Ride1Up made a move that goes against the grain of the pricing strategy of many other e-bike companies, which often rely on a higher MSRP for their e-bikes, but then offer big discounts a few times of the year during sales events (or perpetually).

I looked at them but heard some really bad stories in mountain bike / bike chats. Apparently, some use proprietary spokes, and R1U support dragged their feet for two months before the customer got their bike back. If you are looking for bike shop compatibility, Aventon or Radpower are decent, if fairly proprietary. You can get those worked on at partner shops quite easily Juiced Bikes don’t have many repair locations, but their parts are fairly standard and they reuse parts like batteries up and down the product stack and are generally pretty repairable by hand. I ended up with a Juiced RipRacer after looking at the RideOneUp 700 and the Aventon commuter (the Juiced bike was smaller for a compact apartment, had more power, never seen a bike that looked like so much fun).
