8 years agoBig fan of your videos,man! I’m in my mid 30’s and getting back into cycling after an 8 year hiatus. I live in Southern California on a hill above the ocean. I’t about a 1.5 mile commute down to the beach, of which 1/2 a mile is very steep… I would say about 30%. The downhill’s a blast (sometimes a bit scary) but it’s the uphill ride back home that send a novice to the E.R. I need power, and lot’s of it. After some research, I’ve narrowed down my search to the Vanmoof Electrified S and the Stromer ST2… mostly based on technology, aesthetics, and the larger batteries and power trains. Which one will better tackle the “hill of doom”? Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks, J

8 years agoHi Jordan! I’d go with any of the Stromer models (ST1 or ST2) because they ride more comfortably than the Vanmoof. It has a neat aesthetic but the large stiff aluminum tubes don’t flex and just feel really hard and stiff compared to other frame designs. I haven’t tested the Electrified S so I can’t say for sure but I currently have an ST1 Limited Edition and it’s awesome… has regen to help you brake down the hill, the motor is super powerful and quiet and it just feels good thanks to a Carbon fiber fork. Again, this is a bit of a one sided opinion but my experience with the Vanmoof frames has just been uncomfortable.

7 years agoThe IZIP E3 Vibe+ seems almost identical to the Raleigh Sprite iE. Does it also have 6 volt wires at the front and rear to add lights?
Also, do you have any preference between these two bikes?
Thanks

7 years agoHi Ron! You’re correct, Raleigh Electric and IZIP are owned by the same parent company called Accell North America. They put out several of the same models that are just colored and accessorized differently in order to reach different dealers. I believe that yes, they both have wires for lights. I’d go for the one you can get at a dealer so they can fit you and service the product (unless one color appeals to you more than another).
