![]() ![]() This should increase the power of the motor by 50%. The next test will be with a lifePO4 36v 15ah battery pack. Test 5 - Hard peddling bent over for most aerodynamic position avg. Test 4 - Mild peddling bent over for most aerodynamic position avg. Test 3 - Mild peddling sitting upright avg. Test 2 - No peddling bent over for most aerodynamic position avg. Test 1 - No peddling sitting upright avg. The cateye speedometer was calibrated to the exact tire diameter. Tires were inflated to the maximum PSI as specified on the tire. Tested on a flat road with the outside temp at 75 degrees. The test rider was wearing normal cargo shorts and a tee shirt. This was the 6th time the battery pack was charged. The bike was tested with a full charge using the stock SLA 24v 10ah battery pack. See my review of the cateye speedometer here After you ride the bike charge the batteries right away.Īfter picking up a cateye micro wireless speedometer I took the bike out for another test drive. When going down hills don't use the motor. To save power peddle to 5 - 10 mph before using motor (Taking off from 0 mph all the time will suck up a lot of electricity) Check all bolts and make sure the front and rear brakes work. Start charging the batteries as soon as you get the bike. Buy a bike pump with built in gauge and inflate tires to maximum PSI. Buy a bike lock (These bikes get a lot of attention good and bad) You can also add a second battery which doubles the estimated 15 - 18 mile range to 30 - 36 miles. If you are looking to save money on gas or commute to work then I would definitely consider this bike. It actually cost less than a non motorized bike I was going to buy but is much more fun. Overall this was the least expensive bike I could find. Great bike for people looking to get some exercise or just want to cruise around town and never touch the peddles once. I love the bike and look forward to my next ride. That will be my next test to see what the actual speed is without peddling, with mild peddling, and with hard peddling. The top rated speed is 18mph but if you peddle and assist the motor you can probably get up to 25mph. The motor was pretty quite but it is noticeable when you fly past somebody walking down the street. However I did peddle a little hard when going up the steep hill because I was a little worried I would run out of power and be stuck 6 miles from home.Īs far as top speed I don't know for sure but it was definitely fast enough to make people turn around and look. When I say peddling I was not peddling hard at all and was just basically going through the motion of peddling. I did peddle most of the way up hill but didn't really peddle when going down hill. I was still able to make it back home at full speed until about 1/4 from my house the batteries started to die. 5 mile hill after already going 7.2 miles sucked some serious juice out of the batteries. 5 up a big hill, and then 6.7 down hill and. Over all I traveled 6.7 miles up a small incline hill. The hill was not steep at all but it was definitely not flat. The trip I planned was uphill half of the way which I didn't realize until I was already on my way. I took the bike for a 14.4 mile ride on my first trip. In all it should only take about 15 minutes to unpack and build. Make sure you inflate the tires to the maximum PSI allowed. The tires also needed to be fully inflated so make sure you get a bike pump preferably with a built in PSI gauge. The E-Zip mountain trailz electric bicycle came with all the tools I needed to build it and very detailed directions which I never used The bike is almost completely assembled you just need to install the handlebars, seat, front tire, and then check to make sure all bolts are tight. Just got an E-Zip trailz electric bicycle the other day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Review - 2008 E-Zip trailz electric mountain bicycle. ![]()
