Have you ever noticed that some electric bikes have what appear to be nicer grips than others? I have some really nice hand sewn leather ones on my Electra Townie, non electric. Easy enough, you just slip them off the handlebars and slip new ones on. Is it possible or advisable to change...

Dave, Congratulations on the Carbon. It looks like a fantastic bike. I have really been impressed at the number of company execs that are on Court's site and so willing to jump in and help. Good for them and good for us. Enjoy your new ride.

So, I can probably use this Slime Smart Tube with Presta Valve in 700x 28-35. Should be close enough. Right?

Thanks Court. Very helpful. Seems odd that there are so few replacement tires and tubes 700 x 45c. I think it has a Presta valve so I will have to get an adaptor for my compressor. I got a really nice Blue Hawk model compressor for our bikes at Lowes last year for $49. I keep it...

Court, I might as well as this on this thread. The Dash wears 700x45c tires. First question is this the size or is there another way to express this size. I don't see it on the Slime website. If I put smart slime tubes in it, which size do you buy. Some seem close, but I must be missing...

Slime the Dash?? So far as I know, the E3 Dash tires are not Slimed. When I get the bike should I have the dealer install SlimePro tubes in the tires or have him Slime the tubes in the tires? Does it impact performance? I know very little about this subject, but have noticed that lots...

Great catch Justin. My wife is 5'3". She would not be able to ride the 2013 Metro. Back to the drawing board:-). I am going to take her by the local dealer to look at the 2013 bikes this week.

Hey Vern, I see Larry Pizzi is on the thread offering his help. He is President of Currie and has been super responsive in helping me get to ride his products and choose the right bike for me. As you would imagine, his knowledge of his product is extensive. I encourage you to email him...

Justin, The 2014 Zuma and Metro have the same PAG/TAG+ system as the 2013 Metro. I have ridden the 2013 Metro and as I recall you can start in pedal or throttle and goose it with throttle while riding. The new Dash doesn't have the same system. I rode so many bikes that day that I may be...

Vern, You are smart to be patient. It is a big investment. I was all set to buy the 2013 eFlow Nitro. High tech bike, great on paper, but when I rode it I just wasn't that comfortable. It was more of a mountain bike and the geometry was wrong for me. After riding the Dash which was silky...

Fitz, funny you mention the latch on the handlebars. When I rode the bike in Orlando that was the first thing I tried to adjust. The bike shop guy, who knew how to do it, struggled to figure it out and he had no clue how to tighten it. I am sure you will agree it is a gorgeous commuter bike...

You are right for sure. Actually, I rode the E3 Peak mid-drive and liked the Dash better. It didn't feel as nimble as the Dash for some reason. Bottom line is that the Peak is a mountain bike with a 6mph throttle for steep inclines when you have to stop. Maybe the mid drive is more suited...

I will post my impressions. Should be here before the end of the month.

I hate this. Now that I ordered an Izip Dash, thinking it was outstanding.....here comes the new tech and even more exciting bikes and battery technology . Is there an Autotrader.com to sell ebikes? Seriously, is there a market for used electric bikes so you can stay up with the new...

Some of you know, I have ridden a few of the bikes and recently ordered the Dash. It is fast, very quiet, solid and at 48v very strong and stable. It is built for tired for the road as I see it. It comes in sizes which is a good thing. I ordered it after great support from Currie...

Justin, I ordered a Dash this week. I test rode the medium/large. It surprised me that I could ride it but it was a bit big for me. I am 5'7" with short inseam. I ordered the small/medium which I hope will be a much better fit. At 5'11", I believe the medium/large would fit you much...

Vern, I think you are right to try and buy local. I was trying to buy online and get the info I needed to make the decision. I like the Shadow from what I see. The setup on the handlebars is very much like the Dash: Dash has separate control plus cruise control but no bell. Gear...

Hey Dave, You have already read my posts on the Dash, but I just read this thread and was glad to see that Court favors the Dash with its Torque system because I instantly could tell the difference. I put my foot on the pedal and the bike just went.....Seemed like the throttle was not needed...

Court, the first electric bike I rode was last years Izip Metro with the 36v battery in the tube. I was impressed how strong it was for only 36v based on what I had been reading. It is a very compelling proposition and the new one looks so much better and sounds quieter than the one I rode...

Thanks Vern. I looked at what I could find out on the Motiv. the only dealer within hundreds of miles said he had no inventory on this blog. Aside from mot having a throttle, I am now hooked on the powerful GEARLESS DIRECT DRIVE HUB on the Dash. It makes no noise while the geared hubs...
