Is the Portola good for a tall or heavy rider?

Owners up to about 6 feet and 250 lbs report a good fit, and the bike is rated for a 300 lb payload. Larger riders may find the display small.

How does the Portola compare with the Portola 1?

The Portola adds a color display, turn signals, a stronger rear rack and easier battery removal. Some owners say the Portola 1 felt faster and more powerful.

Should I get the 10Ah or 15Ah battery?

The 10Ah battery is rated for roughly 20 to 40 miles of range. Choose the 15Ah if your commute is long or you ride with cargo and pedal assist high.

Can I carry a passenger or cargo on the rear rack?

The welded rear rack is rated to 150 lbs and works with Ride1Up's Connect+ accessories, including an extendable cargo rack.

Does the Portola fold small enough for a car trunk or apartment?

It folds at the stem and downtube and weighs about 59 lbs. That fits most trunks and closets, but it is heavy to carry up stairs.

What comes in the box?

You get the bike, two battery keys, a UL-compliant 48V 2A charger and its cable. Accessories such as the cargo rack are sold separately.
