You had me at "built-in bottle opener"
This isn't nearly enough to replace a bicycle. How is that supposed to run on bumpy roads, or roads with steep gradient?
Md. Abdul Ahad Chowdhury Bhai wo India may nahi rahate
Md. Abdul Ahad Chowdhury lol they arent meant to be for travelling long kms. just nearby your home for daily stuffs etc
Md. Abdul Ahad Chowdhury well it's was fast ( real comments I mean ) ya u could buy a much simpler milage optimised bike
that's why it called urbaey
I wouldn't recommend for very steep grades, but the average 13-15% works fine. In addition to the sport, they have a Pro now that has 10" pneumatic tires and is designed for the rough stuff.
I ride mine daily and don't suffer too much from these issues, but I guess it depends on your lifestyle. No 1 product fits everyone, every time.
So this is a perfect solution for me. I take the train into the city (I need portability -- folding bikes still take up more space than i'd like), then have a 30 min walk to work (URB-E!!). I work in Chicago, no need to worry about steep hills.
More videos!
Really glad to see a device like this comes with USB-C btw.
Still waiting for and e bike that's actually cheap
you can make your own for now, for about 150 dollars. 500 if you go with a nicer power source
how??? If you are serious, some links would be nice. I haven't managed to get much below a thousand total.
they are already. e bikes are the chepest transport now. no gasoline no parking no traffic no taxes
I already have an E-Bike, a foldable one, but I placed an order for the Sports GT model too for a few reasons. I upgraded my E-bike a lil too much, it went from 30lbs to 50lbs now.
The main reason I pre-ordered the Urb-E was the size. My E-bike, even when folded, it's a bit chunky, and I wanted it only to get home from work, but I can't exactly bring it inside our store and park it in our rear break room, everyday. My manager will scold me for that, and even with my $100+ Kryptonite locks, I still feel uneasy locking it in front of my store, 'cuz it's high traffic and can be vandalized if not stolen. The tiny size of the Urb-E takes up very little space when folded, it's a little bigger than a piece of printing paper in diameter. It's small enough that I can carry it like a briefcase to the backroom and place it where no one would even notice it.
The little beast is actually pretty strong, I saw videos of it carrying a full grown man up those "ramp stairs that goes over express ways", with no problem or slowing down. As for distance, my job takes about 14 mins to get to by car, 28 mins by public transportation that costs S2.75 for now, and this vehicle claims I could get home in around 25-33 mins if I take the local routes (so I don't have to rush for the bus, and save myself the fair, every time!).
PS, they kept the speed just under the speed limit for requiring a drivers license to ride it, and it's classified as a Bike, so you can take the bike lanes.
Never miss leg day
made in the USA changed my mind about products. I had to take the urb-e 3 times to their shop.
That ending tho. *O H S H H H H H H I-*
where can you get the URB-E in Miami
But it looks ugly af. So that's a downside.
it does have a lot of holes though.
do you know some one in miami where i can get an urb-e sport
I kinda love this thing? It looks silly, but it also looks like they've really thought it out as a product
Is it legal to ride the URB-E on the sidewalks of NYC?
Cool video!😎
So, are you saying the cheaper urb-e is better than their other, more expensive models? And, how much is an additional battery?
But light lids are screwed
The ending though
I'm surprised he's wearing pants this time
I like the idea of removing the battery. That would make it the only e-alternative that could get past security at my job. Thanks for sharing that.
That video stabilization tho
Every time I look at this guy I picture him in those blue undies. ☹️☹️
👖 🍆 💦
nice video
someone needs to tell that dude that the sweater isn't making him less of a nerd.
Wow, interesting 🤔
You can get sick ass bicycle for 900$ and it will be healthier, faster and comfyer for you. Can get a good one even cheaper.
Bikes are a different segment.
Maybe the tiny folding kind could be compared to the URB-E since they can be taken on a bus or train.
The idea behind the URB-E is to easily fill that last mile gap.
Sure, you could just walk too, but doing that in a suite many times a day may require many showers per day.
I love my URB-E bike 🚲
Just one thought, is it waterproof?
I'm actually working on a rain solution now on the URB-E forum and have some examples on my channel.
They are fairly water resistant and I've been riding in the rain recently.
But I wouldn't say they are waterPROOF.
Nice Bike
Why didnt you do this video in your new Smart Underwear?
899$, i would buy a bike and DYI to an electric bike it will still be cheaper
they expect sales, where, how ?
Still to slow for me, I love the idea of URB-E but it has to at least be able to go up to 21mph
And 100% not stolen-proof... its so light
I read this as "uber" every time. DAMN YOU DSYLEXIA
Misspelled dyslexia .... DAMN YOU DYSLEXIA
20% lighter than what?
What is the actual weight with battery?
"As powerful as a bike and as adaptable as a scooter". Some effort, maybe?
How long does it last? On one charge, obviously.
