day time rider

On: 2010-01-17

I received my izip trailz. Put it together that night and charged up the battery. Everything went together just fine. Had to adjust the brakes. Its been raining here so couldnt get out for a ride. However, I did test it and it does run.

*Update: Put air in the tires rode around a couple of miles. Rode up hill, flat land and down hill. The bike rode nicely in all of those conditions. Turning on the juice (electrical power) was nice especially going up a hill !

Only negative thing I can say about it is its weight. I hope currie technologies make a lighter batter for this bike in the near future.

Kid Again!

Everything implied and more. Well constructed, well engineered, easily operated. Biking is fun again. Once again I can easily conquer rapid elevation gains and tricky terrain. Were talking mountain biking here; I dont go on roads. The bike is easy to load in the back of the pickup (sans battery), that goes on the passenger floor. As much as you can love an inanimate object, I love that bike. Though Im 65, when Im on that bike on a trail, Im a kid again. Move over grandkids, here comes Grampa!

2009 iZip Moutain Trailz AL "Black" Beauty.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R32SNB0MUNJELR The person who wrote the review before me must be really shot out or likes to bash something he knows nothing about.? "Get real dude..!"_____

The "AL" stands for "Aluminum" Its a totally Hybrid electric bike and it has very high gearing for those who have the ability to peddle beond the "( 17 mph motor cut off speeds ) "Legal limit" in most states.____First gear is the "MegaGear" which is a low gear for hills, taking off, pulling cargo trailers, head winds.____2nd gear on the 2009 iZip Moutain Trailz AL Black is like the 4th gear on the heavy 2008 eZip Trailz that I use to carry extremely heavy loads with.

If you like a light weight and high geared bike and able to peddle beond the motor cut off speeds of 17+ mph then this bike is for you, But if your like me and need a bike that is able to carry heavy loads then get the 2008 eZip Trailz bike.

I will be using the 2009 iZip MT AL for just running to the bank and other places with, I may carry some light items on the bike but nothing like I do on my 2008 eZip Trailz.

The aluminum hubs the 2009 iZip MT AL has will not handle heavy loads like the 2008 eZip Trailz, The spokes will rip right out of the hubs under the same weight I carry on my 2008 eZip Trailz.

Good Workship but slow...

This came and I had to put the handels bars on but it was not hard...
the front wheel was also not hard to get on... I did read the book and do the
first charge of the battery the right way.. Im 240lbs, and with my first ride
I did only get to about 17 mph AT MAX, on 100% flat grounds... SO I ordered a gas
motor Kit and I am removing all the electric stuff and Now Im happy.
