I am very pleased with this Product. This is the Third one I purchased. 1st a mens bike, I paid $100. extra in delivery from Norther Tool. Then another Mens- whent to Northern Store & Purchased to be deliverd to thier store/ saved on delivery charge. But the Best Deal was the womens Curry on Amazon.com they charged No tax and No Delivery, just a strait $389.
All the bikes work Fine. I read a few bad reviews. It appears some people have tried to unscrew the fromt break to adjust it enough to put the front tire on. Not Necessary! Just pull the whole break harnest out of its slot and back in after placing tire on. Also some in reviews could'nt get them started and sent them back. Try the on and off switch for left or right optional battery located underneith back rack.
We had one Nut come off on the Womens Pedel Arm, no problem, just tighten it back on. I dont like the fact that the Extra Battery can only be purchased through Curry at more than $140. tax/delivery. I found the same sealed batteries at a local battery store for $39. each and I'm going to replicate their harnesting shell out of wood/ luan & 1x3's routerd. Overall Very Pleased. They Ride Sweet. Peddle only on hills, they will last farther distance. God Bless, Michael Siemer, Chatt. TN

I have had this Bike for one month now and it has made my life a lot easier......It is easy to use, fun and in my opinion very well made. I am a Quality Engineer by trade and quality is measured by what the customer values/wants.... Not cost or name.....This bike does what I want it to do....Point A to point B...at minimal cost. You can spend $2,000 for an electric bike....But Why? I had one problem....It came missing a box with pedaqls and some other small parts.......The maker Currie would not help me.....However, AMAZON was very fast in getting me a replacement Bike and now all is fine.....Can't beat the price and you can chose how much effort you want to put into the ride.
Great Deal June 27, 2009

Bought this bike in December of 2008 when it was on sale for $225. I have been riding it daily for about six months now (over 500 miles so far), and am very happy with the bike.
It is heavy and not as advanced as some other electric bikes, but for the price it can't be beat. I use just the motor power, with little or no peddling. I weigh 200 lbs and it carries me at about 18 mph on level ground with no peddling. Checked it with a police speed radar.
The main drawback is the SLA battery. They are heavy, have a limited life and develop a memory, but since I rarely travel more than 5 miles at a time with mine, it has done just great so far. I plan on switching to a lithium-ion battery at some point, which are light and have a very long life with no memory. Then my E-zip will be just about as good as any of those expensive electric bikes for about 1/4 the price.
If you are looking for an entry level electric bike for short trips, you will find this bike a great deal.

I bought this exact model here at amazon on december 10 2008. free of tax or shipping. it arrived instantly! it is a heavy box so fed ex kept it at the depot. I picked it up there and was delighted. Flawless and easy to assemble.
tools are provided, just allens. In the months since I did find that the 24 volt pack is of a low grade ..I added two sets of 24 volt 9 amp APC type SLA's wighing 5 lbs each which lightened the weight to distance ratio.. I can switch from right to left bank of batteries with the provided switch. It will pop a wheelie when fresh, I take it up steep hills no problem,"but remember" that this is the latestet model, and can not be altered! it will not run on 36 volts! it will heat up when stressed, but never "over heat" it is protected from that internally. I called Currie and got a new charger, a extra controller etc for the shipping costs. never needed them, it is fine. I added a good solid basket and I rewired the batterys to sit on the rack. the standard battery case is an odd size and I got rid of it. I can get 20 miles with the twin packs of batterys. and carry 50 lbs of food on my basket. remember weight to distance is a factor, so the lighter the load the farther you go. I give it five stars because it was cheap and good and has a USA website if you have a question.. the new design curries cost thousands of dollars and use this ame system but you do not get a throttle you must pedal first to make the motor work. I prefer throttle and hardly ever pedal because I dont need to LOL (also) call the currie home office for good deals as well on new bikes at cost.
