This is less of an issue at lower speeds but worth considering for sensitive riders. There are no shocks or extra air in the tires helping to absorb the bumps. While it does look like a classic cruising bike it also rides a bit like one in that it’s stiff and unforgiving over cracks. The beautiful fenders, painted rims, chain guard and tires make this bike a real beauty. The smaller 24 volt 10 amp hour battery echos these same characteristics light but less powerful.īoth the battery and motor on this bike are positioned at the rear so the bike is back-heavy which makes lifting it a bit awkward but this layout is standard on many ebikes and has the benefit of applying force to the strongest points of the frame and keeping wires shorter and easier to manage. This is the standard size of electric bike motor in many European countries and it does mean that as a rider you’ll be required to pedal more, but the upside is that it weighs less. While the hub motor on this bike is only a 250 watt, it still moves the bike considerably well. It’s easy and comfortable to pedal, doesn’t weigh a whole lot (especially compared with electric bikes in the same price range) and offers several high quality extras that improve the aesthetic and function of the bike as a city or neighborhood rider. It offers something unique in a the world of ebikes where larger motors and big beefy tires get a lot of attention. The IZIP E3 Path is a hidden treasure in my opinion.
