Currie Ezip Trailz Electric Bike

[DirkME1022]

Hi there ;-) are you still running this eBike any changes made in that time? Would be great if you could share your experience. And how is the brushed motor holding up so far? Thanks for sharing and I would have loved to see another video of your eBike in action / on tour :-)) thanks ;-)

@DirkME1022 I still drive it occasionally but not much since the batteries are about fizzled out and can't afford new ones at this time. Hopefully by this fall or winter. I've never had one problem with the bike and still would recommend it as the best buy out there on ebikes. My closest Walmart has two in stock but are still priced at $399. I originally bought mine for $150 on clearance there, so if you keep a close watch on them, you can really get a good buy.

@motorizedfun I now how it feels, right now I am still unemployed (3rd month) but I am also full of hope getting a job very soon. I am monitoring prices online, living in Canada near the North Dakota boarder I can get it send to the boarder and pick it up from there ;-) I still believe this ebike is best value for your moneey, they offer now the lif4po batteries for it but the price is $399.00 for that money you get a full ebike, so depending on my situation I would still go with the lead ;-)

@motorizedfun Hey, i am selling a Currie 24 volts battery por 149.99, let me know if u r interested

[WhiteBoyComedy]

[motorizedfun]

@WhiteBoyComedy Texas. Those buildings you see are part of a peanut mill.

[sheepleoftheworld]

lol it sounds like a dying cat

[garagecrap]

"would be only for status, and people won't notice anyway." hehe, how true.

[SGfreak101]

Will I be able to ride 4 miles there & back on 1 charge?

I'm thinking about getting one these bikes for college use!

[motorizedfun]

You should have no problem if the battery is in good shape, but you can take the charger with you and charge it while you're in classes, so I see no problems whatsoever. Would be a great, economical bike for school. I've been driving mine a year now. Battery is getting old, down to about 4-5 miles total now.

[SGfreak101]

How long would it take for me to ride about 4 miles there & 4 miles back with about 30 pounds of camera gear on my back, That would bring my total weight up to 225 pounds all together.

[motorizedfun]

You'll average about 15 mph. Don't know how many stops you have but you can do the math.

[snakefl]

32 minutes round trip. 16 minutes one way (4 miles.)

Flowers have petals. Bikes have pedals.

There is quite a difference in the sound of a currie motor and a angle drill lol

[WatermelonHeaven]

That motor sounds like a freaking siren. I'd rather have a hub motor. They're much quieter.

[luc59457]

I disagree with motorizedfun about hubs being definately quieter. The currie motor is actually quite silent in some cases. Noise can be related to gear ratio's within the motors and whether it's brushed or not. At 36v 1000w the currie does much faster than this. Don't believe, come see...

[motorizedfun]

Show me a Currie Ezip Trailz like mine that is "quite silent". Show me any hub motor that is louder than my Currie. I really don't care that much about the sound, I was just making a point that the motor is rather loud. I'm quite pleased with the bike and it's my personal opinion that the motor sound is the only drawback.

[copyrightenforcement]

It's easy to see that the currie motor on this bike is a bit loud. Don't know why you're in such denial, but then, some people are never wrong. I've yet to see a hub motor that is anywhere close to the loudness of the currie motor.

[luc59457]

The Currie 36v 1000w is not much louder than a hub.

[motorizedfun]

My ezip Trailz motor is 24v 450w. I'm not talking about other Currie motors, just the one that's on my bike. My motor is very loud. Dogs start barking at it from 2 blocks away.

[luc59457]

Hehe, same here with my drill powered bike, its so loud its fun to ride. Sorry, I was responding to the other person on that, I was refering to the other currie, since there is a relation.

[luc59457]

some people are never wrong, what a dumb comment. no offence

[Itidiare050]

Can some1 link me a site where i can buy an 2008 mountain trailz battery. Thx

[julesagogo]

I just got mine and thought the noise was not as bad as I'd expected...you've heard quieter ones? I wonder about putting this motor/battery on my old Trek 750...

[motorizedfun]

Yes, just about any e-bike is 100% quieter than this, but they are also more expensive. The hub motors are definitely quieter, almost silent.

[texanleons]

This bike will fly...

[motorizedfun]

yeah, and pigs fly too...
