The Core-5 features a powerful 750-watt motor that offers 20-40 miles of range with a 20 mph throttle. The overall design of the eBike is sleek and clean owing to its distinct, durable frame that permits a range of riding heights from 5' to 6'1. The Core-5 is built to endure daily commutes and off-road adventures. With its lightweight frame and water-resistant technology, the eBike is both portable and dependable. Because it comes mostly assembled rather than fully assembled, Ride1Up saves money in shipping costs, and these savings are passed on to the consumer. The Core-5 comes in two frame variants, the ST and the [XR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravel-ebikes), and two colors, Slate Blue and Midnight Gray.
