Thank you! As always, thanks for sharing your experience! I swear if I spend $3000 on a bike and it ends up being barely better than a citi bike I'm going to be very annoyed The position was also one of my concerns, but I guess you can always change the handlebars/stem. But it would be great...

That is indeed something I hadn't thought about! And by the way, it's not a Bafang. Thanks, I read the whole thing and it's indeed very helpful! This also gave me a lot to think about and learn from. I'm not about to hijack @Marrduk24's thread, but suffice to say that given that $2700 is the...

I don't think savings are a factor here. Both bikes are about the same price. The Current is $2700 and the Momentum is $2800. I think people are attracted to it mostly due to the novelty of a belt drive ebike, rather than cost savings - I know I am. Can you talk a bit more about the problems...

You might benefit from the discussion here https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/sub-3000-leisure-commuter-bike-for-hilly-area.39435/ I'm in the exact same boat and would love to hear more details on your impressions of the Transcend. I love the Current on paper but got a lot to think...

Ah, that makes sense. When you mentioned cruiser, I went straight to the Vida because of the swept back handlebars. It makes sense that the Transend is the 28mph model! The weight also sounds great with all that added. Thanks for sharing your experience, it's very helpful. There are several...

Regarding the # of bikes - now that makes more sense! :D And yes, the unknown motor is definitely a cause for concern. At least the Current has a 2-year warranty on components, but I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Are motor failures common? I agree that if the motor fails outside of the...

Ah, this also made me realize the Priority does not have a Walk Mode as far as I know. I either make it up the hill by riding or I have to haul the thing uphill. Thanks, @AHicks. This is helpful (and not just because your first sentence is what I wanted to hear all along!). Regarding...

Right! And that is a good reason. I feel like the Rize brings a better value than the Priority Current, given that it has much more power, suspension, bigger battery, throttle, etc. However, the low maintenance features of the Current are what attracts me: belt drive, internal gear hub, etc...

Nothing to be sorry about - just look at mine/the thread. :) In terms of riding position at least, the Como and the Vado look very different. The Vado has a very aggressive riding position and seems definitely intended for speed. The Como looks a lot like a cruiser with a much more upright...

Ah, yes, that's good advice! I definitely see where you're coming from now. My experience with bikes/ebikes is limited, but it exists :) I had a (regular) Electra cruiser which I rode every day between 2017 and 2019. Heavy and slow, but very comfortable. As far as ebikes go, for most of last...

Hey folks - thanks for the great responses so far! Oh, awesome, glad to know that it's not just me who has bikes with widely different prices in their list :) I considered the Level in the past, but not anymore. I'd consider it to be closer to the Ride1UP. However, torque sensor is a...

Yes, I think you're right regarding suspension. If my commute ends up becoming bumpy, I can always add a suspension seatpost for not much more. Regarding purchasing from LBS - I understand. The people from my LBS are great. I also would love to try the bike beforehand. However, I always feel...

Thank you! On the flip side, when I asked Priority about the differences at higher speeds, they said "In our experience it's easier to get to 28mph on the Shimano equipped bike than the enviolo"

Thank you for the complete write-up. How does it compare to other ebikes (if you've tried others before) on hills? I'm thinking of the Priority Current over cheaper hub bikes (Juiced Crosscurrent X, Ride1UP LMT'D) due to the increased hill climbing ability of the mid drive and the impressive...

Hi folks, Holiday season is upon us, which also means decision season. I have been admiring e-bikes for years and feel it is finally the time for me to get one of my own. However, the amount of different companies, models, feature sets and price-points has been honestly overwhelming. My goal...

Hi folks, I'm very tempted to buy a CCX this week, but there are still a couple of aspects that give me pause. I'm trying to hear more about your experiences with the bike, CCX and CCS2 alike, to make a more informed decision. First issue is that there are stairs to get to my apartment door...
