You can see this thing in action on the eZip Trailz. On to the motors! Kit 1 offers a 450 watt chain drive motor that is kind of a wildcard in the world of ebikes. Long story short, think about the weight and how your bike will respond. Adding 20 to 30 pounds to any bike will change its handling and because these kits all put the battery on the back, a front shock may not do as much to smooth it out as you’d think and a rear shock may get overloaded with the increased weight and not perform as expected. Also, many electric bikes don’t have shocks which helps to keep their cost low and make them stiff and durable under the increased load of batteries, controllers and motors. This is because they go fast and can cause a lot of vibration for the rider.
You’ll notice that most ebikes have larger balloon tires and wider sprung seats. Whichever bike you’ve go I recommend considering the saddle and tires carefully because they can do a lot to smooth out the ride. Make sure your bike has eyelets to accept a rack before ordering one of these kits! The pictures here show an Electra Townie which works very well and even served as the inspiration for Pedego’s Classic Cruiser and Electra’s own Townie Go. You get a bolt-on rack that mounts like any other rack to the rear end of your bike. While each kit looks a little different, they all follow a layout.

Now that you’ve got some idea of how to sort these kits out and determine which one might be best for your budget and ride, let’s talk about some of the features. You can check the specs above for the exact details but think of it like this: kit 1 and 4 have heavy Lead acid batteries, kit 2 has a nicer Lithium-ion battery that will endure more than twice as many charge cycles before wearing out and kit 3 is the top of the line with a larger Lithium-ion battery and a larger 500 watt motor! This kit actually resembles the IZIP E3 Zuma which is one of my favorite ebikes around. So what’s the difference between the four kits? Somewhat confusingly, they go from 1 to 4 but the fourth kit would make more sense being called 1.5 because it uses the same basic sealed Lead acid SLA battery as kit 1 but introduces a nicer hub motor instead of a chain drive motor which is louder and less efficient. Considering the variety offered by these kits, they can be a great product for those who already have a bike they love and are just looking for a little boost but they aren’t perfect. If you mount one of these on your bike you will only be able to use a thumb throttle to activate the system. Overall they are effective, durable and proven but somewhat limited by comparison to fully assembled kits because they lack pedal assist (PAS) modes. These kits consist of the same motors, batteries and controllers that power the fully assembled eZip and IZIP electric bike lines made by Currie Technologies. You may notice they go by several names: Currie Electro-Drive bike kits 1-4 and also Currie Conversion Kit 2700, 37 (just think of those last three as Kit 2, 3 and 4 respectively). Amazon has an exceptional customer service and always do their utmost to ensure total customer satisfaction.The Currie Electro-Drive bike kits can be a little confusing at first. A few comments on the battery not holding it’s charging, but that is typical for almost all scooters, you’re always going to get the odd bad one. Having done a lot of research on the Ezip 500 Electric Scooter, most people think it’s pretty good value. I would certainly buy another and another. Sometimes this is an inconvenience, but it is still a great scooter. I have noticed that it shuts off sometimes when going over speed bumps or something for reasons unknown to me, but I just turn the switch off and back on again and it takes right off. I does have a little trouble getting up the mountain, but I can coast down and save the battery. It seems strong and sturdy and runs great. This is a great scooter for getting around the campus and down to the store and back.
This is a fantastic toy for all to enjoy.
We have not run out of battery time at all. The kids ride them every day and just throw them on the charge when they’re done so they’re always ready. They are made very durable and there’s not one thing I can complain about. They Both love their scooters and my husband and I have fun riding them around as well! The charge is just fine and the speed is perfect. This was purchased by my 9 year old daughter with her savings after her 11 year old brother received one for his birthday. Actually this is my second one of this kind. Here is a selection of eZip 500 reviews that we’ve tracked down on Amazon.
