Synopsis
Bicycles are a terrific mode of transportation, but sometimes you just need a little extra push while getting around town. Enter the eZip 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.

Designed for any use from commuting to recreational riding, the eZip Trailz Electric Bike offers a fun way to get around town with a user-selectable mix of battery and pedal power. Featuring a powerful Currie Electro-Drive system with a 450-watt motor, the eZip Trailz can power up hills and travel at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour on its sealed lead acid (SLA) battery pack. The battery has a range of 15 to 22 miles, depending on how much you use it, and the battery pack can be removed easily for charging or swapping. You can double that range by adding an optional second battery pack (sold separately). Built for comfort, the eZip features a unisex comfort frame with suspension forks to smooth the bumps in the road.p table align="right" cellpadding="10" width="400" tbody tr tdimg align="top" border="0" height="291" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/detail-pages/B004QHG17O.jpg" width="400" /br /br /smallemstrongThe eZip Trailz bike features a 450-watt DC Brushed Earth Magnet Motor and a seven-speed, pedal powered drivetrain./strong/em/small/td /tr /tbody /table bPower Features and Specifications:/bul liUser selectable PAS/TAG (Twist and Go--or--Pedal Assist) System liController: exclusive Currie Electro-Drive 24-Volt Fully Potted with Power Gauge Function liMotor: 450-watt DC Brushed Earth Magnet Motor liBattery: EV rated SLA type, rear rack mounted, 24V/10Ah pack, (2) 12V/10Ah valve regulated, rechargeable liCharge System: UL listed Currie Smart Charger with LED status display liTop Speed: 15 miles per hour/24 kilometers per hour (rider weight, rider input, and terrain contingent) liRange: up to 15 to 22 miles/24 to 35 kilometers with normal pedaling (rider weight, rider input, and terrain contingent).
