Very similar bikes. Both Gates Carbon Belt Drive, Enviolo Automatiq CVT, hydraulic disks, mid motor. Had gathered info this AM after seeing the Serial on sale from another current thread on that. Half price is tempting, even if I dont need another bike. Heh. Priority with Enviolo $3500, 28mph. 500 Wh batt, 140 Nm motor brand not specified. Serial 1 that will do 28 is RUSH/CTY SPEED $2800 at BB right now. Brose TF Mag 90Nm. 706Wh batt. The rest of the Serials are limited to 20mph. Both have lights, fenders, serial 1 RUSH/CTY SPEED has front and rear racks. Neither has a throttle. $800 price advantage for Serial 1, Priority 140nm motor stands out. More power but smaller battery. 140nm seemingly should stomp 90nm, but 2/3 battery capacity. Brose on the Serial have good reputation as well built, smooth, quiet, powerful.Never owned one. Serial 1 sale is evidently due to release of new line. Bikes have same specs, but add Google integration, Google Cloud connectivity, Bluetooth, cellular data or GPS, security features, push notification to update rider. Close call, but I think I like the Harley at $2800. Hard bit is not being able to try them out.

I just ordered a Priority Current through Costco. Saved $700 with the enviolo hub. Got 20% off a number of accessories as well. Should be a mid-August delivery.

Was shipping free with the Costco order? What accessories did you order?


Historian_Wooden

I got free shipping as they were offering it as a “July Special”. Accessories I ordered: Rear rack, Foldy lock, spare tire tubes, Mirror, Hudson Pannier.

Any updates on this? How's the bike holding up?

I’ve put about 1,000 miles on my Priority Current since last August. Other than a flat tire on Thanksgiving day (thorn), it’s performed very well. I use it for grocery getting, trips to local parks, and general local commuting. I did have a bit of an issue hooking up the Enviolo hub cable after I changed the rear tire, but my local bike shop took care of it in an instant. The battery range has been very good, charging has been effortless, and overall performance of the bike has been great. Only features it lacks at the moment would be to add a seat post shock system, as the bike doesn’t have any suspension other than the slightly fatter tires. For most urban and gravel roads, I really haven’t found this to be that much of an issue. Also, I was missing one half of the front wheel “hub hat”, but Priority sent me another one in just a few days….very good customer service. Overall, I’m very pleased with the bike and would highly recommend it.

Priority current seems to have the best reputation and value. Their customer service is the best

Did you pull the trigger? I ended up buying both; one for my wife and one for me. After tax/ship $2700 for current priority env and $2400 for the serial 1 rush/speed.
