    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    I agree..any tips and tricks you might have to help me use the Nuvinci to extend the battery life would be much appreciated. I can't figure it out. If Priority came out with a 600wh battery, I'd buy it.

    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    I have a priority current. I've only taken a couple or short rides on it but I'm a little concerned about range. There is no jerkiness, but there is a slight lag between switching assist levels. The Nuvinci hub is a bit of a learning curve that I can say I have not adjusted to yet. When I...

    I would agree, it was one of the concerns I had about taking a flyer and ordering it. Looking at the Priority Riders page, there is another early adopter who was getting some pretty good range on mixed level/elevation rides. +/- 50.

    I listened to this review while waiting at FedEx to pick up my current. I have to admit I was pretty nervous about the cons. Doing the unboxing now.

    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    Just pulled the trigger on the Priority Current + rack. Why? 1.early review from one seemingly detailed rider confirmed the range would be +/- 50 miles. 2. Price. 3. The ability to return. 4. The Enviolo Hub. 5. The belt drive. 6. The reputation for quality on other models. Other...

    From the Priority FB page: Just got my new Current yesterday. Charged the battery after assembly and went for a 20 mile ride today. 10 miles downhill (700 foot elevation change) in PAS 0 & 1.

    Okay...a little more info. A rider on instagram says he took it 14 miles on 28% battery averaging level 3 assist. 5 on the hills/bridges, O on the downhills, 2-3 on the flats. He doesn't own one. Just a test ride.

    Priority Current: Class 3 Urban Mid-Drive Belt E-Bike, 500W, Integrated Removable 500WH Battery, 140 NM, $3300 S/M/L

    Thanks. I’ve read on other sites that motor company is a new company founded by people from Bafang. When I asked them if they had a torque or cadence sensor, they said torque. I might take a chance on ordering one because they said return shipping is $60.

    Gazelle T10 or Specialized Vado 4.0?

    Their is a new bike available now. The Gazelle Medeo T10+. It is the same price as the Vado 4, Deore components. I’m going to try to take a test ride today. I agree with you, if one bike had a larger battery, the decision would be made.

    I would love to get an idea of the "range" you get on the 3.0. I'm thinking I could overcome the torque and hill climbing by using a higher assist level, but that would definitely impact range. Thanks in advance.

    This appears to be the case. I read somewhere that they have suppressed the torque on the “e” by about 15%
