Two-minute review

The Priority Current is a special set of wheels that rubs elbows with the best electric bikes around. Although it doesn’t come cheap, starting at over $3000 in the US (it’s not yet available in the UK and Australia, but we hope it arrives soon), it still manages to undercut many of its direct competitors to make for a strong value offering—a value that gets even stronger with an absurd discount available to Costco members.

You’ll find some serious hardware under the ‘hood’ of the Priority Current. It runs on a 500W mid-drive motor with a peak torque of 140Nm for some considerable get-up-and-go. It puts transfers that power over a silent and dependable Gates carbon belt drive and runs it through an internally geared hub, either a Shimano Inter-5 or an Enviolo Sportive CVT for $200 more.
