly check your brakes for signs of wear and tear and functionality
such as a reduction in braking power. Before every ride, quickly test your
brakes by walking next to the e-bike and engaging the brakes assuring they are
properly working. Visibly check your brakes to ensure there is no damage such
as cracks and breaks. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal
injury, and/or property damage.
Any worn parts must be repaired or replaced immediately. Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Never brake with only your front brake. Practice emergency stops in a place clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling your e-bike. Wet weather reduces your braking power and the grip of the brakes. Reduce your speed and be aware of longer stopping distances when cycling in wet conditions. Braking on unpaved surfaces will differ. Be sure to practice braking on different surface types. Ensure that braking surfaces and brake pads are free of wax, grease, and oil. Do not pedal and brake at the same time as this will cause excessive wear.
Maintenance:
Make sure all screws, nuts, and bolts are tightened securely before riding.
Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property
damage. Many parts on your e-bike are subject to a higher degree of wear due
to their function and depending on their use such as brakes, tires, pedals,
etc. Have your e-bike checked regularly at a professional bike shop and have
any worn parts replaced. Depending on the level and extent of use, regularly
can mean as much as once a week, and as little as twice a year. It is the
rider’s/owner’s responsibility to ensure the e-bike is safe to ride at all
times.
Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before carrying out any maintenance. You must always use genuine replacement parts when performing maintenance on your e-bike. Regularly check the tire pressures (See sidewall of your tire for the correct psi range) and regularly check the tread depth of tires.
- After an accident or crash, you must take your e-bike to a bike repair specialist to make sure that it is safe to ride. Be aware that damage may not be visible. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, property damage, and/or a violation of the law.
- Any form of crack, scratches, or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicates that the life expectancy of the part has been reached and it should be replaced immediately.
Additional Warnings:
- Routine maintenance checks are required on your e-bike. Check all important connections, and brake functionality, and ensure axle nuts are secured before riding. Failure to do so could cause death, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
- It is recommended to not ride at night when visibility conditions are low if avoidable. Riding in the dark or low visibility conditions is more dangerous than riding during the day with clear visibility. Do not ride your bike at night without properly functioning front headlights and rear taillights. Wear reflective and light-colored clothing. Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or death.
- The e-bike is intended for use by those at least eighteen years of age. Use by anyone below the age of eighteen is prohibited. Riders must have the physical condition, reaction time, and mental capacity to ride safely and manage traffic, road conditions, sudden situations, and respect the laws governing electric bike use where they are riding. If you have an impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/language impairment, or a seizure disorder, consult your physician before riding any bike.
- Have installation/assembly checked by a professional bike mechanic or completed entirely by a bike mechanic prior to riding. All bolts and nuts should be checked. Failure to do so could result in serious injury and/or death.
- When operating your e-bike: Do not wear earplugs, headphones, or headsets, or use a cell phone while riding. Never hitch rides on other vehicles. Never hold an item that interferes with your grip on the handlebars and never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while riding.
- ALWAYS wear a helmet when riding your e-bike. Wear appropriate shoes, and eye protection, and avoid loose clothing. Wear reflective clothing and gear when visibility is diminished. Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or death.
It is your obligation to check all applicable laws for bicycle rules governing operation, equipment, use, and appropriate places for operation. Do not exceed local speed restrictions. Maintain your brakes such that you can at least execute a one-braked-wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement. Never configure your e-bike such that the handlebars are higher than a rider’s shoulders because this will reduce the rider’s ability to steer and control the e-bike. In addition to front and rear reflectors, you must also ensure that the e-bike is equipped with side reflectors. Never ride your e-bike without the seat provided with the e-bike.
This e-bike is not meant for downhill riding, rocky trails or aerial maneuvers.
- Do not ride your e-bike in unsafe weather conditions or when the road surface is comprised of ice, snow, water, sand, loose gravel, or anything else that could cause a loss of traction. Failure to follow this rule may result in serious injury and/or death.
- It is recommended to not ride in wet weather. Wet weather impairs the visibility, braking, and traction of the bike and affects others sharing the road. Accidents increase in wet weather conditions.
