that's how an electric bike suppose to look like... clean, no wires, controllers and some ugly battery case and the most important of all is durability. i don't think hub motors with those cheap grip throttle with key switch will last in the streets of NY and other city's with a lot of patch holes. tried it and it broke within 3 weeks of use and observed and researched on those tough chinese ebikes use in chinese restaurant, bike last only for a year and usually motor is replaced. in my own opinion bafang bbs02 is the best ebike kit solution. i have one myself with 185 miles and i think it will last...the motor is only warm when you touch it within a 25 mile of non-stop run.

Here is pics of my second ebike it is a Merida TEV 500/550 the controller was shot when I got it and the battery pack and charger where missing I rewired it to take a standard 24v 250watt controller and brake levers that would cut power to the motor I also installed a twist throttle no more pedal assist witch is what I needed it for but still a great little bike very light weight witch I like.

My E-Spirit bike:
![](https://bikeforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=462734)
I've got it on E-bay for $550, and put my big basket on it...
![](https://bikeforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=462735)
Cut it in the middle and mount on bike:

...with some protection to the frame:

So, now I can go with my Cinema Equipment anywhere in New York City!!!

and I like it more, that my previous, full size bike, because it's easy to go in Subway and I can even get into a bus or a car trunk, if necessary, because I can fold it!

At 84 my balance isn't what it was so I'm pretty well restricted to a trike. I presently ride a Worksman fold a trike and am quite happy with it. The folding feature allows me to load it on the San Diego trolley, which extends my range by a lot of miles. I live on Otay Mesa in San Diego so that means whichever way I go I'm facing some pretty steep hills. It goes up and down those hills like a jackrabbit. I was a bit worried the folding joint might be a weak spot but I've put a lot of miles on it and it doesn't show any problems. I like dealing with an American company and they don't get more American than Brooklyn.

The best thing about this folding e-bike is it's 48v 10a battery that gives me 35 to 40 miles per charge without pedaling (more than advertised), about 50 miles in level 2 assist mode. Only goes about 17 mph (less than advertised) but that's enough for an old man like myself. Picked it up locally for $650, about $30 more than the cost of a replacement battery.
It rides very smoothly on a nicely paved road but the small tires don't take bumps well so I don't take it on any trails. Looking for a 26 inch mountain bike with a more powerful motor so I can explore the woods like I used to before my knees went bad.

With a 12Ah 14S Li-Ion battery pack, I'm getting 20miles of serious fun and at only 7lbs the drive unit doesn't affect handling or the ability to pedal and ride this as a bicycle![Smilie](https://www.bikeforums.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)

My e-bike.
It is simple, affordable, lightweight but is stylish as well. It is a fixie-style electric bike with colorful deep rims. It has a removable battery pack with top speed of 19 MPH. Just like a Tesla car, it has Lithium-ion battery cells which last 15-30 miles before it needs to be recharged. The weight of the bike is under 35 lbs. which is significantly less than the other e-bikes in the market.
Got it at PropellaBikes.com.

New bike!
I only got to ride maybe 6 miles so far today. The other Ebike I rode was a 2015 Specialized Turbo https://www.specialized.com/us/en/bik...ic/turbo/turbo . The Spec was a lot different feeling, the " kick" was so gradual that I really had to ride the same hill over and over again to feel a boost. The assist took too long or too gradual for me. So I gave it back to the dealer and asked to try this IZIP one, never heard of the brand before and was skeptical.
Until I rode it that is, the boost is almost like a mini turbo. It has a throttle. Crank it and you will feel it, much more playful and speedy in than the other bike. I can tackle hills without getting out of the seat now and can wear normal go to work clothes without sweating now. Not that I am going to do that, this is just another toy to me. The highest speed is suppose to be 28mph, I got as high as 23, 24mph on flats with full assist. I think this bike will get at best 20 miles with how I like to twist the throttle. The bars setup is too high right now, I think I will have to flip the stem upside down. The frame is very stiff, even with 45mm tires you can feel more of the road than on my steel bike.
I think this is keeper for me!https://www.currietech.com/izip-elect...ip-e3-dash-d-5

That's a clean, yet aggressive looking setup. Source for the motor? Nevermind - i've figured it out. Just follow the name!
