Prompt initial delivery by Amazon.com. Easy to assemble with tools SUPPLIED by manufacturer. All I did was clean & wax the components prior to assembly, then added high-temperature grease to the various assembly components & axle bearing (packed grease in edges by finger - best as possible).
The adjustments are very close to being perfect, and very rideable as-is.
I am very impressed with the smoothness and power of this Electric Bicycle! It's a very well made product.
There are two methods to drive this E-bike: (1) pedal assist (kind of a "turbo charge" assist to your manual pedaling - and there are SEVEN gears!), and (2) 100% Electronic Drive. Either way has its advantages: Pedal Assist gives you more top-end speed and greater range (giving the battery a break and probably pulling less load on the 450w DC motor), and 100% E-drive is just amazing.
It's interesting that Currie Technologies took the time to figure out "lock-out" for the front brake... so if you're planning on trying a "burn out" while holding the front brake (left finger pull), then think again, because Currie cleverly disabled the E-drive when the front brake level is pulled (there is an electric line feeding to/from the front brake)... not that I was thinking about doing a burn-out, mind you. ;-)
Cost-effect? Yes Solid bicycle, even usable without its E-drive and/or battery, but 10x the fun WITH the E-drive.
I purchased this bicycle as an experiment to determine if I wanted to convert an automobile to Electronic Drive... If my lasting impression about the possibilities are any where near my first impressions of this simple bicycle, I will do an automobile EV conversion.
Try this bike, you'll like it.
And remember, you can add an additional Battery Power supply (there are two slots - one on either side of the back rack), which operate one-at-a-time, providing more range (they're not wired in series, haha).
I highly recommend this bike, and when purchased from Amazon, I know I've bought with confidence.
In my instance, the original bike shipped with a cracked battery supply. ONE Email to Amazon.com fixed that problem, and within 4 days, I had a replacement sitting at my doorstep.
Very impressive customer support by Amazon. I have never been disappointed by anything I've bought from Amazon. They always stand by their products and make the decision to buy - easy!
Bravo, Amazon! Get more detail about EZIP MTN Trailz Electric Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels).
