The Priority Bicycles e-Classic is a high-end e-bike with high-end components that should last a long time, making it well suited for use as a daily commuter, in fleets for hotels or resorts, or as a reliable weekend warrior if that's what your heart desires.
Priority Bicycles has built its brand around delivering low maintenance, high quality belt drive bicycles. One by one, it seems to be electrifying each of its manually operated models, and we were excited when they reached out about the e-Classic.
The motor itself has more of an audible wine than we would prefer for such a sleek bike, though the noise quickly faded from conscious thought as we started moving. It is more pronounced given the silent Gates belt drive on the bike.Priority Bicycles did a nice job of balancing the weight allocation so the front doesn’t feel excessively heavy with the hub motor up front, as opposed to the more traditional rear hub or mid-drive locations.
The Gates belt drive is all but silent, requires essentially no maintenance, and eliminates the clunky derailleur. Switching to a belt drive for a bicycle is like upgrading from a quiet gasoline car to an electric vehicle. There are almost no vibrations, pedaling is silky smooth, and all of that translates to a greater sense of peace and connection with the world around you.
