And that\u2019s because it weighs less than half of that e-bike.<\/p>\n<p>Assembling the Urtopia was also considerably easier, although there are some fiddly bits. Namely, as most of the wiring is contain inside the frame, squeezing it into the gap behind the bike seat was a bit of a faff \u2013 but nothing major. The video below (which I didn\u2019t discover until after I built the bike), shows the assembly steps.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assemble the Urtopia Carbon E-Bike\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7q-5PuNG3KM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Once the brief assembly was complete, it was just a matter of connecting my bike to my smartphone. Indeed, if you want to use the electrical assistance of the Urtopia, it is required to download the app on a smartphone. This is because the bike is turned on by pressing the fingerprint reader on the bike, something you need to set up on your phone. Thankfully, Urtopia know a thing or two about design, and the app is just as easy on the eye as the bike itself.<\/p>\n<p>The Urtopia automatically tracks your ride stats, showing duration, average speed, calories burned and CO2 saved, as well as a map of your route.<\/p>\n<p>But the functionality of the app is really taken to another level when you use to maps feature. Input your location in the app on your phone and it will automatically sync with your handlebar dashboard to give you real-time navigational instructions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" alt=\"Urtopia app screenshots\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-870x580.jpg 870w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app.jpg 1200w\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-apeka.nitrocdn.com\/xKltwSUnXEmUnpFfLKhCPoBNktqaOXPr\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-7f1cd4d\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/urtopia-app-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-29462 nitro-lazy\" decoding=\"async\" nitro-lazy-empty=\"\" id=\"MTE0MzoxMTU5-1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The other key feature of the app is the ability to track its location even when you\u2019re not riding \u2013 i.e. making sure pesky thieves don\u2019t try to steal it.<\/p>\n<p>This feature works well and even quickly notified me when my partner moved by bike on the terrace. The fingerprint scanner is also great for theft prevention as even if a scumbag manages to make off with your bike, they won\u2019t be able to enjoy any of the electrical assistance it provides. So, if nothing else, at least the thief will be sweating.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Urtopia Carbon E-Bike Tutorial | About the app\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ETGmFtHNAvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Urtopia_One_Range\">Urtopia One Range<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>But among this extensive feature list, there was one thing that stuck out to me above all others: a claimed range of 100km \u2013 which would make it one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/discerningcyclist.com\/which-electric-bike-has-longest-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">longest-range e-bikes<\/a> around.<\/p>\n<p>So after assembling the bike and charging it up, I use it for my standard 3.5km to my coworking space and back. Then I didn\u2019t ride for a few days, before doing the same mini commute. However, on the way back from that second ride, I was dismayed to see that the battery was nearly empty.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I charged up the bike again and repeated my commute. After coming home, I check the battery level \u2013 which was still showing as essentially full. Again, I didn\u2019t ride for a few days and then started my bike up again. The battery was half empty. What was going on?<\/p>\n<p>I decided to get in touch with Urtopia about this and they informed me that the anti-theft function GPS function uses about 7% of its battery per day, even if you don\u2019t use the bike. The workaround they recommended was to remove the battery between rides \u2013 provided my is in a secure place.<\/p>\n<p>I tested out this theory and it was right. I didn\u2019t get the claimed 100km, but I did manage to do 60km (with full assistance power), so long as I removed the battery between rides.<\/p>\n<p>Removing the battery is easy (simply turn the key in the built-in lock and it pops out), but it\u2019s undoubtedly annoying to have to do this (and remember to do this).<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Urtopia are soon to release a setting in the app that allows you to turn-off the GPS tracker when you want \u2013 so it doesn\u2019t drain the battery. That means you could have the GPS protection enabled if you leave your bike out on the street, but turn it off overnight if you bring it inside your home, for example.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"My_Urtopia_Experience\">My Urtopia Experience<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While my battery experiencing was a little underwhelming, my ride experience on the Urtopia wasn\u2019t. This is a fun bike to ride.<\/p>\n<p>This e-bike is extremely responsive and nippy.

You don\u2019t need to faff about with oils, lubes or even candles to set the mood.

The only challenge can arrive when you to go up a steep hill from a standing start, if you don\u2019t have a throttle, which this bike doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>On the Urtopia One, I love the belt-drive. The ride feels very responsive, and I don\u2019t need do any maintenance. There are no gears, but it\u2019s exceedingly rare that I ever miss them on this bike as it\u2019s so nippy and light.