16 miles according to their website
iDaylightx cheers! Seems to be decent, I'll be waiting for lower prices tho:)
So your feet just drag?
pegs front and rear.
The rear being the most important as standing up while going over curbs or down stairs is a must.
biggest appeal to me is that it packs up smaller than a bike
Cracks a bud lite lime LOLZ :D
cool but I would still prefer hybrid electric cycle as a mode of commute in my city.
Best power pack with wheels :p
No speed or distance specs in the review? And they are in a serious pipe dream if they think they will sell "10's of thousands of these" at 800$-900$.
it my b-day on friday and i want to get one
So ... how much does it weigh? You say that it is 20% lighter twice, but you never mention its actual weight! Must still weigh a lot.
Drinking and driving, nice responsible message to the public from the verge
My girlfriend bought an Urb-e Pro and it arrived last week, dead... Support answered one call a week ago and promised to get back to us. Never did. Over a week, and 4 calls to voice mail without response.
Now tech is replacing bike riding....what else is being "Innovative"?
Bad charging unit, battery not working, seat upgrade? model 000299 It feels like a prototype. They now want me to add clasps to the handles....right when I came back from vacations!😁😃😅😄😂😂😂😂
okay Leo, Please, what is your opinion of the urb-e now 3 years later ? because I also had bad luck buying one in 2018 Can you please give me an honest opinion, my urb-e hasn't run im months and customer service hasn't been too great ! thanks.
If this was cheaper I would definitely buy but not for no 899
As if this is progress, ever heard of pedals? Unless you are handicapped the best "motor" is your legs. Makes the bike lighter, less complicated and faster.
nothing about speed?
... range or the actual weight.
Sport will do 14mph for 16 miles.
Pro will do 18mph for 20 miles.
Varies by weight and terrain of course.
I've gotten and video documented 18 miles on mine. See channel.
Not really an alternative for bicycles because it won't help you exercise. Though it is an option for hobbyists who like this sort of thing.
Do you want to play a game?
bud light.... lol
For that price I could buy a car
I've bought cars for under $2000, driven them for 5 years and never had to repair anything
This is probably the most common comment!
It's funny, because my laptop was $1500 and so are some watches and espresso machines.
What's your point though?
Are you having to decide between buying a car or the URB-E?
If so, then many things come into play, but I wouldn't count the URB-E out!
NoS URB-E someone who is buying a $1500-$2000 car is NOT the type of person who buys a $1500 watch or espresso machine (those people are spending more like $40,000 on a car)
Uber ?
Just get a bicycle!
That bottle still had a covering even he removed the cap and he just acted like he is drinking dude keep attention to detail!
I see no advantages to this over a regular bike.
I need a scooter
Bruh. I'll just grab a. Ike
Bike
Yea....an Apple bike for the Apple sheep....and with USB-C.
And then you find out the range is 5 miles.
That's fine for NYC
20
At least it's light so you can carry it home :)
The Sport is rated 16 miles and the Pro model is rated 20.
I get about 18 from those 20 rated miles on my classic model.
But you are right, I normally only need about 5 miles per day.
it looks so dorky i doubt any one is going to buy it
They been selling these , people are buying them.
considering this is second generation they have been selling enough
randomguy5990 alright point taken.
*I would never buy one.
Alejandro Sangiovanni thanks for the response, all I was saying was that I would personally buy a better looking electric bike
It's 30 lbs, just get a full suspension bike, hella lot cheaper too so you'll be able to by 3-4 when the other ones get stolen.
Electricity is not all green energy, you're still polluting the earth by charging up the battery.
Or an ECU... This model, for example is about the same cost, has a lower weight, but will do around 15mph and 16 to 43 mile range (depending on the battery): www.euc.nyc/14-mcm4/
You're polluting the Earth even when you eat that extra burger for calories burned during the exercise, and showing up to work sweaty after a bike commute is not always an option.
Well, that all depends on the source of your charge.
And the idea behind the URB-E is that it is small and portable, so comparing to a folding bike would be more appropriate.
That's too expensive
....
Don't drink & drive
Ugh, I'd be embarrassed to ride on that thing.
cheaper! 900 dollars, ok
this looks so dorky...
as powerful as a bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol... Just looked at the price 900$.......... Shipping 1200$.. Hmm no thanks
187 er
Demblin u mein the rappers?
Its ugly, they put holes on it to make it lighter lol
I like that industrial look.
To each his own!
eeeew
ridiculous
Why not just buy a motorcycle? All this electric vehicles are just dumb. Buy a motorcycle.
it's not like getting a motorcycle license is hard or anything. this little BS is just an excuse for lazy people. Walk godamit. it ain't gonna kill you.
Escrocs? Après 2 ans 1/2 mon Urb-E n'est toujours pas livré!!!!!!
first
its not pretty
Ridiculous load of rubbish
