Urtopia Carbon 1 Step-Thru Review | A Tech-Savvy, Lightweight Ride
Briefly

The Urtopia Carbon 1 Step-Thru weighs 41 lbs and uses Toray carbon construction to deliver a lightweight, maneuverable cruiser. The bike is a Class 3 e-bike with pedal assist up to 25 mph and a step-thru frame with generous handlebar sweep for approachable fit. Integrated 4G connectivity enables GPS tracking, geo-fencing, movement alarms, and AI route planning, while an LED dot-matrix display, built-in speakers, and voice control provide smart-device-like interaction. Security features include a fingerprint scanner and audible alarms. The non-suspension frame rides quietly and smoothly, and the motor supplies adequate power for small to medium hills.
Who says e-bikes have to be heavy? At just 41 lbs, the Urtopia Carbon 1 Step-Thru is refreshingly easy to lift, carry, and ride. Urtopia has been carving out a niche as the go-to brand for carbon fiber frames without sky-high prices. Now they're bringing the material's lightweight, performance-oriented benefits into the city cruiser category. This isn't your grandparents' cruiser (though they might still love it).
The Carbon 1 ST is loaded with forward-thinking features like 4G connectivity for security (movement alarms, geo-fencing, GPS tracking) and ride enhancements (AI route planning). With an LED dot-matrix display, built-in speakers, and even voice control, it feels more like a connected smart device than a traditional bike. But those headliners shouldn't detract from the real standout: the ride itself is light, quiet, and surprisingly smooth for a non-suspension frame. It's a pleasant e-bike experience that just happens to be loaded with tech.
The step-thru design and generous handlebar sweep make it approachable, while its motor offers enough power for lively city cruising and an easy time on small to medium-sized hills (and even some steeper ones, too). Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a smaller rider hunting for a great fit, or simply someone who doesn't want an e-bike that feels like a burden to lift, the Carbon 1 ST has a lot to offer.
