![]() I ordered the Medium but the dealer was quick to tell me he could change the seats and the handle bars if need be. Getting on and off was not the best, but ok. I rode the Large and as short as I am it felt good. I came close on the eflow Neo, but liked this better and this was $900 less. I never even considered the Dash until I rode it. That is the best way to do it or just wait a bit longer. Ask them when the Currie rep will be in the area and arrange to meet him at the store. It is worth the wait to ride these bikes. My guess is the dealers that have ordered it will have them and the rest of the line by early March. To be frank, nothing they can tell you can prepare you for the smoothness of this bike. As far as I know no dealers have the new bikes yet and not many people have ridden them. But I found out today that the gearless ones apparently don't make noise or maybe not as much. I thought all ebikes make noise and you just have to find one you can deal with. It makes no noise while the geared hubs, depending on the actual bike and setup, can be very annoying. Aside from mot having a throttle, I am now hooked on the powerful GEARLESS DIRECT DRIVE HUB on the Dash. ![]() the only dealer within hundreds of miles said he had no inventory on this blog. I looked at what I could find out on the Motiv. He nailed it when he kept saying how smooth and quiet it is. I just looked at Court's video review of the bike. They will start shipping in less than a month. You can get a city kit for it, but I forgot to ask about it. I surprised myself with what I decided to buy but in the end it was a no brainer. These bikes are a quantum leap from everything else I have ridden. At speed you feel like you really are pedaling that fast on your own. I think the combination of the direct drive gearless hub and torque sensing pedal system is perfect. The Izip Peak is like the Bosch system and more of a mountain bike. The Dash will go 28+ in Pedal mode with no trouble and is very stable. The iZip Dash and Peak are a different breed of bike. I have ridden a lot of of Pedego and Currie bikes. It is a 500W direct drive gearless hub with 48v battery on the downtube. This bike is so so smooth and absolutely silent. Surprisingly, I could ride the L and was comfortable, but I ordered the M as it will no doubt be safer and easier to handle. I could get on and ride the Path but the rack is the issue making it a challenge just like the Pedego City Commuter, but it is a really nice bike. I had to wait a few weeks until he was in the area, but it was well worth the wait.īy the time I arrived, Monte, the rep, had a Path+, Eflow Nitro, E3 Dash and E3 Peak for me to ride. I contacted the president of Currie and between him and the dealer was able to meet with the Currie territory salesman at the store this morning. He stocks Izip bikes but the 2013 bikes didn't fit me. My local dealer here on Amelia Island, Florida who is a Currie dealer. It's to the point now I'm afraid to ride my bike because I worry about what the next failure will be.I pulled the trigger on a bike this morning after a month of driving many hours to dealers in Northern Florida to figure out the skinny on bikes. ![]() To make things worse, several people have the motors replaced only to have the new motor fail also. Apparently, the magnets are coming off the hub and in some cases it sounds like the motor might be seizing up. If the BB rotates, then the wires will be severed and you lose your torque and cadence signals.īut, the biggest problem now is all the motor failures the Dash and Path + are having. The problem is the BB is not keyed and is held from rotating only by the end caps. Then, they have this bottom bracket which has wires coming out of it through a small hole. At another forum where they have a section dedicated to Izip bikes, numerous people have experienced this and end up chasing poor connector problems. It works for a while and then it goes away. Well, all the excitement is gone and I really wish I would have gone with another electric bike, even if it cost me more.Īt first, it was the intermittent behavior of the pedal assist. And the Dash with it's hub motor would be a failure free way to go. From what I read, Currie was the company to go with because they have been around for a while. At first I was pretty excited, being that this was my first ebike. Boy, I really fell for all the glaring reviews and bought me one of these Dashes when it first came out.
