Ride1Up Portola 02 weight: brand claim vs scale readings
Electric Bike Review weighed the Ride1Up Portola 02 (standard Portola 02 with the 15 Ah battery) at 70.9 lb with its battery; other configurations may weigh less, and we haven't confirmed the base version's weight. The brand says 61 lb (the brand doesn't say what equipment is included). We screen on the heavier figure. 70.9 lb measured by a reviewer (brand says 61 lb): plan for ground-floor or elevator storage.
