![]() When in the pedelec mode, the power level is chosen on the display. My real issue here is found on the new Zuma and Twn:exp also. I’ve had her feed her cable lock through the seat handle and keep it tight enough where the saddle and battery can’t be lifted far enough to remove it. On the eFlow there is a place to add a small padlock on the holding latch, but I sure don’t see one on the Metro. One more thing that raised a concern is battery security. It is pretty easy to do and we may not transport her new commuter bike much, but I did take this into account. The front rack on the Metro is very strong and useful, but I found to load the bike on my rack (when carrying two bikes) it needed to be removed. There are some things about the control system that gave me pause (more on this before I’m done).Īs much as the IZIP E3 Metro has its own look, I am more taken by the appearance and color of the E3 Path+. I like the smoother riding tires, the Path+ has the skinner 700c ones, so this was one thing we are making a concession to. I like this center stand (that tucks to just one side when up), but it just doesn’t keep the bike up-right on all surfaces. The few reasons why are all basically minor ones, but seemed to be enough to make the call. My wife really loves riding it, but we did decide to stick with the Path+ as her next E-bike. I would think the rear rack could carry quite a bit too, so you can really haul the mail (so to speak).ĥ00 watts-plenty of gears-and strong stopping power are all visible from this angle. Because it is frame mounted (and easily removable too), it doesn’t affect your steering at all. We thought a couple bamboo fenders and a new Lazer helmet with a bamboo finish could really put the full wood look together. It also sports some bamboo for the base of each rack. The matte black is cool and it does have some aqua (green?) highlights here and there. The E3 Metro is a one-size and one color fits all bike. ![]() We had already decided on a low-frame IZIP E3 Path+, but during our recent visit to The IZIP Store in Santa Monica (a whole other story that you will learn about soon), we were offered this for her to try out. It still runs and works fine, but with all the advancements in recent E-bike years, I think she deserves to move to the present day with each ride. Her 6-7 year-old eZip has been begging for an up-grade. ![]() You may know that we have been trying to decide on a replacement commuter bike for my wife. Room for all your gear can be found on both ends of the E3 Metro.
