Battery integrated lights from Fuxon in the front and rear are here as well. Its rated to support a nice 55lbs (22kg) and has standard gauge tubing.

Also included is a rear rack that may not be as fancy or streamlined as some of the expensive bikes but does have adjustability to go up and down as well as bungie loops. I like how they are flexible, and they won’t rust if you get them scratched or knocked. It might be a little tricky to get them straight but once you do, they won’t rattle much, due to the extra support struts. Included with the bike are these plastic fenders which are somewhat adjustable. At this price point, there will be some entry level components, but what I do love is all the included items they added, there is just a lot of value here and I want to make sure to cover it all. The high-step comes in medium (18”) and large (20”) sizes, while the step-through comes in small (16”) and medium (18”). At a starting price point of $1,699, the bike comes in 2 frame styles, a high-step in black only, and a step-through (looks like the high-step with a more slanted approach) in black or red. The E3 Brio is a commuter bike packed with features and value while maintain its affordability. IZIP has launched a bunch of all new bikes for 2019 and the E3 Brio is another one I got a chance to review. My goal is to be transparent and unbiased, this video and written review are not meant to be an endorsement of IZIP Electric Bike products. This review was sponsored by IZIP Electric Bikes. It’s not the most powerful bike out there but it works quite well if you’re willing to pedal along.To run the forums, host the website, and travel, I charge a universal service fee for my reviews. Overall, this is a fun, affordable electric bike produced by Currie Technologies (a long time leader in the space) that comes with a good warranty and looks great.

The swept-back handlebars keep rider head position elevated which is great for spotting cars and relieving shoulders. This is less of an issue at lower speeds but worth considering for sensitive riders. There are no shocks or extra air in the tires helping to absorb the bumps. While it does look like a classic cruising bike it also rides a bit like one in that it’s stiff and unforgiving over cracks. The beautiful fenders, painted rims, chain guard and tires make this bike a real beauty. The smaller 24 volt 10 amp hour battery echos these same characteristics light but less powerful.īoth the battery and motor on this bike are positioned at the rear so the bike is back-heavy which makes lifting it a bit awkward but this layout is standard on many ebikes and has the benefit of applying force to the strongest points of the frame and keeping wires shorter and easier to manage. This is the standard size of electric bike motor in many European countries and it does mean that as a rider you’ll be required to pedal more, but the upside is that it weighs less. While the hub motor on this bike is only a 250 watt, it still moves the bike considerably well. It’s easy and comfortable to pedal, doesn’t weigh a whole lot (especially compared with electric bikes in the same price range) and offers several high quality extras that improve the aesthetic and function of the bike as a city or neighborhood rider. It offers something unique in a the world of ebikes where larger motors and big beefy tires get a lot of attention. The IZIP E3 Path is a hidden treasure in my opinion. You can see the updated E3 Path+ review here or continue reading for info on the old model which may be found used or on sale at local electric bike shops. In 2014 the motor, battery pack and control system was updated to offer more power and provide a smoother ride. This review is for the first generation of IZIP E3 Path electric bikes.
