Product Description
The eZip Trailz electric bike helps you master the trail or the commute. Provides real transportation at speeds up to 18 MPH. U.S.A.
Amazon.com Product Description
Bicycles are a terrific mode of transportation, but sometimes you just need a little extra push while getting around town. Enter the iZip Trailz men's electric comfort bike, which is equipped with a 450-watt DC earth magnet motor and a 24-volt rechargeable battery. Far cleaner than gas-powered scooters but zippier than a traditional bike, the Trailz will get you from point A to B in no time at all, but won't guzzle gas or belch pollutants in the process. The battery offers a range of 15 to 22 miles per charge, so you can make it back and forth to the grocery store several times without running low on power. And once you're on the road, the Trailz boasts a top speed of 15 miles per hour (contingent on the rider weight)--plenty fast enough for most bike-friendly city streets. Is your work commute too far to walk but close enough that a car seems wasteful? Turn to the Trailz, which comes with a rear rack to carry groceries and other gear. The Trailz is powered by both the electric motor and good old-fashioned foot power, with an easy-to-use twist throttle helping propel you forward. The bike is also extremely comfortable thanks to the comfort saddle. Other features include Shimano seven-speed gearing, a high-rise handlebar and adjustable rise stem with Kraton grips, Currie E-Ride 26-by-2-inch street comfort tires, an easy-access charging port, and resin/rubber nonslip pedals. Designed for both young adults and fully grown adults, the Trailz weighs 76 pounds and offers a weight capacity of 240 pounds. Specifications:

 "Love My E-Zip Trailz" November 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R68SL5AXVSUBQ I love my E-Zip Trailz bike!
I Added the very bright Planet Bike Supper blinky Flash tail light and the front(Pyramid Pro Chrome Cruiser Bicycle Fenders, 26") I put the front fender on the rear of my E-Zip, There's no need to remove rear tire or wheel, bolts up perfectly and the same size screw that holds the water bottle to the frame will fit the threded hold where the fender blots behind the frames crank assembly, You will need to let the air out of the rear tire to get the screw and washer started, It's a tight fit to get fingers in the space between the tire and frame but it's not nessary to use that fender mounting spot if you lack mechanical skills because the fender fits tight regardless,
But it's sweet knowing you installed it perfectly as if it was specially designed just for the E-Zip, The fender is ajustable with the washer & screw and if not locked into place you may need to bend fender to clear the chain.
The washer if big enough it will lock the fender to the frame, no fender hold needed.
The fender braces will bend inside and around the rear rack & attery case.
The E-Zip is so impressive I even get compliments from people riding Harley-Davidson's!
Everybody who sees it "W0W" about it and starts a wide range of conversations!
I get really good mileage 12 to 15 at 8 & 10 mph speeds and in 4th & 5th geras most of the time, Though I do put a good workout into it to get the 15 miles without breaking into a serious sweet! I weigh 197lbs and I'm almost 61 years old and boy has this bike been a "God Sent" to own and ride.
I lost the rubber caps to cover the battery connectors on the rack so I used a aluminum zip top from a coffee can to form and cover for it.
This bike is solid as a tank I have no gripes about it for the price of this beautiful mechine and respect it as a Motorcycle because thats exactly what it is!
I can say that after getting 4 broke ribs, scapula, puntured lung, banged up shoulder and ankle, I hit a black thing sticking off a steel pole that people use to change the stop light for cross wall, It was dark still at 6am and in the shodows the thing was invisable and cought me in my righ side at 10 mph. I bought the pole and concrete drive with lethal pain. If I had the money I would buy 2 more E-Zips to use as spare parts because the bike will be a very old model in just a short few years.
Make sure you check your front and rear axles to make sure there not to tight, You want your axle to spin easy, For some reason most new bikes needed backing off of the bearing retainer nuts a little.
Good luck and enjoy your experience and bike for the times you have with it!
Live is to short after 40.
 Nice eBike for the Price November 7, 2008

For the price you can't beat this eBike. I bought one a few days ago and have been riding to/from work (7miles one way). I found that the gear shifter is a little poor in quality, but other than that, the bike seems very durable. Also, with the battery in place the bike's 7 speeds is not enough to go up slight inclines -- battery adds about ~20lbs. Overall, I am very please with the purchase and enjoy riding so much, that I get bummed out when I have to drive to work.
Why doen't everyone have this bike? October 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I use this as a daily commuter to work 10 miles. The bike pays for itself in gas savings in just two months. No mechanical problems at all. Performs as advertised. Everyone should have one of these, it is like a high performance bike on steriods. I have a steep hill on my commute which the bike handles very well. I passed a cyclist on a racing/road bike struggling up the hill the other day. I wizzed passed him effortlessly sitting in my seat with the "strain" of a brisk walk. I don't have to break a sweat on my way to work by taking it easy. On my way home I get a good workout by going faster. I am motivated to ride every day because I can decide if I want to work hard or be lazy while I am riding, there is no mental barrier to overcome that you encounter with normal bikes.
Gas Company Executives Eat My Shorts October 15, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was looking for a way to use less gas and, at the same time, get to work without getting sweaty (about a 3.5 mile commute). This bike is just what I was looking for. A fully charged battery will take you between 8 to 15 miles (depending on the weight of the rider, road conditions, etc) and costs pennies to charge (in my area its costs about .04 cents to fully charge). I encourage everyone who lives within about a 5 miles commute of their jobs to give it a try. The price is right. Collectively we can tell the gas company executives to get a real job.

Great value! Solid product! Some flaws w/ lock alignment for battery. Loads of fun. I'm sure to ride and enjoy for several years then upgrade to higher end similar product. Currie has several but nothing near this price. With free shipping and no tax beat Wal-Mart and other major retailers price. A bit dissatisfied with condition of package at arrival. Don't know if damaged in delivery or original shipment. Battery packaging was damaged resulting in cracked battery case. Amazon was of NO help. Currie warranty service was responsive. Had to pay for one way shipment ( they paid for damaged part return ). Purchase second battery at the same time. A bit steep on price however no other source located. Overall happy. Send an email to Amazon for battery shipping reimbursement ( $ 22.00 ) however don't expect a reply.
