It’s a good looking ebike but one that also feels sturdy, I love that the tire tubes come with Slime installed to help resist flats and appreciate the front and rear quick release skewers that come in handy if you do have to perform maintenance or transport the bike. The electronic wires are also black but seamlessly pass through the downtube so you don’t notice them as much. While it only comes in one color scheme (metallic red with black accents) I noticed that the spokes, chain guard, saddle and grips all tied in. This is an electric bike that would do well in neighborhoods or around town, perhaps running short errands and loading food or school supplies. I spent a bunch of time riding in pedal assist level one because it’s the smoothest and slowest mode (topping out around 11 mph). ![]() This thing is easy to mount, relatively stable and at ~54 pounds it’s not super heavy considering the sturdy rear rack, oversized handle bars and comfort accessories.

You get a more powerful and more efficient mid drive motor and a larger battery capacity but the price has risen a bit to compensate. ![]() The suspension fork is gone but the bike weighs nearly 10 pounds less and has a more streamlined battery pack. The original IZIP E3 Vibe has been completely remodeled for 2016 and is now called the Vibe Plus. ![]()
