Would love to hear experiences with URTOPIA JOY.

Carbon frame, 350w motor (yikes, tho). Anyone have one or thinking about getting one?

Bought one today, but haven't had a chance to really try it out yet, other than a few spins through the neighborhood. I am petite - 5'1" - and wanted an e-bike that I felt was scaled right for me, and this one feels great! There is a sale going on right now, so it was 1799.99.

They are so lightweight (for an ebike). What color did you get? The glacier blue is nice. I've also seen the creme in person.

I got the red rose. I thought it might keep my husband from using it! LOL But he loves it and doesn't care if it looks kind of pink. ;) Seriously, though, he's getting my Specialized that he had modified with an electric Hill Topper kit and he's fine with that. The Carbon Joy is soo much better in the way it works and the way it fits. I also looked at a couple of size regular Aventon bikes that should have been OK for my height, but without changing out the seat, they were still too high for me, and also felt too big, in general. This just feels so much more nimble.

Yes! The Aventon and Velotric are so big & boxy. The only thing I am on the fence about with Urtopia is the smaller battery size.

I'll have to find the polish shade to match! Are you concerned about range? The specs say 70 miles - flat roads, Eco mode, with a 180lb rider. That seemed pretty good, although range was not my top priority, but I'm sure it is more important for many.

I have a 52v 20ah battery that gets 75 TOPS, and I'm 140. There isn't a chance that battery gets 50, even with a 100 pound person.

I didn't get to see the glacier blue in person. That may have been my next choice, though. Funny that when my adult son was taking it for a spin today, he said he loved the color and asked if I chose it to "keep dad from taking it"! He knows us well!

That's funny! Some guys are dead opposed to a "girlie" color! Smart thinking.
