    Camera Options (Which is Best?)

    Hey Brambor, thanks. Just ordered it. I am running out of real estate on my Dash handlebars. I put a bell on it, hung a bright led white flashing light and have my Ipad mount as well. I guess I could have worse problems:-)

    The mount looks like good quality. Who makes it?

    2014 Currie IZIP E3 DASH

    Treehugger, I had the same experience as you with the gears. As Court mentioned, you can use lower assist to conserve battery but combined with lower gears it allows you to go slower easier if that makes any sense. When I ride with friends that don't have electric bikes, I lower the gears...

    Help me choose please:)

    Ricardo, I am not familiar first hand with the Cross, but I did ride the 48v City Commuter. It is a stunning upright bike with lots great kit and tons of power for the heavier rider and some outstanding adjustable handlebars which would allow you to play with your riding position to get it...

    Do you get more exercise riding an electric bike?

    Vern summarized it very well. For me, the thought of extended rides made be worry about the return trip. I find myself almost always pedaling and rarely use the twist and go except for starts in high gear on the E3 Dash to get going. It is a nice feature. I ride longer, further, pedal...

    Clipless or Platform Pedals?

    Dave, I finally got the MG1's on my Dash. It makes a huge difference. Thanks for your help. I really like them and have been enjoying the Dash as well.

    5'7" female, city commuter/errand runner

    Jab, You will love the electric bike when you get it. I am 5'7" and went with the s/m Dash which fits fine. The Path+ is a nice step through model with the same pedal plus throttle assist which is nice especially with stops and starts. The Currie allows you to stay in a higher gear and use...

    Converting Electra Townie 3 Speed to Electric?

    I now have 50 miles on my Dash. Good fun and great bike. I have a really nice tricked out Electra Townie bike that I would like to make electric. The new Townie Go is too noisy, too slow, and I already have one without the motor. A LBS has agreed to do the work for me, but I have to...

    Clipless or Platform Pedals?

    I think since it is early days for me on the Dash, I will stick with platform pedals. I took Dave's advice on the MG1'a and Court's on the cool colors and went with a gold set that matches the accents on the Dash. It is a bigger pedal than the Wellgo's that are on the bike now and fairly...

    Clipless or Platform Pedals?

    I am breaking in my new Izip E3 Dash. Fantastic bike. Just need to figure out how to keep my sitting bones from aching, but that is another thread. The pedals are Wellgo. I know that Court favors these pedals and they are ok, but seem a bit small to me. I was wondering which of the...

    E3 Dash...test riders?

    Interesting thing about the bike computer on the DASH. The pedal assist has four levels. In each of the four levels plus throttle, the computer will give you a range. Level 1 46 miles Level 2 36 miles Level 3 27 miles Level 4 18 miles Throttle 16 miles I imagine this changes real...

    2014 Currie IZIP E3 DASH

    Hey Justin, Just got my Dash today. The bike is really impressive at first glance. I would say, menacing is a good way to describe it. Expensive would be another. It looks like the high quality product that it is. Yesterday it was 81 on the Island and today it is 50, soI only put five...

    E3 Dash...test riders?

    Justin, Have you gotten your bike yet? Carrier says my Dash will be out for delivery to my LBS today. So maybe tomorrow when rain is forecast, but 70's for the weekend so looking forward to it.

    Seattle Bike Expo - March 1 and 2, 2014

    Oilerlord, did you happen to see the new EVO ECCO Lite bike? My wife is 5'3" and I was considering the City, but was told the EVO ECCO was possibly a better choice.