- Keep your e-bike and packaging materials such as plastics, foam, and cardboard away from children.
- Lithium-ion batteries can be extremely dangerous if stored or used improperly. Please learn proper care of your battery at http://batteryuniversity.com/. Damage to your lithium battery from misuse could result in serious injury, hazardous smoke and fires, and/or death. Do not ride if the battery pack is visibly damaged.
- Special precautions must be taken if you transport your e-bike with you during air travel, or if shipped by air courier. Be sure to follow all requirements of airlines and air couriers regarding lithium batteries if you take your e-bike with you during air travel, or if you ship your e-bike by air courier.
- Always be aware of the traffic around you. Keep a lookout for obstacles in your path and in your surroundings.
- Never operate a bike while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance or condition that could impair motor functions, judgement, or the ability to safely operate a bike.

- Insert the two turn signals and tighten them with the attached bolts.
Front Wheel and Fender Assembly:
- Remove front wheel from fully wrapped frame and separate front fender.
- Install the front fender using the hardware provided at the fork bridge and stanchions.
- Insert the screw through the fork’s bridge then through the fender’s top bracket and screw in the hex nut.
- Use the 5mm allen wrench and a 10mm wrench to tighten the screw and hex nut.
- Screw a 34mm screw through the bottom fender brackets and into the fork on both sides.
- Do not touch the brake pads or rotors with your fingers. The oil will contaminate them and cause noises when braking.
- Remove the front fork from the mounting plate, then remove the axle and hardware from the mounting plate.
- Remove the brake pad spacers – do not squeeze the brake lever until the wheel is installed.
- Insert the axle through the front wheel axle hole.
- Place the thin spacer and washer on the rotor side of the axle. Leave space for future tightening in the following steps. Screw but do not tighten the axle nut back onto the axle of the front wheel.
- Align the disc rotor so it fits between the brake pads. Do not force it. (Figure 1)
- Place the front wheel axle onto the fork dropouts assuring that the disc rotor is aligned and fits between the brake pads.
- Use two 13/15 wrenches to secure the front wheel to the fork by tightening both axle bolts at the same time.
WARNING
IT IS VITAL THAT THE AXLE BOLTS HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED. IF THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY
ALIGNED, THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
Pedal Assembly:
NOTE:
THE LEFT AND RIGHT PEDALS ARE UNIQUE.
- The left pedal (marked “L”) must be installed in the left crank arm. It is a reverse thread, that rotates counter-clockwise to install and tighten.
- Screw each pedal in by hand. They should screw in easily to start. Do not force them.
- The right pedal (marked “R”) must be installed in the right crank arm. It is a standard thread, rotated clockwise to install and tighten.
- Use a 15mm wrench on the pedals to finish tightening the pedals in place.
NOTE:
THERE ARE TWO PEDALS INCLUDED IN THE BOX WITH YOUR BIKE. THE PEDALS SCREW INTO
THE ENDS OF THE CRANKS WITHOUT EXTRA NUTS, SCREWS OR PINS. FAILURE TO USE THE
CORRECT PEDAL ON THE CORRECT SIDE WILL RESULT IN A STRIPPED CRANK ARM.
Detailed Torque Settings:
- Crank Arms: 39nm (pre-installed).
- Handlebar Clamp: 5-7nm (unless otherwise marked on a stem). Tighten evenly in a cross pattern so the gap at each bolt is the same.
Test and Adjust Front and Rear Brakes:
After Assembly, you must test your front and rear brakes. You can then adjust
them as needed. How you install the front wheel and brake caliper can affect
whether the disc brakes rub when first assembling. After assembly, you may
need to adjust the front and rear brakes. Look in line with the brake pads and
slowly tighten the quick-release axle while ensuring the rotor stays in the
exact middle between the pads. The disc rotor is one of the most exposed
malleable components during shipping. If it is bent, it can be trued (bent
back) in most cases or replaced with a new disc rotor. If unsure how to
properly adjust your brakes, please check our website for a recommended video.
