Folding bike on 20 x 3 tyres with a 100mm hydraulic-lockout fork, Intui-Drive dual torque and cadence sensing (MIVICE), 28 mph pedal assist and a 20 mph thumb throttle. Ships as Class 2 and can be set to Class 1, 2 or 3 from the display. THIS URL SELLS TWO BIKES, EACH WITH TWO BATTERIES: Portola 02 Lite 10Ah $895 / 15Ah $995, Portola 02 10Ah $995 / 15Ah $1,095. This record is the Portola 02 with the 15Ah pack. Per the page FAQ the two share frame, motor, sensor and battery options; the 02 adds welded fenders, an integrated 150 lb rack (Connect+ compatible) and a brake light with turn signals, where the Lite has a seatpost rear light. The page gives 15Ah and a 48V charger but no pack voltage; 720Wh is computed from 48V x 15Ah as stated on Ride1Up's own Portola 02 Battery page (ride1up.com/product/portola-02-battery/). Weight is the page's figure for the 02 with 15Ah (61 lb with 10Ah; the Lite is 58/60 lb). Battery is TUV certified to UL 2271 and the bike to ANSI/CAN/UL 2849. Ride1Up publishes no model year, so 2026 is the year the page was read. Some colours were on pre-order when read.

Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Ride1Up states: “TUV ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 & 2271 compliant, certified through TUV for most of their inventory” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
