 great bike for the price August 18, 2008
Great price for this bike. It is electric up to about 18 miles per hour. 1 Flaw is that ridding over bumps dislodges the battery and so you need to get off and pull the battery out and re-set it back into it's holder....but if you are not ridding on bumpy ground it's great. You can probably get something to hold this battery in place?? The battery is heavy, if you had 2 batteries, it would probably make it harder to pedel--but it will hold 2 batteries. I feel it's a great price considering some others w/ better names cost $2000. Therefore at < $400 it makes a great 1st electric bike.(because it's so heavy & not well padded, expect damage in S&H)Which they compensated me w/ %20 off the price.
 Very Pleased August 16, 2008

I am very pleased with this Product. This is the Third one I purchased. 1st a mens bike, I paid $100. extra in delivery from Norther Tool. Then another Mens- whent to Northern Store & Purchased to be deliverd to thier store/ saved on delivery charge. But the Best Deal was this womens Curry on Amazon.com they charged No tax and No Delivery, just a strait $389.
All the bikes work Fine. I read a few bad reviews. It appears some people have tried to unscrew the fromt break to adjust it enough to put the front tire on. Not Necessary! Just pull the whole break harnest out of its slot and back in after placing tire on. Also some in reviews could'nt get them started and sent them back. Try the on and off switch for left or right optional battery located underneith back rack.
We had one Nut come off on the Womens Pedel Arm, no problem, just tighten it back on. I dont like the fact that the Extra Battery can only be purchased through Curry at more than $140. tax/delivery. I found the same sealed batteries at a local battery store for $39. each and I'm going to replicate their harnesting shell out of wood/ luan & 1x3's routerd. Overall Very Please. They Ride Sweet. Peddle only on hills, they will last farther distance. God Bless, Michael Siemer, Chatt. TN
 Not very high quality August 15, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
For under $400, I didn't expect a very high quality bicycle. I was hoping for something akin to the bikes at Walmart or Target. But this one didn't meet that.
1. Arrived with gouges on the frame from the way it was packed. An attempt was made to protect the bike surfaces but not all areas were covered.
2. The bike itself is very heavy, even without the battery.
3. The wheels were not even close to true. I replaced the front wheel with a different rim so I could use a brake. (I had to release all the brakes just so the wheels could spin.)
4. The electric system is a little flaky. I found that the batteries would not connect to the motor if I used the right side connectors (which arrived exposed). The batteries only work on the left side.
5. The fit of the batteries is so poor that it's impossible to lock it into place with the provided keys.
This bike was purchased as an experiment in e-bikes after seeing all the bikes in China. Something was lost in the translation over the Pacific. At least it wasn't a lot of money.
 Don't buy this E-bike (aka the electric bike) July 20, 2008
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
Reason: 1, battery is never big enough for a e-bike cuz of the restriction of the bike frame. Therefore can't expect great performance like those on electric club cars. On the hills it stoped, pedaling won't work, cuz the hill is way high. Doesn't make a difference huh?
2. Let's face it, this country the united states is not designed for bikers, bike lanes are not friendly, routes are very limited for bikes.
3. The very small battery which provides very limited energy exhuasts itself very soon, I live in a mountain area, Pullman, WA to be exact, after less than 2 miles riding, the battery is out, what am I suppose to do with a 87 pounder bike, pedal it will consume triple times energy than a regular bike.
4. This perticular product, 2008 ezip, feels like some refurbished chinese product, you can get a similar product but 10 times better in china for as little as 100 dollars, but this which costs you 400 bucks has major defects, first off, the indicator light of battery next to throttle is a joke, you put the battery in, green and yellow lights are both on, the on-off switch doesn't control the whole circute, since after 5 mins without doing anything, the lights went off, power went off, no matter if your on-off swich is on or off. In riding, it can happen too, so what you gonna do my friend? you gonna lift the battery up and push it back down, to get the whole power on again. Oh and no matter when you have a little bumping on the road, the power automatically went off, so you have to ... yep, like I said, lift teh batter up and push it back down, and wait another 5 mins or another bump, to get the whole process repeat itself again.
5. I'm gonna return it, thats for sure.
6. The front brake is very hard to adjust, and unfortnately you have to deal with it, because thats the only way you can assemble the front wheel as they were only parts and non-assmebled when delivered.
7. What can you do with a e-bike really, commute less than 2 miles round-trip per day? Impossible to carry groceries? Let's face it, folks, gas price is sky high, but to live in this pathetic country the united states, you need a car, even if its a lemmon, doesn't matter, cuz you need a car, the only way to survive your job, your grocery your crazy life.
Too many problems with this bike July 14, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was very excited to find an electric bike for this price and hoped to ride it to work. The combination of the motor and peddlng would be good exercise, and save on gas as well as help the environment. I was soon very disappointed.
The bike was packaged very well, and easy to assemble, although my son and I never did get the front brake adjusted right. I decided to ride it to the bike shop to get the brake adjusted, using the rear brake. I charged the battery... I know it was charged because I own a izip 500 scooter made by the same company and I have charged that battery many times. But this bike didn't get any power. The lights on the right handlebar wouldn't light up. I inserted the battery according to the instructions and turned the key, still nothing. I took the battery out several times and reinserted it, turned the key following all instructions but still no power. Then I decided to try peddling it so I took it to the road and tried the gears. That was the second problem. The entire gear assembly turned around the handlebar but it wouldn't change gears. I finally got it to change but it took 2 hands. The third problem was the chain skipped as I peddled. So I pulled up to my house and applied the brakes-- oh yeah, they don't work. The rear brakes did work though.
I fooled around with it for a weekend, wondering if I did something wrong, but I'm not so stupid that I can't get a bike together and running. So Sunday night I went on Amazon.com and set up for the package to be picked up. Here is where the bike earns the one star. Amazon has always been great about returns. The next day they had UPS pick it up at my house and Amazon said I will get a full refund.
I don't recommend this bike. But if you do decide to buy this, DO NOT throw away the carton and styrofoam.
