Urtopia Carbon Fusion Pro Review | SUV-Styling Goes Carbon

Urtopia advertises up to 75 miles of range for the Carbon Fusion Pro. Its 529Wh battery is on the smaller side for a commuter-class e-bike, but that aligns with Urtopia’s focus on keeping weight down. Paired with a 500W motor, efficient torque-sensor delivery, and relatively slim tires, the claim is plausible under ideal conditions — Urtopia reports achieving it in Eco mode with a 180 lb rider on flat ground.

Range varies with rider weight, terrain, weather, and assist level, so we ran our own tests on mixed bike paths with both hills and flat sections. We tested Eco and Turbo modes at Class 2 speeds:

That’s respectable range, although it doesn’t fully meet the 75-mile aspirations. To each their own when judging what qualifies as “good range,” but at least where efficiency goes it was a good score.

Most commuter e-bikes we’ve tested consume 11.5 Wh/mi on low assist and 21.7 Wh/mi on high. The Carbon Fusion Pro averaged 11 Wh/mi in Eco and 17.8 Wh/mi in Turbo, outperforming category averages in both cases. It makes excellent use of the capacity it has.

For riders prone to range anxiety, Urtopia offers a 353Wh range extender that mounts directly to the frame. Adding it boosts capacity by roughly 67%, which — based on our data — translates to an estimated 49.5–80.4 miles depending on assist level (Urtopia claims it can go 120, in the right conditions). The extender doubles as a power bank too, letting you charge USB devices via a 5V output.

One thoughtful detail: the frame includes two bottle-cage mounts. Many brands sacrifice cage space when offering a range extender, but Urtopia’s layout lets you carry water or the extra battery, or both.

The Carbon Fusion Pro’s motor lands in the middle ground for power. It feels quicker than expected on flat terrain, but it’s more measured when the road tilts upward. It can handle steep challenges like our ½-mile, 8% grade test hill, though it won’t empty the tank to get there.

In our throttle-only test, the bike climbed about 72% of the hill before stalling — the farthest we’ve seen from a 500W motor that couldn’t quite crest the top. Many similar motors tend to stall closer to the 40% mark, so this was still an above-average effort.

When we switched to Turbo mode with pedaling, the Carbon Fusion Pro reached the summit in 2:54 (10.4 mph average). That’s slower than the commuter-bike average of 2:17, but finishing the climb at all is a win for a bike tuned more for agility and efficiency than brute strength.

The Fusion Pro isn’t a “hill flattener,” so riders in very hilly areas may prefer something with more muscle. But for flatter routes — or if you don’t mind putting in some effort on steeper grades — its other strengths are worth leaning into. Even on a secondary test hill, the bike carried me to the top despite my 50 lb weight advantage over our dedicated hill tester, Justin, proving it doesn’t quit easily.

The Carbon Fusion Pro uses Tektro HD-E3520 hydraulic brakes, a popular choice among e-bikes in the $2K-and-under range. They strike a solid balance between capability and affordability, making them a fitting pick for this bike.

In our standardized brake test, the Fusion Pro averaged a 22’4” stopping distance from 20 mph. That’s a few inches longer than our overall all-bike average (21’11”, as of this writing) but an inch shorter than the commuter-bike average, so a strong result given its setup.

Context makes the performance even more noteworthy: the bike rolls on 29” wheels with knobby tread, which typically increase stopping distance compared to smaller, slicker commuter tires. Despite that, the Fusion Pro outperformed many peers, helped in part by its lightweight carbon frame.

On everyday rides, the brakes felt confident and predictable. There was no skidding or fishtailing, and the integrated rear brake light (mounted to the fender) adds visibility in traffic, supporting safe stops in real-world conditions.

Urtopia’s frames always stand out (like the unique Urtopia Carbon Joy) , and the Carbon Fusion Pro is no exception. Its angular design even reminds me a bit of a saxophone emoji — not a criticism, but a fun, distinctive touch that doesn’t compromise performance. Four colorways are available: Deep Sea Blue (our test bike), Elegant Grey, Blazing Black, and Vial Orange.

A 19” standover height makes the bike approachable, and there’s plenty of adjustment in the seatpost and stem to fit riders across its quoted height range. Urtopia’s Toray carbon fiber frame helps keep flex in check; while step-through bikes often have some give, the stiffer material makes the Fusion Pro feel planted in corners. I found myself leaning into turns at speed more and more. Even at downhill speeds above 35 mph, the frame felt steady and predictable.

The bike also feels agile thanks to its light weight and narrow tires. The Kenda hybrid tires strike a nice balance. Their knobby tread adds a bit of road noise but provides reassuring grip on gravel or dirt. At just 2.05” wide, they don’t sap speed on pavement. Up front, the Zoom suspension fork has 60 mm of travel, which is enough for commuting comfort and light trail duty. After adjusting preload, I didn’t quickly bottom it out at 235 lbs. The bike can handle off-road exploring, but it’s most at home on mild dirt or rail-trail paths.

The color display is bright and easy to read. Along with standard readouts and speed controls, it even shows rider vs. motor effort — a neat feature if its accuracy holds up which I don’t know how to verify.

Most of my nitpicks center on accessories. The 40-lux headlight is quite small and easily obscured by the cable cluster; braiding the cables could help visibility. The metal fenders look good but their support arms are a bit flimsy, adding occasional rattle.

On the plus side, Urtopia offers an MIK HD rear rack rated for 60 lbs (total payload: 330 lbs). It’s compatible with panniers, baskets, or even passenger add-ons, making it a smart choice for commuters.

All told, the Carbon Fusion Pro delivers impressive value. Carbon fiber isn’t usually associated with affordability, but Urtopia has been challenging that notion, pairing lightweight construction with solid features. This is an accessible, well-equipped option for riders who want lightweight performance without breaking the bank.

For riders looking for a lightweight, versatile e-bike, the Urtopia Carbon Fusion Pro is an appealing choice. Carbon-fiber frames — and their many benefits — were once out of reach for most buyers, but Urtopia brings that technology to a practical, budget-friendly platform. The Fusion Pro is equally comfortable handling daily commutes or light touring while maintaining solid specs and approachable pricing.

I especially enjoyed its handling. The carbon frame gives the bike an agile, playful character, and it feels confident at speed — a step above the average hybrid commuter. The motor delivers lively acceleration on flat ground and holds its own on hills, provided you’re willing to contribute some pedaling (you’ll still breeze past most acoustic riders).

Styling is unconventional, but in a good way: bold geometry and four distinct color choices make it stand out without sacrificing function. Despite offering just one frame size, its fit adjustability and thoughtful extras make it surprisingly adaptable. Add-ons like the MIK HD rack or range-extender battery broaden its use even further.

Available both online and in select retail locations, the Carbon Fusion Pro is a well-rounded, full-sized e-bike that blends modern design, carbon-fiber efficiency, and commuter-ready features at a price that makes high-end materials accessible.
