The new Ride1Up TrailRush is a high-performance, full-suspension electric mountain bike (eMTB) designed for riders who want serious trail capability with the convenience of pedal assist. With a powerful Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive motor, premium components, and smart design choices, the TrailRush offers impressive value and performance in the crowded eMTB space.
Built To Power Through Anything
At the heart of the TrailRush is a German-engineered Brose TF Sprinter motor, delivering up to 90Nm of torque — ideal for steep climbs and rugged terrain. It’s a Class 3 e-bike, meaning it can reach pedal-assist speeds of up to 28 mph. The motor’s quiet, natural-feeling assistance is driven by a sensitive torque sensor integrated into the bottom bracket, offering a smooth and responsive ride.
Paired with a 36V 14Ah (504Wh) Samsung cell battery, the TrailRush can cover between 30 to 50 miles on a single charge, depending on factors like rider weight, elevation, and level of assist. The battery is neatly integrated into the frame and removable with a key for easy charging and security.
Premium Components Where It Counts
The TrailRush is built to handle serious off-road adventures. A RockShox Judy Silver TK air fork with 120mm of travel offers excellent shock absorption, and the Exaform KSP900 dropper post (150mm travel) allows for quick saddle height adjustments on technical trails. The bike rolls on 29” Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR 2.6” tubeless-ready tires, providing great grip and cushioning on challenging terrain.
Braking power comes from Tektro Orion HD-M745 quad-piston hydraulic disc brakes, known for their reliability and strong stopping power. The Shimano Deore 10-speed drivetrain offers smooth, precise shifting with an 11-36T cassette that’s trail-optimized.
Designed For Control & Comfort
The TrailRush features a sturdy yet lightweight aluminum alloy frame, with all electronics internally routed and protected. The handlebar is 780mm wide, giving you confident control, and the cockpit includes a 1.5-inch Brose color TFT display that clearly shows your speed, assist level, range, and other ride metrics. It comes in two sizes, Medium and Large, fitting riders from 5’5″ to 6’4″, with a generous 350 lb weight capacity.
Thoughtful Extras & Peace of Mind
The bike includes practical features like a chainstay guard, water bottle mounts, and secure frame integration for cables and electronics. A 2A charger is included, and the bike comes with two keys for the battery lock. Ride1Up backs the TrailRush with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day return policy, plus free shipping within the US.
