5 year update! I didn’t ride at the same rate during the pandemic (no commute!) but am back commuting and recently hit 5000 miles on this bike!!! Everything thing has continued working great. Tires - surprisingly still on the original tires. I did rotate them as the rear tire was starting to...

My LBS said the range is calculated based on the past two miles you’ve ridden. So it you rode uphill in High, the range will be lower then if you coasted down hill in Eco the previous two miles. I just keep an eye on the number of bars on the battery and don’t every look at the range. This...

1 year Update on my 2018 Izip E3 path plus low step I have to say, this bike has been a game changer. I absolutely love it. Here's where the bike is at this point: Mileage/Battery Just over 2,500 miles 100 round trips commuting, which means I've recharged the battery about this many times...

Hi RJM1970, It's holding up well. My LBS replaced the pedals at no cost. I replaced the disc brake pads myself at 1,000 miles, which went smoothly. I did need to tighten up some of the bolts holding the rack to the frame. I carry two full ortlieb panniers, probably with at least 20 lbs of...

960 miles - both my pedals broke this week. One I didn’t notice until locking up. It broke completely through in a corner. The other cracked halfway through when I was standing up from a stop at a stoplight. I heard it. In other news I was hearing a scraping noise. I thought my brake pads...

3 Month Update No issues. Battery has been charged 34 times. Odometer is about 850 miles. I’m really enjoying the bike.

Update: at 100 miles and the few miles prior I kept hearing a squealing and eventually I couldn’t turn the pedals at all. Here’s what happened. There are two small bolts behind the front chain ring just above the axel that anchor the chain guard. One of those small bolts loosened up and got...

I plan to post updates here on my long term experience with my new e bike. Above bike with size large frame, class 1, shimano steps mid-drive motor e6000. 418wh battery. Tires are 700x40c, different than manufacturers website specs. Some background on what led to my purchase...

I found out I can add my bike to my homeowners for $13/yr, no deductible. However I still need to get details on what all it covers and if it replaces full cost or depreciated value.

It’s not too bad actually. I just purchased a lock that will cover up to $1750. You can purchase in year increments. 5 years is only $30. I think whatever duration you select up front is all you get. In other words I don’t think you can purchase one year and then one more year at the end of...

I assume you mean oregon. I’m also in the PDX area. I’ve looked into velosurance for my soon to arrive $2k ebike. 124/yr + $200 deductible makes me a scratch my head. Plus I figure I’ll be saving at least $30-60 per month in gas. Call it $350 a year. Insurance is for catastrophic risks...

I plan on posting updates as I get a long term review of the bike/mileage updates. Probably a new thread, in the iZip sub forum. Is that the right spot? (New to these forums)

I ended up riding each bike ~36 miles which included about 2000 feet of elevation gain. (Most of which, 800 feet was over the course of 3 miles) Here are were my observations/opinions: (Path plus first / cross e second) Miles on bike when tested: 1,010 / 10 miles Path plus was much lighter...

I own both the take a look and Mirrycle bar end. Haven't used the take a look in years, mirrycle is used every ride. Much more convenient to get on the bike and go for me.
