The 2008 IZIP EZGO Electric Folding Bicycle

This is my first video. I bought this electric folding bike to get me to work and I really like it. The bike weighs about 50 lbs and goes about 20 mph. You don't need any kind of License or tag or anything to ride it. There is a new federal law that makes it street legal.

I am interested in buying this bike but there are two versions of it, one that you currently own and one that has gears, a lithium ion battery and is lighter...but about 3x the price! My question is does your model only one gear and if so does that even matter? I currently own the eZip Trailz (it's very heavy and doesn't fold its about 70lbs!) and I love it, it has gears but I always have it maxed out at 7 anyway which seems to be the hardest gear. How hard is it to pedal without the PAS?

@2006mobrown No gears but you can control your speed up and down with the hand throttle like a motorcycle. My biggest complaint on this bike is the top speed being around 20 mph. I would like one that goes a bit faster like say 30 to 35 and still have the same body style. Peddling is very easy but being in such a low gear you won't go very fast. The single gear its in reminds me of 1st gear on a ten speed bicycle.

Update: It has been a few years since I took this video. I still have the bike, the battery is still holding a great charge and runs like the day I bought it. The only thing that I have had to do is add air to the tires once in a while. My only complaint is the weight which is about 50 lbs. Lifting it in and out of our SUV is a hassle but not so bad that I would ever get rid of it.

one word to help ya for your next video.....tripod :)

[electricbikeman]

lol, well to be honest I was using one when I made this video but I am just not that great at making videos. I had the whole contraption in the air while I was walking around the bike and then set the tripod when I was about to ride up the hill and back. If I had had an 8 year old with me I am sure they could have done it perfect. I just kills me how good the kids today are at doing this stuff.

Also would it be possible if you could let me know what the dimensions are after the bike is folded up? I cant seem to find that info out anywhere, Id like to buy one and a carry bag for it but I need to know the dimensions when folded , ty

[electricbikeman]

24 inches wide 34 inches tall and 34 inches long. I may not be the best folder in the world but those are the measurement I just took with it comnpletely folded.

very nice. Electric bikes are so cool. Thanks for sharing.

Great bike! Do you know how easy it would be to find a replacement battery if yours fails? I imagine that there are a limited number of charges before replacement became necessary. And do you know what the cost of a replacement would be? These are things I want to know before I buy one.

Thanks for this information. Will now think of getting one of these.

Wow! looks fun! It's been several years, is this bike still working?

Hope your having fun.

Damn, those folded dimensions you give (24" x 34" x 34") would make the bike oversized on airline checked luggage ... looks like a $175(!) extra fee on Delta at least. I wish there was a cheap electric assist bike I could take with me on trips....

That looks nice n nippy. I have had an older Electrice Bike for about five years. Will sell it now now i have this newer model
