iZip E3 Metro electric bike, slope and low step-in frame models

The 'Got It All bike'—truly.

The superbly comfortable and versatile 500 Watt E3 Metro offers the rider the instant choice between riding solely by 'twist of the wrist' throttle or, should he or she be so inclined, pedal activation of the rotation sensing kind.

See and be seen: sit upright on the superb cruiser saddle with hands resting on the raised and optimally adjustable handle bar. Glide along on wide tires. Dual disc brakes stops you reassuringly even down steep hills with the serious loads you may be carrying on the E3's unique dual racks.

Gently twist the throttle: The E3 takes off instantaneously displaying amazing torque and surges smoothly, quietly and swiftly to 20 mph. Few hills shall be encountered which the E3 cannot crest with ease.

Other features include a 36V/10Ah Li-Ion battery unobtrusively placed in the, seat post suspension and 8 speed shifting.

The E3 comes in slope frame (fits riders from about 5'6") and low step-in (fits riders from about 5'2") models.

This powerful and utilitarian design should appeal to the cyclist as well as to someone who might be considering a motor scooter or small motorcycle. But no 'clunker' this one: the E3 is niftily maneuverable, pedals decently even in power-off mode and weighs a mere 55 lb.

iZip Via Urbano electric bike, folding uni-frame

iZip Via Urbano Electric Folder $999	Partially assembled shipping: free

What does a 20" wheel folding bike offer compared to regular 26" or 700c wheel bikes?

Our customers tell us—beyond terrific advantages such as 'stow away security', 'fitting in a small space' and 'ease in getting on and off'—that their stylish, well designed, small wheel folders provide more nimble fun to ride and easy convenience in folding than perhaps anyone really should be entitled to.

But does a small bike really ride as well as a regular size bike? As life long cyclists we admit to initial skepticism and even prejudice. But that was seven years ago. Now we emphatically know the definitive answer: A well designed, quality folder absolutely does. Read more about this increasingly popular bicycle category (whether with an electric motor or not) here.

The elegant, perky and winsome Urbano electric folder is a zippy and quiet delight to ride: It crests serious hills, pedals smoothly concurrently with the motor, and actually pedals with fair ease even without the motor (leisurely on modest terrain, that is).

Powered by a smooth and quiet 250 Watt rear hub motor the Urbano is pedal activated (of the 'rotation sensing' design) with three instant power level settings. 15 mph top speed.

The 24 Volt, 5 Ah, 3 lb Li-Ion battery is discretely placed in the frame but removes easily case need. It charges on or off the bike.

⊕ Click images to enlarge.

With its 20" wheels and uni-frame design the Urbano is easy to straddle and fits riders from about 5' to above 6'.

7-speed derailleur and dual disc brakes.

Folds quickly to 21" W x 34" L x 27" H.

Weighs 42 lb plus the 3 lb battery.

Comes in deep blue.

Fenders and rear rack not included. This is an awkward model to fit but while we manage it does take a lot of time. For bikes picked up the installed prices are $80 for a fender set, $95 for a large and sturdy rear rack or $155 for both. (A small rear rack that clamps on the to seat post is alternatively available for $35).

Currie offers no folder for 2012. Here's you last chance to purchase the highly accomplished Urbano for a mere $999. If you need to double your range get an extra battery for a mere $295 with bike purchase.
