Buying and electric bike in the East can be difficult unless you are fortunate enough to be situated near several LBS that carry e bikes. Buying sight unseen is made easier by videos like the ones Court posts and other info on the net, but nothing compares to riding the bikes and comparing...

Finally back on the Island and just took a 10 mile ride along the beach on hard pack sand at low tide. I realize the Dash is not ideal for this purpose, but it is what I have and where I live so I thought I would give it a try. Here are a few observations: 1. Soft sand is your enemy. Walked the...

I recently bought the Dash and while it is a great bike for the street, tires are too narrow and hard for the beach. Additionally I wonder how it would hold up with the salty residue that inevitably finds its way in every nook and cranny on the bike. I wonder if any out there have any actual...

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...

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...

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...

I pulled the trigger on a bike this morning after a month of driving many hours to dealers in Northern Florida to figure out the skinny on bikes. I wanted to deal local. My local dealer here on Amelia Island, Florida who is a Currie dealer. He stocks Izip bikes but the 2013 bikes didn't fit...

I have been riding a lot of bikes. I like the Pedego City Commuter, but it is just too tall for me. It appears that the new Currie Zuma while not a city bike, will be a good option for island travel. But I have come across the eFlow Nitro which changes only a little for 2014 in the 2013...

Court, I am 69, 5.7, and not a little guy. I currently ride an Electra Townie 3 Speed. I live on a barrier island in Northern Florida. Not a lot of electric bikes available here yet, but I have ridden the Izip Metro, Pedego Comfort Cruiser and the City Commuter which seems to be head and...
