BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less.

The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
The Urtopia Joy Carbon is a utility e-bike with a carbon fiber frame, 500W motor, and 529.2Wh battery. The responsive throttle and pedal assist, strong brakes, decent range, and nimble handling earn praise. Reviewers also compliment the sleek design. However, the bike struggles on climbs, and the single size makes it unsuitable for taller riders despite Urtopia's claimed height range. The low payload capacity, dim headlight, and chain rattling are other minor complaints. Overall, reviewers think the Joy Carbon offers great value as a utility e-bike.Expert Reviews
