This a dinosaur. Like a 286 computer. Google 'golden motors' and you'll see quite amazing advances in this technology, not to mention HUGE price reductions. Take a look at their 'magic pie' motor. No, I'm not kidding. Only the Chinese. But you can DIY &fit their hub motor to your own bike. But do a LOT of research first.
Check out their forum, see what their customers are saying. I have, and I'll buy a 'Golden Pie' when they release that model.
Those nice aluminum welds are for strength, wht cut a square hole in the frame for a switcth??? Jet airplanes widows are oval for a reason, inside corners are weak and will propogate cracks...
I am in England and have been trying to buy a izip urban cruiser for about 6 months, no one can get them here, everyone puts a picture of them on their websites and when you try and buy them they say they are out of stock and then they try to palm you off with something else.
Excellent integration of batteries and components - not ugly like other electric bikes. Hey, any chance you can help get electric bikes legalized in New York state? Yes, I know our state is always behind all the other states. Our state leaders have no idea what the word progressive means.
It was passed in January 2008. As long as you have pedals, do not go over 20 mph and the motor is less than 1000 hp, you are safe to use electric bikes the same places you would use regular bikes. Unfortunately, you have to be over 16 as well.
Prior to that it was stupid, classifying them as toys, so you couldn't take the bikes out of your drive way.
DAM! finally an informative review on the 'enlightened currie izip bikes. Been lookin for a review on these for like 7 month. If this had a 'off road' setting to assist past 18mph I'd get 1 tomorrow. 48lbs is pretty steep . Thanks for the info=D

I believe the description of where the motor is incorrect. I believe the motor is an electric hub motor in the rear wheel.

Two questions, how long does the battery last. How much does a replacement battery pack cost?
