Product Description
Bicycles are a terrific mode of transportation, but sometimes you just need a little extra push while getting around town. Enter the eZip Trailz men's electric comfort bike, which is equipped with a 450-watt DC earth magnet motor and a 24-volt rechargeable battery. Far cleaner than gas-powered scooters but zippier than a traditional bike, the Trailz will get you from point A to B in no time at all, but won't guzzle gas or belch pollutants in the process. The battery offers a range of 15 to 22 miles per charge, so you can make it back and forth to the grocery store several times without running low on power. And once you're on the road, the Trailz boasts a top speed of 15 miles per hour (contingent on the rider weight)-plenty fast enough for most bike-friendly city streets. Is your work commute too far to walk but close enough that a car seems wasteful? Turn to the Trailz, which comes with a rear rack to carry groceries and other gear.

Improvements would be increased quality control on batteries and chargers, upgrading handlebar, and redesigning the battery terminals. Buy it. It works fine for what it is. Pros - Great value for an electric assist bike. Paid for itself in commuting savings not to mention health benefits. - Comfortable ride (thicker tires help) - Surprisingly quiet motor - Having both Pedal Assist and Twist features is nice Cons -Quality control issues combined with 90 day warranty: -Battery replaced in two weeks (warranty replacement plus shipping charge) - $25 -Charger replaced in four months - $40 -Battery terminal 1 replaced in five months - $20 (part only) -Battery terminal 2 replaced in 11 months - $20 (part only) -Email customer service never replied to requests. Phone CS are helpful though. Design Comments -Basic handlebar design is... Read more 31 of 32 people found the following review helpful My first e-bike, By Daniel Zuber (Smartville, CA, US) - See all my reviews This review is from: Currie Technologies eZip Men's Trailz Electric Bicycle (Sports) I actually bought this bike from Walmart.com to save on shipping costs. I have had it for 2 months now. I have to say that for the price it is probably the best e-bike you can buy. My first real test for my bike was a sponsored event called 'Bike Around The Buttes'. A forty mile ride with a few hills but mostly flat. I had 2 batteries for this trip. I pedaled at a moderate pace (12-15 mph) in battery assist mode. I was very nervous because I did not think the batteries would last that long. Surprise, the first battery went twenty miles. good thing too because the batteries lasted a whole lot longer than my legs did (I am 65 and about 60 lbs over weight :-). The second battery went about 18 miles. I had forgot to charge it up the night before so it had a short trip to work and back on it. fortunately the first battery had partially come back to life and it brought me the rest of the way to the finish. I was still able to maintain about 12 mph.The instructions tell you to...

I put on about 500 miles on it. I have found that for me an electric bike is the best, environmentally-friendly mode of short range transportation for commuting and pleasure. I have found that many on the market are too expensive and don't come with a free test ride. There are even some upwards of $1,000 that come with SLA batteries.Pros: + affordable entry-level electric bicycle + reduction in carbon footprint + minimal sweat after a ride; longer distance achieved with same amount of effort as a non-electric bike. (This is the primary reason anyone would get an ebike, right?) + convenient battery lock and disconnection + free bicycle parking when commuting to work in the downtown zone + pedestrians and other bicyclists see you and whisper to each other "hey, that's an electric bike!" + torquey 450 watt motor + quiet operation + brakes and other components are more heavy duty in...
