    Currie Zuma E3 (2012 Cantilever)

    I sold my Zuma today. All told, I put 4961 miles on it and carried many loads of groceries and more than a few 20lb sacks of wild bird food! The bike was still in great shape and the new owner was fully apprised of the battery condition and felt it met his needs; as well, my asking price was...

    Best mirror type?

    I like the Mirrycle Mountain Bike Mirror. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I have one on my mountain bike, and one on my e-bike.

    16" Rad City too small, 19" too big?

    Yesterday I test rode the Rad City 16" and 19" bikes, both equipped with the Suntour NCX seatpost. The folks at the Rad City store in Seattle were very helpful! I rode the 19" frame first and it is a very good fit for me while riding. Standing is another thing: I really could use about 1/2"...

    Prodeco Battery Rebuilder

    Hi @Ann M. Perhaps a more apt comparison would be the Toyota Prius. It was introduced in 2003 and Toyota can still provide battery replacements. That said, I have several friends with an early model year Prius, and all their batteries are still working just fine, and my friends are quite happy...

    Prodeco Battery Rebuilder

    It's was so easy to say that, wasn't it? But it sounds like you haven't been on the e-bike scene for very long. Because the reality is, there are no "OEM" batteries for a lot of not-so-old bikes. For instance, Currie does not have any OEM replacement batteries for my 2012 iZip E3 Zuma. And my...

    Pedego disservice to the ebike community?

    I think it's mean-spirited to make this remark.

    Battery Life

    I have a 2012 Zuma E3 with about 4900 miles on it, still running the original battery (36V). I've long lost count of the number of charges but no question it's in the hundreds. If I stay off the throttle I can still get a 20 mile ride out of it. Just did it a few days ago. The bike cost me $2100...

    Currie Zuma E3 (2012 Cantilever)

    I'm up to 4700 miles on my Zuma. I can now change brake pads like a pro. :D No new mechanical failures. Ok wait the saddle broke because I pick up the rear of the bike with it. I got a Serfas E-Gel Cruiser Saddle as a replacement and it is really nice! The Kenda Kiniption tires are still hanging...
