TrailRush: 36 Times 14 Is 504 Wh
Ride1Up’s TrailRush is a hardtail with a Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive, 90 newton-meters, and a 36-volt, 14-amp-hour pack. Thirty-six times 14 is 504 watt-hours, which is the number on the range chip. The chip says 30 to 50 miles. Fifty miles is 10.1 watt-hours a mile. WIRED, in August 2025, put the price at $2,095 and the sustained motor at 250 watts. Ride1Up’s own page does not print the watts. WIRED also wrote “30 to 50 hours.” The chip says miles. No throttle. This desk did not ride it.

The short answer
The Ride1Up TrailRush is a hardtail with a Brose TF Sprinter, 90 newton-meters, and a 36-volt, 14-amp-hour pack. Thirty-six times 14 is 504 watt-hours. The chip says 30 to 50 miles, which is 10.1 to 16.8 watt-hours a mile. WIRED printed 250 watts and $2,095. Ride1Up’s page does not print the watts. No throttle.
The TrailRush product page prints a Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive, German, 90 newton-meters, a torque sensor, and a battery of 36 volts and 14 amp-hours, Phylion, Samsung cells. Thirty-six times 14 is 504. The range chip says 30 to 50 miles and puts 504 watt-hours in parentheses, so the watt-hours match the multiplication. Five hundred four divided by 50 is 10.1 watt-hours a mile. Divided by 30 it is 16.8. The range page is why that band is not a loop. The mountain guide is the fork: 120 mm RockShox Judy Silver TK, a hardtail, not a rear shock. Tires are Maxxis Minion 29 by 2.6. Brakes are Tektro Orion quad-piston. The drivetrain is Shimano Deore, 10-speed. The dropper is 150 mm.
250 watts is WIRED’s sentence
Ride1Up prints 90 newton-meters and does not print a watt. WIRED printed 250 watts sustained. Those are not the same kind of number.
WIRED’s 30 August 2025 review says the TF Sprinter is 90 newton-meters and 250 watts sustained, and that $2,095 was the price, with a sale line at $1,995. The product page this desk opened says a Black Friday cut of up to $200 and does not print the dollar. Two hundred off $2,095 would be $1,895, which is not the $1,995 WIRED also printed, so this desk will not do that subtraction as today’s price. Two hundred fifty watts is under 750. The page does not confirm the 250. The motor page is why a newton-meter is not a watt. The Prodigy V2 Eco is the other Ride1Up mid-drive on this desk, and it is not this frame.
Hours was a slip
WIRED wrote that the battery “promises 30 to 50 hours of range.” Ride1Up’s chip says 30 to 50 miles. Hours and miles are not a rounding. WIRED also says it is a Class 3 bike, no throttle, assist to 28 mph, and that it is not UL certified. The product page says up to 28 mph and a torque sensor, and it does not print a throttle. If there is no throttle and assist stops at 28, that is the shape of Class 3, and the missing watt on Ride1Up’s page is the part this desk will not fill in. The class chart is the test. No public loop that emptied the 504 watt-hours, with a rider weight, turned up beyond WIRED’s review, and WIRED did not print a measured mile. This desk did not ride it.
Questions people ask
How big is the TrailRush battery?+
The page prints 36 volts and 14 amp-hours, Phylion, Samsung cells. Thirty-six times 14 is 504 watt-hours, which is the number on the range chip. The chip says 30 to 50 miles.
Is the TrailRush a 250-watt bike?+
WIRED’s 30 August 2025 review says 250 watts sustained. Ride1Up’s product page prints 90 newton-meters and does not print a watt. Do not fill the blank with WIRED’s number and call it the page.
How much is the Ride1Up TrailRush?+
WIRED printed $2,095, and a sale line at $1,995. The product page says a Black Friday cut of up to $200 and does not print the dollar. Two hundred off $2,095 is $1,895, which is not the $1,995, so this desk will not call that today’s price.
Is the TrailRush Class 3?+
WIRED says Class 3, no throttle, assist to 28 mph. The product page says up to 28 mph and does not print a throttle. If both of those hold, that is the shape of Class 3. The missing watt is the part this desk will not invent.

Electric Mountain Bikes: Gen 5 CX Is 120 Nm. Gen 4 Stays 85.
Bosch’s 2026 upgrade sheet takes the Performance Line CX Gen 5 from a factory 85 newton-meters and 600 watts to 120 newton-meters and 750 watts. The Gen 4 CX stays at 85 and 600. The SX stays at 60 newton-meters, and older SX bikes were 55 until an update. A 600 percent assist figure applies only up to 15 km/h. A trail post is not a motor spec.

E-Bike Range: How Far Can You Actually Ride?
A brochure mile is not a loop. On the Lectric XP4’s 500 watt-hour pack, the claim is 50 miles and Outdoor Gear Lab’s throttle loop was 19.1. Five hundred divided by 19.1 is about 26.2 watt-hours a mile. Do not average that with an Eco ride.

E-Bike Motors: The Complete Guide
A hub turns the wheel and ignores the gears. A mid-drive turns the chainring and uses them. Nominal watts are not peak watts. Newton-meters at the axle are not newton-meters at the crank.
