    350 watts or 500 watss

    How do you know if your motor overheats? What is the sensation.? I find sometimes when I am charging home, which is 5 miles, mostly uphill, that the motor will cut out and then come back on. I had been thinking that this was an engine cut-off triggered by a fault in one of the brake levers or...

    Got yelled at by the police

    Oh, and another option is to turn right into the shopping center, turn right at the Appleby's, then turn left into the 5 lanes of traffic crossing Route 46 from the south. I'm not sure which odds I like better...

    Got yelled at by the police

    Wolfgang, My Road ID bears the inscription: "WE ARE TRAFFIC, DAMN IT!". Our regional (perhaps national) road culture is such that cyclists are not yet welcomed, much less respected, members of the road going community. That we "block traffic" suggests that we are not considered part of the mix...

    2014 Currie IZIP E3 DASH

    Thanks for the reply, Pace. I purchased my 2014 at the end of the model year. Not sure how the battery is supposed to perform, whether it degraded while sitting on the bike shop floor etc. etc. I'm just trying to feel confident that my recent purchase came with a fully performing battery. Maybe...

    2014 Currie IZIP E3 DASH

    One more question I have not been able to find a solid answer to is whether this is a bike I can use to commute in the rain and snow. Commuting was the intended purpose of the purchase - and I try to commute by bike whenever I can year round. I'm assuming the announced but as of yet unfulfilled...

    2014 Currie IZIP E3 DASH

    C.T., Let me state up front that I am a very, very, very happy owner of a 2014 Dash. I ride a lot, but I have not been this excited about getting on the bike in a long time. So, thank you! I should have been more descriptive. The sensation is one of an intermittent, pulsing or cycling...

    drag in dash rear wheel

    Same thing here! Had mine in the shop last night. They confirmed the presence of the vibration so I know I'm not nuts. They assured me it was not the motor or the bottom bracket, but they could not offer an explanation. Like you, it does not seem to affect the performance, it's just a little...

    Dash Light Kit

    How do you plan to handle your concern that the bike lights will be controlled by the light sensor on the display panel? That for me is the reason to suffer the inconvenience of batteries. I ride with lights on al all times, with a flashing pattern during the day.

    Dash fender question to you Currie folks, please?

    Has anyone tried to fit a specialized turbo city kit on a dash? Looks like a solid kit and appears to be the same wheel size. The wildcards in my mind are mounting points and frame clearance.

    Dash Light Kit

    As a general matter, the Cygolight Metro 360 and the 2 W rear with pulse mode are considered among the best commuter lighting systems on the market: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E1NQ696?pc_redir=1413685069&robot_redir=1

    Dash Light Kit

    If you haven't seen it yet you should check the post entitled "double vision" for an interesting mounting option. I think I'm going to go in that direction. Looks very purpose built and OEM. Happens to be pictured with a very light that you purchased. I think the double lights look great! And...

    double vision

    Great suggestion and quite a solution. I run two lights as well and was not happy light pattern that resulted from the canted handlebar mounting.

    2014 Currie IZIP E3 DASH

    Used the hack today and it worked. Level 1 now feels more like a Level 1 should! Now if I could get an understand of how it is that my gearless motor feels like something in it is grinding....

    drag in dash rear wheel

    Just picked up a Dash and posted my purchase story today. I concluded by noting my sole concern which is an intermittent cyclical vibration that I feel through the pedals. A vrum.. vrum.. vrum.. as I pedal. Usually under high load and over 15 MPH. If that sounds like what you were/are...

    Dash Light Kit

    Any update on how that timeframe is coming along? I'd rather not aftermarket assemble an ad hoc package if I can get a proper kit from the manufacturer.

    Pulled the trigger! 2014 E3 Dash joins the team! (Warning: Back story included...)

    I got back on the bike some 8 years ago following a surgically assisted weight loss which made possible a surgically replaced hip which made possible a new life out of which I have been attempting to squeeze every drop of available juice ever since. Mobility and the absence of pain can really...

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    Thanks for that great survey of the applicable law. I have been hesitant to head out on a tour of NYC being uncertain about how my E3 Dash would be viewed. So the question now is whether there is any way to disable the throttle through a manual or software fix. Truth be told, I rarely twist my...

    Dash Seems Perfect - Except for that high top bar

    Powerful, Take a look at the iZip Path +. My eye tell me that it has the same frame, battery power and motor as the Dash. The differences seem to be the lack of front suspension, the swept back handlebars, skinnier tires, fenders and rear rack with battery. It also appears to have a slightly...
