The Ride1Up Vorsa is a modular eBike that can serve as a commuter, a cargo bike, or a two-passenger bike based on the configuration of the rear rack.

With a 440-pound payload capacity, including 150 pounds of capacity on the rear rack, the SUV-inspired Vorsa can easily handle any cargo you throw at it. Optional rear rack add-ons including a passenger kit, rear rack extension, basket and platform rack, make it even easier to carry whatever you want.

The customization options don’t end with the rear rack. The Ride1Up Vorsa also includes the ‘most customizable PAS’ color display, that allows the users to change from Class 2, to 3 with top speeds of 28 mph, or even beyond using “off-road mode.” The display also features iOS AirTag tracking and USB-C accessory charging ports.

A 750-watt hub motor is paired to a 15Ah battery, which gives 30-60 miles of range. Star Union hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors up front and 203mm in the rear provide the stopping power.

Shifting of the Ride1Up Vorsa is courtesy of a Shimano Acera 8-speed rear derailleur tied to an 11-34T rear cassette.

The Vorsa rolls on Schwalbe Smart Sam 27.5×2.6″ touring tires and a 100mm coil spring suspension front fork with lockout helps dampen the bumps.

An integrated 100 lumen front light and rear light attached to the rack, provide safety and visibility.

The Ride1Up Vorsa is available in Glacier (blue), Sage or Slate colors and either a step-through or step-over frame, both of which weigh 65 pounds. As of publishing, the Vorsa retails for $1,595 at ride1up.com.
