Argon vs. Urtopia Carbon 1 Pro

Jan 1, 1970

The Optibike Argon continues to be a top competitor in the field of lightweight e-bikes. Ideal for commutes, the Argon is powered by a 500W rear hub motor that activates with a dual sided torque sensor or throttle. This makes it an easy start bike, great for traffic lights or getting started up hills. The Argon uses a 14Ah Li-ion battery, which is double the capacity of similar e-bikes. This gives you double the range, better hill climbing and longer life for the battery. Wider 38mm (1.5inch tires) give a softer ride and better traction. And the full carbon fiber fork absorbs bumps better and keeps the weight lower. With Shimano hydraulic disk brakes in the front and rear, the Argon stops quickly and is safer to ride.

All this compared to the Tenways CGO600 Pro puts the Argon ahead in most categories. Below is a breakdown for each bike:
