URTOPIA Carbon Fusion GT E-Bike

Has anyone had any experience with the Urtopia Carbon Fusion GT E-bike? Please let me know what you think are the pros and cons of it. I really like the look of it and there is a bike shop near me that sells them, so I know I can get it serviced. It seems pretty light-weight for an e-bike with dual motors and you can add a second battery as well. The price is a little steep, but not for a carbon fiber bike and there are some discounts on the pricing as well. I'm a 60 year old male, 6'5" tall and 280 pounds so the 29" wheels and front suspension seem like they would work well for me. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks!

Rode the Fusion GT for about four months now, mostly mixed terrain — some road, some gravel, occasional trail. Here's my honest take. The dual motor setup is the real deal. I've ridden a lot of hub-drive bikes and the AWD traction on loose surfaces is noticeably different, not just a spec sheet claim. That said, I run rear-drive mode probably 80% of the time — it's more efficient and still plenty of power for anything flat or moderate. AWD I save for steep climbs or sketchy surfaces. 29" wheels + front suspension is the right call for a bike at this weight class. It absorbs road chatter well enough that longer rides don't beat you up. The carbon frame keeping it at 55 lbs for a dual-motor setup is genuinely impressive — comparable bikes in aluminum are pushing 70+. On the dual battery: single gets you a real-world 60-65 miles in mixed assist, dual pushes that to 100+. Worth it if you're doing longer loops or don't want to think about charging. One thing I'd flag for you specifically — official fit range is 5'3" to 6'3". At 6'5" you're outside that. The geometry might still work with full seat post extension and stem adjustment, but I wouldn't order without sitting on one first. Urtopia has dealer shops across the US, find one and do a test ride before committing at this price point. That's just good practice on any bike over $2k anyway.
