![]() ![]() I appreciate the included fenders, rear rack and integrated LED lights from Spanninga! This e-bike is ready to go right out of the box and all of the parts match. The speed range of the motor itself is somewhat limited but it’s very powerful which is great for climbing and it’s fairly quiet. To truly reach ~28 mph on this electric bicycle you do have to pedal along and use one of the higher gears. This plastic ring has three buttons… one to enable boost, one to slowly and smoothly reach ~6 mph and another unlabeled button offering full power up to ~20 mph if you’re using one of the higher gears. While this is a speed-pedelec Class 3 with only pedal assist by default, you can spend $50 extra for a boost button to be mounted near one of the ergonomic grips. The 10 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain is solid mid-level and should hold up well if cared for. It’s a more basic motor that does not detect shifting and therefor may strain the chain, sprockets and derailleur more if you try to shift while pedaling hard and using a high level of assist. I found the motor to respond mostly to cadence, to run quietly and to be slightly delayed… both starting and stopping. You get thru-axles for improved stiffness (12 mm rear and 15 mm front) and hydraulic Shimano disc brakes with a larger 180 mm rotor up front for quick stops. This improves balance and frame stiffness while making quick-release on both wheels possible (and easier). If there are offers lower than those then look away, otherwise, proceed with caution, at you own risk.The 2016 IZIP E3 Dash features a high torque mid-drive motor while the previous two iterations used gearless direct drive hub motors. ![]() Price range can vary from a low 56 cents per wh (EM3EV) to as high as $2.13 per wh (Stromer 938 wh battery). It has sophisticated battery management system (BMS) that assures long life. That's a pretty expensive battery but Bosch battery is also known for it's reliability that can last 5,000 charges. So a 500 wh Bosch battery that sells at $749 amounts to about $1.50 per wh. How do you know which one has the better value?Īlways check the price against the capacity. This can be confusing since price can vary widely, as well as the battery capacity. If you can inquire what cells are used, the better, as opposed to getting off brand generic cells with inconsistent performance. It has to be a reputable source, or at least sold in the same country where you can go back to the seller if something goes wrong or if you got a defective product. That seems high to me considering it’s only 10Ah.įor me there are 3 things to consider when buying a battery.įirst is the source. There’s the PRE option of a re-cell for $520 before shipping. I'd like to hear your opinions as well as suggestions. That seems high to me considering it’s only 10Ah.Įbay, Amazon,, and Aliexpress all seem to have 48v options with a minimum of 10Ah. There’s the EMP option of a re-cell for $520 before shipping. I'm currently not a fan of an OEM replacement at over $600 for such low Ah's. It seems they are out of stock on the carbon shark and other 48v battery packs? My only option through them seems to be the Dolphin. I would like to know what my current options are? After combing the forum for this info, I read all about the Luna Shark replacements. It has finally stopped taking any charge at all. I started to notice the battery would feel warm to the touch until it was down to 2 bars. It would completely discharged from full in about 3 days without using the bike. Riding the bike worked very well with plenty of juice left on the battery but it would lose charge quite fast when sitting. Up until about a month ago, the battery would fully charge to 5 bars. It worked great and between my two bikes, have basically replaced my car. I recently bought a used 2015 Izip E3 Dash for what I thought was a decent price. ![]()
