“Dude. Is that an ebike?” The call came from a man on the sidewalk with a pierced septum and a tattoo of a bike chain. He wasn’t the only one who asked. The Ride1Up Roadster V3 doesn’t look like an ebike, which is precisely why it drew notice from former bike shop repairmen and fitness-obsessed schoolteachers. “嘿，那是电助力车吗？”路边一位鼻环男喊道，他身上还纹着自行车链条的图案。问这个问题的人不止他一个。Ride1Up Roadster V3 看起来并不像一辆电助力车，这正是它能吸引前自行车店维修工和健身狂热教师注意的原因。
Ride1Up’s city commuter Roadster, released a year ago and popular enough it went in and out of stock through much of 2025, is at the vanguard of a new generation of smartly integrated ebikes that look and feel like a bike without motor assist. Like the Aventon Soltera 3 we rated this year as WIRED’s favorite commuter bike, the Roadster V3 is a lightweight ebike excellent for tooling around the city, weighing about 40 pounds depending on the precise model. Its proportional torque assist can make it feel a lot like an extra-peppy classic bike—albeit one whose 500-watt motor can crank up to 28 miles an hour when set to operate as a Class 3 ebike. Ride1Up 的城市通勤车 Roadster 于一年前发布，因极受欢迎，在 2025 年的大部分时间里都处于断货状态。它是新一代智能集成电助力车的先驱，外观和骑行感受都与普通自行车无异。正如我们今年评选为 WIRED 年度最爱通勤车的 Aventon Soltera 3 一样，Roadster V3 是一款轻量化电助力车，非常适合城市代步，根据具体型号不同，重量约为 40 磅。其比例扭矩助力系统让它骑起来像一辆动力十足的传统自行车——尽管它配备了 500 瓦电机，在设置为 Class 3 模式时，时速可达 28 英里。
This is an ebike geared toward how I usually want to use an ebike: as a fast and versatile city bike for kicking around my city of Portland, Oregon. I have spent months, and hundreds of miles, riding the nine-speed model of the Roadster V3 to grocery stores and friends’ houses—up steep ridges and across rivers, or just down the street—and lifting it one-handed up my stairs and into my house. The Roadster rides like a bicycle that’s easier to pedal. This is how I want it to feel. 这款电助力车非常符合我平时的使用需求：作为一辆快速且多功能的城市自行车，穿梭于俄勒冈州波特兰市。我花了几个月时间，骑行了数百英里，骑着九速版的 Roadster V3 去杂货店、去朋友家——翻越陡峭的山脊、跨过河流，或者只是在街上骑行。我甚至可以单手把它拎上楼梯带回家。Roadster 的骑行感就像是一辆踩起来更轻松的自行车，这正是我想要的体验。
At $1,395, Ride1Up’s roadster is also affordable for a high-performance ebike with premium parts and a throttle to help launch up difficult hills. The 20- to 40-mile range is limiting for long-distance touring but more than sufficient for most daily commutes. A dearth of affiliated repair shops is a worry for service, a common problem with direct-to-consumer ebikes, because most regular bike shops refuse to even fix a flat if they don’t sell a particular brand. But the Ride1Up also punches well above its price class in power, features, and versatility. 1,395 美元的价格对于一款配备高端零件、且带有助力油门以应对陡坡的高性能电助力车来说，非常实惠。20 到 40 英里的续航里程对于长途旅行来说可能有限，但对于大多数日常通勤绰绰有余。缺乏授权维修店是售后的一大隐忧，这也是直销型电助力车的通病，因为大多数普通自行车店如果不出售该品牌，甚至拒绝修理爆胎。但 Ride1Up 在动力、功能和多功能性方面，表现远超其价格定位。
Belts and Chains / 皮带与链条
San Diego-based Ride1Up is a newer ebike company, less than a decade old. The company is building its reputation mostly by offering a lot of specialized and utility bikes at accessible prices. But as someone who often favors classic road bikes, I’ll admit some of their other models have struck me as a bit chunky or over-engineered, geared to trail riders and the sort of person who wants to cart a surfboard to the beach. 总部位于圣地亚哥的 Ride1Up 是一家成立不到十年的新兴电助力车公司。该公司主要通过以亲民价格提供大量专业和实用型自行车来建立声誉。但作为一个偏爱经典公路车的人，我不得不承认，他们的一些其他型号看起来有点笨重或设计过度，更适合越野骑行者或那些想带着冲浪板去海滩的人。
Not so the Roadster. The Roadster V3 is fun and light and is easy to mistake for a classic bicycle even when you’re riding it. The cables run through the hollow of the frame. The battery, while removable, is also integrated almost imperceptibly into the chassis. Roadster 则不然。Roadster V3 有趣且轻便，即使在骑行时也很容易被误认为是传统自行车。线缆隐藏在车架内部，电池虽然可拆卸，但也几乎完美地融入了车身结构中。
