I have test driven many bikes and by far the Brose motor used in Specialized (and in my iZip Moda) is the best center drive e-bike system out there. I have 1500 miles on my bike and it is great. I asked on the Brose forum and got some responses. I think that I will ask the question on the...

Hi, I have almost 6000 miles on e-bikes since I got my first one in November of 2016 (I don't ride in Winter as I live in Wisconsin), so almost 2000 miles per year. I LOVE my e-bikes. I would definitely recommend test driving as many as you can before you buy one as there is a ton of...

Hi, Sorry to hear that someone stole your Vado. I will be very sad if either of my e-bikes get stolen. I only use a cable lock on them both, but try to park it in very visible places where thieves would have to be gutsy. Thank you also for your input. It sounds like my co-workers problem...

I rented a Specialized Turbo Como in Colorado and went biking all day around Colorado Springs including Garden of the Gods. Just awesome, I went 45 miles and 2600 feet of elevation change. Just loved the bike and it also seemed like it solved the hard shift problem that you have to be careful...

I bought an iZip Moda (same as Raleigh Redux). I love it and have 1200 miles on it. I just hope it is reliable and lasts long as I love it and think the Brose system is the best (most natural feeling) mid drive system out there (also quietest). I am concerned because a friend has an iZip moda...

Hi, I have 1200+ miles on my iZip Moda that I bought in November of 2018. I love it so far, but a friend had a failure with his iZip Moda at 900 miles. He thinks the belt is slipping (it only works in low power mode and if he doesn't put a lot of torque in the pedals any more and you hear...

What kind of bike is it?

That sounds a lot why I have 2 e-bikes. My Diamondback Lindau fits the description of your Magnum Metro in that it is rear hub drive with cadence only sensor. It is the best bike for commuting on a hot humid day because it does its thing and I spin at a high rate and choose the gear to...

So inquiring minds must ask. What were e-bikes 1-4 and what are 5 and 6 and why?

I have 4000 miles on a Diamondback Lindau e-bike and I love it and it works as well as the day I bought it. I then bought an iZip Moda last year and have 1000 miles on it. I love it more and would highly recommend it. The Lindau works great as a commuter bike and biking by myself. However...

Hi, I bought the Topeak trunk bag with integrated panniers on the sides. I also got the Topeak rack and installed it over the top of the existing rack. I did not remove the built in rack, and the new rack fits over top and provides a wide stable platform for trunk bags. The one thing that...

By the way. I never run the battery all the way down and tend to recharge it when it gets to about 20% left. From what I have learned from experts you should never run the battery down and use the last 20% and you should not leave the bike for extended times at the fully charged 100% level...

Hi, I have about 4500 miles on my Diamondback Lindau 500 watt rear hub motor e-bike with a 422 watt hour battery. I only weigh around 140 pounds and I ride it 12 miles a day to/from my work. The route has 500 feet of elevation over the there and back. If I am content with going on lowest...

Hi, I have an iZip Moda e3. The one with the Brose drive, not the 2019 model where they now use Bosch. I have test driven literally dozens of different makes/models of e-bikes and I HIGHLY recommend the Brose. It is the quietest, most natural feeling drive system I have encountered. I...

I have 3600 miles on my Diamondback Lindau. I really like it a lot and have only replaced 2 tubes and the chain and rear cassette (because I wanted different gear ratios). Still works like it did when it was new. Goes about 50 miles on a charge on lowest assist. I also purchased an iZip Moda...

Hi Carter, Thanks for the update. I will let you know when I have more miles on mine too. I think I may alternate between my old Lindau e-bike and the new iZip Moda for commuting to work. The Lindau is better for going to work, but the Moda is WAY better for going on bike rides with...

Hi, I was wondering if you could give an updated review of your Raleigh Redux? I just bought an iZip Moda (same bike I believe) the old one with the Brose motor. I only have 100 miles on it because I bought it on a black friday sale after Thanksgiving and we had a crappy winter here in...

I bought a Diamondback Lindau in November of 2017. I have put over 3500 miles on it since then and I just love it. The battery works just as well as when it was new. I get between 40-50 miles of range on it when on assist level 1. I think that I get good range out of it because I only weigh...

Hi, The step over height is 31 inches.
