I Love This Bike!, March 8, 2007
This review is from: Izip Urban Cruiser - Enlightened Electric Bike - NimH Batteries (Misc.)
At age 67 I thought I would never fall in love again....Boy was I wrong! I purchased this bike about 2 weeks ago and just can't stop riding it. Although the bike is not for the financially faint of heart, it's perfect for my lifestyle. Ok. here is what I know.
1. Totally stealth. No one knows the bike is electric so the authorities completely ignore you.
2. The seven speed manual shifter works great. No slippage in shifting.
3. The electric motor is totally silent.
4. I put a jel seat on it and it lets you ride for hours without discomfort.
5. It's only 48 lbs. I find it easy to lift on to my car carrier.
I put all the toys on it: front bag, trip computer, rear cargo tray, front and rear lights etc. I take it to Daytona Beach and ride on the sand. No problem with a in hub weather sealed motor. I could go on but you get the idea.
There is one thing I would like to see changed. To use the electric feature you must always keep the pedals moving. You can move them very slowly but if you stop to coast, the motor shuts off. It's no big problem and probably better for you so your muscles can stay loose and flexible.
My suggestion....If you can afford the price...Buy it! You will love this bike PERIOD!
