Vanpowers urbanglide has proprietary charging connector. Questionable review / feedback practices. Poor customer service. Urbanglide is limited to 260 pounds. Some felt the standard edition mechanical disk brakes were not effective.

They lost me with the proprietary connector. Not in this lack of right to repair dimension

Putting a proprietary connector in a failing EV or e-bike market is a strange flex. It's like marketing suicide or incompetence.

There's no way you're getting 62 miles on that battery unless you turn it off

the Urbancross has some good components, including GRX shifter & RD. A nice chinese carbon uni-bar. good look to it. the motor & battery are underpowered, but it's really for helping speed up hills and boring parts of the ride so you can enjoy the fun parts. For $1100 it's way better than the Walmart-level bike a bike shop would sell you.

Like the step through frame and 48v architecture, but as already stated, 14.4ah and total wh's below 1,000 don't bode well for this one. Adult riders around 200lbs will not be able to climb hills of any grade and the battery will net you maybe 20 miles unless you are willing to pedal……a lot.

Distance sounded suspect when I read the 20mph max. 20mph will be slow after learning electronic vehicles. A big thing even if you only want to go 25 is acceleration will take a hit.

Observed Real-World Range Breakdown
  • High Assist / Heavy Throttle / Hilly Terrain: 25 – 35 miles
    Riding primarily on throttle or maximum pedal assist (PAS 4–5) on steep inclines or headwinds drains the 692Wh battery fastest (RV Magazine Review).
  • Mixed Riding / Average Commute (PAS 2–3): 40 – 55 miles
    This is the most common range reported by reviewers during typical city/suburban commuting using moderate pedal assist (Mountain Weekly News Review, The Gadgeteer Review).
  • Eco Mode / Low Assist (PAS 1): 60 – 65 miles
    Riders providing consistent pedaling effort on flat terrain in low assist mode approach near-factory range figures (AppleInsider Review).



    The proprietary charging port doesn't bother me. I'm coming from a five year-old Hyper 36V bike that has a standard barrel connector. For me there's no practical difference.

    More concerning is I received a Pro unit that has scratches on the display and light. And it has deep scratch on battery casing. Apparently, I got a demo or display unit. I don't even understand the wear on the display and light. It's not a touch display.

    I will edit this comment, if I get a response from Vanpowers.

    Update: July 31, I got an email response saying that they have received a lot of emails because of the current promotion and their technicians just returned from a business trip. They expect a technician to respond within 3 working days.

    Update 2: They replied on August 4:
    - suggested it is a protective film on the display (it isn't... a double-checked... there are scratches that can be felt in the plastic)
    - said the scratches on the headlight won't impede functionality
    - suggested I get touch up paint for the deep scratch on the battery casing (what??)
    - no apology or offer for the inconvenience caused

    Update 3: I replied on August 4 suggesting a solution. Two days later, on August 6, I received their standard "we'll get back to you soon" email.

    Update 4: I received a reply from the tech staff on August 7. They made what I think is a reasonable solution to compensate me for the issues I experienced. I will update this thread when that is completed.

    Update 5: I received a reply from Vanpowers confirming their commitment to customer satisfaction on August 11. I'm happy to report that, though it took longer than anticipated, they stand behind their products. I'm enjoying my new ebike and anticipate many years of ownership.
