WARNINGS 1. Be aware that, without a proper motor cut-off switch in the braking system, the Current can (and will, under certain predictable circumstances) lurch forward. This will typically happen while stopped, if you have dismounted without turning off the display or setting it back to Level...

Update: After a series of medium-duty rides with a speed averaging 10-15 MPH on mostly level ground, with outside temperature around 85F, I've concluded that my maximum expected range on a single battery charge tracks according to this chart: Assist Level 1 = Untested Assist Level 2 = 40 miles...

Good points, all! After my first few rides on the stock seat induced a rather unexpected and near-debilitating case of sciatica in my lower back/buttocks/upper thighs, I also decided to swap seats: Upgraded to substantially larger Selle Royal Gel seat with thicker rails and non-metallic shock...

Way ahead of you, bro... check out my post from earlier in the week, when I did exactly that. I'm eager to hear your results as well!

I think you're onto something... Today, I rode over 7 miles on Assist Level 2 and finished the ride with 9 bars intact. I'm going to continue testing in that range to see how far I can stretch a single charge with light effort.

NOTES FROM MY FIRST HIGH-ASSIST RIDE ABOARD THE CURRENT Left home at 11:45am for this 16-mile round trip ride, with 60 PSI in the tires and 100% on the battery. My objectives were to (a) ride as far in one direction as I could on Assist Level 4, (b) return via the same route on Level 5, and (c)...

Not sure if this will be particularly helpful to anyone else, but I'm eager to share my first impressions after receiving delivery of my new Current bike this afternoon. DELIVERY ► A- Arrived via FedEx, who set the moderately heavy box on my porch (upside down) and drove off without ringing the...

Thanks for a most excellent first experience story! Do you plan to charge the bike by removing the battery or leaving it in place?

Thanks! One question I have, which may be better asked here(?) is whether our gracious Forum host, @Court , will ever undertake reviews of bikes from Priority?! His friendship with the owner of competing NYC bike shop Propel might – at least in theory – hinder his ability or willingness to...

Are you talking about this group, the Priority Bicycles Riders and Friends? https://www.facebook.com/groups/230969657400090

Odd question: Does the Current's Owner's Manual state the maximum combined rider + cargo weight limit? For other e-bikes, this stat tends to be in the 274 to 300 range, so I'll be surprised if it's substantially different from that.

I thought it might be instructive to begin listing some of the "just plain wrong" statements made in some of the online reviews I've read, which otherwise paint the Priority Current in glowing terms as it well deserves. Among the misstatements... WHAT THEY GOT WRONG ► CORRECTED INFO "Stainless...

Is the battery even externally visible once installed? I imagined it gets "inserted" into the drop tube and thereby remains unseen. But then again, if that were the case, why would they offer different colors? LOL

Not mentioned on the Forum, but available for order from Priority, is this "Spare Battery" which lets you swap out for the Current's primary. Could be a decent (if slightly more cumbersome to install) and $200 cheaper alternative to a full second battery + rack option. See...

Here's the "official" link to Priority's lineup of Current-specific accessories: https://www.prioritybicycles.com/collections/accessories-1/Current

One thing to be mindful of, especially if you intend to change out the front chainring, is that the Shimano version of the Current uses a 118T Gates CDN CDX** belt, while the Enviolo CVP model comes equipped with a 125T belt. I haven't counted cog or chainring teeth on either, nor measured the...

Former lurker, first-time poster. Hey guys, at long last I've narrowed down my ebike choices to the Priority Current vs. Gazelle Ultimate C380+ (which costs $1600 more!). I'm one of the heavier Clydesdale riders in here (6'2" 340 lbs) who's never before owned or ridden an e-bike. My criteria...