If you are unable to access our website, you should take the bike to your
local bike shop for an assembly inspection and/or tune-up. The bike shop will
be able to inspect the bike for safety and adjust your brakes.
Battery Connection & Removal
- Insert the key into the battery keyhole.
- Turn the key in a clockwise direction (At 90 degrees) and remove the key.
- The battery is heavy, use both hands to avoid dropping and damaging the battery.
- Slide the battery backward and off the bike.
- Replace the battery by sliding in towards the front, then insert the key and turn to lock.
- The charging port is on the left side of the battery.
NOTE:
ALWAYS KEEP THE CHARGER PORT COVERED TO PROTECT AGAINST MOISTURE, WHICH CAN
DESTROY THE BATTERY.

FUNCTIONAL CONTROLS
LIGHT CONTROLS
- It is best practice, for safety, to only turn on your electric bike once you have lifted your leg over the bike and are straddling the frame. You should turn it on before you begin riding, but only once you are ready to ride.
- It is also best to turn off the bike when you are done riding after you dismount from the seat, but before you lift your leg over the bike to get off. If you stop to look at something or talk with someone, please turn off your bike for safety.
- Once the bike is powered on, the throttle is active, if engaged it will cause the bike to accelerate.
- If PAS is on and at 1 or higher if the pedals are bumped and move forward when next to or moving the bike, power will be sent to the motor and the bike will accelerate.
- Turning it on and off as described above will minimize the chance of the bike accelerating unintentionally.
- The + button increases pedal assist and the – button decreases pedal assist and can be set to off if you press the – button when on low.
- Once the bike is powered on, the headlight is turned on by pressing the power button once more.
- The throttle and pedal assist can be used simultaneously.
- You can turn the pedal assist off by pressing the – button past low, until a 0 (zero) number is showing, and ride only using the throttle if you like. The bike pedal assist uses a cadence sensor, which engages slightly delayed based on the rotation of the cranks. It will take some time to get used to this and manipulating the motor to engage and disengage when expected takes a little practice. You can adjust the sensitivity in the display settings.
- A quick backpedal or slight engagement of the brake lever instantly stops the motor. You can adjust the sensitivity of the cadence sensor and other pedal assist settings by referring to the LCD manual. We also have videos on our website and YouTube channel guiding you through this process.
NOTE:
DO NOT CHARGE YOUR BATTERY WHEN THE BATTERY’S TEMPERATURE OR THE SPACE IT IS
STORED IN IS BELOW FREEZING (32 DEGREES F).
Battery Basics & Care:
NOTE:
Never charge your battery when it’s temperature or the space it is stored in
is below freezing. Failure to follow this rule could result in serious injury,
death, and property damage.
When charging your battery, do not charge near any potentially flammable material. Charge in a safe fire-resistant space. The chargers will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. However, if you are storing the e-bike for more than a day, do not leave it plugged in. It is best to leave it charged to 80% but unplugged. The button on the side of the battery works as a charge level indicator. It is not an on-off button.
When riding always cover the charger port with the rubber cover. If moisture gets in, the battery can be destroyed. Everyone is encouraged to learn a little bit more about the basics of lithium-ion battery care and proper treatment. For extended life, charge your battery to 80% and use it until it is at 20%. Depending on the charge level when plugged in, it takes 3-6 hours for the battery to fully charge when using the standard charger supplied with the bike. Charging for 1-2 hours will keep it near 80% depending on last usage. You can check the charge percentage on the display.
If storing for longer periods, it is a good idea to store your battery with a 40-80% charge. Check the battery once a month. If the battery drops to 25% or lower, charge it up to 40-80%. Recommended storage temperatures are 50°-77°F and will provide the best performance out of the battery. Storage should be done in a dry area.
Common Noises & Care:
- Fenders: If you are experiencing rubbing or rattling fenders, this can be fixed. Firstly, the front fender tab that attaches to the fork can be mounted on the back to provide more spacing, or the front for a tighter fit. The fender arms are also malleable and sometimes need to be bent with the wheel off to be centered with the wheel.
