This review is for the first generation IZIP E3 Dash which launched in 2014. The second generation model saw improvements in motor durability, control pad accessibility, saddle comfort and drivetrain components. The E3 Dash offers speed, quality and affordability that’s top notch. It’s one of my favorite new bikes in the IZIP line for 2014 […]
If you’re looking for an ebike with solid components and drive system that won’t cost a lot, the Stride 500 might be perfect. Now, you won’t be getting pedal assist, no front light or fenders and there’s no fancy computer system here… but what it offer, works well. And it even comes with a two […]
The F4W (fast forward) Ride is a well rounded entry level electric bike. The highlights include a low mid-mounted battery pack that’s easy to put on and take off, front and rear lights, a cargo rack with bungees and front and rear fenders. My experience with the bike has been limited but the ride quality […]
The A2B Octave is an upgraded version of the iconic A2B Metro, one of the first mainstream stylish electric bikes. Not a lot has changed on the bike (besides the name) but that’s a good thing. In 2011 A2B merged with F4W and is now a part of the Hero Eco group. The re-released and […]
The Stromer ST1 Elite is one step down from the Platinum and offers fewer gears, a lower top speed, no front shock option and one less color choice… but you save $600. This is a well designed bike that rides smooth and looks amazing. It does not offer twist throttle mode which means you’ll have […]

Given that this is one of the best aftermarket electric bike conversion kits available, offering regenerative braking and intuitive LCD control system, the combination works very well! […]

The ElectroGlide 500 was one of the earlier models that Hebb produced and has since been replaced by the ElectroGlide 1000. If you see this bike at your local shop, you may be able to get a lower price and for the most part it’s the same design as the new bike only with less […]

It’s got three internal gears to pedal with, front and rear lights for safety, optional fenders to keep you dry, a good sized […]
