It’s powerful, fast and extremely quiet to operate but doesn’t offer regeneration modes as some other models do. The narrower tires and large 700c (~28.5″) wheels offer excellent efficiency but a bit less comfort than the IZIP Zuma Cruiser while beating it in terms of utility with its fenders and rear rack setup.ĭriving this electric bike is a powerful 500 watt gearless direct drive hub motor located in the rear wheel. This is especially true if you add panniers on the back to hide the battery. It’s an ebike that performs best on paved streets and sidewalks in city and neighborhood environments and really blends in as a traditional bicycle. Those improvements include a sturdier display panel, sleeker control pad that’s easier to reach, more comfortable handlebars that still sweep back but aren’t as wide as before and an improved extra-wide saddle. These benefits remain true with the updated second generation version for 2015 shown in this review and it improves on the original in several key ways. It also offered a solid warranty with industry leading support from Currie Technologies that has one of the largest networks of dealers in the US. The bike was relatively comfortable and efficient to ride with fenders, cruise control and a rear carry rack that had built in bungee cords for securing cargo. The second generation E3 Path+ launched in 2014 and was well received because it offered a larger motor and improved frame design over the original 2013 version. P.S.The most recent version of the IZIP E3 Path+ came out in 2016 and features a mid-drive motor from Shimano STePs instead of a gearless direct drive hub, this makes the frame more balanced front to rear and offers better efficiency and range by leveraging the cassette, the price also dropped.
