    Sub $3000 Leisure/Commuter Bike For Hilly Area [Final Choice: Priority Current]

    I unfortunately have exclusively ridden in cities, so I can't help. Also, the most recent Current is shipping with slightly different tires. I'd ask Priority to confirm what those are (or just wait and see!). Regarding Shimano vs Enviolo - I'd say the Enviolo is overall regarded as a more...

    Glad you liked it! FYI, there's a Facebook (yuck!) group for Priority bike owners, which could be helpful in the future if you want to find fellow Current owners.

    Priority Bikes at Costco

    Do they have the Enviolo too?

    Sub $3000 Leisure/Commuter Bike For Hilly Area [Final Choice: Priority Current]

    I unfortunately don't know the answer to that. I rarely use the light because I rarely ride at night. I find it adequate, but nothing impressive. Definitely not bright enough to make a difference during the day. If you were you, I'd ask Priority. They will definitely answer to the best of their...

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

    Looks like they're back to offering both models. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ylfba9n0761avjw/CURRENT_MODEL_EXPLAINER.mp4?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR1_qCFOjFcFVfjyWl1pBwm1OrwKH2kfOFaFYmRO4Hsg1odWv5iFXGMhTX4

    One last update is that they're now also offering both models again: the Shimano and the Enviolo (+$200). https://www.dropbox.com/s/ylfba9n0761avjw/CURRENT_MODEL_EXPLAINER.mp4?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR1_qCFOjFcFVfjyWl1pBwm1OrwKH2kfOFaFYmRO4Hsg1odWv5iFXGMhTX4

    Sub $3000 Leisure/Commuter Bike For Hilly Area [Final Choice: Priority Current]

    A lot of us also bought the bike when it was on sale for $2600, which made it easier to accept the risks. I know of one person who had a motor failure and got a replacement from Priority. It was a relatively quick and smooth process.

    This is unfortunately a risk that all of us who buy this bike took. It is also the biggest risk with this bike. For more context, it is a weird obscure motor, more specifically this one. You *can* buy one on Alibaba for about $300 but it's certainly not ideal. That is just the reality. Not...

    Sub $3000 Leisure/Commuter Bike For Hilly Area [Final Choice: Priority Current]

    I haven't because I'm not looking forward to the hassle of getting that cable shipped and back. I haven't felt the need for it yet. Usually when I need to go up a hill I just hop on the bike instead.

    Looks like Priority added a walk mode to this batch of the Current.

    What pedal assist Ebike should I get?

    Just to clarify - although they are an American company, the Current is not American made. It is also not Pinon geared.

    Truckrun 500 Watt Mid drive

    Visually, the motor is different, so I'm assuming it's a different model. The Current uses 500w/48v variation of this motor. From the pictures you sent, it looks different. I like the motor ok. As I mentioned above, the biggest reason companies choose to go with truckrun is price. They're a...

    Truckrun 500 Watt Mid drive

    The motor does seem different than most of their existing models. Truckrun often offers customization (i.e. the motor on the Priority Current, which I have, or the motors on the Rambo bikes, are just customized versions of their more common motor), but this seems like a different design.

    Zen Samurai Diamond

    One of these days I'll cross the bridge and ride to Sausalito (with a full battery of course!) to see how the Current handles it.

    Zen Samurai Diamond

    The number of people who throw themselves in the middle of the bike line on Market drives me crazy. Quick reaction is essential. I have an IGH + Gates belt and still haven't gotten fully accustomed to doing the most optimal shifting. Because my IGH is limited (Shimano 5 speed), any loss of...

    Glad it was helpful. I tried to report equally on what was positive and what was negative. Even better that, the way their pre-orders work, if you find a better bike or a better deal in these 2 months, you can just cancel the pre-order :)

    That's the Costco price ($2600). There's no guarantee you'll get it, but often if you just ask they give it to you.
