My partner loves to cycle and I started enjoying commute-cycling while I was studying in England last year. I’ve been itching for a bicycle all summer and hummed and hawed over which bicycle to choose, the cost, etc. Finally decided and took advantage of Priority’s Labor Day sale—the E Classic Plus is a new release so it was definitely a leap of faith with no reviews. I’m happy to say that I’m really enjoying the ride! The pedal assist is substantial without being overwhelming, the frame feels sturdy though some components feel a bit cheap, like the break handles. The breaks aren’t as sharp as I’d hoped, but I suspect that has more to do with the uninformed expectations of a novice. I had a non-electric* Dutch-style Gazelle in the UK that weighed less than the Priority, but the Priority rides much lighter even without the pedal assist. Overall I’m incredibly pleased, as is my SO since we can now ride together and I can keep up without descending into an asthmatic panic!
