Urtopia Chord e-bike - Tesla grafted into a Rolls-Royce

Urtopia Chord e-bike - Tesla grafted into a Rolls-Royce

Today I have to present to you the Urtopia Chord, a truly special, truly premium bike.

Urtopia Chord e-bike - Tesla grafted into a Rolls-Royce

Sometime, a little more than a year ago, I was talking to an old friend of mine who transferred from a large online store to a new bike company, Urtopia. He contacted me and told me almost obsessively about their product, it was noticeable that there was a little more to it than the sales and marketing work, I could feel the enthusiasm. After that, of course, I understood, because Urtopia created something quite unique and special.

If I list only the most important keywords, you will still understand what I am talking about. These words are: Carbon frame, wifi connection, wireless firmware update, lots of sensors, anti-theft, GPS, voice control, long range and special design.

I think you can already guess that I'm really not talking about a simple bike here. Obviously, the price cannot be compared to a cheap Chinese solution, but it is not made for those who are looking for the former. It is produced for those who want to see the elegance of a Rolls-Royce and the smartness of a Tesla in one bicycle at the same time, and of course for those who can afford it.

It is apropos to this article that, on the one hand, Urtopia's new bicycle, the fantastically named Cord, a crazy good two-wheeler, was introduced, and that the European sales started right away. So this article is a kind of introduction on the part of the company, here on my pages. I see a small chance that even one of these bikes will make it to me for a test, but of course I would be happy if it were so, because it would be a guaranteed highlight of my e-bike career. Until that happens, read my short summary of Cord below.


Chord's shape was designed by an artist and inspired by the elegance, sophistication and musical harmony of a piano keyboard. Seeing this shape, we can guess that he managed to create it in a rather inspired moment. The elegance of the form is further enhanced by the simple black and white painting. The Cord is also interesting in terms of its finish, but the manufacturer adds an additional element of interest by allowing customers to customize the appearance with the available stickers, which are glued to the frame and/or the battery before delivery. Cord means two models, they differ in form, these models are step-in and step-over, one for ladies, the other for men.

Chord has the most advanced smart system for e-bikes, integrating all smart functions into a display centered on the handlebars. The control can be easily detached and replaced with the next generation with more powerful hardware and extra features, so you can keep the durable mechanical parts for years while still enjoying the latest technology.

 

Chord has advanced IoT technology. They packed real high-end technology into it, something that we don't often see from other manufacturers. This includes the upgradeable smartbox system, which also supports wireless firmware updates (OTA), accelerometer and gyroscope sensors for tamper detection, anti-theft and motion detection, fingerprint sensor for easy unlocking, and GPS and eSIM from Google Maps for navigation. Of course, control and monitoring through the phone application is also available via the Urtopia APP.

Chord lists AI voice control, haptic interaction, an LED dot matrix display that offers real-time cycling metrics and the ARES safety system in addition to the special capabilities so far. ARES (Advanced Rear Early-indication System) was developed for Chordja. The system features a bright red position indicator light and a pair of direction indicator lights to indicate turning directions.

Crafted from pure white 6061 aluminum, its frame is made using a liquid forging process and weldless construction, resulting in a smooth, seamless form that is as rare as it is striking. The bike's commitment to environmental friendliness is reflected in the water-based, eco-friendly coating that gives the bike a stunning look while reducing its impact on the environment.

A unique feature of the Chord is the black removable battery, which complements the piano's black and white keys and adds elegance to the bike's design. Uniquely designed front and rear racks with sleek lines make the bike both stylish and functional, perfect for commuters looking for an easy and convenient way to get around town.

The Chord Tektro is also equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, 8-speed Shimano rear derailleur, StVZO headlight and CST C1720, 700 x 42C tires with reflective strips, so the manufacturer did not skimp on these components either, they tried to incorporate quality in the mechanical components as well. . The Chord is available in two sizes and has a load capacity of 130 kilograms. A Samsung Li-ion battery with a capacity of 352,8 Wh can be fully charged in just 3 hours and has a range of up to 120 kilometers in Eco mode.

Finally, we have to talk about the price! I guess you think that such a bike is a million dollar item, at least I tried to suggest that it is crazy expensive. I did this to make you feel that the unaffordable category is not where Urtopia plays. I'm not saying that, compared to cheap Chinese bikes, the Chord is not cheap, but perhaps you can see why. In the current introductory promotion, you have to pay 2300 euros, that is, not quite HUF 900. That's roughly 20-25 percent more than an entry-level torque-sensing bike, but you can see that the Urtopia Chord is far from entry-level.

By the way, we got one in the current sale Chord700 coupon code, with which additional 700!!! we get a euro discount, and the price is just that 1600 euros, which is the price of completely average bicycles with pedal sensors!

So the bottom line is that in its category, Chord can't be called expensive (especially with the coupon), so for those who want something special, something completely unique, it's worth checking out Chord.
