The signature feature of all Priority Bicycles - the rust and grease free Carbon Drive belt. Originally designed for use in automotive applications, the Carbon Drive belt manages torque much better than a chain and won’t break like a chain leaving you stranded. Plus, it won’t stain your hands or clothing!
Unmatched, 500w tunable power in an efficient mid-drive package. The mid drive motor maximizes power output and efficiency with intuitive responsiveness that boosts your natural pedaling power. With up to 140nm of torque you can ride to keep up with the flow of traffic, or enable long, smooth, all-day rides. The Current ships in a Class 1, 20 mph setting, but can increase to a Class 3, 28 mph setting (please note local laws). Five different pedal assist modes are available. eBike system UL 2849 certified by Underwriters Laboratories.
The Priority 500W motor is powered by a 500Wh battery that's seamlessly integrated into the downtube for a clean look. The battery is removable with a key-operated lock/release, and can be charged on or off the bicycle. eBike battery UL 2271 certified by SGS. Please review NYC Lithium-Ion Battery Safety information.
Newer hybrid and electric cars use a Continuously Variable Transmission, or CVT, over traditional transmissions. On the Current, you increase and decrease resistance with a simple twist of the grip. No clanking and no confusion. The enviolo trekking hub is designed to be used year-round and go thousands of miles without requiring service.
The smoothest mid drive motor balanced by the strong stopping power of front and rear Hydraulic Disc Brakes. Confidence to start and stop in all-weather conditions. Hydraulic disc brakes provide a cushioned stop, so that you aren't subjected to a jerky start and stop motion.
The mid step frame makes the Current reviewed as one of the most comfortable e-bikes on the market. With a mid step frame, it is easy to pop on and off whether in an urban setting, during longer rides, or when using your bicycle as a car replacement. It is also comfortable for all-day riding as well as upright for better visibility in traffic conditions.
Never be stranded with un-charged lights! Our front light extends a bright pool for dark conditions. The rear blinker is prioritized to maintain power, even when the bicycle is at a stop or powered down so that you can be seen from behind.
Front and rear fenders keep your clothes clean in all conditions. The construction bends to keep in place without rubbing in case someone leans their bike next to yours in a rack.
Throughout the bike, braze ons support all your accessories from racks to cages to our battery extender- which doubles your range!
The 650b x 47mm tires allow you to ride on a lower pressure, providing a plush ride on pitted streets or bike paths with rocks or uneven surfaces. The puncture-resistant membrane provides a layer of protection from debris and thorns.
Featuring 140Nm max torque, a 500-watt motor, an integrated battery, and an ultra-responsive e-bike specific Enviolo hub, daily commuters will surge down city streets and adventurers will power through weekend rides.

You have questions. We have answers.
I see that the power is unmatched, but is the ride jerky?
No. It is important that the power in your e-bike gives you a feeling of greater confidence on the roads and control on your rides. One of the main benefits of the mid-drive motor is that the Current’s power aligns with your own natural pedaling motion- the tunable assist is applied in line with your effort. So whether you are set to a level 1 or 5 pedal assist, the Current is in tune with your movements. You pedal and the Current provides the power!
