Amazon.com Product Description
Bicycles are a terrific mode of transportation, but sometimes you just need a little extra push while getting around town. Enter the iZip Trailz men's electric comfort bike, which is equipped with a 450-watt DC earth magnet motor and a 24-volt rechargeable battery. Far cleaner than gas-powered scooters but zippier than a traditional bike, the Trailz will get you from point A to B in no time at all, but won't guzzle gas or belch pollutants in the process. The battery offers a range of 15 to 22 miles per charge, so you can make it back and forth to the grocery store several times without running low on power. And once you're on the road, the Trailz boasts a top speed of 15 miles per hour (contingent on the rider weight)--plenty fast enough for most bike-friendly city streets. Is your work commute too far to walk but close enough that a car seems wasteful? Turn to the Trailz, which comes with a rear rack to carry groceries and other gear. The Trailz is powered by both the electric motor and good old-fashioned foot power, with an easy-to-use twist throttle helping propel you forward. The bike is also extremely comfortable thanks to the comfort saddle. Other features include Shimano seven-speed gearing, a high-rise handlebar and adjustable rise stem with Kraton grips, Currie E-Ride 26-by-2-inch street comfort tires, an easy-access charging port, and resin/rubber nonslip pedals. Designed for both young adults and fully grown adults, the Trailz weighs 76 pounds and offers a weight capacity of 240 pounds. Specifications:

 Don't bother-it's a heavy bike to ship properly December 30, 2008
R. White (erie,pa)
Arrived damaged and broken-box open and squashed but then when you have a 80+ item packed in styrofoam and cardboard with warning to use 2 people to lift and not set on ends. Our was pulled out of the delivery truck landing on its end, box smashed and opened. You could see it damaged inside box as styrofam had broken up.
Dissapointed as it was to of been a xmas present not a strewn out box broken up out of the delivery truck. Will not buy again as delivery method needs to be changed on this item.Waste of my time engery and money.
 5 star for first 3 days, then it quit working altogether?? Amazon did ship new bike no questions asked but will it die too??? December 30, 2008

So I got the bike, put it together enjoyed it for 3 days. The weather got really bad here (Seattle) Snow, Ice, Sleet, must have been too much for it. It never fell over or crashed, just the electronics completely stopped working. Amazon did offer to ship me a new bike immediately and pickup the old one UPS and pay all shipping. They were very helpful..However I'm wondering if the new one will break like a toy also. I ride my bike 7.5 miles each way to work and it worked great on pedal assist and it was AWESOME!!! Shortened my ride from 55 mins to 24 mins...plus it was a piece of cake. But will it be able to work on a daily basis??? I'm worried. Gonna give it a try again. SR
mixed feelings, but a fun machine December 29, 2008

Got the bike. Box was hammered, had major tears/holes in it. After removing everything, the pedals and steering stem were nowhere to be found. Called currie technologies. Wanted to charge me for shipping/handling. I complained. We settled on a $2.50 handling charge only. Customer service rep was nothing but kind and understanding. Hey, I just wanted to ride. And really, I should have called amazon, but a return, audit, re-order would have been way to time consuming, and possibly more costly. So, a week later, my parts arrive, even though in a one day shipping zone away. PUt the rest of the parts on, and the front wheel is so out of true, I can't use the front brake, and have to disconnect it from rubbing so much. Called the bike shop, they want $20-25 to true the wheel. I get out my wrench and use my former motorcycle mechanic skills and true it up in 15 minutes. All is now well. Off to test drive it.
Well, I suppose I was expecting more power, I could've sworn the one I test drove at bicycle warehouse was a tad peppier, but anyway, close enough. Bike works, but makes some noise pedaling in most gears. I get out the instruction manual and adjust the derailuer. Works fine now. The bike weighs just over 50 lbs without the battery, ans 65lbs with it. I'd like to see a lower gear for hill climbing, but with the battery assist, I guess it's ok. There's a 12 degree incline hill about a mile from my house. I'm 34, 150 lbs, but out of shape on a bicycle. I was able to get up the hill no prob at about 5-7mph. Normally, I;d be in the granny gear going 1-2mph on a normal bike, and still run out of steam by the top. I have much more stamina on this bike thanks to the battery assist. You will need to pedal up any hill with more than a 6% incline or more really. But, this bike is awesome for the price. I paid $323.00 shipped, and noticed they are now down to $299.00. Quite a steal. And when the battery finally konks out, maybe I'll be in good enough shape to ride without it anyway. But I doubt it, this bike has spoiled me.
5 mile round trip with hills, the battery is ok. 10-15mi trip has the battery fading before the final big 12 degree hill. Though about purchasing 2nd battery, but this bike is so heavy as is, don't need another 15 lbs added to it.
I recommend this bike. It's worth $299.00 for sure!
Super for cost December 11, 2008

Great Deal for the price. The same bike at Walmart was $350.00. Comes with very few parts to put on, basically, the front wheel, handle bar.
Now we have to get a lock.
great bike December 2, 2008

Bike came with bent front rim. They replaced it. Be sure to place battery on left side to keep weight on kickstand when parked. Otherwise bike will fallover very easily. I've had this bike 2 months, ride it almost every day. Keep tire pressure up,battery charged right after use and bike oiled. Enjoy this bike and have fun like i do.
