    Blown motor on E3 Dash with 29 miles on it

    I really appreciate that a Currie Tech member stepped in here above to help me (and many others) with my problem. I took his advice and called my shop today to have them re-clock the crank. They had called Currie and were told to do that before replacing the bike. I concurred, and decided to...

    Blown motor on E3 Dash with 29 miles on it

    No, the value doesn't go up, as it didn't also before when the other one wasn't working. But they both increased in throttle mode. When the other one sometimes decided to start working in pedal assist the value did go up. And as far as my dealer hooking up the sensor, if you mean did they...

    Blown motor on E3 Dash with 29 miles on it

    Boy, HH, that's really encouraging! But thanks for the heads up. Wow, five minutes to replace one. Now that is amazing. By now you should be a pro on all of this and the one to talk to should anyone encounter problems. You are invaluable to have around on this forum. Anyway, I got my new...

    Hillclimbing Dash

    Another thing that I forgot to mention that I was looking for was a battery located at the down tube under the seat or where it sits now on the Dash. I did not want one that was top heavy over the rear wheel. When trying to find a bike like that, one really begins to narrow down their options...

    Hillclimbing Dash

    Thanks for the heads up, Pace! I would shift down if I had to, but I tend to just make it without doing so, so I just leave it in 9th gear. And, wow, if that's the case that 231 lbs. is total weight including bike and accessories (as I also now read it in the manual on p. 8), then most of us...

    Hillclimbing Dash

    Yes, I find that anything over 10 degrees and the bike pretty much comes to a halt. I have a 15 degree grade on my driveway that is about 120 feet long, and I have to get a good running start going as fast as I can in 9th gear in pedal assist and in open throttle. For the last 15 feet or so I am...

    Blown motor on E3 Dash with 29 miles on it

    HumanitiesHaze-- I posted the same kind of problem as yours under the topic "New dash, same problems..." My dealer has ordered a new BB sensor and I should know by the end of next week, or sooner, if this solves my problem. Like you, all my diagnostic codes check-out fine, except for code 3...

    New Dash, some problems (update: fixed after brake lever adjustment)

    The Bottom Bracket Sensor problems are not the shop's fault. It is engineering and assembly from the factory. By all means, the shop should have initially checked the spokes, brakes and things like that after coming out of the box. Heck, even the factory should do that! But the BB sensor? Now...

    Dash e3, just bought and had a few questions

    I emailed a few reputable dealers to see if they could get the battery and if they differed on price. Three of them told me the same thing: $599. A couple of them didn't even respond. Maybe they weren't reputable dealers (lol). Or, maybe they just didn't care. One quoted me a hazmat fee plus...

    Dash e3, just bought and had a few questions

    Replacement batteries for the 2014 E3 Dash are $599 plus shipping. That's right, I didn't stutter. How bad do you really want that battery? Bad enough if you don't like walking your bike in steep terrain after a 20 or 25 mile commute. Especially if you are an old geezer like me. Just call a...

    New Dash, some problems (update: fixed after brake lever adjustment)

    I had the same rattling coming from the rear wheel. It was loose spokes that came with the bike right out of the box. I have also been getting the intermittent cut-out of power through pedal assist, and then it just cut-out altogether. All the diagnostic codes checked out fine for me, except...

    Dash e3, just bought and had a few questions

    I am a 235 lb. guy living in a very hilly area. There is a commute to and from my house that is about 18 miles. In assist level 2, coasting down the hills and on the flats with it in zero (“0”) assist mode, I got about 16 miles (fortunately it was downhill the rest of the way and I was able to...

    Dash handlebars raised

    I too wanted my handlebars to be closer and higher. My dealer, whom I purchased my bike from, suggested an adjustable riser as the ones mentioned above. He installed it right on the spot for me and I couldn’t be happier. I wanted an off-road looking bike with a cruiser feel, and I got it with...

    Hillclimbing Dash

    I have a 15 degree driveway that is about 120 feet long. I have to get a good running head start running the bike in 9th gear, and on the last 15 feet or so I won’t make it without turning the throttle control for some more power from the battery. I am a 235 lb. guy by the way. Not many people...

    Izip Dash Coasting Question

    When in pedal assist mode or throttle mode you will experience cogging, as noted above, from this motor. It’s the nature of the beast. Electricbikereview notes this little glitch in their review of the bike, so no one should seem surprised when this happens. It doesn’t do it when the motor and...

    In the beginning, and desire...

    Someone mentioned on the IZIP E3 Dash how that the trip odometer zeros out when computer times out or is turned off. This was very disturbing to me when this occurred to me, as the owner's manual does not say it will do this. It tells you how to manually reset it but not that it will just zero...
