First - this will be my 15th ebike purchase. (4 Ecotric, 1 Bandit, 5 Aventon and 4 Ride1Up) so I do have a little experience with ebikes. The Urtopia was purchased to be more of a city commuter that would be more of a bicycle than an ebike. Something lighter and more agile. Most of all my earlier purchases were fat tire bikes and at 74 years young it's time to stick to the paved bike paths more and more. (Ok, I did keep one fat tire bike just to feel young and tough)
So here I go - first the things I don't like about this bike. First, after using the automated chat to ask the question whether the Urtopia App was compatible with the Fusion Pro-E, the answer was yes! Wrong, it is NOT compatible! it would have been nice to have the app available, but not show stopper. Second thing, I asked the question whether the step through design combined with the fusion process would result in frame flex. Their answer was NO, I disagree a little bit - just a little bit. Although the frame wobble is very, very, very minimal, it is evident and would be could be quite hazardous if you let go of the handlebars for a second or two. (SO DON'T) Thirdly, after watching the video associated with this model bike, the gentleman who made the video described himself as a 240# man and he could get @ 50 miles on a charge - hmmmmm, I'm 226# and I got 39.7 miles in Turbo mode or pedal assist 2. Yeah, I realize there are a lot variables in mileage determination, but I always pedal and only use the throttle to push off. Just something to think about. I'm waiting for the extension battery to arrive from B/O so I can order it which will expand my mileage. I don't believe it would 120 miles, but 50-60 miles would be nice.
Now the good things - the bike arrived to my destination in Minnesota in 5 working days. Packaging was great. No dings or damage AT ALL! This bike is built and assembled beautifully. IT IS SHARP!!!, and fun to ride. The torque sensor functionality is FANTASTIC! I've always had cadence sensors. The Urtopia Fusion Pro-E has many branded parts which are installed solidly and securely. Out of the box assembly was rather simple and it was the first bike that I did NOT have to adjust the brake calipers. I've added new grips, three inch riser handle bars, phone holder, blue tooth speaker, water bottle, trunk and a couple of locks. After a few days, I've rode 108 miles and have had many compliments.
Yes, the bike is a keeper and I'm looking forward to many years of riding. It's the most expensive bike I've ever ordered, but I'm very happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend to anyone that asked my opinion and that folks -
Is my 2 cents worth!
