Ride1UP Turris ST Review, 2024

This step-through e-bike takes cues from its sibling, the Turris XR, offering a comfortable ride with undeniable style. Yet, the Turris ST brings its own unique flavor, catering to both city streets and light trails. Fenders and integrated lights highlight its commuter practicality, while knobby tires, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and that 100mm front suspension fork hint at its adventurous side.

And let’s not forget the quality components: a trusted Shimano drivetrain, grippy Kenda Boost tires, and those eye-catching colorways – all surprisingly (to us) packaged under that $1300 mark.

So, does the Turris ST live up to Ride1Up’s founding promise? Does it strike that delicate balance between affordability and long-lasting performance? Well, we put it to the test, and our full Ride1Up Turris ST review will uncover all the details!

SRAM Patents Compact Motor and Battery Unit

Component maker SRAM has applied for a patent for a new compact motor and battery unit that would present a different approach to e-bike design. The design would use a mid-drive motor and considering the number of cells held in the casing (29 in the illustration above), it is likely to be a relatively low-wattage motor.

There are several features of this design that are notable. First is the fact that the entire motor is concentric with the bottom bracket spindle, making it one of the most compact designs we’ve seen.
