Vanpowers UrbanCross-Ultra
The Vanpowers UrbanCross Ultra is the lightest, most tech-forward bike we carry — a gravel e-bike built for riders who want road bike performance with electric assist and smart connectivity. At 38.8 lbs with a carbon one-piece drop bar and internal cable routing, it rides like a proper gravel bike that happens to have a motor.
The 250W torque sensor motor responds to how hard you pedal rather than just whether you're pedaling — the assist feels natural and seamless, not jerky. Shimano GRX 600 11-speed hydraulic shifting and 160mm hydraulic disc brakes round out a component spec you'd expect on a bike costing significantly more. The T-BOX smart module connects to the VanLife app for GPS tracking, auto-unlock, movement alerts, and SOS crash detection — useful for both daily commuting and longer rides.
Best for: fitness-focused commuters, weekend gravel riders, and anyone who wants a bike that's equally at home on city streets and unpaved trails. Available in S, M, and L to fit riders from 5'1" to 6'7". This is the bike we recommend to riders who already have cycling experience and want a premium upgrade. Stop by any Riding 5 location to try it in person — no appointment needed.
