When I'm not towing, I've been getting close to 50 electric miles on a single charge. ![]() But even then - I am still averaging about 30 miles including all the weight towing my dog trailer. The only time I have used the Turbo mode was on high winds, or cycling over steep hills, or going over freeway overpass. This is on either Level 1 or Level 2 assist mode. Last but not least, you are all probably asking - how's the battery life holding up so far? I've been averaging about 30-40 miles on a single charge. We've had heavy rain here in the San Francisco Bay Area recently - and the roads were pretty muddy, and the fenders were excellent in keeping the mud and dirt out of my jeans. Oh I also wanted to share, the Fenders are incredible. So far so good, no problem there and no rattling noise either. I have my small dog (20 lbs) attached on the left side, while on the right side, I have my panniers which weights about 10 lbs. The built-in rear rack I think is also a great benefit. I have not had any issues on having a sore butt. Also, the saddle I was surprised how comfortable it was. We've gone through many downhill grade, most of them were off pavement, and so far I have not tuned it up once. Moreover, the hydraulic disk brake is excellent. That gives me peace of mind with triple protection. I always have the ABUS and the ulock on as well. I have had two incidents where strangers attempted to take my bike and the alarm went off. Speaking off, I used the COBI about 60% of the time, usually when I'm out urban cycling and have to park my bike and activate the alarm. This is the new update that I received from COBI. I also like the fact that when I turn my bike on, the LED headlight and Rear light comes on automatically. ![]() The Rear signal light I was also very surprised, it lasted a long time about 6 hours in one single charge with the rear light being turned on most of the time (not flashing). I was able to see far probably, about 10 cars ahead. I've also cycled through dark - and the LED lights are fantastic. It cuts through like a knife, and I am getting about 20 mph with all that weight too! The bike also handles well in high winds especially in turbo mode. The motor have not let us down and we've been through many terrain including rain, mud, hot, cold and heavy winds. So far though, I have to share that I'm very impressed with the build quality. Count their weight, their trailer and my weight of 185lbs, my bike is tugging some hefty load. Keep in mind, my dog is about 125 lbs and my little one, he's about 20 lbs. Almost 90% of those miles, I was towing my dog trailer. So below are a few that I am considering (In $ ascending order).I've probably put in more than 1,500 miles in my 2017 IZip E3 Protour that came with the COBI tech since I got it about 9 months ago. The rack will be mounting on the hitch of a 2015 Ford Edge Limited AWD. The Protour is about 50lbs and the girlfriends mountain bike is like 35lbs or so. ![]() In my head, they just seem to be much more sturdy? I am looking for a rack that will carry two bikes. I have been looking at racks, and I am analyzing myself in circles! I don't have a ton of money to spend for a rack that will get used rarely.įor some reason, I am leaning heavily towards a tray style rack. So I am getting ready to go down the shore for vacation and want to bring it with me. Not to mention the bike is fast!!! Even though motor cuts out at 28mph, I regularly get it over 30mph! It just feels more powerful and reminds me of driving a car with a stick. I am so happy that I went with a mid-drive over hub as well. The bike has a very substantial feel compared to some of the others that I test rode. So a couple of months ago, after a ton of research, I bought the new Izip Protour ebike and absolutely love it! I really could not be happier with this bike! I have been riding it all over town, some days exercising for 30+ miles, and others commuting to work 5 miles each way.