- Noise When Riding: Gears, fenders, and brakes are the most common sources of riding noise. Additionally, the front hub can sometimes make a squeaking noise if it does not have enough grease. Pay attention to the noises. They are usually symptomatic of a minor issue that could cause more problems later. It is best to determine what is causing the noise and resolve the issue. If you are unsure of the cause, please review our support page at www.Ride1UP.com. You can also share a clear video without wind noise to Support@Ride1UP.com.
Troubleshooting Problems
Motor Not Working:
One of the worst problems to experience. What needs to be done? Determine
the source or cause of the issue(s). What to look for:
- Display Settings: Perhaps a setting was accidentally changed. Try resetting the display by conducting a factory reset. Review the display manual or display support page on www.Ride1UP.com to reset the display.
- Cables: Look for kinked, loose, disconnected, or damaged cables. Check the quick disconnect connections, especially the one on the chain stay or display. Consider disconnecting them, inspecting both ends (ensuring the pins are not bent), then carefully plugging them back together ensuring they are properly aligned to the orientation arrows.
- Accident: After a crash or if the bike is dropped, and the motor cable is damaged where it exits the axle, the motor may no longer function. This requires replacement motor parts and a more time-consuming/costly repair. Reach out to customer support if you see damage to the cable.
- EBS: Electronic Brake Shut-Off. Another possible cause is that the electronic brake shut-off sensors are firing when they shouldn’t be. This can happen typically when there is damage to the brake levers or the cables themselves causing a miscommunication with the internal controller. The best way to identify this issue is to unplug these cables from the internal controller and test. You can find the diagram for the internal wiring at the end of this document. There is also a video demonstrating the removal of the controller on our YouTube channel/website link.
Kickstand:
Does the bike sit too low with the kickstand? The kickstand length is
adjustable. Loosen the bolt on the bike and slide to the desirable length.
Check the bolt tension when first assembling as well to make sure the bolt
does not rattle loose. Is there a clicking noise with the kickstand? Make sure
it is parallel with the chainstay and fully tightened (8mm hex wrench). If it
shifts, it will hit the crank arm when pedaling.
Charger:
A green light indicates the charger is powered but not charging. The red light
indicates charging. Do not charge the battery near anything flammable or store
the e-bike longer than 24 hours while plugged in. If you are having issues
with the battery not charging, try riding the bike again, draining some
batteries, and using a different outlet. Try connecting and disconnecting the
charger 3-5 times to confirm the charge indicator changes from green to red.
Then reach out to support if the issue is not resolved.
Charging the Battery
WARNING
DO NOT LEAVE THE CHARGING BATTERY UNATTENDED.
- The battery’s voltage is indicated by the 4 LED lights located on the side of the battery and also on the display unit located on the handlebars. Your battery must be charged in an ambient temperature, on a non-flammable and dry surface, away from any sources of heat, humidity, or flammable materials. Also, it must not be covered.

- It is also best practice for safety to turn off the bike when you are done riding after you dismount from the seat, but before you lift your leg over the bike to get off. If you stop to look at something or talk with someone, please turn off your bike for safety.
- Once the bike is powered on, the throttle is active, if pushed it will cause the bike to accelerate. If PAS is on and at 1 or higher if the pedals are bumped and move forward when next to or moving the bike, power will be sent to the motor and the bike will accelerate.
- Turning it on and off as described above will minimize the chance of the bike accelerating unintentionally.

Off Road Mode
The Revv 1 is shipped with a default Class 2 (pedelec) setting which limits top speeds to 20mph using throttle and pedal assist. For speeds more than 28mph, the rider must contact Ride1Up Customer Support to acknowledge private road use only and compliance with local laws and regulations. The rider must execute the Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, and Indemnity Agreement before instructions are given to the rider on how to unlock the Off-Road Mode.
When you have access to safe terrain on private property, Off-Road Mode allows riders to achieve speeds more than 28mph. Top speeds are dependent on many factors such as rider strength and weight, terrain, and weather conditions and should only be accessed after reading and understanding all sections of the entire manual in addition to being experienced riding the bicycle in Class 3 mode.
