Priority Current
Shop the Priority Current belt-drive electric commuter bike with internal gear hub at The Cycle Zone.
True to the Priority name, the Current swaps a greasy chain for a Gates carbon belt drive and pairs it with an internal gear hub, so there is nothing to derail, rust or need lubricating. Combined with hydraulic disc brakes and a torque-sensing mid-drive motor, it is built for riders who want an electric commuter that stays clean in a work bag or on a balcony.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How far can I ride on the Priority Current before recharging?
- Real-world range on the Priority Current depends on assist level, terrain and rider weight, but most riders can expect somewhere between 30 and 70 miles per charge on a mixed setting. Riding in the highest assist mode or tackling steep climbs will bring that down, while eco mode on flat ground stretches it further. Our team can talk through realistic range for your usual routes before you buy.
- Do I need a licence or insurance to ride the Priority Current?
- No — the Priority Current is a pedal-assist electric bike, which under UK and NI rules means no licence, registration or insurance is required as standard, provided the motor cuts out at 15.5mph and is rated at 250W or below. We'd still recommend insurance for theft and damage cover given the value of an e-bike, and our team can point you to suitable providers.
- How long does the battery on the Priority Current take to charge, and what warranty does it carry?
- A full charge on the Priority Current typically takes 3 to 6 hours from empty using the supplied charger, and most riders top up overnight rather than waiting for a full cycle. The battery is covered by Priority Bicycles's standard e-bike warranty, usually two years against manufacturing defects, and The Cycle Zone can handle any warranty claims on your behalf.