At its price, it offers a surprising amount of customization. Three frame sizes make the bike accessible to riders from 5’2” to 6’4”. At above 6 feet and 200 pounds myself, I opted for the largest frame, which still weighs only 40 pounds. 在这个价位上，它提供了令人惊讶的定制空间。三种车架尺寸可供身高 5 英尺 2 英寸到 6 英尺 4 英寸的骑行者选择。我身高超过 6 英尺，体重 200 磅，选择了最大的车架，而它的重量依然只有 40 磅。
Those tired of greasy hands will probably be most excited about the option to outfit the Roadster with a Dayco carbon belt drive—a no-oil, no-grease, quiet, low-maintenance option that often lasts longer than a bike chain. But in a river town bisected by a steep ridge, I opted for the nine-speed chain so I could coast up high grades on lower gears. Off-roaders can add a suspension fork for a $50 upcharge to absorb some trail vibration. 厌倦了弄脏双手的人可能会对选配 Dayco 碳纤维皮带传动系统感到兴奋——这是一种无需上油、无油脂、安静且低维护的选择，通常比自行车链条寿命更长。但在一个被陡峭山脊横穿的河滨城市，我选择了九速链条版，这样我可以用低档位轻松爬坡。越野爱好者还可以额外支付 50 美元加装避震前叉，以吸收部分路面震动。
The Roadster also has a lot of class. Specifically, it spans all three ebike classes, from 1 to 3. Out of the box, it’s a Class 1 ebike, throttled at 20 miles an hour and allowed in most states wherever basic自行车 are permitted. The throttle on the left handlebar means the Roadster can also run as a Class 2 ebike. If you toggle the ebike’s settings, you can uncork speeds up to 28 miles an hour and operate the Roadster as a Class 3 ebike—which in many states will trigger additional riding restrictions but allowed me to keep up with cars on city streets. Roadster 的定位也非常灵活。具体来说，它涵盖了从 1 到 3 的所有电助力车等级。开箱即用时，它是一辆 Class 1 电助力车，限速 20 英里/小时，在大多数州允许普通自行车通行的地方均可骑行。左车把上的油门意味着 Roadster 也可以作为 Class 2 电助力车使用。如果你调整设置，可以将速度提升至 28 英里/小时，将其作为 Class 3 电助力车使用——这在许多州会触发额外的骑行限制，但它确实让我在城市街道上能够跟上汽车的速度。
Headlights and taillights come stock and are integrated into the bike. The alloy frame is strong but light, the seat is a cushy Selle Royal, and the wheels I received as stock were Schwalbe G-One RS—a low-resistance tire made for speed and equally suited to gravel or road surfaces. Some Roadsters might get a more rugged Continental Terra Trail tire as a stock tire instead. Note that the built-in screen is small enough that I need my reading glasses to read it (though riding modes are helpfully color-coded). 前灯和尾灯是标配并集成在车身上的。合金车架坚固且轻便，座椅是舒适的 Selle Royal，我收到的标配轮胎是 Schwalbe G-One RS——这是一款为速度而生的低阻力轮胎，同样适用于碎石路或公路。部分 Roadster 可能会配备更粗犷的 Continental Terra Trail 轮胎。需要注意的是，内置屏幕非常小，我需要戴上老花镜才能看清（尽管骑行模式有颜色编码，这很有帮助）。
Bionic Legs / 仿生双腿
With the specs out of the way, let’s get to the thing that I find most exciting on the Roadster: the well-calibrated torque assist. Lower-budget or older ebikes, including the previous Ride1Up Roadster V2, often have cadence assist, which offers a fixed amount of support as you pedal. 抛开参数不谈，让我们聊聊 Roadster 最让我兴奋的地方：校准精准的扭矩助力系统。低预算或较旧的电助力车（包括上一代 Ride1Up Roadster V2）通常采用踏频助力，即在你踩踏时提供固定比例的辅助。
Torque assist makes an ebike feel more natural, because it offers a proportionate response: The harder you pedal, the harder your bike pushes. But there’s a risk to this. With any sensor lag or bad programming, torque assist can feel artificial or jerky and not offer enough support when accelerating from a stationary position. 扭矩助力让电助力车的骑行感更自然，因为它提供的是比例响应：你踩得越用力，车子给的助力就越大。但这也有风险。如果传感器有延迟或程序编写不佳，扭矩助力可能会让人感觉生硬或突兀，且在静止起步时无法提供足够的支撑。
This is rarely true with the Roadster. When I use it on lower settings, the Roadster feels a lot like riding a classic 10-speed, but with bionic legs. There are four levels of assist: Eco, Tour, Sport, and Boost. The lower three ride so smoothly and responsively that the assist was near unnoticeable except that I am, of course, moving faster and with less effort. The motor is quiet enough that the hum is barely audible above the wind in my ears. 这种情况在 Roadster 上几乎不会发生。当我在较低档位使用时，Roadster 的骑行感非常像一辆经典的 10 速自行车，但就像拥有了仿生双腿一样。它有四个助力等级：Eco（经济）、Tour（巡航）、Sport（运动）和 Boost（增强）。前三个档位骑行起来非常平顺且响应灵敏，以至于我几乎感觉不到助力的存在，除了我确实骑得更快、更省力了。电机非常安静，其嗡嗡声几乎被耳边的风声掩盖。
