I can get one for $375. I have not owned an electric bike, but do own an Izip, my lifepo4 batts when out on it, just fired it up for the first time in a year. And am now looking at getting something new. Does anyone have a link to that "trailer" you hook up to your bike that has an electric hub with a wheel, and a basket. I can describe better if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Just wondering why you say you've not owned an ebike when you say you have an IZip. After all an IZip is certainly an ebike.

While the price of $375 for a $1500 list price bike is a good deal. But personally I would never buy a bike that is assist (motor) only. Not to mention the motor on that bike is smaller then on your Izip but it maybe a brushless motor that make some people give it a better rating. I guess it all depends on what your after but you could do a lot of improvement on th eIZip for $375.

You can build a 24V 20AH Thundersky LIFEPO4 pack that will slide into the rear rack of your Izip for slightly under $300 for everything--the cells, building material (Starboard marine plastic), wiring and a CellLog 8 (to monitor charging and discharging). Best of all you can get the Thundersky cells from a US distributor and not have to worry about high overseas shipping costs if you have a warranty issue develop. I bought my cells from Elite Power Solutions in Arizona. Ping stands behind his battery, but shipping to and from China is almost prohibitive these days. I built my first LIFEPO4 pack this spring and will be building my second pack later this month. (I have the Currie conversion kit installed on my 21-speed mountain bike and love it.)
