Urtopia Carbon Classic

What the Urtopia Carbon Classic is built for

The Urtopia Carbon Classic is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 500 W peak motor.

It carries a 353 Wh battery.

The Urtopia Carbon Classic weighs 41 lb (18.6 kg) and uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal.

In the United States the Urtopia Carbon Classic sells for $1,999, above the median of $1,700 across 311 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $6 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Urtopia Carbon Classic may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Urtopia Carbon Classic safety certification

The brand states that the Urtopia Carbon Classic is certified to UL 2849.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
