How to Fix a Flat on a Priority Bike With an Enviolo Hub
Whether you choose the enviolo or Shimano rear hub, you maximize the benefits of a mid-drive motor with a rear hub that is specifically designed for longer, powered rides. Both hubs are sealed from the elements to deliver a low maintenance experience wherever you ride. Choose the enviolo for the lowest maintenance experience, and the Shimano for a responsive, nimble feel.

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.

"After enjoying high-speed joyrides and extra-long journeys with this model, it’s obvious that the designers at Priority put all of their effort into making the Current e-bike an extremely reliable and especially comfortable workhorse for long daily commutes and leisurely cruises alike."

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!
What is the warranty?
Priority Bicycles provides its bicycle frames and forks with a five (5) year warranty against material and workmanship defects. All components on the Current are backed by a two (2) year warranty against manufacturing defects. The battery is guaranteed for two years or 700 cycles, whichever comes first, to 70% charge. This warranty does not cover paint or decals and can be void if the bicycle was not professionally assembled, has been modified or has been subject to beyond normal wear and tear. This warranty does not cover return shipping to Priority, nor does it cover any labor involved in frame, fork or other component replacement. Product defects must be confirmed by either photograph or a professional bicycle mechanic. This warranty is valid only for original owners in the continental United States.
What is the difference between the Shimano and enviolo hubs?
Great question! For an overview on the differences between the Shimano and Enviolo hub options, please watch this video.
What range should I expect with the battery?
Typically, in a class 1 (20mph max) setting, riders will get between 20 and 50 miles per charge. However, this can vary based on assistance level, weight of rider and gear, speed, elevation, temperature, tire pressure, head wind and terrain. For additional range please see our second battery range extender.
