I wanted to comment on the posts that mention the Carbon 1 Pro would be even better if it had a throttle. Well, it kinda does. If you are in turbo mode, all you need to do is keep the crank turning (at any speed) and you will be propelled.
Absolutely no effort.
That is my 2cents.
🙂. Have a great day everyone.....
This past weekend, I completed the STP 2024, a 206-mile ride from Seattle to Portland, riding my Urtopia Carbon 1 Pro. As a loyal customer of Urtopia (I also own a Carbon 1s), I wanted to share with this group the highs and lows of this adventure:
Pros:
- Battery Life: With an extra battery, I got 108 miles on the first day and nearly 99 miles on the second. The maximum range per battery was 77 miles, riding mostly with support levels 1 or 2.
- Configurable Assistance: The ability to fine-tune the assistance level was crucial. Increasing the assistance slightly to 55% on level 2 helped tackle the steepest climbs.
- My Accessories: I fitted my bike with my Brooks saddle, Shimano pedals, Ergonomic handlebar grips and a new suspension seat post. It made a significant positive impact. Lots of comfort and no pain.
Cons:
- Stock Accessories: The kickstand fell off within the first 20 miles. I have no idea how it happened.
- Pedals: The original pedals were of poor quality and broke a few days before the ride, necessitating replacement.
- Fenders: The pre-installed rear fenders scratched the tire and eventually broke.
Overall, I'm still a fan of Urtopia. However, to become the perfect bike, Urtopia really needs to improve the quality of its stock accessories or let us select better ones during the checkout process.
April 16 was the anniversary of my birth. On that morning my wife sent me to the garage to get her things in the car and what to my surprise was sitting in the garage covered in wrapping paper? Best Birthday gift ever. I've already put like 360 miles on it and I am loving it.
I received the bike on June 12 and I have not ridden it far enough to really say. But it is very nice to go for a short ride and the pedal assist is fantastic.
I'm pleased with the luggage rack. My panniers hang on it perfectly and the beefy construction makes it look great on the bike.
Great riding weather this morning. It was a great ride.

I have the Urtopia 2 and im liking it X 2 rides a 20 mile and a 13 mile it felt good and I was pleased with the battery power consumption. I was on 0-1 mainly and multiple turbos to get across crossings and checking out the feel for the assist.
Need to check out the hills soon in Mammoth Lakes here i come.
The Carbon 1 Pro arrived yesterday and I'm super happy so far. Definitely need a longer seatpost.
I received my most awaited carbon 1 PRO as a birthday gift for myself and it was all that I hoped for.
The size is perfect and the pedal assistance and gears help to climb hills.
Did I mention that I smile when I ride my bike? it would be more perfect if it has a throttle.
So far we love this bike, definitely gets a 5 star though I have not rode it far enough to really say but it is very nice to go for a short ride and the peddle assist is fantastic.
Can't believe they have used a Toray Carbon fiber on this bike, this is worth the price.
I love how their torque sensor delivers power smoothly, and blends perfectly while pedaling, unlike other bikes pushing you so strong at the beginning (gives me a heart attack at first).
My last few rides, I’ve seen a lot of wildlife. I’m loving this bike.
Built-in navigation saved my phone battery
Their smartbar with built in navigation and handlebar feedback is what really got me here. I hated Apple's awful battery that kept me charging it twice everyday.
The navigation function allows me to keep my phone in the bag without worrying to have it dropped or what not. Absolutely loved their design.
Weight is not bad, it is also lightweight compared to the other ebikes I have they are too heavy. I got the Chord. It actually exceeds my expectations.
Monday is the anniversary of my first Carbon 1S ride. I am due to ride 28 miles tomorrow, so I know already what my distance will have been for the year: 2380 miles.
For much of that time we were only in the office one day a week. That's increased to up to three days a week, whenever my 1S Pro arrives I'm expecting the yearly rate to be higher.
The 2380 may be wrong by over 200 miles, that I have done in May, but that don't show in the app. It's possible I was at around 2600 for the year.
I love the bike, it is absolutely lightweight.
Heavy? no, It feels exactly like a regular bike, can't believe it still has motors and batteries and everything.
I'm so happy with this bike! I did a ton of research and considered buying a more expensive bike and it's perfect for me! I'm 5'7 and 206 lbs. I already put 200 miles on it. Love using it!
Got the bike for almost 2 months. My Urtopia e-bike Carbon 1 PRO is a dream! It's easy to ride, comfortable, and looks great. Though I've waited because I pre-ordered it in January but it is worth the wait. – highly recommended!
Never heard of this brand before getting my first Urtopia ebike, took a month for me to finally decide to take this risk. My family likes to take a daily ride after dinner especially during summer, so weight and range are my top concerns when it comes to decisions. It is a bit pricey and there's no test ride centers close to where I live, but the 2 year warranty and the 1 year connect service made a promise so I went for it. Definitely worth it! Might get a second urtopia ebike for my wife but she is still deciding whether to get a new chordx or refurbished carbon 1s.
I'm in my 60s and this is definitley a life saver. The adjustable handlebar really helped my shoulder, not to mention weight-light as feather. I love the quick charge, don't have to worry about forgetting to charge my bike the night before. Might get another pro for my wife as well, she got an chord x but kept complaining the reason she can't beat me in our contest is because of she doesn't have a carbon frame.
