2017 izip e3 dash review12/7/2023 ![]() Overall this bike is terrific and is highly recommended by us and by those that already own it. The battery takes 4-6 hours to fully recharge and you can usually get 25-30 miles on a single charge while at the middle pedal assist setting (level 3). The step-through design makes it easy to get on and off this bike and the pedal assist settings are simple, effective and really do make riding a breeze. The E3 Dash has dual Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for effective, controlled stopping power. The motor has utilizes 350 watts of power assisting you up to a 28mph and 73 NM or torque for getting you uphill's and around town fast. There's no need to think twice before heading out the door, because this eBike delivers everything you need to commute to the office or dash around, in style.ģ50W Currie Electro-Drive/TranzX mid-motor system utilizes a modern CANbus system which is similar to ones being used on today’s car. But as much as speed, this electric bike is about convenience and sporty function, coming complete with fenders, rack and kickstand. The handlebar mounted control lets you regulate the amount of assist you want, allowing you to cruise up to an exhilarating 28 mph. This is particularly true of the older PW drive system, which still equips most SDUROs.The E3 Dash from IZIP gives you a 350 watt Currie Electro-Drive/TranzX mid-motor drive system for that extra pedal power to get up that next hill or haul some extra gear. 2017 IZIP E3 ProTour Review 2017 IZIP E3 Dash Review IZIP Commuting Electric Bike Reviews. ![]() So, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't buy a Yamaha powered bike. The most recent version of the IZIP E3 Path+ came out in 2016 and features a mid-drive motor from Shimano STePs instead of a gearless direct drive hub. ![]() This is because the projected beam is too narrow and the lights not powerful enough. When riding in the forest at night I can't see the contours of the road ahead. ![]() I have a Trekking Sduro S 6.0 which has a 60 lux light. Although not directly Yamaha's fault, the lighting on many Trekking Sduros is not sufficient for riding in the countryside at night. The diagnostic button on the battery sometimes doesn't work.ģ. The button to power on the bike is starting to fail. The bike’s remote is designed in such a manner that you have to take your right hand off the handlebars in order to switch to another level of assist. Press on the RUN button and the remote simply swivels out of your hand. This means that it’s nearly impossible to walk the bike up a hill using RUN mode. The result is that it’s impossible to tighten them so that the remote doesn’t swivel around the handlebars. The remote is fastened by screws which “bite” into the plastic casing. The engineering on some of the parts isn't up to Yamaha standards. You'll get just as much power and won't constantly be changing gears.Ģ. Start in 1st gear and shift into second or third gear, then increase the number of RPMs instead of shifting through all the gears. Now, with some basic soldering, we've found we can offer one of our own 48V 17.5Ah Sea Lion batteries or Shark 2 Battery as a compatible replacement This effectively doubles the capacity of the original. Other drives, like the Bosch or the Shimano have a more intelligent way of dealing with this. Previously, if you wanted an upgrade, we could only rebuild it to 48V 10.5Ah (improving it from 8.7Ah) due to the size of the case. But as soon as I reach cruising speed, I have to shift down several times as well. After the first red light goes green, I need to shift up 6 times to reach cruising speed. Think of a scenario where you have several consecutive red lights. Because the cadence is limited, the bike requires an inordinate number of gear shifts in traffic. Might explain why my knees ache sometimes. I hand't noticed this until someone remarked that I was climbing in a really high gear. I climb a 7% grade incline every day and the bike is in 8th or 9th gear (meaning, 2-3 gears away from 11 teeth). But it also means that climbing will be more difficult on the knees (once again). This means you'll need to shift up a gear or two to get power. If you're spinning away in 1st gear you will quickly hit a cadence where power drops off. If you want to climb a hill, the lowest gears might not necessarily be the best gears. The Bosch and Shimano ECO modes are infinitely easier on the knees. I use ECO mode only when absolutely needed. If you want to tour around in a hilly area, you need to be really fit with the Yamaha. This is perceptible in Standard mode, and painfully perceptible in ECO and ECO+ modes. The drive has a tendency to resist your efforts above a certain RPM level, and the cadence window in which it provides power is pretty limited.
