I like to use throttles to help get me started… especially on cadence sensing electric bikes which take a pedal rotation or two before the motor kicks in. The boost button sounds neat, but because it doesn’t become active until the bike is moving ~2 mph, I feel that it loses a lot of its potential value. It offers up to 63 Newton meters of torque and can be powered through cadence sensing pedal assist (by default) or a boost button throttle which is sold separately. Plus, you get a comprehensive two-year warranty from the Accell Group (which owns IZIP) and their systems use CAN bus which allows for fast, easy diagnostics by shops who sell the product.ĭriving this bike is a powerful mid-drive from TranzX called the M16. For the price, I see this is a very capable electric bicycle, and if you ride it thoughtfully, it should hold up well over time. Now the battery pack is removable and both wheels use quick release so maintenance and flat fixes aren’t such a hassle… so it’s a mixed bag. If you’re unable to shift smoothly, the chain, cassette, and derailleur will wear out faster and that goes for the display panel as well because it’s not removable. My biggest gripes center on the lack of shift sensing and brake lever motor inhibitors as well as the two-step on and off process.

The 2017 IZIP E3 Dash weighs about 53 lbs, which I would consider good for having the fenders, rack, and a larger 48 volt battery pack. This is a huge deal for people like me who have a sensitive back and neck but also want a light weight frame. And the new Dash has a 65 mm air fork along with medium-width tires to really improve the comfort of your ride. I like that they added alloy guides on this chainring to keep the chain from bouncing off if you take the bike across a bumpy section of road. The motor is compact, relatively quit but not as quiet as Brose or Yamaha, and uses a standard sized chainring. Most other mid-drive ebikes I’ve been seeing form premium brands use Bosch, Yamaha, or Brose but the E3 Dash has gone with TranzX, probably to keep the cost down. This is a Class 3 Speed Pedelec capable of reaching ~28 mph top speeds and it uses a cadence sensor so you don’t have to work as hard to hit and maintain top speeds.

While the 2017 version does not come in multiple colors, I feel like the silver and black looks professional and approaches unisex while also improving your visual footprint from the side. It looks great, is value priced, offers great urban accessories (fenders, integrated lights, and a rear rack in this case) and comes in several sizes for improved fit.
