Good morning from HOOVER ALABAMA. From a newbie aupaul. A couple months ago I finally decided I had to try this e-bike thing. I have been checking them out for several years. I bought a slightly used 2017 Izip e3 vibe. And yes I love it. 30+ years ago I moved to this location. On top of a hill. I had a 21 speed bike. But never rode down my hill on it. Didn't want to push it back up. Well I was truly thinking this bike would get me off the sofa. And back into some kind of SHAPE. I HAVE BEEN RIDING IN A hilly neighborhood 9+ miles almost daily. I Feel great. I took it on long trip behind my MOTOR Home on a KUAT. Now I have an issue. Will post in the Izip forum. But I know I will love this bike although it is step THRU and I will soon convince the wife to join me. So I will be in market for a new one.
